Attack Will Be Made ns Soon as Ar
 rangements Are Complete.
 Chicago, May 20.--A special to The Daily News from Tokio says that Port Arthur is to be taken by storm the moment proper preparations have been completed. Siege guns have yet to be placed in position and the land forces appointed for the assault have to be strengthened. The unexpected less of two fine vessels has emphasized the insecurity of. sea power. and the authorities feel that no chances must be taken that would encourage Russia to send out the Baltic fleet counting on finding harbor of refuge in Port Arthur. .--', -
 It Is realized that the storming of the fortress will inevitably cost many lives, but Is said that the waters where the Japanese ships are forced to man. euver are becoming so dangerous be- cause of floating mines that heroic measures are imperative. Under these circumstances 1t is thought that life will be economized by storming the stronghold and eliminating 1t and the adjacent waters from the area of act ual conflict.

Arthur fhH@ Cnam8eus
 St. Petersburg, May 20.-So changed is the naval situation at Port Arthur by the Japanese disasters. naval officers say that the officials would not be sur prised should Rear Admiral wittsoeft as soon as his Tame ducks are repaired, make frequent trips to sea as the late Vice Admiral did. in order to harass the enemy's operations along the western coast of the Liao Tung peninsula. They assert that the latest advices show the channel to Port Arthur is free despite the Japanese claims to the contrary and they explain the sole reason why the Russian ships have heretofore not gone out is the tremendous superiority of Ad- miral Togo's fleet
 Second thoughts have caused the ad- miralty officials to discredit the report that the Japanese battelships Shikishima and Fuji have also been destroyed.

 An unofficial Russian authority says pitched battle was not fought, but rumor says there was considerable loss on both sides during the clashes with the Cossacks harrassing the Hanks Of the Japanese. This division presum- ably was executing a reconnaissance. The pursuit was checked when the main body of the Japanese was re- joined.
 This news apparently accounts for the withdrawal to an unknown destina- ton of war ships and transports from

NON-FlGHTING JAPANESE.
This Government Win Ask Russia to
 Treat Them Kindly.

Washington, Merch 19.-Russia will be asked by the United States to treat kindly the Japanese non-combatants who have been left in Siberia and to enable them to make their way back to Japan. Kogoro Takahira, the Jap anese minister, called at the state de- p2rtment today and informed the of ficials that he had received reports that between forty and fifty Japanese non-combatants were in a suffering condition in several Siberian towns.

THE DEWFYS ACQUITTED
The End of Kansas Most Sensational
 Murder Trial.

Norton, kas., March 19.-Chauncey Dewey and his two cowboys, Clyde Wilson and William j. Mcbride, were acquitted tonight of the charge of mur- der of Burchard Berry by a jury which had considered the case twenty-eight hours.
 Chauncey Dewey, a young millionaire ranchman, went to Cheyenne county. Kan, early in 1900, to manage the Dewey ranch. Soon after his arrival there he became involved in trouble with the Berry family, who were also prominent cattlemen. Trivial misun- derstandings grew into serious differ ences, which cuiminated in the killing of Eurchard Berry in June, 1903, at the home of Alpheus Berry during a fight in which Dewey and ten of his cow boys were pitted against all of the Berrys. Dewey and his cowboys went to the Berry ranch to get a tank he had bought at a sheriff's sale. The feud had grown bitter before this and when the Deweys started to take the tank the Berry boys rode up and a battle took place between the two fac tions. Burchard Berry and Alpheus Berry were killed.
 Eighteen ballots were taken before a verdict was reached. The seven Dewey cowboys, who came here to testify for

A Surprise in Progress
 For the Japanese
VLADIVOSTOK SQUADRON
Supposed to Be Now Not Far From Port Arthur-The Japanese also in That Vicinity-Russian Report of a Victorious Land Battle.

St Petersburg, March 19.-The whereabouts of the Vladivostok squadron is a profound official secret, but there are those here who believe that the Japanese may wake up some morning to find that the two divisions of Russias pacific squadron have eff fected a juncture.
 It is betraying no confidence to state that both the admiralty and Vice Ad- miral Makaroff before he left for the far east regarded the fact that the divisions were separated as most un- Fortunate for Russia's chances of sue cess at sea. Realizing that offensive naval operations are Impossible under present conditions, it is believed that no opportunities will be neglected to repair this initial misfortune, even should it involve considerable risk.
 Consequently the report that seven Russian warships were sighted the other day off Gensan creates much speculation here as to whether they could be the vessels of the cruiser d. vision under Captain Reitzenstein. The number of ships sighted apparent ly does not tally with that of the Vladivostok division. which properly consisted of four fast cruisers and the transport Lena. It is learned, how ever, that the outbreak Of hostilities found two ships of the volunteer cruiser fleet at Vladivostok, and there is reason to believe that these have since been fitted out with guns taken from the mountain batteries.
 It is therefore possible that the ships sighted were those of Captain Reiczen- stein, whose object, if he ventured so far down the coast, could hardly be anything except to slip into Port Ar thur. If this is true, it is calculated that the squadron must have already run the gauntlet of the Korean Strait and must be very close to port.

Paris. March 19.-The 9o7es caustic criticism of the French policy sz the course of his address to the cardinals yesterday is receiving serious asssstssa in the highest quarters here
 It has been regarGsd as saartssglF important to call for an ofacili TseaFL which is TOW in possession Of ;a.s ss- thorities. It was at first tsouzAg ta.s unofficial report of the -poee's zttc7- ances might be overstated b-t th= ofl- cial version fully bears out the gravity of his remarks.
 They related chiefly to past aaI prospective laws for the suppression : of teaching by religious orders. The pope characterized some or the ste.rs as contrary to liberty and civilization. and he also criticized the arraignmeut of three French cardinals before the council of state for writing letters to President Lcubet against a propcscd extension Of the law
 The remarks of the pope give ada tional certainty that Loubet win nos make a call at the vatican during hts coming visit to Rome. The plans lo- the trip include a military review in Rome. naval review at Naoles and "a number Of brilliant lesser funcgi1rs. but there is nc mention Of the vatican This is being compared with Emperor Williams attentions to the vatican authorities during his visit to Rome. and his shOwy call on Pope Leo escort ed by curassiers on May -22. ls93.

With Which Europe Will be Called Upon to Interfere
TIE TURKISHPROGRAMMF
For Putting Down Troubles in Armi- mia Will Begin Within Month Un- less the Sultan's Hand Is Stayed by Signatories of Berlin Treaty.

Paris, March 19.-It is the expecta- ton in official quarters that France and other signatories of the Berlin treaty w.ll unite in emphatic repre- out the sultan's plans for the suppress sion and probable extermination cf a considerable portion of the Armenians. The government is is possession of much information showing the nature of the troubles and Turkeys intentions in dealing with them. This information shows that some reports of the atroci- conservative view indicates the neces- sity of staying Turkeys hand within month, as the main programme for suppression is to commence about q month hence.
 The sultan's activity is not directed against the Armenians as whole, but against those of the secession district who are a turbulent mountain people. Turkey claims that the Armenian mourtaineeTs go across the border into Russia. where they arm and equip themselves and return to commit dep relations against the TuI kish soldiery.
 It is expected that the powers will ,act through their embassies at Con stantinople either jointly or on Com- mon lines, with the view of preventing the execution of any widespread blood shed or the extermination of the Ar -cenians.

FLIGHT FROM TELLURIDE.
Tko Daily Deportation of Union Min
 CTS.

Denver. Colo, March 19.-A special to the News from Telluride says it now appears to be the intention to have the remaining striking miners leave town if they persist in refusing to work. A few are notified each day that it is advisable for them to leave. A number of strikers are leaving each day and if the exodus continues a few days none will be left. Among the five or six who left this morning were J. V. Elliott and Wesley Washburn, two men who were arrested at the Tom Boy mine yesterday, charged with threatening tc disturb the peace and 10 injure the Tom Boy company by destroying it's buildings. It is under stood that they preferred leaving town to standing trial and were given tle opportunity.
 None of the deported men have re- turned and it would be dangerous in the extreme fer them to do so while 2 large number of citizens are in their present state of mind.
