TWO MORE FIRE ALARMS.
Night of DiscomfOrt for Flrenen
Soldiers and Police.

Night of Discomfort for Fircmen
Soldiers and Police.
Baltimore, Feb. 10.-The night was
marked by two more alarms of fire, the
fall of number of walls and condi-
tions of extreme discomfort for the SOL
diers and policemen on guard, the tenn
,perature dropping about ten degrees
and a keen wind blowing throughout
the night The weather conditions, it
is thought, were responsible for the
falling walls, the racking effect of the
cold upon the heated bricks and NOR
tar aiding the wind in bringing down
several Of the, ruins. The fremen
were called out during the night by
q blaze originating in the engine room
OF the lumber yard Of VIM. D.. Gill
& Son, not far from the burned lum-
ber district. Three companies and q
fire boat responded and extinguished
the fire after 1t had done $500 dam
age. Later. an unimportant blaze in
the residence district again called out
the oyerworked dremen.

Russian Papers Say Wait TIL We

St. Petersburg Feb. 1O.-The news
papers in general denounce the action
of Japan as being treachery, declaring
that it is truly Asiatic," but insist
ing that the issue of the conflict will
not be decided by the naval engage
ments, as the japanese will have to
meet Russia on dry land, when the
score will be wiped out.
The Novoe Vremya says it is quite
possible that the whole of Croea has
been overrun by Japanese soldiers in
disguise, and that Russia may first
have to assume the defensive. but when
her forces in southern Manchuria and
Corea are increased the Japanese will
realized what they have to meet.
God, right and international law
are on our side." the Russ says.
"One hundred and thirty million
Russian hearts are beating in unison
in the desire to expunge the traitorous
slight on Russian honor. Enough of
defensive tactics; let us drive out the
foe."

St. Petersburg, Feb. 1O.-The Official
Messenger contains the following "su-
preme manifest"
by the grace of God we, Nicholas

I'm our solicitude for the mainte-
nance of peace, which is dear to our
heart, We made every exertiOn to con-
solidate tranquility in the far east In
these peaceful aims we signified as
sent to the proposals of the japanese
government to revise agreements re-
the two governments. However, the
negotiations begun upon this subject
were not brought to a conclusion, and
Japan, without awaiting the receipt
of the last responsive appeals of our
government, declared the negotiations
broken off and diplomatic relations
with Russia dissolved
"Withou advising us of the fact that
the breach of such relations would in
itself mean an opening of warlike op-
erations, the Japanese government
gave orders to it's torpedo boats to
suddenly attack our squadron stand
ing in the outer harbor of the fortress
of Port Arthur. Upon receiving re-
ports of the viceroy in the far east
about this, we immeditely commanded
him to answer the japanese challenge
with armed force. -.
Making known this, our decision,
we, with unshaken faith of the Al
mighty, and with firm expectation
Of and reliance upon the unanimous
willingness Of all our loyal subjects
to stand with us in defense Of the

THE ONLY TOPIC IN BERLIN.

Deductions Drawn From the Jap.
anese-Ru.slnn En3axements.
Berlin, Feb. 1O.-Naval men are do
ing little else at the admiralty than
talking about the Japanese-RussiaD
engagements and the deductions to be
drawn therefrom. One conviction was
that Japan had acquired such a su
periority that her command Of the sea
practically results.
One OF Jupan's Objects.
The unwillingness If the Russian
feet at Port Arthur to leave the pro-
lection of the shore batteries enables
Japan, in the opinion of naval experts
here, to conduct her landing opera
tions unmolcsted. 1t is believed Port
Arthur will be invested on the land
side as quickly as possible.
One of the objects of the japanese
in engaging the forts, il was further
pointed out, was doubtless to draw
on shore. That the Japanese ships
withdrew was not regarded as indicat-
ing losses.
A contrast is also made between the
condition of the Japanese and Rus
sian ships All the former have been
docked within six weeks, and every bit
of internal apparatus was in perfect
order and tuned up for action, while
some of the Russian vessels, it was
added, had not been Gocked for year.
Which Way Did They Go:
Which way did Japan's new cruisers.
the Nisshin and Kasuga, go after leav-
ing Singapore is one of the subjects
for specultion on the part of the Ger
man officers, the favorite view being
that they sailed westward, SO as to
lie in the course of the Russian troop
ships bound eastward, one and possibly
two of which were beyond Alden, sail
ing eastward. before hostilities began
Although the two new japanese
cruisers are far from being complete
ly equipped, they might be an even
match for the Russian armored cruiser
Dimitri Donskoi and her accompanying
torpedo boats.
The breaking of the Manchurian rail-
road at one Or two points far west of
Harbin, is expected as the Japanese
working in Manchuria are thoroughly
familiar with the topography and are
likely to have been prepared to act,
only waiting for the announcement
that the war had begun.
