United States steamship Cincinnati will leave Chemulpo to-morrow . for Chenampho to bring away the women and children from the American com- pany’s mine at Unsan. The famiiies of American missionaries south of the Yalu are not cousidered to be in any danger, but every precaution is being taken for their safety. A messenger from the mines at Un- isan, who left Chenampho on Wednes- day last, says that everything is quiet in that vicinity. Only a few recon- noitering parties of Cossacks were seen north of that point and there probably were only a few hundredls of Russiang in all south of the Yalu. There is little prospect for any seri- ous conflict in this quarter within the . next six weeks. Thus far there has been no trouble at the mines and there is lttle like- Hthood they will be interfered with, both sides having given every assur- ance in that respect. The only pos- sible danger is from straggling parties of pillagers, but from these the min- ers are able to protect themselves, having on hand three Colt guns and an ample supply of rifles. | 1 | i . An engagement took place on the | ticable properly to consider and pass 8th inst. between Russian and Japan- | monopoly measures at a short special | ese cavalry. scouts near Kasang, fifty- seven miles north of Pingyang. One Japanese - trooper was killed during the fight. The Russians eventually retired. The engagement referred to in'the foregoing dispatch is possibly the, same one reported from Tokio under date of March 10, which, however, made no mention of casualties. BROWN GUNNERS i HAVE THE RANGE | OF PORT ARTHUR| TIENTSIN, March 12.—The first cred!- | ble reports of the effect of the bom- bardment of Port Arthur from mid- night on Wednesday to past noon on| Thursday last which have been received | here arrived to-day. Eye-witnesses say | that the Japanese fire, which was in-! different in previous attacks, showed | marvelous accuracy. The fire came from | the direction of Pigeon Bay, where the Russians report having sighted double | the previous number of Japanese ves- sels, and it is supposed that transports of various kinds accompany the fleet. | It is reported that the Retvizan, which it is understood was then inside the en- | trance of the harbor, was struck sev eral times and that there were fata ties among the crew. It is also said that the Golden Hill forts were badly damaged and that there were many casualties among the remaining non- combatants in the new town, which suffered most. One building in the rear of the War Bureau was destroyed, and | | elsewhere a shell annihilated an entire | | family. | The Russians are suppressing the cir- | culation of foreign newspapers, and any | person suspected of being a correspond- | |'ent is ordered out of thelr lines. Resi-| | dents of Port Arthur assert that the | defenders of that place possess the de-| | lusfon that British officers command | | the Japanese ships. A leading ‘police | officer who had been prominent in u-’ | pelling suspects killed himself, it is're- ported, on account of his failure to ap- prehend newspaper correspondents. | 15 3| | the Boxer rising.

Practically complete figures, with Formosa and some districts of Japan missing, show that the first issue of 100,000,000 yen of exchequer war bonds has been subscribed four and a half times. The subscriptions recorded by the Bank of Japan amount to 450,000,000 yen. This proves the correctness of the preliminary estimate that the Govern ment would be able to raise 500,000,000 ven for war purposes from domestic sources. The Cabinet and elder statesmen con- ferred for four hours to-day. They dis- cussed the financial situation and the war tax measures to be submitted to the special session of the Diet, and de- cided to raise $25,000,000 by postponing Government undertakings and $35,000,- 000 by a war tax. Until recently it was thought imprac- Minister of session, and it seemed to have been agreed that they should be left for ac- tion by the regular session. Russia's extensive military programme, how- ever, makes an extension of Japan’s | financial programme inoperative, so the | monopoly measures possibly may be submitted to the special session of the | Diet. The- condition of the wounded Rus- the Japanese Red Cross hospital who do not show any unusual symptoms is thought here to prove that there is untruth Russian allegation in regard to the pe- culiarly peisonous nature of the gase- ous exhalations from the shells and torpedoes. The statement in the Russian report that the Japanese used lyddite in the bombardment of Vladivostok is be- lieved to have been made with the ob- ject of conveying the impression that Great Britain supplied this explosive. The report that Russia is sending submarine boats overland to the Far East is much commented upon, observ- ers facetiously recalling the Russian Emperor’s proposal at The Hague peace conference that the use of submarine boats ought to be condemned as being uncivilized. Count Okuma Shigenobu, former Prime Minister, is heading a movement for the publication in connection with the St. Louis Exposition of a historical | work entitled *“Anglo-American Influ-! ence in Japan.” The object is to com- memorate the fiftieth anniversary of the negotiation of the first Japanese treaty with the United States. There will be about 100 distinguished con- tributors, including Prince Keiki, the last of the shoguns; Marquis Ito and Field Marshal Yamagata. Colonel O. E. Woods, military attache of the United States embassy, has planned to make the work complete historically from the time of the restoration. FIRE SHIPS USED IN THE ATTEMPT TO BLOCK CHANNEL ST. PETERSBURG, March 12.—Ad- miral Stark’s detailed reports of the attempt to bottle up the Russian fleet at Port Arthur on February 24 and the engagement of February 25 says: “The Japanese steamers intended to be sunk in the roadsted were fireships of the deadliest sort, being soaked with petroleum and sprinkled with coal dust. A large quantity of calcium carbide on board the ships prevented the pos- sibility of quenching the flames. One of the ships burned for a week. The | Russians were seriously hampered in the pursuit with torpedo-boats, owing to the fear of floating mines among the wreckage in the roadsted. “Charts found on board the hulks showed the spots where it had been planned to sink them, and also the ex- act position of the battleship Retvi- zan. “In the action of February 25 the cruisers Novik, Bayan and Askold had gone to sea in search of the missing torpedo-boat destroyers Pezposhtcholni and Vnushitelni, sent out the previous | evening. The former, during the en- gagement, managed to run in at full and wounded sailors. | gratefully accepted the of-| in the | Japanese | | Dyspepsta Will Be Driven OF the Earth. | confined to Americ used now all o tame has spread | countries and they cure |all lands and all climates just as as /théy do at home.
