can get in this city from 81 to

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ORLEANS, Ind, Feb. 10.-The postoffice at
this place was entered this morning by
burglars and robbed of everything of value.
The safe was blown open and completely
wrecked. pieces of it being blown through
two walls and into a store adjoining. The
furniture directly in front of the safe
was badly damaged. The burglars secured
about s255 in money and s165 in stamps. The
denominations were from 13 cents to 81. Not
a penny or a postage stamp was LETT for the
office to do business with.
Two registered packages were taken. One
of these contained a check for $40 and was
thrown on the floor, where II was found. The
other contained a parcel OF tewelry, and
this too, was found in the debris.
The burglars effected an entrance by
breaking out the glass in the front door,
where the lock was easily turned. Besides
the money and stamps stolen, the damage
to the office fixtures was about $40. The
furniture was nearly new and was of mod
ern type. The explosion was heard by a
number of people, but no one thought of
burglars.
Bloodhounds were brought here from New
Albany and put on the trail. They fol-
lowed the trail 10 Mitchell, five miles north,
where it is thought they boarded train
and escaped. Postmaster Kimbley has wired
the police in towns and cities around to
look for the robbers.

TO BE OTERESTTMATED

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Peking corre-
spondent of the London Times ascribes the
habitual overestimation of the Russian
forces in the far East to the claim (aris-
ing on the Boxer troubles) put forward by

Peking) during the peace negotiations at
Peking in 1900 for an indemnity OF el7.900.-
600 on the ground that Russia had put 49,
600 men in the field. IL is now known, how
ever, that the real number Of these men
was under $4,000.
Continuing. the correspondent says an
American military officer who has just re-
turned to Peking from a trip through Man
churia. made for the purpose OF reporting
on the situation there, declares that all
the Russian officers he met in Manchuria
professed to believe that war would be
averted. While he was at Port Arthur,
on Jan. 81, the Russian feet was hurriedy
ordered to sea, but in getting out two ves-
sells stuck fast in the mud Of the shallow
basin and were compelled 10 remain be-
hind.

REJOICING At TOXIC
OYER NAVAL VICTORY

TOXIC, Feb. 10.-Undaunted by the alb
sence of official combinations. Japan is
rejoicing over great naval victory at Port
Arthur Early to-day came a cabled report
from the japanese consul at tChee-Foo. saying
that early Monday the japanese torpedo
boats destroyed three large Russian war
ships of Port Arthur. Thereafter Admiral
Togo's feet of sixteen warships engaged the
entire Russian feet remaining of the Port.
The consul was unable 10 give the result OF
the main engagement, but said when the
steamship Columbia passed the scene OF
action all of the Japanese warships were
preserving their alignment and fighting Wig
orously and steadily and apparently unin-
jured.
The newspapers here published extra edi-
tions containing news of the battle and
produced the first popular demonstration of
the war. Flags were raised everywhere and
excited crowds thronged the streets. Later
in the day came a cablegram from Paris
saying that Viceroy AleXieff had reported
to St. Petersburg that three ships had been
injured by torpedo attack.
The news was accepted in official cir
cles and transmitted TO the palace This,
combined with the bottling and destruc-
tion of two ships al Chemulpo on Tuesday,
stirred the populace TO the highest enthus-
asm and gave additional confidence as to
the outcome of the war. Up TO nightfall
the Navy Department had not received any
report from Admiral Togo or other direct
sources and was disinclined TO accept un-
official statement but was keenly anxious
to learn the details OF the result OF the
main engagement. although confident that
Admiral Togo scored a sweeping victory.
The department anticipates early advices.
If the Russian fleet is crippled or destroyed
il is anticipated that an order to advance
the army will be given promptly.
The Mikado is personally experimenting
affairs, and the Cabinet holds daily ses-
sions.
The government has issued orders for the
protection OF all Russian Subjects resid.au
in Japan.
Baron Kanako and Baron Sukematsu have
been sent to the United States and Great
Britain TO explain Japan's position and atti-
tude in the present conflict.

SENATOR HANNA'S WEAK

THE DOCTORS CONCERN

Patient Is Practically I'm

suit Fatally.
HIS HEART ACTION GOOD

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Han
mas condition remains practically un-
changed. The restlessness which fatigued
him last night has been followed by periods
of comparative quiet and sleep during the
day and the irritability of the stomach
has again partially yielded to treatment
The physicians say that no complications
have developed. 1t is this feature of the
case that the physicians are guarding
zealously against, as they believe that If
any complications develop in the senator's
distressingly weak condition the result may
be fatal quickly.
The doctors are not yet able to predict
with any certainty when the crisis in the
case will occur. All they know for certain
is that the senator now has had the fever
continuously for eleven days. and the dis
ease, they say, generally runs its course in
three or four weeks. The doctors say they
satisfied with the progress of the case
although they do not conceal their appre-
hension that unforeseen complications may
occur at any time.
Professor Osler, the Baltimore diagnosti-
cian made very thorough examination of
the senator during the afternoon and at its
conclusion remarked TO one of those at his
bedside that his hearts action was splendid
working well with the exception of the
stomach.
A new kind of nourishment was given to
the senator during the day in addition to the
milk diet and il is said that he retains most
of it. During the afternoon he slept about
three hours. He is always rational and
seems anxious to converse, although every
effort is made TO keep him as quiet as pos
sible. The senator's brother, III. Nj. Hanna,
who spent good part of the day in the
sick room. said tonight it was the best day

CUBAN LOAN TO AWAIT
BETTER MONEY MARKET
Eastern War, Baltimore Fire and
Other Causes Contribute to Pre-
vent Its Present FlOtation.
WILL BE ISSUED LATER

HAVANA, Feb 10--The Associated Press
is informed by person of undoubted au-
thori:y that the s35, 100000 Cuban loan will
not be floated until the monetary conditions
are more favorable than they are at the
present moment. President Palma and the
secretary of the treasury were practically
so informed at a conference held at the
palace this evening. at which were present
representatives of the National City Bank,
of New York, the Kuhn. Loeb & Co. syndi-
cate Speyer Bros. and other banking insti-
tutiOnS interested in the matter.
The fact that the loan : not to be fioated
al the present time Is not regarded as a
reflection on Cuba s or edit. but due solely
to the war situation in the far East, the
effect in Wall street growing out of the
Baltimore fire and other current causes.
When the situation becomes normal 1t is
expected the Cuban bonds will be sold with
out. difficulty.
