The captains, both reliable men, say they did not hear any firing at titat hour. | CHICAGO, June 23.—A special to the Dalily News from Chefu says: Reconnaissance in force of the ap- | proaches to Port Arthur was made yes- | terday by a Japanese flotilla of three | destroyers and four torpedo-boats, which ran in from the east about noon | and cruised along the whole bluff, com- | ing out past Laothieshan promontory. | As the fiotilla steamed along it was’ | heavily engaged with the forts, but ap- | | parently suffered no damage, although | | a signal mast of one of the torpedo- boats was knocked out of shape as if struck by a shell. The operation was backed at some distafice by two cruis- ers, one /of which appeared to be the Yakuma, while one auxiliary cruiser, a noted San Francisco liner, the Nippon, | or a sister ship, acted as sea scout in the rear. Shortly afterward heavy firing began on the land side, lasting intermittently | until dusk. - I RUSSIANS ATTACK OUTPOSTS. l.\ll’or Kubota Is Killed and Nine | Men Are Wounded. | GE AL KUROKI'S HEAD- | QUARTERS IN THE FIELD, via Fu- | san, Korea, June 23.—Russians from Saimak attacked the Japanese out- posts in force yesterday afternoon, ap- | parently ‘for the purpose of testing | their strength.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 23.—Gen- eral Kuropatkin's latest official dis- patches show the Japanese to be ac- tive north of Fengwangcheng.

June 23.—Contirma- tion of the reported attack on the came to the State Department to-day in the following cablegram from Min- ister Powell at Port au Prince, dated June 22: . “The French and German Ministersy, with their ladies, while passing the | palace in thelr carriages yesterday, were stoned by the palace guards. | French Minister slightly injured. Apol- ogy demanded, but none given. Thought to have cabled their govern- ments.” , , The most serious feature of the af- fair is that the attack was nop made by an irresponsible mob, but by the palace guards, which directly connects the Haytien Government with the oc- currente. A month ago the State Department was forewarned of approaching trouble by its agents in Hayti, and has been watching the little republic closely, keeping an available force near at hand. The Detroit, which went from Do- minican waters to participate in the Nova Scotian celebration, will return to San Domingo, as it is proposed by the Navy Department to keep three vessels close to Hayti and San Do- mingo.

Less than half a century ago Bates Academy was one of the most popular pre- paratory schools ini the State. Mr. Bates was so proficient in this work that his servifes were sought by the Regents of the University as soon as this institu- tion came under State control. There are quite a number of promi- nent men to-day who received their training in Bates Academy and who are justly proud -of their alma mater. The news of' their former master’'s death will touch them greatly. Francisco school was first established on Hyde street, but was removed later | to 2310 Clay street.
