CAPTURE OF A FORT.

miles east of Golden Hill by assault
The fighting was not severe. TIT
japanese were able to remain in thu

used at Golden Hill was so poor tina
many shells fell short and othert
failed to explode.
The foregoing information was re
ceived from an intelligent Chinese
who left Port Arthur or Septembe,
IL. He had been a dockyard laborel
there for many years. He adds tina,
the Japanese are tunnelling under
the Russian forts with the intention;
of blowing them up. He says that the
work of tunnelling is slow and ardu
Gus and will probably be unsuccessfui
The Russians have placed minel
under all the public buildings

could possibly be of use to the Jap

their destruction should the japanese
enter the city.

Viceroy Alexieff was hit by shell re

there is plenty of bread. The price

Another shell struck a destroyei
which was lying in dock undergoing
repairs, knocked it into kindling wooG
and killed seven sailors.
This shell came from the japanese
fleet which comes in closer than for.

in the dock yards and killed an Off

essential to the defense of Port Ar

which the Russians are unable to reply

The five 11-inch guns on Colder
Hill which were formerly pointed sea
ward have been re-arranged, three o
them now pointing landward.
The Chinese alleges that all of tn
guns except the ten and twelve

Hatred Engendered Spread
Against All Germans.

BERLIN, March 24.-The Deutsches Ko-
flee, printed an extra edition today contain
ing numerous official reports of the Herero
uprising in German Southwest Africa, con-
firming the Associated Press previous cable
dispatches regarding the causes Of the
trouble
Herr Duff, local magistrate of Wind
hook, reporting under date Of March g..
says:
$50 far as the causes are concerned I
them chiefly to the reckless methods Of
wandering traders in collecting debts in
Hereroland. This is proved by the state
ment of natives Immediately before the out
break and by whites intimately acquainted
with the circumstances. These traders pro-
ceeded with reckless injustice against their
customers, either taking their cattle in pay
ment of debts, at too low a valuation or
else seizing animals which did not belong
to the debtors. 1t is reported that traders
palmed themselves off among the HererOs
as government officials and threatened the
natives with punishme if their debts were
not paid
THE timid natives submitted without lodg-
ing complaints with the government. The
hatred against the traders thus gathered
force and was transferred to all Germans.
Chief Judge Richter of Windhoek, Ger
man Southwest Africa, who was acting gov
ernor during Governor Leutwein's absence,
while queling the bondelswart uprising,
also expresses the opinion that the Herero
rebellion Is due Ito the violent actions OF

ton. his motives might be misconstrued.

backed by the powerful National Live Stock
Association, mean to carry out their project
of establishing an Independent packing
plant to fight the so-called beef trust. This

taken upon the packing plant of Jacob

in the hands Of Vice President l.. F. Will
son and Treasurer F. W. Flato of the or
ganization.
All the papers incident thereto are also
In the possession of officers who are care

view of formal acceptance at an early
date by the organization, according to Sec
retary Charles F. Martin Of the associa-
ton, just returned from the east.
The option carries with it lease for ten
years on the property. The Dold packing
house has been one of the strongest COM
petitors OF the trust. Its capacity Is suf1-
cient to kill 1900 head of cattle, 1900 hogs
and as many sheep daily. According to

answer the business of the stockmen, who
are pushing the project to a successful end.
