Washington. Sept. 12.-Japan has
formally protested to the United states
against allowing the Russian auxiliary
cruiser Lena to remain in port longer
! than "A hours. Through her consul at
San Francisco, the complaint was filed
with the collector of the port, VINO,
late today, wired for Instructions.
Washington, Sept. 12.--The navy de-
pa rtmcnt. today. received dispatch
from Rear Admiral Goodrich, COM
mandant of the Pacific station ut Mare
Island, stating that the Russian trans
port Lena had arrived there and that
hcr commanding officer claimed that
his ships engines and boilers were IN
need Of repairs. Later in the day the
telegram will be referred to the state
department for action.
Sec. Morton has telegraphed Rear
Admiral Goodrich. commander-in-chief
of the Pacific station, directing him To
detain the Pacific squadron mt san
Francisco and to inquire of the COM
mandcr of the Lena what his intentions
are.
san Francisco. Sept. 12.-The state
mcnt that the Russian cruiser Lena
left Nladivostok 50 days ago. and ar
rived here with foul boilers. has ar
reused considerable speculation and
discussion. The average time of fair
ly fast steamer from thu. Russian port
to san Francisco is from 2S to 80 days
ana il is pointed out that the Lena
would not have been permitted to
leave Vladivostok in such condition
that n months voyage would virtually
dieabl" her.
Local shipping men incline to the be-
lief that the Lena has been out from
Vladiyostok longer than Il month ana
has been so long pHtrolling the high
seas in search of Japanese merchant
men and other vessels carrying contra
band. that she was forced to put in
here for renovation.
Another surmise is that the Lena

Port Arthur, May 6.The Japanese
displayed desperate courage in their
fireship attack on the night OF Tues.
day. z The ships, as they approached,
were divided into three groups, all
heading straight for the entrance of
the harbor. While still far from the
shore they ran on the Russian mines
and they were under murderousN Ere
from the Russian batteries. Three
torpedo boats followed the fireships to
pick up the crews Of the latter. When
the first ship foundered the crew clam
bored up the mast, cheering for the
emperor OF Japan as they went down.
From the masthead of the second yes
sci, as she began to sink, hergcrew
waved lanterns to indicate her course
to those astern. Their small boats,
though soon riddled, did not raise the
white flag. 5.,..:Sss LII. t...,1 !.
n A Japanese sailor, who came ashore
at Electric hill, when summoned to
surrender, sprang forward with a re-
vOlver in his hand and died fighting.
Another Japanese sailor. who was
pulled out of the water, tried to throt-
tie himself with his necktie. One Of
the Russian rowboats, which ap.
preached a sinking ship for the pur.
pose Of saving her crew, was met by
small arm fire. 80, a.. - IRE. 3.

cheng depends upon the location and
success of Japanese landings in Man

Descents or attempted landings are
now momentarily anticipated near
Newchwang and the head Of Korea
bay. Occupying an interior line and
pursuing the tactics of Napoleon Kuro-
patkin's problem will be to prevent q
juncture Of the enemy's forces. It is
necessary for him to await the devel-
opment of the Japanese plans and as
certain the direction, strength and
whence the other column will come
before deciding how to fight his ad-
versary in detail. 5f }$s3
It is believed here that the Japanese
plans for concerted action have been
embarrassed by their failure to block

All the Russian wounded have been
sent back toward Liaoyang in order
not to cucumber the operations of the
Russian army. It appears evident
that General Kuropatkin is preparing
to give battle to General Kuroki's
army If circumstances warrant. Pri-
vate reports are to the effect that the
fighting blood of the Russian soldiers
is W and that they are thirsting for
an opportunity to revenge the slaugh'
ter o. the Yalu, but, although the
commander-in-chief is greatly cha
grined at the miscarriage of his plans

he will act rashly on that account
