usse The report reached Nagasaki
from Chefoo, and it adds that the Rus
sian crews of the four torpedo boats
have been transferred.
No other news of this attack has
been received in London, but the Che
foo correspondent of the Morning Post,
in a dispatch dated February %, says
the statement is current there that the
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers, in
the attack on Port Arthur on February
IA, sunk or damaged two Russian bat
tleships, in addition to the torpedo boat
already reported.
Viceroy Alexieff's retirement to Har-
bin is now an accomplished fact, and
correspondent of the Associated Press
cables that Port Arthur is now strictly
naval stronghold, and the forts are
being manned by naval gunners. Only
20 foreigners are now at Port Arthur,
and they are traders disposing of their
merchandise. Some of them are under
suspicion, and there is likelihood Of
their being arrested. There are many
complaints of unwarranted arrests, un-
explained expulsion and defamation Of
character by the Port Arthur police.
The report that large bodies of Co.'S
sacks and other troops are occupying
Newchwang and Hsin-M -Ming-Tin are
unfOunded.
According to the Eagasaki cores
pondent Of the Daily Telegraph. the

Panic at Ping Yang Caused BY Ap-
proach of Opposing Armies.
London, Feb. 24.-Cabling from Che
foo on February %, a correspondent of
the Morning Post says 10000 more
Japanese troops have landed at Che
mulpo, and that he has received con
firmation Of the report that some Japa-
nese have landed at Pigeon Bay, others
at Talienwan, and that an engagement
occurred the night of February 12.
The correspondent at Seoul of the
Daily Mail reports a panic at Ping
Yang, Korea, which is regarded as
heralding the approach of the Oppos-
ing armies.
In a dispatch from Toxic the cor
respondent of the Times says some
hundreds of CossaclIs reached Conju,
80 miles south of the Yalu river, the
afternoon of February 20. Thirty
troopers crossed the river at Kazan
the same evening, thus arriving within
45 miles of Ping Yang. Korea.
The report is confirmed, this cor
respondent continues. that 70 miles
of railroad track and some important
bridges have been destroyed between
Hardin and VladivOstOck.
If the latter report is true, it would
be a great advantage to the Japanese, !
as Vladivostock is known to be very
badly supplied, and it therefore could |
not long resist a Japanese attack. |
There is still however. no news Of
actual operations of any kind

China Refuses to Aid Russia.

Toxic Feb. 22.-Advices to the Japa-
nese government from Peking say that
while at Mukden, Viceroy Alexieff
asked the Chinese troops to aid in
guarding the railway, so as to prevent
the interruption Of traffic. The Chinese
refused the request, and asked for in
structions from Peking. The Chinese
government told them to inform Alex
len that as Russia had insisted that the
chinese We're unable to guard the rail-
way in time Of peace, surely Russia
could not expect them to guard it in
time of war.

entered the town and secuted through

Mother and Baby Brutality Killed at
Newcastle, Ind - Two Suspects
Tracked by B~Ioodhounds.

Newcastle, InI.--The fantastic play,
"At tie Telephone" Of a French dra-
matiSt was enacted ia real life in the
| atrocicus murda:- Of Mrs. William M.
Starbuck aud her tahy. Between her
struggles with her a$saiiants she made
two desperate efforts to call for help
by telephone. Fer murderer wrested
the receiver from l:cr grasp.
The nearest re;gh5or, a mile away.
whom she called III, plainly heard the
sounds Of violence and q woman's
shrek for mercy. Then followed a ST.
lence so intense that the ticking Of a
clock on the wall e the telephone
was distinctly audible.
Haley Gipe, accused of. the crime,
was arrested and is in the Henry
County Jail here. Tracks through the
corn fields were traced to near his
home. He is a covering. pitiable fig
ure between intervals of protesting
his innocence. Hundreds Of angry
farmers surrounded the Jail.
Before her death Mrs. Starbuck said,
as her husband lifted her in his arms,
He came in BY that window and
dragged me out that way" She was
sinking fast.
"Who did it?' asked her husband,
bending down to catch the faintest
gasp. She either did not hear Or did
not understand. why didn't they an
swer? Twice I tried to call by tele-
phone" were her last words.
In the presence Of the bodies Of his
wife and four-months-old daughter.
found and dragged from a nearby els
tern, the half-craZad husband and faith
er made a VOW Of vengeance. Twill
take no rest until the ones guilty Of
this awful crime have been punished"
he said, lifting his hands and then kiss
ing the faces OF his dead wife and
child.
The post mortem developed that Mrs.
Starbuck's death was due to- hemor-
&c Of the lungs. caused by her re-.
peated screams for help when she
stood to her armpits in the water in
the abandoned cistern where she was
thrown by her murderer. The baby
was drowned. It is supposed that, as
she was dragged from the window.
Mrs. Starbuck caught her baby in her
arms. as
One other man is suspected. He is
Frank Warner, q companion Of Gipe's,
who has also been in Ill for WHIPPING
his mother. He is suspected beca- je
Gipe says that he saw him on the night
Of the murder. The accepted theory b
that three men were concerned In the
crime, though Mrs. Starbuck spoke Of
but one.
When arrested Gipe turned pale and
trembled.
81 know nothing about that murder"
be said, before the Sheriff told him
his errand. He told conflicting stories.
When asked regarding the coIltradic-
tory character Of his stories he said
that he had gotten up in the night and
gone out. Before God. I am innocent
Of this crime" said Gipe, as be peered
through the bars of his cell.
The crime was committed between
8 and 10 o'clock i'll the night. The
strongest evidence against Gipe Is the
tracks that were found through the
cornfelds from the scene Of the crime
to a point near his home. Bloodhounds
followed the scent for a mile and 81
half from the cistern to O hitching
post. Neighbors say three men were
seen in a buggy there that night.
