The effect of this ‘vould be to cut off the main coal supply of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur. ‘The Legation official add that China's continuance of supplying the Russians with coal would be a breach of neutrality. . +-—___—_— NEWS BODES ILL FOR RUSSIAN WARSHIPS LONDON, Feb. 9.—Naval men in London regard the result of Vapan’s first attack with torpedo boats on the Russian fleet off Port Arthur as being a staggering one. They point out that \ iceroy Alexieft’s reference to “mines” obviously means “torpedoes,” and say that it the Russian vessels were struck by Whitehead torpedoes they probably have been sunk or are testing on the mud in Port Artfur, in any case hope- lessly out of action for a considerable time. RUSSIAN VICTORY WAS ONLY IMAGINARY ERSBURG, Feb. 9.—The announcement of the sinking f STF of eleven Japanese ships and the fact that Port Arthur was in flames was | given out in St. Petersburg at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon as official, but investigation showed the report to be untrue. The only confirmed official communication is that from Admiral Alexieti, a sudden attack on the Russian squadron in the outer roads of the fortress of Port Arthur, in which the battleships Retvizan and Cesarevitch and the cruiser Pallada had been damaged. RUSSIA EXCITED BY THE NEWS. . The news that Japan had duplicated her tactics at the opening of the Ghina-Japanese war by a torpedo attack on the Russian ships off Port \« Arthur created intense excitement. The bare announcement arrived from | Viceroy Aiexieti at’ 8 o'clock this morning. Details are anxiously awaited. | Extra editions of the morning papers printed early in the forenoon, after | the appearance of the Official Messenger, conveyed the intelligence to the | population of the capital*and dispelled any lingering hopes that war could | be averted. { The Czar and his Ministers, who had been informed immediately of the receipt of Viceroy Alexielt's telegram, accepted the gage and prepared | : to face the reality of war. His Majesty’s manifesto declaring a state of war to exist is expected | $ to be issued to-morrow morning at the latest. Feverish activity reined at al! the Ministries and war preparations were pushed in all directions. . ‘The Russian Red Cross Society already has sent 2,000 beds to the Far Last and Sisters of Mercy are leaving. The temper of the people, which was Indicated In the great “personal demonstration accorded to ‘heir Majesties at the Imperial Upera-House yesterday evening, the audience rising and singing “God Save the Czar and Give Him Victory,” was further manifested this morning after the arrival of the news on Port Artbur in the crowds of volunteers who besieged the general staff officers. The nava) reserves have been called out. “WOK BETIDE JAPAN,”’ SAYS RUSSIA, The action of the Japanese in attacking the Russian fleet without a declaration of war is denounced as an outrage by the Russians generally and the result, instead of discouraging them, seems to have been to furnish the spark necessary to fire Russian patriotism. From the larger centres throughout European Russia comes information that the country is already aroused by the Japanese action in breaking off the negotiations. Commenting on the address of loyalty from the provincial council of the Government of Yaroslave,-the Novoe Vremya says It indicates the sen- timents of the whole Russian people, adding: “WOE BETIDE JAPAN.” ‘The effect on the Bourse, where, !t was rumored, the full extent of the fighting at Port Arthur had not been made public, and that the engegcment) was still progressing, was that a resumption of the panic seemed absolutely | {nevitable. The market had no support, Imperial 4s {glling another point. Lottery bonds were quoted at 36 roubles and bank stocks at 26.

Mr. McCormick’s principal duties will be to protect the few Japanese subjects who reside in European Kussia. ‘Ihere are only twenty of them in St. Petersiurg and five in Moscow, But there may be ditiiculties in Asiatic Russia. 5 The Associated Press learns that M. Kurino recommended his govern- ment, instead of the action taken, to suspend negotiations with Russia and to offer to submit the controversy to ‘he Hague Arbitration Tribunal, but At is believed here that the Japanese feared that on account of the ex- eltement of the people ‘ + would not support the government in such a course. ‘The Russian authorities declare that the Russian response was in Baron de Rosen's hands, at Tokio, and was being translated when Japan's notili- cation of the severance of diplomatic relations arrived. TOKIO, Feb. 9.—War is on. Both Japan and Russia have taken steps that make further negotiations toward a peaceful settlement im- possible. Russia deliberately precipitated the crisis. Transports were loaded with troops at Port Ariuu: and secretly despatched under escort of the fleet to the mouth of the Yalu River. The division, which included 15,000 Cossacks, was landed in Corea. Japan retaliated by ordering her fleet to Masampho. A file of marines took possession of the Russian merchant vessels in the harbor, including the Shilk and Manchuria. Another vessel, which had been chartered and which was then loading with coal and supplies for Port Arthur, was also taken, RUSSIAN SHIPS SEIZED, No resistance was offered and the vessels are now under guard, Advices from Nagasaki say that two other Russian vessels were taken outside and were escorted to Sasebo.

INTERFERES IN THE WAR. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The United States has be- come involved in the diplomatic tangle surrounding the possible outcome of active hostilities between Russia and Japan by taking the initiative in a demand upon the bellig- erent nations that the neutrality and integrity of China must be recognized. In case there should be an international conflict grow- ing out of this war the United States by joining with the other powers in the demand would be compelled to do her share in enforcing it. x The initiative part taken by the United States consists lin the sending of an identical note to the mest influential of the powers to ascertain if they are willing to join in a notice to Russia and Japan insisting upon the neutrality and integrity of China during hostilities and thereafter. This note, it is said, has been forwarded. Details will not be obtained until all replies have been received. CAUSED A GREAT SENSATION. Previous to sending the note there were diplomatic exchanges which are believed to have made Secretary Hay and the President feel justified in expecting that all the responses will4re favorable. Next to the report of FRENCH TAKE CHINA FORTS OVER PROTESTS OF BRITISH LONDON, Feb. 9—A despatch to Reuter’s Telegram Company from Tien Tsin says: “A French transport avith a battalion of troops from Ton- quin is hourly expected at Shan Tai Kwan (on the Guif of Liao Tung), to that the Tricolor of France was hoisted there this morning and that the British officer in charge at Shan Hal Kwang protested against the French occupation, At present there is only a single sentry guarding the .

On Monday a steamer took 100 and proceeded to Dalny, thence to Japan. Others are going to China. Admiral Alexieff tried to reassure them and j chants are leaving here in fear that the Chinese will rise. War corre- spondents will use despatch boats. Foreign officers who have been refused ion to accompany the fleet probably will accompany the army.

United States is the sensation in diplomatic circles. Jn effect it means a notification to Ru that fighting must be con- fined to Corea, Siberia, Japan and Japanese possessions.

Although the demand will be made upon both the warring nations, it will be directed against R as Japan is not supposed to have any ulterior designs upon Chinese territory. LINES UP WITH OLD NATIONS, This action of, the Secretary of State lines up the United States with the nations of the Old World other than Ryssia in demanding that Man- churia be preserved as it is. Until details are furnishea, of course, it will be impossible for the people of the country to know just how far their representatives in Wash- ington have gone, Leaders of both parties want to know more before discussing the matter, but it is regarded as surprising that the United Stites should take the leading hand, inasmuch as it was thought that the position of ths country was thoroughly understood AMERICAN FLEET SENT TO CHINA.

Dressed entirely in black, her face heavily velled, Mrs. Delia Lupo walked this Into the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court to-day and faced the jury which 1s to try her for the murder of her hus- band on Noy. 3 last. Mra. Lupo is a woman of more than Prepossessing appearance, slender, and slightly above the medium height. She shows no effect of her confinement in the Tombs, Assistant District-Attorney Ely, wha is conducting the prosecution, was ex- tremely bitter in his opening charge to the jury. He told of how Asbury Mor- ris Lupo, the husband, was shot to death in his home, No. 270 West Fourth street, in November. Four bullet wounds, were found in t any one of which would have been fatal. Shot in the Baek. One shot in particular was referred to| 1 by Mr. Efy, that in the back near the right shoulder, ‘This, he claimed, was sufficient proof that Mrs, Lupo had fired upon her husband from behind. It was Jealousy that prompted Mrs. Lupo to commit the crime, maintained the prosecution—jgalovsy that was unfound- ed. By her resentment of her husband's actions she caused him to lose his posl- tion as salesman for a sewing machine company. Throughout this severe arraignment the defendant sat unmoved by the side of her counsel, Charles Le Barbier. The only sign of interest in the recital of the crime that brought her into court was a slight pressure of the lips and an oceastonal glance at the jury ani Justice Kenefick, a young judge of But- falo. Woman Tried Suicide, Mr. Ely carefully went over the de- tails of the crime and the events lead- ing up to it. He told of Mra, Lupo's purchase of laudanum, with which she later tried to Kill herself, After her husband's death, Mr. Ely asserted, she came out of her room and said to Mrs. McWilliams, the landlady: “My husband {s dead and I have taken poison. I am afraid they will accuse me of the crime. I could not live under the suspense and i prefer to die.” ‘When Mrs. McWilliams suggested that the police be notified Mra, Lupo sald: “No, no. Not yet.” ‘These and other incidents tending to fasten the crime on Mrs. Lupo were told to the jury before John B, Ireland, garrison the forts which are being vacated by the Russians.

She buried her face in her handkerchief and qutetly wept. She quickly controlled herself. On cross-examination Mr, Le Barbier endeavored te show that the bullet wounds could have been self-inflicted.
