RUSSIANS ATTACK
Japanese FLEET
THE TORPEDO BOAT FLoTILLA
LEAVES PORT ARTHUR AND
FIRES ON ENEMY.
Contestants Each Suffer the Loss OF
Ship-More Attacks Are Expected
Reported That the japanese
Have Captured Newchwang.

st. Petersburg, March 12.-Official re-
ports from Viceroy Alexiefr to En-
peror Nicholas show that Japanese
torpedo boat and Russian destroyer
were sunk during naval battle that
began Thursday night and ended yes
terday morning off Port Arthur. FOL
lowing the battle at sea the whole
japanese squadron bombarded Port
Arthur, but failed to capture the port
The Russian forts answered the hiring
and, it is believed, destroyed a Jap
anese cruiser On the ships which par
ticipated in the night attack one OIL
Ger was seriously and three others
slightly wounded, two soldiers were
killed, and IS were wounded.
Odds Against Russians.
AS far as is known here this is the
first time torpedo boats have engaged
each other at sea. Although the odds
were against the Russians, as the Jap,
anese fiotilla was supported by the
cruiser squadron, the Russians made
heroic dash for the foe and apparently
had the better of the combat, sinking
torpedo boat, until the cruisers got
within range and one of the latter's
shells crippled the Stereguschtchi.
More Attacks Expected.
London, March ia correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at Seoul de-
scribes these japanese attacks on Port
Arthur as successful preparatory
commandments" thereby intimating
that a greater attempt to reduce Port
Arthur is imminent.
Newchwang Reported Taken.
Tientsin, March Fit is reported
that the Japanese have captured New
chwang. This is not generally consid-
cred as likely. 1t is believed, however.
that the japanese have really landed
in the Leaotong peninsula and cut off
Port Arthur from communications
with the north. 1t is further asserted
that a Japanese force is within rs
miles of Newchwang.
The Situation.
Seoul, March 1.-THE situation now
is this: The Japanese will have an
army of 10000 men in Korea within
three weeks, including $4,000 already
landed at Chemulpo:A The scene here
daily is one of we'll ordered chaos. The
harbor's edge is piled high with 100000
tons of stores, packs of equipment,
light guns, carriages, and bullet proof
shields for 5000 cavalry and pack
horses.
"Will Crush Japanese"
Paris, March ia correspondent tel
egraphing from St. Petersburg quotes
Gen. Kuropatkin as saying that Russia
would crush Japan by July, and that his
first act on reaching the far east will be
to recall the Russian troops from Korea.
He expects the Russian Baltic squad
ron to join the Pacific fleet by the end
of July, and he expects to use this COM
bined fleet during the month of August.
First Battle of Its Kind.
Washington, March 12-Naval ex-
perts say the battle between torpedo
boats off Port Arthur is the first of it's
kind in naval history. Great interest
was manifested at the Army and Navy
club by military strategists last night,
and the navy department will ask for
full particulars as soon as possible.

combatants to anything in the nature of
an injury or slight by outsiders. Too
often combatants make conflicting
neutrals, so that even when discharging
these duties and obligations with scrupu-
lous care it is difficult to avoid giving Of

unavoidable causes of offense, due to the
performance of national duty, there must
not be added any avoidable causes.
Friendly with All.
1T is always unfortunate to bring old
world antipathies and jealousies into
our life, or by speech or conduct to ex-
cite anger and resentment toward our
nation in friendly foreign lands. But
in a government emplaye, whose official
position makes him in some sense the
representative of the people, the mischief
of such action is greatly increased. A
strong and self-confident nation should
rights but of the susceptibilities of its
neighbors, and nowadays all of the
nations of the world are neighbors one
to the other. Courtesy, moderation, and
self-restraint should mark international,
no less than private, intercourse.
Cali the officials of the government
civil, military and naval-are expected
so to carry themselves both in act and
in deed as to give no cause for just Of
Tense to the people of any foreign and
friendly power, and with all mankind we
are now in friendship.

The most astonishing strength OF
the Russian army is in it's cavalry
branch. The agricultural department
at Washington estimates that in all
the world there are about $4,000, 900
horses. The Russian empire alone has
10000 900 horses, or nearly half of the
grand total. In the regular army OF
the car there are no less than half a
million horses, and this number in
time of war might be easily doubled.

Red-haired people are less subject
to badness than others. A doctor eX-
plains the matter thus: The hair OF
the red-haired is relatively thick, one
red hair being almost as thick as five
or three brown hairs. With 10000
red hairs the scalp is we'll matched,
whereas with the same number of fine
hairs one is comparatively bald. 1t
takes nearly 100000 fair and 100000
brown hairs to cover adequately an
ordinary head.

FACES FEDERAL CHARGE
Special to Review.

DOUGLAS. Sept. 2s-Sam Ma tions, the man charged with bigamy was brought to this city last night by Ranger Wheeler. This morning a charge. coming under the. Edmund's act, was sworn against him and a war rant issued to United States Deputy Marshal Foster by Commissioner Pirtle The warrant was served by the marshal and the case will be heard late this afternoon before the commissioner. The punishment for the crime against the federal law is much more severe than the penalty for the breaking of the territorial statutes. The officers are confident that they have a strong case against Nations as they hold evidence to the effect that he has a wife in Texas. The complaint is signed by Wm. Ras- COG. the father of the girl. who was duped by Nations. The affair is a very sad one as the Rascoe girl was only sixteen years of age at the time of her marriage to Nations. The case has caused considerable talk on the streets and the general feeling is that Nations has committed a very serious act in marrying Mrs. Roscoe while he had a living wife. no matter what his relations were with his le- gal wife
