TO say that he was a genius in any
way, but he was a hard worker, and
whatever he did he did well. To say
that he was distinguished in mathe-

you are talking Of these japanese ca
diets. because they were all wonderful
mathematicians, but UTiu was an all
round student of fine ability. He gave

Lieutenant Commander Foyer, who
IS assistant superintendent of the
academy. also spoke very highly Of
Uriu. He was a very bright young
man. said the commander, "a model

the gymnasium or on the field for the
Americans save when il came to some
game peculiar TO their own country.
In the fencing school, however, Uriu
like the rest of them, was master.
It was perfectly marvellous TO see that
mite Uriu handling a sabre. You would
think 10 look at him that he could
not lift it. but he could do what he
liked with it. He simply had you be-

Uriu was q very close student, and
gave every satisfaction to his teach

the school Of gunnery, and learned
everything there was to be learned, and

Paris. Feb. Traditional details of
the Japanese attempt TO close the har-
Dor of Port Arthur have been received
from most authoritative quarters.
These say the Japanese sent five or six
old transport hulks. conveyed by cor
pedO boats. to Port Arthur with the
evident purpose OF sinking the hulks
a the entrance OF the harbOT. The bait
tleship Retvizan discovered their APP
proach and her fire on them was
strongly seconded by that of the shore
batteries north of Port Arthur. The
report adds that two japanese ships
were wrecked and lie in Tiger bay, that
along the shore another japanese ship
was burned and that a fourth lies
wrecked 0n the shore outside Tiger bay.
it is believed that these wrecks were
not WaTships, but hulks, designed 10
be sunk at the entrance of the haTbor.
The wrecks are said TO be at cOnsid-
cradle distance from the harbor en-
trance. which remains open.
This report gives no information con
corning the Japanese fleet which is
said to have supported the operations
against Port Arthur.
