NO DIRECT NEWS

St Petersburg, June 25 (2:o6 D. m. )- The admiralty has no. direct news of the naval battle fought off Port Arthur June 23, but the announcement of the engagement evidently created no sur prise here, the authorities having been aware that the squadron Of Rear Ad- miraI Withoft, in command of the naval forces at Port Arthur was ready to put to sea at a moments notice. On Thursday the correspondent of the As- sOciated Press was informed, as an. nounced in these dispatches, that i'm, portant naval developments were an- ticipated. If an actual engagement. oc- cured the adnsiralty cannot believe that Admiral Togo got off practically scot free. Particular solicitude is ex- pressed to know whether the Russian battleship Peresviet was sunk by a mine as she was emerging from the harbor or by a projectile, as it is known that the Japanese have repeatedly tried to mine the entrance

CLOCKS STRUCK.
During Critical Time in School Exercise Boys
 to be Punished.

Greenwich, June 25.-Three high school boys were notified by Deputy Sheriff Ritch to-day to appear before the pricipal of the school, Archibald s. Knight, this evening, and avoid ar rest. The sheriff acted at the request Of the district school committee. It is supposed that an unexpected incident which happened during the graduation exercises of the high school Thursday night will be the subject of the princi- pals talk with the boys. While one of the girls was delivering an essay an alarm clock which had been concealed in the decorations of the proscenium arch slowly descended by a cord with it's bell ringing loudly, and later in lne exercises other alarms were heard from hidden clocks. The principal announced to the audience that the clocks were not on the program and that the per petrators of the prank would be pun ished. It was learned later that bhe clocks had been taken from the school building

BYRNE AFTER KELSEY.
Complicated Case Growing Out o1
 Mortaaaes and Liens.

Attorney M. J. Byrne has made himself plaintiff in a suit for fraud against Benjamin R. Kelsey, and claims $2OO damages. The story of the suit is to the effect that in August last Judge Peasley, as counsel for MT Kelsey, administrator upon the estate of the late Edward Scowill, entered suit against A. B. SimDns and his wife of SimonsviIIe for foreclosure On September 6, 1901, MT Eimons bor- rowed from MT Kelsey, As administra- tor, $500, giving him as security & first mortgage on property situated on Stony Hill, Middle and Althea streets. This is the property which was burned down some time ago and on which there is now some $500 worth of brick and stone. A cellar and lot on which stood a two-famiIy house pre- yious to the fire was also included in the mortgage. The suit brought by Judge Peasley was to foreclose that nortgage.
 A conference between Mir Simons and Judge Peasley hook place and it was agreed, it is said, that the suit should be withdrawn and MT SimOns should quit claim the property men tioned to MT Kelsey as administrator. Mir Simons' part of the agreement was carried out, and the deed was duly re corded. And MT Si1nons supposed that, was the end of his troubles with the law. But he was mistaken, for on January 4 MT Kelsey got judgment against MT Simons in the district court on the ground that the amount of land deeded to him as administrator was insufficient. The Judgment was for $1T2. Execution was thereupon issued and Sheriff Gillette, who was given the writ to serve, returned 1t unsRtis- fled.
 MT Simons had no counsel, it is claimed. all this time. He had re- centfy suffered great physical shock which, it is said. almost rendered him totally blind.
 On January 2o, to secure this judg ment of S172, Judge Peasley as coun sel for MT Kelsey had a Judgment lien recorded against four distinct pieces of property, the Simons homestead, which Is said to be worth $20,OOO; al threefamfay house. a lot forty feet square with a barn on 1t and another building containing stores and tene- ments. The total incunlbrance upon these pieces of property ds about $6.- GOO.
 Attorney Byrne purchased some of this property after the liens had been recorded against it, and it was while Investigating the records that he dis covered the records of chem. His case is ueturnable to sthe district court the first Tuesday in August and, be- sides fhe $20O asked. he also claims a release of the liens.
 The fraud, he alleges consists of MT Kelsey's not releasing the suits as he had agreed to in his consultation with Mir Eimons as claimed.

READY TO ATTACK
 WHEN LAPS STRUCK
Russian Vessels Were Completely Taken by Surprise One Battleship Sunk Russian Admiralty Has No News of the Naval Battle--NOt Surprised However, as it Has Been Looked For

few Russian officers who talk guard edly. say the rumors are untrue, but that General Kuropatkin intends to make a determined stand at KaichOu, where many mines have been laid ana trenches constructed.
 The field telegraph between Kaichou and New Chwang, which was hnlsneu Wednesday, was cut in three places last night and five miles of wire car ried away. It is supposed to have been the work of Chinese in the pay of the Japanese.
 This is regarded as evidence that the Russians cannot hope for the friend ship of the Manohurians.
 Large bands of robbers are giving the Russian outposts much trouble northeast of New Chwaug. The Japan csc, 1t is said, have supplied the roD- bers with 1000 modern rifles and muen ammunition.
 French correspondents from Mukden report that the Japanese up to last Monday had made no demonstrate near Liao Yang. These correspondents are now with the Russian forces south of here, but American and British cor respondents are not permitted to see the fighting.
 Vfceroy Alexieff has Issued procla. nation to the effect that all traffic on the Liao river south of Mukden must stop and that food stuffs must be de livered to the Russians. According to native reports the Russians are losing thousands of horses from glanders.
 Foreign military attaches, who wit messed the fighting at Feng Wang Cheng. declare that the Japanese artil- 1ery is superb and that the Japanese army is equal to the best of European troops.
 The order of the American postal de partment, issue dearly in May. to send mail for Manchuria to New York and thence through Europe, has caused un- easiness among firms and individuals with American business relations, as the Russian mail route is considered wholly unsafe. If the Japanese cut the line of communication south of Mulpden it would result in the stoppage of all American mail.
 There are 800 wounded at the Rus sian camp three miles east of New Chwang. A few surgeons and mem- bers of the Red Cross arrived this morning. Many more are needed. The local physicians are offering assistance, but the Russians decline to receive their aid.
