Japan on account of Japan's treachery
in attacking their fleet. This procla-
nation is under six headings
The first warns the inhabitants that
they must prevent the encrcachment
Of Chinese on Russian territory
Second. Russian and Chinese inter
ests are declared to be identical; but,
as China says she wishes to maintain
neutrality, therefore all officials in
Manchuria. instead of hindering, must
assist the Russian army.
Third. The people shall continue
their occupations and shall treat the
Russian troops with confidence
Fourth. The railroad telegraphs are
left tc the protection of the people,
who will be held responsible in case
they are injured.
The fifth heading warns the people
not to obey the threats of the Chun
ChuS tDahdlts) VINO are the curse Gt
Manchuria. but to assist the troops to
exterminate them; if they don't assist
in this they also will be treated as rob,
bers.
Sixth. If the people antagonze the
troops or show them hatred. they will
be eXterminated without mercy. The
government is taking all steps, in any
event to protect its interests. The
proclamation makes an earnest appeal
for the sympathy of the people in the
present crisis. when it says, Russia
must put her back to the wall"

CONFLICTING REPORTS
As to the Sinking of Japanese Vessels
at Port Arthur.

ST Petersburg, Feb. 25.-Repcrts Of
a Russian victory at Port Arthur We're
current late yesterday afternoon and
early in the evening, and about mid
night they seemed to have been con-
firmed, but in the absence of an on
cial announcement the stories Of the
dimensions of this victory were most
conflicting and confusing in character.
The most circumstantial report was
that the Japanese had attempted to
bottle up Admiral Starks fleet in Port
Arthur by sinking stone-laden vessels
at the entrance of the harbor, employ
ing the tactics which were executed
by the late Admiral Sampson, U. S. NJ,
with the Merrimac at Santiago during
the Spanish war. According
to this account two Japanese ships ap-
peared off the harbor with fleet be-
hind them, and ostensibly in pursuit
The Russians, however, suspected a
ruse, and their ships steamed cut,
sank the stone laden vessels, engaged
and defeated the enemy and drove
them Off
The reports OF the loss, however, are
conflicting. All the stories Included
the feature of the vessels being load-
ed with stone, but according to some
versions the Japanese fleet was con-
voying transports with the purpose OF
effecting landing at Pigeon Bay, and,
after the failure of this preliminary
maneuver, the Russians played havoc
with both the Japanese transports and
warships, sinking four of the trans-
pcrts and two Of the warsh1ps,
One account even gives the name OF
the battleship Retvizan as the vesse!
which particularly distinguished her
self during the action by ramming and
sinking one of the Japanese battle
ships.

Japanese Legation Dscredits Repor

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Japanese
legation here discredits the reports OF
the sinking OF four Japanese warships
and two transports at Port Arthur. At
tention is called to the fact that both
of the reports emanate from Russian
sources, and, therefore. should be ac-
cepted with caution. Furthermore, the
reference to the participation of the
Revizan in the fighting and the report
ed sinking of transports are both re-
garded as casting suspicion upon the
story.
The Retvizan is said to be in a con-
diticn uniting her for battle for many
months While the presence of trans
ports at Port Arthur cannot be explain
ed, in view of the reported statements
that Japan did not intend to land
troops cn the Lao Tung peninsula at
this stage, and the transports could be
there for no ether reason. No official
advices have reached the legation re-
garding the matter.
