Attacks TO Cover Other Designs.
CBv the Associated Press.)

London, Feb. 9th, (Saturday) Official
Russian and other dispatches show that
there has been succession of attacks or
demonstrations by the japanese at Port
Arthur, probably undertaken with the in
tention of covering or preparing for a Jap
anesc landing elsewhere, and possibly with
the hope of infiicting further damage on
the Russian warships and increasing the
decentralization of the Russian forces. 1t
would seem apparent that little damage
was infliced on either side, although the
dispatches leave the exact situation at
Port Arthur in some obscurity.
The reported landing Of Japanese at
Possiet Bay, near Vladivostock has not
yet been confirmed This movement, how
ever, is considered not improbable.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph has sent III interesting
news of Japan's military operations. He
asserts that Port Dalny is being eyacuat-
ed by the Russians, who boast that they
have mined the breakwater, WharVeS and
railroad sidings there in order to prevent
the Japanese from making use of these
facilities This correspondent repeats
that the Russians have only supplies for
five months at Port Arthur and says a
large number of japanese transports have
returned to Nagasaki, where they are
busily engaged in embarking more troops
to be taken to the vicinity OF Port Dalny.
over forty transports have lett Nagasakl
since February 10, and still larger en-
barkation has been proceeding from
Ujina, near Hiroshima, on the inland sea.
Ujina and not kioto, the correspondent
concludes, viii be the army and navy
headquarters during the war.
This correspondent has recently been in
Nagasaki and is probably well informed.
In any event, il Is taken for granted in
London that Admiral Togo's recent oper-
atoms have been devoted to facilitate Ja-
panese debarkation on the Lao Tung Gulf
or elsewhere.

at this time four of the enemy
cruisers detached themselves from the
squadron and proceeded to Pigeon Bay,
where they quickly fired on our torpedo
boats that were cruising there. They di-
rected also a strong cannonade against
the shore The commandant consequent
Nv sent troops to Pigeon Bay. The firing
there lasted for thirty minutes, but no
landing was made The Japanese cruisers
then departed Suitable measures have
heen taken to oppose possible effort on
the part of the enemy to creep up by sea.
Our losses this day were one man
wounded at the battery"

Euffalo, Feb. 26.-Henry l.. Schwartz
0. the law firm of Baker and Schwartz,
was shot in his office on the second floor
or the Marine Bank building ,oday by
+. A. Knowles, a well known business
IraI of Buffalo, who, ten minutes later
shot himself dead in the presence OF two
detectives. Schwartz died soon after
Wards IN the hospital.
Z he shooting is said to have been the
elimination OF business troubles. Mr..
Schwartz Was the attorney for the firm
of Knowles and Gardner which failed
some time ago. When the detectives ar.
rived they opened the door to the Off
GERS and faced Knowles with the revol-
yer IN his hand. Knowles pointed the
weapon at the detectives and backed
away into an inner room. AS he reached
the door and stepped inside, quick as a
fash he turned the weapon to his own
head and fired. He dropped and died
almost immediately. Schwartz was we'll
known and prominently connected.

State Department. There were present in
the diplomatic room only Secretary Hay.
M. Bunau-Varlla, Sidney Smith, Chef
OF the Diplomatic Bureau, and Eddie
Savoy, the veteran messenger OF the Sec
rotary. The protocols OF exchange slgned
yesterday. by the President were counter
signed today by Secretary Hay.
Several legal questions remain to be set
tied, among them the effect upon canal
payments OF the pending litigation IN
France begun by the Colombian govern
ment TO prevent the sale OF the canal
property to the United States But the
State Department has a conviction based
on unofficial assurance that the French
court will regret the Colombian SUIT.
The President may not send to the Sen
ate his appointments on the isthman
Canal Commission before the first OF next
week. He has been informed by tele-
graph that Benjamin NJ. Harrod, OF New
Orleans, has mailed to him statement
regarding the charges preferred against
Mr.. Harrod. Until he has received this
statement and given it consideration the
probability is that the official announce
ment OF the personnel OF the commission
will be withheld. Even in the absence OF
the statement. however, President Roose-
welt is fairly assured that the charges
made against Mr.. Harrod are not OF sui
ficient weight to warrant him IN with
drawing the tender made to him OF posi-
ton on the commission. 1t is believed
confidently that Mr.. HanOd will be the
seventh member of the body.

COUNT TRAPPED, ROBBED HER.
Divorce Case Showing How Girls

(By the Associated Press.)

st. Louis, Mo. Feb 26.-Judge Foster,
in the st. Louis Circuit court, today
granted a divorce to Countess Marie R.
f. Penaloza. from Count Henri De Penal
OLA. In her petition the Countess, who
is st. Louis heiress, charged that the
Count had spent her fortune and had
paid attention to other women.
In granting the decree, Judge Foster
commented on the action of the Count,
which he said was markedly similar to
that in most cases of international mar
riage. 1T is always the way he. said,
that these foreigners treat their Ameri-
can wives. Ambitious mothers and cult
waited daughters travelling abroad, are
constantly falling into such traps as these.
The courts are full of such cases. 1t
seems to me that mothers ought to wake
up sometime"
