LEAVES PORT ARTHUR AND

Contestants Each Suffer the Loss Of a

-Reported That the japanese
Have Captured Newchwang.

st. Petersburg, March 12.-Omcial re-
ports from Viceroy Alexieff to EN-
peror Nicholas show that a Japanese
torpedo boat and Russian destroyer
were sunk during a naval battle that
began Thursday night and ended yes
terday morning of 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 firing
and. it is believed, destroyed q jap
anese cruiser. On the ships which par
ticipated in the night attack one OFF,
Ger was seriously and three others
slightly wounded, two soldiers were
killed, and 49, 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 flotilla was supported by the
cruiser squadron, the Russians made a
heroic dash for the foe ana apparently
had the better of the combat, sinking a
torpedo boat, until the cruisers got
within range and one of the latter's
shells crippled the Stereguschtchi.
More Attacks Expected.
London, March PA correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at Seoul de-
scribes these Japanese attacks on Port
Arthur as successful preparatory
commandments" thereby intimating
that greater attempt to reduce Port
Arthur is imminent.
Newchwang Reported Taken.
Tientsin, March Pit 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 Japanese force is within Is
miles of Newchwang.
The Situation.
Seoul, March 12.-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. The scene here
daily is one of well ordered chaos. The
harbor's edge is piled high with 200, 900
tons of stores, packs of equipment,
light guns; carriages, and bullet proof
shields for 5000 cavalry and pack
horses.
"Will Crush. japanese"
Paris, March PA 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

First Battle Of It's Kind.
Washington. March 12.-Naval ex-
perts say the battle between torpedo
boats of Port Arthur is the first of its
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.

BRITT AND CANS DECIDE
TO FIGHT AGAIN.

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. s.-Britt

the ring.
The Yosemite Club is already laying
its wires to match the lightweights for
a return fight next month. 1t was
supposed the club would try to bring
Britt ana the winner of the Nelson

be impossible, for If the Yosemite Club

later than Dec. 10. for after that time

the Hayes Valley Club, and Dec. 10,
to effect a match between the winner
and Britt. And, Furthermore. Cofroth
believes that the public Is DESTROYS OF

WALTER CAMP PICKS AN ALL
AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM
Stars of the Past Decade Whom He Thinks Are
Without Peers

In this year of football surprises and
unsettled and uncertain honors on the
gridiron Walter Camp, the greatest
authority on the American college
game, has picked an American team
from the greatest players of the past
fourteen Years.
Mr.. Camps task was difficult one.
To pick the eleven star men from hun
dreds of the best football players the
country has ever known looked al
most impossible. In making his Sc
lection Mr.. Camp did not go beyond
three colleges--Yale. Princeton and
Harvard-and only two men selected
were named less than twice for the
"Ail-American" team In their years at
the game.
Many football enthusiasts will not
agree with Camps pick for the Amer
lean team. Westerners particularly
will resent the omission OF ODea OF
wisconsin, for instance, and New
Workers will feel that Weeies or Nor
ley should have been on the list.
DAILY, the Harvard and West Point
star, is selected by Mr.. Camp for the
position OF quarterback. and there
every football crank will agree In the
selection.
with Dalv to run the team. Mr..
Camp has this TO say regarding the
quarter and other three backs:

Coach Stage of the Chicago Uni

Saturdays game with Texas:
While our team showed little bet

very much afraid of that defense.

But we got just what we wanted. 1
mean by this that we gave our men
an insight into football as it is played
in the North. 1t is impossible to make
the players believe down there that
there is anything slow about their
work.
They can compare their attack with
that of Chicago now and then will
know that they are too slow. The
weather was very much against us. 1t
was as cold to-day as 1t gets in the
middle of winter with us, and, of
course, this hindered the work of our
men considerably. never saw one Of

My impression is that the Western

Many look for a Yale victory owing
to the hard usage that Princeton has
suffered Mackey and Turner have
been worked in the tackles by the
Yale coaches a great deal the past
week, relieving Hogan and Bloomer.
Jim Rodgers, of the ~ team. and
Vance Mccormack, captain of the '92
team, spent the past week at Yale
with the team, and will remain dur
ing the coming week. Many of YaleS
old stars have fiocked to Yale field,
and a different story is likely to be
related, as compared with that which
was told after the Princeton-Yale
game last season.
If Princeton looks for victory Sat-
urday, her defense will have to be
materially strengthened. Dillon and
Cooney have suddenly developed a
weakness that came near costing
Princeton the Cornell game, and 1t is
for the purpose of improving this
part of the line, that some of the old
stars have been sent for. Roulon Mil

big improvement that the coaches are
