Steve offe 1 consequence the foundation | There is nothing " just | L5 e ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.—The Czar has received the following from Viceroy Alexieff, dated Port Arthur, | February 26: | “After the moon had set early in the morning of February the Ret- vizan repelled several attacks by the enemy’s torpedo-boats, two of which |are believed to have been sunk in the | open sea. Our torpedo-boats, under Captain of the First Rank Matuszvich and Captain of the Second Rank | Prince Lieven, unsupported, encoun- |tered and pursued the enemy’s tor- pedo-boat flotilla. They sighted no large warships. “Later in the morning of February the cruisers Bayan, Diana, Askold and Novik were sent out to prevent the Japanese cruisers from pursuing a portion of our returning torpedo-boat flotilla. One of our torpedo-boats, { which was cut off by four Japanese | cruisers, sought shelter in Dove Bay. ‘Il had no casualties. | “The Japanese fleet, on sighting our cruisers, came in closer to the forts, | which, together with our warships, opened fire at 10:50 o'clock. Our | cruisers, still firing, entered the har- | bor, which our torpedo-boats had al- | ready safely reached. “The enemy's shells, for the most part, fell short. One seaman was | wounded, but we sustainéd no other losses. he Japan fleet consisted of seventeen large warships and eight | torpedo-boats, whereas the squadron | which attempted to block the entrance {to Port Arthur on the previous day had twelve torpedo-boats.” SHELLS FALL IN FORTRESS. The Port Arthur correspondent of | the Russ telegraphs as follows: “On the morning of February 25 a Japanese squadron consisting of six battleships and four light cruisers ap- peared on the horizon. The Russian cruisers Askold, Ba¥an and Novik were in the outer harbor. The Jap- anese ships, upon attaining a position within thirty-five cable lengths (about four and a quarter miles) of the Rus- sian ships opened an attack. At this time two of our torpedo-boats were re- turning to our ships from Pigeon Bay. All the Japanese cruisers attempted to cut them off. Nevertheless one of the torpedo-boats succeeded in reach- ing Port Arthur, while the other turn- ed back. The scene of sthe battle was thus cut in two, the Japanese battle- ships can ading the Askold, Bayan and Novik, which were supported by the batteries, and the cruisers pur- suing the Russian torpedo-boat, which entered Pigeon Bay. “The cannonade | | | A | | { lasted forty min- ates, ard several shells fell at various points in the fortress. One Chinese was mortally wounded by a splinter | and another by a shell “In yesterda. affair the maneuvers | of the Japanese appeared to be defect- ive. While turning back to sea the Japanese battleships got bunched, and our ships did not fail to take advan- tage of this fact. They opened a run- ning fire, and one could plainly see shelis bursting amid the tremendous target. This clumsy maneuver on the part of the Japanese is considered as affording weighty reasons for the be- lief that the enemy’s losses were heavy. “A Japanese torpedo-boat lies on a | bank off Port White Wolf. It is ap- parently one of those which partici- | pated in the night attack with the freighters.” TROOP CARS FOR SIBERIA. wo thousand cars from the Russian European system especially fitted for the transportation of troops are being sent to the Siberian line. Alexandrovsky, who is to take charge of the Red Cross field work in it Far East, left for the front to- day. The Novoe Vremya says the Slav pro-Russian demonstrations indicate | the willingness of the Slavs to come u r the Russian standard, adding: r hesitation overcome if Russia would be less un- compromising on the questions of or- | ithodoxy and autocracy, as the Slavs enjoy constitulional government and in many cases do not belong to the | Greek church.” The Novoe Vremya hBpes the pan- Union wi settle the near st question once for all in favor of ! Russia’s aspirations. | Prince Arsene Karageorgevitch { (brother of the King of Seryia) has gazetted a captain of trans- | Baikal Cossacks. | The desperate manner in which the Japanese are returning to the attack in Port Arthur, in spite of their re- [ pezted repulses, has convinced the military authorities that their main jective for the present is to hope- vist | been o t lessly cripple the Russian fleet, in or- der to secure zbsolute freedom in the | disembarkation of troops. or this | reason the Russian commander - is carefully guarding against exposing his ships, keeping them in the harbor { under the guns of the fortifications. | A doubt exists as to whether the Japanese really design to land near Port Arthur and invest the city. The authorities admit that they are con- siderably mystified, but the prevailing ' opinion seems to be that the Japanese will not hazard a landing at this stage | of the campaign. | POOR LANDING PLACES. It is pointed out that owing to the | conformation of the shores the only | suitable landing places near Port Ar- thur are well within the range of the | batteries, and that if a landing is at- tempted on the northern part of the peninsula the Japanese transports will be unable to come to land, and that on | would" have to march miles through | mud and low water exposed to a gall- . | ing off-shore fire. The Ministry of Finance, it is said, has again declined firmly the offers of | several groups of leading foreign banks to fioat a Russian loan on the ground that there is no need for adopting such a course. According to a telegram received from the commander of the Russlan cruiser Askold at Port Arthur all ru- mors regarding the sinking of his ves- sel are falee. The commander adds that the Askold is quite sound. Count Leo Tolstoi has contributed would finally be | | account of the shelving shore the troops | | Russians Fail to Fathom Intentions of the Foe. o 1000 sets of his works the profit from the sale of which is to be expended for | the benefit of the troops taking part in the campaign in the Far East. R AMERICAN CONSUL WILL NOT PROCEED TO DALNY AT ONCE WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The or- ders of Edward V. Morgan, appointed and confirmed as American Consul at | Dalny, to proceed to that post have been suspendéd. Morgan will not pro- ceed until he has received further or- ders from the department. There is no present intention of trying to force Morgan upon the Russian Govern- ment. The State Department recognizes the right of any Government to with- hold an exequatur, by warrant of which the Consul is authorized to exer- cise his functions, and if another Government does not feel that a Con- sul located in one of its ports facili- tates commerce there is no disposition to make an issue on that point. No change has been made in the or- ders to Cheshire and Davidson, who have been named as Consuls at Muk- den and Antung, respectively, and are about to sail in a day or two from San Francisco for the East. Ll MURAVIEFF'S SPEECH AT THE HAGUE STIRS THE IRE OF JAPAN THE HAGUE, Feb. 27.—Mitsuhashi Noboukata, the Japanese Minister here, has been instructed by his Government to lodge a protest with the president of the council of the permanent court of arbitration against hte language used by Muravieff, president of the ar- bitration tribunal and Russian Minister of Justice, in a speech he made after announcing the tribunal’s decision in favor of the blockading powers as against Venezuela. It is expected in diplomatic circles that the only result of the Japanese protest will be that a copy of the com- plaint will be sent to the powers repre- nted before the arbitration tribunal. Muravieff in the course of his re- marks said the findings of the tribunal had been reached after a most minute and most impartial investigation. Like all human acts, the decision was sus- ceptible of criticism, but now that it | was made every one ‘should accept it. The arbitration, begun in times of peace, had ended amid the sinister acts of war, which was a terrible obstacle in the path of light and progress. In =~ spite of all good will, alas, no one was secure against an unexpected hostile attack. A nation was obliged to accept a war when the legitimate defense of honor and liberty was involved. The just providence which ruled over bat- tles would distinguish between right and unfounded pretensions. At the end of this war between a European and an Asiatic people the right, he con- cluded, would shine out afresh. JAPANESE OFFICERS AND SAILORS REACH CHEFU IN OPEN BOAT | | mouth of the port. CHEFU, Feb. 27.—Several Japanese officers and sailors who landed here from an open boat early to-day re- fused to give any information as to where they came from. At theJapanese consulate it was given out that they i belonged to a gunboat which was dam- aged during the fight off Port Arthur and which sank trying to reach this port. A The statement that they were. mem- bers of the crews of the merchant steamships sunk near the entrance of Port Arthur during the attempt to blockade the channel and that they were not picked up by the torpedo- boats was positively denied. They crossed the gulf in the open boat in which they arrived. The Consul claimed that he had been expecting the arrival of survivors of the action off Port Arthur, P A CRUISER VICKSBURG GAVE AID TO CREW OF THE VARIAG WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The text of the message to the Navy Depart- ment from Commander Marshall of the Vicksburg is as follows: “Took the initiative by sending med- ical assistance to the Variag as soon as possible after learning that they were abandoning the vessel. Sent four boats and assisted taking off the Rus- sian sailors, putting them on board the British and Italian vessels. The Variag remained afloat over five hours, filling slowly. Our boats were in- structed not to bring the Russian sail- ors to the Vicksburg, offering the Zafiro temporarily, but the offer was declined.” e L Russians Search British Steamship. ISLAND OF PERIM, Red Sea, Feb. The British steamship Benalder (Captain Mcintosh), which sajled from London on February 6 for Yokohama, passed here this afternoon and sig- naled that she was stopped and searched by a Russian warship in/the Red Sea.

TOKIO, Feb. 27.—The official ]—eponi “Six Months Ago No One Thought I Could Live, | Had Kidoey of the naval officers who attempted to | block the entrance to the harbor of ! Port Arthur on the morning of Febru- ary 24 differs in some respects from the accounts already printed. = From | this report it appears that the Russian ‘= searchlights discovered the approach of the five Japanese steamships before | they had reached the point where it wag proposed to sink them and that the Russian guns disabled three of the five. Another new feature is that a portion of the crews of the sunken steamships were not picked up until the afternoon of the 24th. The report of the officers in substance is as fol- lows: Five vessels intended to obstruct the entrance to Port Arthur advanced about 4 o'clock on the morning of the 24th from the southward through the Lao Thie Shan channel toward the | It appears that the Tenshin Maru, which was in the van, was steered too far to port, and when she was about three miles to the southwest of shore she was hit and se- riously damaged. She was run on the shoals intentionally. The other steamships, which were in her wake, changed their course to the northeast and advanced, but the ene- my’s searchlights flashing upon them impeded their progress. SECOND VESSEL DISABLED. The enemy’s fire first struck the steering gear of the Bushiu Maru, dis- abling her. She grounded near the Tenshin Maru and after striking her officers destroyed her and she sank. Next the Buyo Maru was seriously damaged by the enemy’s shells and she sank before reaching the harbor en- trance. In the meanwhile the Hokoku Maru and the Jinsen Maru had advanced with great energy and had reached the entrance to the harbor with consid- erable difficulty. The Hokoku Maru was on the outer side of the stranded Russian battleship Retvizan and the Jinsen Maru on the eastern side of the Retvizan. The crews of each lighted explosives to destroy the merchant- man, and after giving loud cheers got | into their small béats. ‘When they found their vessels sink- ing the crews endeavored to row to| the Japanese torpedo boats, which were ready to pick them up, but the | Russian searchlights lit up their path and the Russian fire became very se- vere. The crews in their small boats were compeélled to row around under ! cover and they were unable to reach the torpedo boats. * The sea became heavier at sunrise | and’ the crews suffered great hard- ship. They finally succeeded in reach- ing the Japanese squadron at 3 o’clock in the afternoon of the same day. MANNED BY NAVAL CREWS. Naval officers commanded and jackies | manned the five steamships. Merchant crews volunteered for the dangerous undertaking, but their services were not accepted,” Admiral Togo deciding to intrust the perilous mission only to By Back Ached Incessantly.
