PETERSBURG, Nov. 1T.—As a result of the dispatches received from General Stoessel, the War Office ex- presses entire confidence that Port Ar- thur will be able to held out till the arrival of the Russian second Pacific Squadron. General] Stoessel, in his dispatches to Emperor Nicholas, reports the repuise of the Japanese attack on October 26 on the north front of Port Arthur. The Russian losses were 450 killed or wounded. All of the atiacks on No- T 3, the anniversary of the Em- ® ascension to the throne, were repulsed. (General Stoessel was slightly wound- ed in the head during one of the latest assauits on Port Arthur. The text of General Stoessel's patches of October 28 is as follows: We have the honor to report.to your Majesty that the Japanese bombarded very vigorously on October 25 our forts and entrepchments north and north- east. The following day they also at- tacked one of the forts on the north side, but our heavy artillery and shrap- : eport fort No. 2, dis- nel fire dispersed their reserves and the = was repulsed. Our losses were one officer and about seventy men killed and four hundred wounded.” In a telegram dated October 30 Gen- eral Stoesse] says: “Since my dispatch of October 28 the bombardme:t continues with great flerceness.” Under date of November 3.General Btoessel telegraphed: “We greet the Emperor. This day, a solemn one for all vur country, we offer prayers to wod and send to our Emperor felicitations in the shape of | reverberating hurrahs. On bended | nees we pray to God to give heaith to { | your Majesty and their Majesties, the | Empresses and the Grand Duke Czare- vitch. Our joy is all the greater be- cause all the assaults, which lasted nine days, have been repuised up to | this great day, the anniversary o. your accession to the throne, the same date our Japanese enemies celebrate the an- nivereary of the birth of their Mikado and whereupon they had sworn to take fhe fortress. God is with us.” CHEFU, 17.—Fignting at Port Nov, Arthur has taken place nightly since | the Japanese began their general as- | sault on October 26, according to Cap- tain Ronberg, a pilot, who was a pas- senger on the Russian torpedo-boat de- stroyer Rasteropny. The Japanese trenches, the captain says, are closest to the forts on Rih- lung and Keewan mountains and other forts of the northeastern group. The sharpshooters of both sides oc- cupying the pits converse with one an- other and frequently make individual truces, in order to borruw cigarettes or to_reljeve their cramped limbs. The Japanese are displaying great energy in the construction of trenches and the mounting of guns. All of the railroad steamships be- | except the | longing to the Russians, e¢] serew transport Amur, have been nk by Japamese shells. The hospital ship Angara (formerly a transport) has been sunk in shallow water. The pa- tients are still on board the ship and pre comfortable. The Japanese shells directed against the harbor are fired with remarkable accuracy. Recently a silk-clad Chi- nese, who was scen traveling in a sampan, was watched by the Russians, who observed that following the dis- charge of each shell, he placed a hand- kerchief to his nose and then into his | left packet, occasionally varying these movements, apparently thus signaling the landing places of the shells. The shells fell behind obstructions, which fact prevented the Japanese obtaining a direct view of their effect. The Chi- nese was hanged. One day last week a hospital ship moved too mear the battleships in the harbor, whereupon the Japanese ped small shells around her, with | drop the obvious purpose of warning her away. The ship took ‘the hint, and _when she was outside the zone of dan- ger large shells began falling near the battleships. e WHERE FLEETS MAY BATTLE. Japanese Likely to Meet Baltic Ships in the Indian Ocean. MOSCOW, Nov. 17.—Vice Admiral Bezobrazoff, who has just returned from Vladivostok, was Interviewed here to-day. He said the recently constructed fortifications at Viadivos- tok made the position there stronger than ever. The entrance to the har- bor has been thoroughly mined. The protected cruiser Bogatyr is out of dock and the armored cruiser Cromo- boi is undergoing repairs, Admiral Bezobrazoff believes the second Pacific squadron will be at- tacked in the Indian Ocean. He said the Viadivostok squadron would soon make another sortie. to | ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 18, 2:15 a. m.—Rejoicing over the undaunted spir- it displayed by Genmeral Stoessel in his telegram of congratulation to Emperor Nicholas on the anniversary of his ac-/ cession to the-throne and officially an- nrouncing the failure of General Nogi's nine-day attempt to presemnt Port Ar- thur to the Mikado as a birthday gift, is tempered py private information that ' the gailant' commander of the garrison | has been wounded. General Stoessel was struck on the head by a splinter from a shell while he was persumlllyt directing the repuise of a particularly desperate assauit. Fortunately the! wound is not serious and General Stoes- | sel has not been obliged to relinquish | command. General Stoessel is regarded | as the heart and soul of the defense | and his death, or disability which would cause him to relinquish command, | would be regarded as an irremediable | misfortune. Other rmation sent by General | Stoessel. ®hich has not been divuiged | for strategic reasons it is said by the| War Office is by no means unfavorable. While the garrison is now hemmed in | in the citadel itseif, not one of the main | forts has been taken. The garrison has been provisioned, fresh ammunition has | arrived and General Stoessel expressed | confidence that the defense can be suc- | cessfully maintained until the arrival | of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's Second | Pacific squadron. The report that the armored cruiser Gromoboi has been damaged at Viadi- | vostok is confirmed.

LONDON, Nov. 18.—The fact that the Russian torpedo-boat destroyer Rasto- | pny (which arrived at Chefu on | Wednesday) left Port Arthur much later than thé date of General Stoes- gel's published report, which relates nothing la’ than November 3, is re- garded as significant.

Thirty trains are run- nipg daily. “The Chinese General Ma has re- ceived reinforcements again and has installed further Japanese military in- structors. The Russians regard him with deep suspicion and are keeping a sharp watch on his actions. “The news of the revolt of the re- serves in European Russia makes a deep impression. The army newspa- that people who betray their in _the hour of need are not worthy to bear the Russian name.” BEF, LI T JAPANESE BOND ISSUE IS COMPLETE SUCCESS Applications for approximately $40,000 worth of Japanese bonds were received at the Nevada Bank yesterday. The to- | tal amount subscribed in this city 1s nearly $1,400,000. No requests for the securities can be honored after this morning. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New York telegraphed the Nevada Bank yesterday that the loan was a complete success in the East and directed that no subscriptions be received after this morning. President Hellman sald yes- terday: “California has responded to the Jap- anese call for funds much more readily than we had any reason to expect. Ac- | cording to theory and history loans should be secured only with great aif- ficulty when the nation borrowing is at War. “In this instance we find the desired amounts heavily oversubscribed wher- ever the bonds are offered. This re- | markable state of affairs indicates con- clusively that the world’s most careful and far seeing financiers have unques- tioned confidence in the ability of the Japanese to triumph in their war with Russia.” —_—— CHINESE GARB IS TABOOED. Japancse Will Treat as a Spy Any One Wearing It. 3 HARBIN, Nov. 17.—Orders have been given to the Japanese troops to shoot any one in Chinese garb observ- ed approaching the line for fear they may be Russians in disguise. Notices have been posted offering a reward of $25 for every Chinese spy captured. ! "“The Chinese bandits are very active. | The Japanese are enlisting Chinese militia hired in the village of Syobay- iki at 30 cents a day.

TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 17.—The tom- pany now en route to San Francisco to present “The Runaways” will arrive in California minus Miss Sallle Randall, who left it here last night. Miss Ran- dall left New York with the company ten weeks ago, but says there has been a constant endeavor to take away her lines and give them to members of the chorus. Matters became worse from her standpoint and two weeks ago she told Manager Comstock that she want- ed to leave. Bhe says he declined to give up her trunks, though she thinks that he desired her assistance only un- til the San Francisco engagement was campleted. Reaching Tacoma, Miss Randall found her husband, John Els- ridge, playing in vaudeville at the Ly- ceum Theater. She accordingly went betore Justice Garrebon and started a suit to recover her trunks, with the re- sult that she got them. Her part has been given to a member of the chorus. Miss Randall’s specialty is vaudeville work and she will join her husband at the Lyceum. ———— A clean heart is the secret of a clean head. S, | FREE FREE FREE WITH SUNDAY CALL SMALL ADS.

OMAHA, Nov. 17.—Paul J. Schafer of Oakland, Cal, in his attempt to have set aside the divorce decree obtained from him by his wife, to-day testified that he broke up housekeeping in May, 1901, “because he did not propose to keep open house for a bunch of Chris- tian Scientists.” He said Mrs. Schafer had turned a part of the house into a meeting place for the Christian Scien- tists and that she had put a sign on the front door inviting them to enter without knocking. - Schafer testified that Mrs. Schafer would not allow medical attendance for their children. One time, he said, their little boy snapped off the end of his finger while working at his bicycle and Mrs. Schafer protested very much when it was wrapped up. Again, said Schafer. when the little girl was ill he sent for a doctor and the wife refused him admittance. In referring to Herbert Beck, to whom Mrs. Schafer was subsequently married, Mr. Schafer said this man had frequently called at his home in Oak- land and that he had protested. Mrs. Schafer, however, answered that he came to see both of them. .In less than six months after the di- vorce she was married to Beck at ouncil Bluffs. Jowa. Schafer further toetified that his first knowledge of the divorce obtained by his wife in Omaha was when he was arrested for kidnap- ing one of his own children. FORMER SURVEYOR GENERAL FOUND GUILTY OF FORGERY Henry Meldrum Is Convicted in Comn- nection With the Land Fraud Cases in Oregon. PORTLAND, Nov. 17.—Henry Mel- drum, former Surveyor General for Oregon, was found gullty of forgery in the land fraud cases this afternocon after the jury had deliberated half an hour. This applies to all the twenty- one counts on which Meldrum was in- dicted. Meldrum’s defense amounted to little more than the testimony of rep- utable men who swore to his previous good reputation. Inspector Greene of the Interior Department to-day told how, in 1902, he began an investigation. Among the papers seized in Meldrum's desk were a number of application blanks for surveys partly filled out. In some cases there was no description of the lands although the settler’'s name and the notary’s certificate were at- tached. These were forwarded to Washington with his report. All this evidence afterward disappeared. At the time Representative Herrmann was Land Commissioner. The evidence of handwriting experts was brought in to cinch the forgery charges. Meldrum, according to the verdict, forged set- tlers’ names to the affidavits. —_——— BUCKLEY IS GRANTED ANOTHER REPRIEVE Acting Governor Andersom Stays the Execution of the Convicted Mur- derer for Thirty Days.
