The Russians Are BewiIdered.

Newchwang, May 21.--A courier OF
the Associated Press who arrived here
at midnight reports the Japanese fleet
was sighted from Tower HILL 10 miles
north of kai Chou, on Monday. The
bombardment Of the coast covered a
distance of 25 miles Only Japanese
marines 1T was reported were landed.
The Japanese forces marched several
miles inland, destroyed four miles of
the railroad and other property cap
tured a Russian commlssary train and
returned with number of carts, ami
mails and native drivers. The Japanese
then re-embarked and sailed south
ward. 1t is believed the landing was
feint to cover movements elsewhere.
regiment of Russian infantry re-
turned here yesterday afternoon. 1t Is
reported batteries of artillery will reach
here today.
The Russians seem bewildered and
disheartened and unable to form last
Ing plans. Officers who left here after
bidding touching farewells to their
friends, returned a few hours later and
began directing work of building en-
trenchments mile south of here, but
this task was abandoned in few hours.
1t is believed here the Russian authors
ties at Mukden are responsible for this
vacillation.
Sailors are refittlng the Russian gun
boat Sivouch, which had been dis
illiHtleu anu ioaueu WITH WOOD ana oil
in order to destroy her, as we'll as two
small river boats in the mud dock.
Russian statements in regard to the
situation are absolutely unreliable.
Many Japanese spies are here or in
this neighborhood. One spy has been
executed. 1t is believed he was an army
officer. A correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press made an attempt to
reach Kin Chou, but was topped by
Russian scouts and compelled to return
to New Chwang, but the guilds did not
show any disposition to do so. The
bandits continue capturing rich Chinese
and holding them captives until ram
some are paid. The victims make no
complaints fearing assassination.

How the alabama" Was Saved,


John Bassctt Moore in Harper's Maya
zine for May: 1t Is perhaps not generally
known that the Alabama, In spite of the
omission of the English customs authors
tives to seize her. might in the end have
been detained but for an act Of wifely de-
votion On the 22d and Gath of July, 1862
evidence directing nculpating the vessel
was communicated by the American lega-
ton In London to the British foreign Of
flee. On the 23d and 26th Of July the pa
pers were referred to the law offices of
the crown, and as the law officers had no
permanent office, were sent as usual to
the senior officer who was then Sir John
Dorney Harding. queens advocate, his
associates being Sir William Anterior, at
toruey general and Sir Rounded Palmer
afterward Lord Selborne solicitor general
Unfortunately, Sir John Harding had just
then fallen a victim to an acute mental
disorder, which proved to be fatal, but
which his wife. In the hope that 1t would
soon pass away, had kept a secret. Upon
the decision to be rendered by the law Of
ficers there hung perchance the issues of
peace and war and the fate Of nations;
but the papers lay unexamined at Sir
Johns residence, apparently, till the 2Sth
of July, when the foreign office growing
anxious at the delay, but ignorant of its
cause, took steps to recover them and
placed them in the hands Of Sir William
Atherton. On the evening of the same
day. Sir William. perceiving the gravity
of the situation which the papers disclosed,
called Sir Rounded Palmer into consulta-
ton upon them In the earl marshals room
in the house of lords. They at once agreed
that the vessel must be seized. An opin-
ion to that effect was delivered to Earl
Russell on the morning of the 29th of
July; but during the night OF the 2Sth the
Alabama left the docks in which she had
been lying. At 10 o'clock on the morning
of the 29th she put to sea. The order to
detain her reached Liverpool in the after
nn
