EARLY GENERAL ASSAULT PROBABLE, - Japanese Are Effectively Bombarding the Battleships in Port Arthur with the Result That Several of Them Have . Been Set on Fire,a0d the Others Must Etther Put to Sea or Be Destroyed. Tokio, Dec, 6—The Russians are nightly attacking 203-meter hill in a determined endeavor to re-take the summit of the ground in contention. The Japanese are increasing their de- on the position and have suc- so far in repelling all the-as- sal The Russians have suffered the heaviest losses and it is estimated that sacrificed 3,000 men in an re-capture the ground, which japanese are confident in their to hold. Observations indicate e garrison is feeling the short- en. The works against the Sungshu mountain and to the eastward, are gee ver 3 aS a FSS EEF ates 8 ig sault, although the date when it will begin is kept secret. It is expected that the next general assault will prove successful. The effective bombardment of the Russian battleships in Port Arthur which began on Saturday last was one of the results of the capture’ of 203- meter hill. Up to that time the war- ships had been able to seek shelter from the Japanese fire under Peiyu mountain, but the capture of 203-meter hill November 29-30 enabled the Jap- anese to train their guns on the Rus- sian vessels with the result that a number of them have been set on fire and the others must either put to sea or suffer irreparable damage. . . The Port Arthur besiegers report as follows: “On Saturday, December 3, our naval guns bombarded the enemy's ships, The Pobieda (battleship) was struck six times, a vessel of the Ret- ivigan (battleship) type was hit eight times and on other ships 16 shells took effect. “On Monday following the same plan the Poebida was hit seven times, the Poltava (battleship) 11 times and the Retvizan 11 times. At about three in the afternoon one of our shels! struck @ magazine south of Peiyu mountain causing a heavy explosion, The con- flagration which followed was not ex tinguished for two hours. “The same day our heavy guns were directed at the enémy’s ships. The Peresveit (battleship) was struck twice and two more shells were lodged in other ships. A vessel of the Poltava type was observed to be on fire for one hour, sending up a great volume of smoke. “The attacking operations against the Sungshu mountain forts eastward are carried on day and night. Two 36-milimeter quick-firers were cap- tured Sunday in a halfmoon fort de- fending a counterscarp on Rihlung mountain.” Mukden, Dec. 6.—There is a persis- tent report that the force of Japanese ' sent to turn Gen. Rennenkampff’s flank has been repulsed with great loss. The story is not yet officially confirmed, but details are given with great cir- cumstantiality. It is stated that Gen. Rennenkampff, who knew the movement was matur- ing, awaited the Japanese at the mouth of one of the captured passes, and that the Japanese turning force threw themselves unsuspectingly into the am- buseade, where, after the fight, the Russians collected 500 Japanese bodies. It is added that there are 1,000 more Japanese bodies which it has been, impossible to collect owing to the fire of the Japanese. This does not include the Japanese loss in wounded. The Rus- sian loss, according to this account, was only 30 or 40 men.

Levenworth, Kan , Dec 4 —Fred” Wittrock, who died here last night, was in the Forthinghnm express robbery soutl, of St. L: uis on the 1887. He planned the robbery and borded and express car with a bogus order stating that he was to be as- sistant meseenger. After the train left St. Louis, Forthingham as bound and gagged and thesafe of the $124,000, Wittrock floated down the river inacanoe to-an island, where he hid most of the money, Later he brought part of the money here and gave.some cf it to personal .|triende.

SIGNED NOTES FOR OVER A MILLION. President Beckwith States That Each of Three Notes Bore What Purported to Be the Sigoatare of Andrew Carnegie— Ioterested Parties thering in New York and Developments Expected Soon, New York, Dec. 6.—The startling ad- mission by President Beckwith of the Citizen’s National bank of Oberlin, 0., that he and Cashier Spear of that bank had indorsed Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick's notes to the amount of $1,250,000 and that they bore what purported to be the signature ef Andrew Carnegie, has astoundgd the New York lawyers rep- resenting the various interests involved in a case which becomes more sur- prising with every new revelation. That President’s Beckwith's statement brings to light new and important phases of the case and brings much nearer the inevitable uncovering of the entire affair is the belief of a majori- ty of the attorneys interested. Percy W. Carver, counsel for Her- bert D. Newton, of Brookline, Mass., who has claims for almost $200,000 against Mrs. Chadwick, speaking of the statement made by Pres- ident Beckwith of the Citizens’ Nation- al bank of Oberlin, 0., sajd develop- ments had come so fast that he did not know what to say. ‘e thought, however, that Mr. Beckwith must have made the statement under pressure, or being on the verge of a nervous col- lapse “had lost his nerve.” Possibly developments affecting the whereabouts of a note for $500,000 which President Beckwith says he in- dorsed for Mrs, Chadwick are antici- pated by the attorneys now that its existence has for the first time become known publicly, Mr. Beckwith said that Mrs, Chadwick gave her word not to dispose of it or raise money on it and counsel for Herbert D. Newtor of Boston is authority for the state- ment that the Newton loan was not based on such a note. Whether the existence of this note will point to other loans by Mrs. Chadwick, as yet not made public, is a matter of much speculation. Iri Reynolds, of the Wade Park banking company, of Cleveland, ar- rived. here accompanied by his attor- ney, Andrew Squire. He went to the Waldorf-Astoria and registered, but left there shortly afterwards for an- other hotel, -_——_— 'TOONDS Tt.

Andrew Carnegie was shown a copy of the dipsatch from Cleveland, in which District Attorney Sullivan of that city is quoted as saying that he had recently in his possession a note for $250,000 signed by Mr. Carnegie’s name and indorsed on the back “C. L. Chadwick.” His secretary gave out this statement for Mr. Carnegie: Mr. Carnegie says that it is years since he has given a note of any kind or indorsed any note. He says that there are no notes in his name outstanding at present.” The secretary further said that Mr. Carnegie had no knowl- edge of Mrs, Chadwick. Beckwith In a Stute of Collapse, Oberlin, 0., Dec. 6.—President C. T. Beckwith is practically in a state of collapse as a result of the trying or- deal through which he passed in con- nection with his hearing before the United States commissioner at Cleve- land. Beckwith is completely pros- trated And his grief is pitiful. In dis- cussing his troubles the voice of the aged banker is choked with emotion. Tuesday in speaking of the Carnegie notes he vehemently declared that if the signatures were forgeries then the hand of the law should be laid upon Mrs. Chadwick. “Why should I stand the brunt of all this trouble which has been directly brought about by the acts of that woman?” he cried. Continving, Mr. Beckwith said: “I have every reason to believe that the notes were genuine. Indeed, Mrs, Chad- wick swore they were. She solemnly declared that she had seen Mr. Car- negie write his signature on them. To confirm this she brought an at- torney with her who declared that he was the legal representative of Mr. Carnegie ang this attorney, whose name I cannot now state, declared that he knew positively that the sig- natures were genuine. myself—did endorse the notes, but of course we had no idea that they were to be put to the use that they were afterward. Then, again, we had the positive assurance of Iri Reynolds, secretary of the Wade Park Banking company at Cleveland, that he had the securities that Mrs. Chadwick claimed he had.” . “Oh, my God!” exclaimed the old man, “if I could only have nly life to live again for the past two years that I might save my name from this great dishonor that has befallen me.” 7 ‘Wagon Crashes Child’s Head, Vinita, I.
