ten miles from Dutch Harbor, Unalaska
The Rush sighted an open boat from which
frantic signals were made. The boat was
found to be manned by. a mate and four
men, including the superintendent of the
cannery company which owned the Nc
Lauren. The men when taken aboard
stated that while trying to work through
Unlmak pass in heavy gale the ship had
lost her rudder, and that all efforts to pre-
Ihe crew of the open boat had been to
Dutch Harbor for assistance, but no boats
were found to be willing to venture outside
In the storm, and after waiting three DAYS
the men set out, and finally sighted the
Rush.
On reaching the McLauren Capt. Kilgore
round she was dragging her anchor, and
was then within three-quarters of a mile
from the rocks. With great difficulty a line
was run to her, with which She was finally
towed into Dutch Harbor. 1t was found
that during lull in the storm 101 men of
the McLauren'S crew has. left the ship and
had landed in a cove several miles away
These were later brought off, with the ex-
ception of six men who had started over
land to Dutch Harbor, distance of twelve

FIRING AT PORT ARTHUR.

CHEFOO, September 24.-The steamer
Nlctorla, which arrived here this evening

TSINGTAU, German China, September
24-The German steamer Erica to which
the British collier transferred her cargo OF
Cardin coal, cleared for Victoria b. c.
yesterday. The chief engineer of the Erica
refused TO sail on the vessel, alleging that
she was going to attempt TO run the block
ade at Port Arthur.
Russians here say that several suppIv
ships have arrived at Port Arthur recently
with foodstuffs. ammunition and medicines
They further say that their advices from
Fort Arthur are to the effect that the Jap
aneSe attacks are becoming infreuuent and
less severe. They believe that the japanese
assaults Will soon cease and that the jap
ahese Will attempt 10 starve out the garri-
son.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 24-Al-
though no confirmation has been received at
TINS hour at either the war office or the
admiralty OF n report from Tsingtau that
chClera had broken out at Port Arthur IL
is admitted that possibly it is true owinp
to the terribly insanitary conditions around
the fortress, arising from the number of
deCaying corIses there. But until con6rma-
tior is received the Tsingtau telegram will
not be given out to the press in order to
avoid causing needless alarm among the
relatives of the brave defenders. The an
nCCncement none the less has caused the
deepest concern in naval and military
circles. II is hoped, however, that even il
the report is true the outbreak will turn
out to be mild one and that il will be
quickly checked by rigid discipline and the
isolation of suspicious cases. Port Arthur
has been flee from cholera for several
years, tharks to constant precautions The
chief danger lies in the overorowded Chi
nese quarters. but II is believed that COM
paratively few natives are left at Port Ar
thur. II is pointed out that If the epidemic,
despite of all precautions, obtains a foot
hold IL is likely to affect the Japanese as
well as the Russians

MILITARY EXPERT VIEWS.
Russian Communications Regarded as
Threatened by the Japanese.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. September pa London
cable dispatch says. Military experts say
that all the evidence from the spot tends to
show that the Japanese and Russian armies
both equally realize that the latter Is no
match for the former. Mukden is a sin
gularly unfavorable position for the Rus
slams to fight a great battle. The most I'M
portant reason for this is that while the
Russian army is solely dependent for its
supplies on the railway. the Japanese have
both shorter railway and two rivers be-
hind them, while they have in addition for
the purposes of food supplies the Chinese
railway also. Both Japan and Russia freely
buy from the neutral powers. Taking their
chance of interruption. while Russia was in
possession of the country south of Mukden
as far as Niuchwang, the Russian army
freely supplied itself by purchases from
China without fear of Japan. Now Japan
Will similarly supply her armies, without
any chance of the Russian army interfering
Already the stress of starvation Is one of
the operative causes enforcing retreat from
Mukden on the Russian army There is no
danger of the Russian army severing the
japanese communications, but the prob
ability is great that the Russians may find
the japanese army between them and their
base at Harbin.
