PORT ARTHUR WEAKER.
Early Capture ETpected-Ying-
K0sc Strongly Fortified.

London, April 4.-Reports OF further skirmish-
ing between the Russians and japanese in the
Ealu River region are reaching London, but no
reliable details are given.
''The Daily Teieyraphs" Seoul correspondent
believes that The defences OF Port Arthur have
been SO weakened that the early capture Of the
port is TO be expected. There is little doubt, the
correspondent says. that only a narrow passage
is left, and that at the first favorable oppor-
tunity the japanese VIA block the channel. The
Russians have taken many 12-inch guns out Of
their ships 10 arm the old and new defences Of
Port Arthur.
The correspondent says he learns that in the
first attack on Port Arthur the greater part of
the japanese torpedo boat 7otilla mistakenly
followed two Russian destroyers which crossed
sheir path, and thus failed TO enter the harbor
70 complete the destruction Of the Russian feet
A correspondent Of The Morning Post a
Ying-Kow says that the position there is daily
becoming stronger. A fortnight ago the Japan
csc could have landed with comparative ease.
while now they would experience great difficulty.
The correspondent says he has received trust
worthy information that the concentration Of
troops along the railway has been so rapid that
IL is now Impossible for the japanese to carry
the war into Mauchuria with any hope Of sue
cess. anc thai the moSt they can do is TO isolate
Port Arthur ana possibly Niadivostoa.
The correspondent OF The Times at New
ChwenE under Yesterdays date says that the
Russian guu5oat S.voutch failed three times in
attempting 20 leave The dock. He says that the
British residents Of NoU-C'hWanE are satisfied
that the departure e ,he British warsh:p
l-srlecle wii be indefinitely delayed.

PREPARES TO SUE CASE
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL BEGIN
 ACTION TO RECOVER MONEY.
Suits Will Be Filed by State in City Court of Montgomery Against
 Bondsmen of Mobile

Attorney General Massey Wilson will, early in next week, enter suit against the Fidelity and Deposit Com pany of Maryland to recover the sum of $9,000 due the State by former Tax Collector John Case of Mobile County The company is the only surety upon the bond of MT. Case.
 The Attorney General is now en- gagged in the preparation of the papers in the suit. The report of Assistant Examiner G. F. Sedberry and the cor respondence in the case were yester- ray turned over to the Attorney Gen. eral by Auditor Thomas L. Sowe1l for such action as the Attorney General might deem proper. The Attorney General announced that he would im- mediately bring suit to recover the amount from Mir. Cases bondsmen The suit will be brought in the Mont- Eomery City Court before Judge A. D. Sayre.
 The shortage dates back to 1899. It will be recalled that in view of cer- tain reports MT. Sedberry twas sent to Mobile to examine MT. Cases books by the Governor. He found that MT Case had been given a double credit for errors and escapes of Mobile Coun- ty. He had been allowed a credit by the Board of Revenue of/that County and then he had been allowed the usual and customary credit by the Au- ditor. The errors reported from Mo- bile County were unusually large and with the interest added the Examiner reported that Mir. Case was due the State about 5000.
 No message as to the reported short age has been received at the capitol from MT. Case.

WATER FOR ENGINES

 THE RAILROADS.
Tank Cars are Taken Out of Montgom- cry With Freight Trains to Keep the Big Locomotives
 SupDlfed.

The lack of water along the Mont gomery and Mobile disision of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, is becoming very serious-Mobile and Montgomery officials are finding 1t a complex proposition to supply water for the freight train engines, and af- ter leaving the shops in North Mont gomery 1t is a kind of hand to mouth affair from here to Flomaton.
 At Pintlala Craak. twelve miles south of Montgomery, a temporary pump and tank has been built. and the big en- zines are now being supplied with water from the creek.-~That little stream, however, is getting low, and while such a thing as the creek dry ing up is improbable, there is always the possibility.
 To guard against any such condi- ton the Mobile and Montgomery off, cials are sending out big tank cars just behind and connected with every engine These tanks have a capacity of 10000 gallons of water. and as the average engine tender holds about 5000 gall Ions there Is water enough on a trip to feed the engine even If all other means fail.
 At Letohatchie large mill and gin- nery Is operated by W. R. Rogers. A big pond owned by the mill has been formerly supplied by the railroad tank. Now the railroad tank has quit busi- ness on account of the drought and the mill people have to import water.
 Montgomery cotton oil company IS supplying them with water, about s. 900 gallons being shipped out of Mont gomery every day.
