one Japanese, disguised as China
man, were arrested there while sig
mailing with lanterns to the Japanese
fleet. They had taken up different
positions, one being posted near some
warehouses in which were q large
quantity of stores. 1t is not known
what became of the prisoners.
Denial From st. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg,s March 16.-There is
no truth in the rumors that the Rus
SLAMS have abandoned Port Arthur.
Admiral Abaza, secretary of the COM
mission ON Far Eastern affairs, au-
thorizes the Associated Press to deny
the story. He says the situation at
Port Arthur is unchanged and that
nothing of Importance has occurred
there in the last twenty-four hours.
Japs After Neuchwang.
Chefu, March 16.-One seaman of a
newspaper dispatch boat which left
here month ago for Port Arthur has
made an adventurous trip around by
land. Having passed through the Rus
sian forces, he got on the Chinese i'm
perial railway at Neuchwang and
travelled on by the eastern shore. He
says that the one consuming terror of
the inhabitants of Port Arthur was
that of starvation. Food is growing
more and more scarce and the COM
monest necessaries are difficult to OBJ
tain. A suiien 0owncast spirit per-
vades the garrison. This was due to
ff,o Nff nolxc nd tfo
tainty of the future. The latest bonn
bardments have seriously injured the
fort.
News received at Neuchwang states
that the Russians are preparing to
fall back upon Mukden. There is a
constant fear at Neuchwang Of a
Japanese attack II the Japanese
plans are not changed they will as
sault Neuchwang and effect landing
of troops within ten days.
Shells Too Large.
Moscow, March 16. = 1t is learned
that the reason why Vladevostok
forts did not reply to the Smelling by
the Japanese vessels on March was
that the officials at St. Petersburg sup
piled them with shells too large for
the guns of the forts.
AS a result the fortresses were re-
duced to a state bordering on impo-
tence, and had the Japanese fighters
sailed into the harbor they could in
all probability taken the town with
out serious trouble.
Orders to rush ammunition of the
right caliber have been sent to ST.
Petersburg, and an investigation has
been started to ascertain who was re.
sponsible for the blunder.

SIGN or CROSS ON EACH VICTIM

Altoona, Pa, March 16.-In the de.
had been stabbed and left for dead,
detectives have clues to the most
dangerous Italian society they have
known. Thirty murders are ascrlbed
to the members of this band, all OF
them having been committed in this
and two adjoining counties. Twenty.
eight Italians in the railroad camp at
The building in which they died was
tlimsy one, with numerous doors and
windows, but none Of the men es-
capped. On several OF the charred
bodies stlletto wounds were found. 1t
is now believed the society executed
this wholesale crime, the members
driving back at the points of their
knives those who sought to
Escape From the Flames.
Ten of these murders have been
committed among the Italian laborers
working on railroad improvements.
Arrests have been made, and in every
case the prisoners furnished strong
alibis, and although the circumstantial
evidence in each case was almost
conclusive, no convictions could be
had. In every case the victim of the
society who died by the stiletto bore
the dread mark of the banda cross,
deep-carved on the forehead.
Recently detectives were called to
investigate the stabbing Of two Ital-
tans near this city. The victims were
brothers, and the elder was killed, but
the younger, a boy, is recovering.
When he first was aroused from the
stupor in which he found he whis-
pered:
1.-THE Avengers, the Avengers"
In the hospital while in delirium he
repeatedly cried out in fear, declaring
the avengers were pursuing him,
but when he became rational be reso.
lutely refused to talk.
In his rawlings, however, the boy d.
vulged enough to furnish the detec-
tives clues on which to work. They
have learned that TIE organization has
a large Sicilian membership and that
its qualifications extend all over the
country. The central directing body
is believed to be situated in New
York, or in one of the nearby cities in
New Jersey.
In each case in which the mysteri-
ous murders have been investigated
the suspected persons are believed to
have received secret support from the
society, being supplied with money
and plenty of witnesses to prove an
alibi Last week three Italians were
murdered in this county, and in each
case q cross was cut into the victims
skin.
