japanese Suffer Severe RepulSe at
Port Arthur.

Mukden, Nov. 26.-The Japanese
made fresh attack on Poutiloff hill
the night of November %. The ad-
vancing ranks were decimated by the
Russian shell fire. Some of the Japan
ese secured lodgment on the slopes OF
the hill, but were driven out at the
point of the bayonet, when the whole
Japanese contingent fed. A similar
attempt was made the same night south
of Erdagzou, which was also repulsed
With bayonet charge. The Japanese
lost heavily, while the Russian loss
was 80 killed. A band of 1900 Chi
nese bandits, with six guns, under Jap
anese officers, coming from the direc-
tion of the Liao river, was in conflict
with three sotnIas of border scouts near
Kaiuan early on the morning of No
vember %. The scouts charged with
out giving the bandits battery time to
come into action. The bandits made
feeble resistance and fled in all direc-
tions, leaving 200 of their number
dead The Russian loss was trihing.
A Japanese column of two companies
attempted to penetrate the Russian
east flank on November %, but they
were met by two separate divisions of
Russian cavalry and driven off with
severe loss.

STARVATION is NEAR.
SassunS Population of Turkey Is in
Terrible Condition.

Washington, Nov. %. - story of
sickness, hunger and starvation has
come to the state department from Mr..
Norton, the American consul at Har-
poot, in a report upon the condition of
the Sassun population in Mush district.
The consul says that of the 10000 sur
vivors of the recent massacre, few have
saved anything but their lives. Nearly
every house in the region was ransacked
and burned.
Extracts from the report were made
public at the state department today in
the hope that the sad story may bring
relief to the unfortunate Sassuns.
"Worst of all" Mr.. Norton says,
@'their fiocks and herds, practically the
only source of food, raiment and in
come, were swept away.
"rhese unfortunates, after receiving
fol short time an allowance from the
government of cent per capita per day
foi subsistence, are now without food
and without prospect of food for the
coming winter. The diseases usually
following upon fright, exposure, ex-
haustion and insufficient food are rap
idly becoming epidemic.

Canea, Island of Crete, Nov. 25. =
Additional details have become known
relative to the outrages committed by
the officers and men of the Baltic
squadron while the ships were in this
port. The athorities are evidently
anxious to assuage public feeling by
concealing much of what has been re-
ported to them, but some Of the worst
phases of the brawls have nevertheless
become public property. 1t appears
that number of officers, sodden with
drink, undfessed themselves in the
principal square and paraded in front
of the residences of several influential
citizens. Just at that time the mana
ger of foreign agency here, accom-
panied by his wife, was returning to
his home. On seeing the drunken
Russians, he attempted to evade them
by turning into a side street, but was
stopped. Several of the Russians then
insulted the woman in the most OBJ
scene manner imaginable. When the
husband rushed at the offenders he was
seized by several of them and beaten
almost into insensibility.
OtOTleS OI ulsSTdcoluI actS Oh tne nus
sians reached the authorities during
the night of the outrages. Efforts
were being made to prevent a 1ecur-
renee of the brawls, Tut the police were
entirely disregarded. The broken win
dows in several of the streets bear wit
ness to the work of the Russian sailors
who hurled stones at everything in
sight, causing considerable damage.
1t is positively known that many of
the sailors. and, according to current
rumors, some officers also, were left
behind by the Baltic vessels. Some
had deserted. some evidently lost their
way, others were too drunk to be able
to report, and quite number. it is be-
lieved, took particular pains to miss
the time for sailing.

WOULD MAKE WAR IMPOSSIBLE
Britain Believed to Favor Re-EnaCt-

Glasgow, Nov. 2S. - The Glasgow
Herald comments on the fact that the
mutual acceptance of :he Anglo Amer
lean treaty was announced on Novem-
her 9, but that it has not yet been
signed. The paper conjectures that the
delay may be due TO the inclination of
both governments to bring about a re-
enactment of the Olney- Pauncefote
treaty of 1897, there being unmistak-
able evidence that the advisabllity Of
such course is being considered
While the treaty of 1897 may not fit
present conditions in it's entirety, it
would be an easy matter, the paper
says, to change it accordingly, retain
ing, however, those provisions which
are largely in excess of the bonds Gre
ated between the United States and
other countries by the various treaties
now pending. IT this course were
taken, the Herald says, war between the
United States and Great Britain would
be almost an impossibility.

Prepared for Bad News.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.- There is a
lack of news from the front today. The
report that the Japanese are conoen-
trating their energies for desperate
assault on Port Arthur, in view of the
approach of the Baltic squadron, is
quite generally credited in oftiola- quar-
tiers. Such a move has been expected
to transpire as soon as the Japanese
learned that the squadron's trip was
a reality and no mere demonstration.
The authorities are prepared to hear
terrible reports OF the projected assault.
While not hazarding guess whether
the fortress can be carried, for the be-
siegers are utterly regaldle of life,
they are confident that General Stoessel
will be able to make such an attack
one of the costliest in history.
