 New Orleans, Feb. 9.-Cardinal Gibbons arrived here today and is the guest of his brother. John T. Gibbons. He was greatly affected by the details of the ter rible disaster which has overwhelmed his Episcopal city of Baltimore.
 The Cardinal left Baltimore on his Southern trip, which had been planned several months ago. just after the fire had commc need, and before 1t lad assum- ed alarming proportions. During the d-- ternoon he received a large number of telegrams of coincidence from distia- guished prelates and friends from all sec- tlons Of the country and has given ous the following expressions:
 T beg to offer my sincere thanks to the many citizens of the United States for the expression of their condolence wired to me from various parts of our country The sympathy of the citizens of the United States in our uneXampled aiilic- tion is a source of great comfort to the people of Baltimore and manifestly shows that we are bound to one another not only by the ties of commerce. but Sill more so by the bonds of fraternal love
 ''lt behooves us in this hour of our af- fiiction to bow with reverence to the mys- terious dspensation of divine Providence who loveth those whom He chastens and will make issue with the trial that We may be able to endure it.
 ''The Governor of Maryland has risen to the supreme occasion. and I enter tain the hope expressed by the Mayor of Baltimore that our beloved city will! speedily rise from it's ashes, and, stim - lated by the sympathy of our heloT7d citizens, We will make heroic efforts not only to reconstruct the burned section' but also to enlarge and beautify the mon- umental city which we all love so we'll

By Daring Attack, Three Russian Vessels are Torpedoed and the Plucky Japanese Escape

 tie Still On.

London, Feb. 1o.-In a dispatch from Che Foo dated February g. a corre- spondent of The Daily Express says:
 The Japanese have dealt the Russians A crushing blow at Port Arthur. An advance squadron of the Japanese fleet, under command of Vice Admiral Togo and comprising sixteen battleships and cruisers. with a numerous torpedo ffo- tilla. left the port of Shantung peninsula on Sunday immediately after the news of the diplomatic rupture became known. This information was conveyed to the Japanese Admiral by a destroyer dis patched from Tsuishma Saturday even ing.
 "The Japanese scouting cruisers had given accurate information of the p-e- carious situation of the Russian fleet out side Port Arthur. The squadron steamed slowly in battle formation Sunday mid day towards its goal and came within sight of Port Arthur under cover ot darkness.
 It cruised slowly outside without show ing lights. The Russians were lying in the roadstead, apparently feeling secure from attack. Nearly all the Japanese torpedo boats were dispatched on that dangerous and daring task.
 They rushed full steam on the enemy who were completely surprised. A great rattle of small arms greeted the boats

Not Sunk by Japan.

Not Sunk by Japan.
 St. Petersburg. Feb. 10.-Admiral Alex jeff, simplifying his first telegrams to the Czar on the torpedo boat action, now tele- graphs as follows:
 T most humbly report to your Imperial Majesty that the three injured vessels were not sunk nor were their boilers Or engines damaged. The Cxarvitch receiv- ed hole in her steering department and her rudder was damaged; the Retvizan was damaged in her pumping apparatus under the water line and the Pallada was injured amidships, not far from her en- zines.
 After the explosions the cruisers hast ened immediately to their assistance and in spite of the dark night, measures were taken to bring the damaged vessels to the harbor. We had no losses in off, cers. Two marines were killed, five were drowned and eight were wounded. The enemy's torpedo boats received a heavy fire. Two unexploded torpedoes were found after the attack"

CRUSHING BLOW DEALT BY LAPS AT PORT ARTHUR

which, however, escaped unhurt. and the Retvizan, the Czarevitch and the Palla- da were almost immediately torpedoed.
 The Japanese dashed along the entire line of the Russians, exposed by now to a terrible fire from machine guns and small arms from both the ships and the shore. There was te.c utmost consterna- tion among the Russians, which probably accounts for the Japanese torpedo boats escaping practically unscratched and re- joining the admiral outside. The admi> rars fleet, during the attack, kept out of range of the Russicn searchlights.
 Line of battle was then formed and the Japanese fleet moved in within a range of two and one-half miles and opened a fire on the Russian fleet. The booming of guns was heard far out to sea by the officers and crew of a Japanese ship which had arrived here. The battle is understood to be still raging and the Widest reports are current.
 The Chinese population of Ine Foo Is in frenzy of excitement at the reports that the Japanese whom they now re- gard as their friends, scored tne first victory.
