used only the 12-inch guns. There were twenty-four 12-inch guns in the squad ron of six battleships, and each gun was fired five rounds, making 8 total of 120 huge projectiles that were fired at the city. The bombardment was deliberate and carefully planned. In order to aid in perfecting the firing, Vice Admiral Togo stationed the cruisers in a posi- tion due east of the entrance to the har- bor, and at a right angle to the battle ships. The cruisers observed the range and effect of the firing, and reported the results and suggestions by wireless tel egraphy. These observations and re- ports greatly aided the gunners in their efforts to make every shot count.
 Vice Admiral Togo was unable to def initely learn the results of the bombard- ment, but later reports indicate that much destruction was caused in the city, where a series of fires broke out There also was damage to batteries.
 Capt Shokiro Asai, commanding the
 1otilla of torpedo boat destroyers which engaged the Russian destroyers. is the hero of the attack. He had only three destroyers, but attacked the six Russian destroyers, ordering his craft to close in with the enemy. He steamed so close to the enemy's destroyers that they almost touched, and a most des- perate conflict ensued, from which the Russians retired badly disabled.
 Engineer MinamisaWa of the destroy CT Kasuni received a small wound. The engineer participated in the first tor pedo attack on Port Arthur, as well as in the attempt to bottle up the harbor by sinking commercial steamers. He was commended both times for gallan- try.
 The Japanese fotilla which sunk the mines at the mouth of the harbor later engaged two Russian destroyers. This fotilla was commanded by Commander Tsuchiya.
 Vice Admiral Togo's object in sending cruisers to Talien Wan bay was to en- compass the destruction of a signal sta- tion mine depot at Shamshantao, This object was achieved, and the buildings were demolished.
 Rear Admirals Dewa and Uriu partic- ipated in the operations under Vice Ad- miral Togo. The details of operations became known in Japan only to-day, and the news created intense enthusi- asn.
 Vice Admiral Togo's report came last night, but it was withheld until shown to the emperor.
 The admiral is permanently number ed among the heroes of the empire. The latest reports place the Japanese loss at nine killed, five seriously wound- ed and seventeen slightly hurt. The Ja- panese fleet was not seriously damaged in the fighting.

UNOFFICIAL sToRY OF FIGHT.
The Bombardmens Dsiiberatea aud Care
 fully Planned.

The Bonlbardment Deliberate aud Care
 fully Planned.
 Tokio, March 13-Oficial and private reports both indicate that Vice Admiral Togo's fourth attack on Port Arthur on the 10th inst. was the most effective since the first assault of a month ago., One Russian torpedo boat destroyer was sunk and several Russian torpedo boat destroyers seriously damaged. The fortifications and city were subjected to a heavy bolnbardment, lasting nearly four hours.
 Naval bombardments of land works have generally been ineffective, yet the peculiar typographical conditions of Port Arthur make immunity from seri- ous loss from bombardment almost inn possible.
 Vice Admiral Togo's torpedo fiotilla opened the action by boldly steaming in under the batteries and successfully placing a number of mechanical mines at the mouth of the harbor. Following that there was desperate bow to bow encounter between the torpedo boat de- stroyers, in which the Japanese appear to have scored a clear victory. Then followed long range duel between the cruisers, ending in the retirement of the Novik and Bayan, the only Rus sians engaged.
 The closing action was the lombard ment of the inner harbor by the Japan csc battleships TheAlatter took a po- sitfon southwest Of Port Arthur, and

INTER.CONTINENTAL LINE.
THE PROJECT RECEIVING MUCH
 ENCOURAGEMENT.
Hopeful Report of Charles M. Pepper. Appointed by President Roosevelt, to Aidin Furshering Pinns for the Road -Five speclnc causes W hich Have contrtbutsd to Advance Scheme.

Washington, March 1S.7-CharIes M. Pepper, appointed by President Roose- vent as commissioner to carry out the recommendations of the second interna- tfonal American conference held in Mexico two years ago with regard to the American railway, has sub mitted his report to the state depart ment, by which it will be transmitted to congress. The second conference created a permanent committee with headquar- ters in Washington. of which former Senator Davis of West Virginia is chairman and Andrew Carnegie is a member. The other members are the ambassador from Mexico and the minis ters from Peru and Guatemala. Com missioner Pepper spent a year in visit ing the various countries and his inqui- ries covered the general subject of trade opportunities that would result from railroad building as well as actual railway construction.
 The report says that the general pro- ject of an inter-continental line, which will ultimately place New York and Buenos Ayres in through railway com munication. is receiving much encour- agement. At the present time about 4,S00 miles are lacking and the estimat- ed cost of construction is placed at $150, ,000,O 1000. This is based on an average of 50 cents gold as daily wage for la bor with an efficiency of 75 per cent. as compared with similar labor in the United States.
 Commissioner Pepper gives five spe- ciGc causes which have contributed to advanced the inter-continental project as well as railway building in general. Some of the developments have taken place since the beginning of the present year. The encouraging causes as speci- fled in the report are:
 1-Progress at both ends as shown in simultaneous action by Mexico on the north and the Argentine Republic on the south to extend their railway lines, so that one will reach the border of Guatemala and the other will pass the frontier of Bolivia.
 2--The settlement of disputed bounda- ries and other questions which hereto for caused the countries to be indiffer- ent Of this such as the del1mltatIon of the boundary between Chile and the Ar genuine Republic and the treaty ratified by Brazil and Bolivia in February of this year for the settlement of the Acre rubber territory.
 3-The law passed by the Chilean congress for the tunnel through the Andes. which will enable the long de- eerred through railway connection be- tween Buenos Ayres and Valparaiso to
 be made.
 4-Legislation by several of the repub- lies with a view to offering greater in-
 ducements for foreign capital to engage in railway construction, and especially the law passed by the Peruvian con-
 gress few weeks ago, which establish Continued on Third Page.)
