JAPS FIGHT THEIR WAY TOWARD PORT ARTHUR;
INN<ANCf1URIA THEY GUT DOWN 1000 RUSSIANS
PORT ARTHUR
IS BLOCKADED.
Vice Admiral Togo Succeeds in
Enveloping Fort From the
Seaward.

Toxic, May 27.-Noon.-vice Adj
miral Togo has now established a
complete blockade around the south
ern end Of the Liao-tung peninsula.
This completely envelopes Port Ar
thur from the seward and probably
marks the opening of the final invest
ment Of the town and its fortif1cations.
st. Petersburg, May ~, SIT p. M
The foreign office has dispatches
from both Chi-fu and Picking report
ing from Chinese sources a new bonn
bardment of Port Arthur, May 25. If
this be true it indicates that Vice Ad-
miral Togo used the guns of his ships
to make a diversion at Port Arthur
and pave the way for final assault on
the Russian positions around Kin
chau yesterday.
As this is a big holiday. the ami
versary of the emperor's coronation,
no expression could be obtained at the
war office upon to-day's dispatches
from Toxic, but If the japanese have
succeeded in crossing the neck, the
general impression in military circles
is that altho Kin-chau Is twenty-five
miles above Port Arthur the Russians
will be able to offer little resistance
until the enemy reached the perimeter
of the fortress.

HARD TIMES FELT
IN WALL STREET
Bankers and Brokers Dismiss
Hundreds Of Clerks and Re-
duce Salaries.
GENERAL kURokI,
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, May 27.-Wall street is
having such a period Of business de-
preston as it has not experienced in
several years, and one result Of it is
that hundreds Of clerks have been
dismissed in the last ten days or two
weeks.
Retrenchments have been made
turnout the Wall street district.
Among the big brokerage concerns
and banking-houses the depression
has been so pronounced that nearly
all Of them have found 1t necessary
to reduce the working force. One
OF the largest operators on the Stock
Exchange says that, on a conserva-
than 1900 clerks and other employees
had been dismissed by the brokerage
and bankfng-houses in the last two
weeks.
There are more than 1900 bank
ing and brokerage houses in Wall
street.. said the operator. when
you divide the business Of yesterday
among all this multitude Of interests,
it must be patent at a glance that
every day means an enormous loss
to the operators.
Among the reasons for the gen.
eral depression in Wall street trading,
perhaps the most potent grew out of
the enormous losses sustained by the
industrial group. The. blow that was
given to investors in steel alone was
sufficient to turn the public away
from Wall street for considerable
period. The public lost millions in
Steel common alone, and that has
made the people wary of all classes
Of stock"
The firm Of j. p. Morgan & Co. was
among the first to reduce it's working
force when the hard times hit the
street. Others followed suit in rapid
succession. The firm Of w. B. Frank
lin & Co. has sent notices to all their
clerks and stenogra piers, informing
them that they must either accept a
20 per cent cut in salary or take a
vacation without pay.

Berlin, May 27.-Details reached
here to-day Of a terrible anti-Semitic
riot at Chotin, northern Bessarabia,
Russia, which in many respects re-
sembled the Jewish massacre at Kish-
inef last year.
Reports state a mob Of 5000, COM
posed Of Russians, Armenians, Greeks,
priests, workmen, students, and even
children, suddenly attacked the Ghetto.
They demolished the interior of the
principal synagogue and desecrated
eighteen smaller prayer-houses. They
then forced an entrance into Jewish
shops and plundered the wares.
Finally the rioters stormed the
homes Of Israelites, smashing doors
and windows. The inmates were mall
treated with sticks, their clothes were
torn off and in some cases nude Jews
We're knouted and ducked In the river.
Women were subjected to the
coarsest indignities, while some
women spat in the faces Of rabies.
Over 100 were injured, while many
are destitute and homeless.
After long delay the authorities dis
patched mounted gendarmes to- the
place to quell the riot, and after a
stubborn fight the Ghetto was cleared.
AS they were driven off the rioters
shouted back threats that thep would
return and kill the Israelites. The
Jews are in panic stricken condition.
Fearing a renewal of the attack, come

A delegate to the German Jew as

vestigate the reports and administer
relief where needed.

st. Petersburg, May In the entour-
age of the car a struggle is In prog
ress as intense as that which is under
way in the far east, and probably
more bitter. The combatants are
the men who, before the war, made
a determined effort to preserve peace,
and the men whose policy, being inn
posed upon the emperor, precipltated
Japanese action.
It is a game Of see-saw in Russia
first you are out and then you are in.
The arbiter is not a whole people, but
a single man, who enjoys the title and
dignity of emperor. It is his act
which makes you, his act which I'M
does you. He, therefore, is the target
at which everyone aims his arguments
and his fattery. If he adopt your
will be the man Of the moment; your
enemies can be relegated to unofficial
dom, and that usually means obscur-
ity. But when your enemies triumph
then you may expect the punishment
that you meted out to them.
am giving this little homily on
Russian politics because it enables
better understanding of the various
moves that have been made and are
seeking to control-under the car, of
course-the government. The men
who brought on the war are to-day in
disfavor. Bezobrazoff, the friend of
the Grandduke Constantine, and one
Of the chief instigators Of the for
ward policy, is in practical exile at
Cannes. Vice Admiral Alexieff, the
viceroy of the czar's far eastern pos
sessions, is figurehead that any day
may be cut down. The grand commit
tee, formed to advise the emperor
on the conduct of affairs in eastern ST.
IBERIA and Manchuria, discharges
merely perfunctory duties.
Where are the men of peace? De
Witte, who was shelved as president
of the council of the empire, is to-day
the strongest man, outside Of those
holding official executive positions, In
the empire. Lamsdorff, the able min
lister of foreign affairs, has retained
his office, and UNNECESSARILY Increased
his influence with the czar. Kuropat-
kin is in independent command of the
armies of the car in Manchuria.

DOMINICANS! WAGE
ACTUAL WARFARE
Government Troops Defeated in a
Serious Battle-War Minis
ter Killed.

Cape Haytien, May GA serious
battle was fought between Dominican
troops and revolutionists at Esperan-
"a, on the road from Monte Cristi to
Santiago, near Mao. The revolution
lists were victorious and captured all
the government ammunition and sup
plies.
General Raoul Cabrera, minister of
war, who commanded the govern
ment troops, was killed and his body
was taken to Navarette. The revolu-
tionists are before Navarette, where
another battle will pro badly be fought.
The government troops are waiting
for reinforcements.
After being informed Of the defeat
of the government troops, Generals
Money Cepin and Mauricio Jiminez
left Monte Cristi, the headquarters Of
the revolutionists, and marched on
Dajabon with the intention Of dis
lodging from there General Epifano
Rodriguez, the government COM
mander at that place.
The United States cruiser Detroit
and the gunboat Newport are off
Monte Cristi.
General Guayubin has been ap-
pointed Dominican minister of war
in succession to General Rarul Ca
brera, and will leave Santiago de les
Cabelleros shortly at the head Of 500
fresh troops.
Washington, May 27.-The state
department is greatly disappointed at
the revival of the revolutionary dis
turbances in San Domingo.
It had reason to believe from Min
lister PowelIs last advices that the
Morales government had succeeded in
establishing firm hold and that the
revolution had burnt out.
It is said there will be no change In
the policy which our government has
pursued in treating with San Domingo.
There will be no intervention, but
only a careful watch over American
interests and the stationing in Donnini-
can waters Of a sufficient number of
American naval vessels to accomplish
this purpose.
