Here.
The drought of eleven weeks dura-

ed heavily, if there was anything in
yesterdays weather outlook. And those
who profess to forecaste the situation
think long period of rain is promised
and it will be a relief in many respects.
Not since along about the middle OF
August has there been a good rain here
and this entire section is as dry as
political speech. The larger portion
of the cotton crop is gathered, and
rain will help rather than hurt the
farmers.

last evening. He left again this
morning presumably for San Fran

ed the doorbell when a Telegram

tell where her husband might be.
Barring the great strain of ex-
element under which the aged
mother Of the two suspects has been

piled calmly to the question wheth.

port that her two sons had manag'
ed to reach the sea coast and were
now on their way to the Orient a.
board the Magnolia. She denied
any such knowledge, and added:
Il can only hope that my boys

on me, and I feel as il I could

duty as their mother, which impell
me to be ready when they need my
help, and I will be ready"

PORT ARTHUR FALLEN
TEN THOUSAND MEN KILLED
IN THE BOMBARDMENT
OF THE CITY.
Siege Guns Burst Forth in Storm

Down Upon Crumbling Walls
Bottled Fleet at Bay.

Paris, May 16.-Port Arthur,
according to dispatches received
here from st. Petersburg, butwhich
as yet has heen given no actual con.
irmation, has fallen with the most
terrible casualty list chronicled in
any recent wars.
Ten thousand men are reported
to have been killed and injured.
The first report came here in a
bulletin this morning which con-
cluded by saying that the report
could be traced to no official source
in st. Petsrsburg and was therefore
to be accepted with reservation.
A second dispatch added that
great excitement was to be seen In
the Russian capital, but added that
still nothing beyond street reports
wers obtainable. Fl
This afternoon a special addition
of the newspaper La France was is
sued which prints ST. Petersburg
dispatch in full containing a reiter
alton Of the report that Port Arthur
has been overwhelmed by a terrifi,
onslaught OF Japanese who after /
fierce bomhardment of the fortress
with siege guns brought for tn
purpose, stormed the walls.
The telegram says that "afte,

works.
sit is estimated that no less thai
10000 men were killed, veritabl

Chefoo, May 14.-Early this
morning five japanese cruisers, a
batlleship and gunboat cleared
the channel and entered the harbor
at Dalny, where they began heavy
bombardment of the town.
1t is estimated that 10000 Japan
ese are investing the town, and
there is every reason to believe that
it yielded to an assault this after
noon.
Unverified rumo have been le-
ceived here this afternoon that an
assault has also been made on Port
Arthur, indicating general ad.
vance all along the line. Heavy
firing has been heard in the direc.
tion of Port Arthur and Dalny.
Shan Haikwan, May 14.-A re,
port was received today that ar
engagement tookH place arounc
Hsiuyen Thursday, and that tn,
| Russian loss was Loco killed ane
wounded. TheJapanese loss is un
known.
The Japanese, however, occupied
Hsiuyen, which shows that the,
must have gained a complete victo
ry. The Russians at Hsiuyen wer
] the pick OF the army in that region
and if an attack was made it is Ger
tain the battle must have been
fierce one. 1t is probable that th
japanese loss will prove no less thai
that of the Russians.
