BOMBARDINC
PORT ARTHUR
Jap Shells Destroy Ships and Greatly
Damage Buildings.
AWFUL EFFECTS OF DYNAMITE

Washington, Dec. 15.-The Japanese
legation has received the following ca
blegram from Toxic:
Commander of naval artillery re-
ports that bombardment on the 18th
was principally aimed at arsenal and
torpedo depot at Tiger Tail and at
steamboats, in its vicinity. Torpedo de-
pot ablaze one hour Three ships were
destroyed and one sunk. besides build
ings greatly damaged. Indirect bonn
bardment upon Sevastopol. staying
outside harbor, was suspended owing
to bad weather, which prevented OBJ
servation. Togo reports torpedo boat
fotilla attacked twice Sevastopol on
the night OF the 18th and thrice on
the night of the 18th. The result is
uncertain. Each time they met en-
emy's fierce fire and one of our tor
pedo boats was disabled. but towed
back, while three received one shot
each. Our total casualties only three
men wounded"
The Sevastopol was the only battle
ship at Port Arthur to escape damage
by the japanese bombardment from
2O3-Metre Hill. Official japanese ad-
vices said tht she appeared to be lying
In the east harbor, that only the tops
of her masts were visible to the Japa-
nese gunners, and that her hull was
completely hidden by hill.
An unofficial report circulated at To-
kio said that on December 8 japanese
torpedo boat destroyers had attacked
the Sevastopol at the mouth of the
harbor. but that the result of the at
tack was unknown.
A dispatch from Toxic December
IL. conveying an official report. said
that the Sevastopol continued at an
Choir outside of the harbor. possibly
returning at night. Her anchorage, ac-
cording to the dispatch. was at that
time inside the outer boom. which pro-
tected her against torpedo attacks.
In this connection it may be inter-
esting to recall the fact that, accord
ing to the same dispatch. the where
abouts of the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers continued to be doubtful. and

Awful Effects Of Dynamite.

Before Port Arthur With the Third
Japanese Army, via Fusan, Dec. Is
The effect of the dynamite used as an
offensive weapon in the form of hand
grenades is instanced in an appalling
manner by the condition of the dead
bodies, which are torn and unrecog-
nizable masses of flesh and bones.
Fragments of hundreds of killed I'M
earthed from the filled-in Russian
horror. The heavy timbers and steel
plates of the bombproofs were torn to
splinters by shells and dynamite.
The work of removing the dead
from the slopes and crests of 203-Metre
Hill has been completed on the north
side. The south slopes are still COW
cred with bodies buried under the de-
bris of trenches and bombproofs. The
long lines of Japanese dead laid out
on the top of the hill and the slopes
previous to interment presented an
awful appearance. Most of the bodies
were partially naked and horribly torn
by dynamite bombs.
Every part of the city and harbor
OF Port Arthur is visible from 203-
Metre Hill. The streets of the city are
deserted, and but few soldiers are do
ing patrol duty. Many buildings have
been burned and others shattered The

in the case. He carefully dissected the
evidence bearing on each of the specifi-

that Judge Swayne had done well he
should be vindicated. but if he had
done iii he should be sent to trial
where his excuses and apologies may
or may not receive consideration" He
was followed by Messrs. Clayton. of

OIL LAKE BURNED.
Immense Fourth of July Blaze at Ian
der, Wyoming.

On July 4th the owners of the Muir
phy oil wells, near Lander. caused
large lake of oil to be fired. the oil
having increased in quantity until
there was danger Of it overfowing val
,uable meadow land and running the
hay crop. July 4th was selected as the
time for firing the oil, because 1t was
thought the blaze would form an ap-
propriate part of the Independence
Day celebration.
The oil burned rapidly and soon the
fire reached the proportions of a con-
rflagration. The flames shot into the
air a distance of over 100 feet and
great clouds Of dense black smoke
raised and floated away. The fire at
tracted widespread attention, being
seen by ranchmen and others from
great distances.
Before the deposit of oil on the lake
had been destroyed by the flames
lhigh wind sprung up and the fire was
communicated to another lake short
distance away. This oil was burned
also.
No other property was destroyed.
and the loss is absolutely nothing, for
the oil was valueless. as there is no
refinery on the ground nor means Of
transporting the product to the Casper
refinery.
The burning of the lakes of oil gave
rise to all sorts of sensational reports
which were sent throughout the coun-
try. One report had it that represent
atives of the Standard Oil interests.
fearing competition, had fired the res
ervoirs of oil, and other absurd stories
were circulated.
The lakes will fill with oil again, as
there is no way of taking care OF the
natural flow from the springs, and 1t is
expected that the product will be
burned again, as it was on July 4th.

A court lady conducted the Queen

confess that he was the reporter Of an

Philippine HOMES.
Many Interesting Facts Disclosed by
the Census Report

The revised figures OF the Philip
pine Census Bureau have been given
out. and a population of 7.635426 Is
given to the archipelago. OF this num-
ber 6,9S7 .6S6 are civilized, or partly SO,
while 647.740 are wild and unciviljzed.
although not without some knowledge
of the domestic arts.
In regard to the public land of tho
Philippine archipelago. the report
says:
Setting aside the intermediate
water space, amounting to 717,942
square miles, and considering the land
alone, the area is estimated to be u.s.
026 square miles. or 73618.640 acres.
OF this about 100000 are private
lands and over 61.0O0,000 public land.
OF tho latter. 100000 or moro are
forest lands. leaving about 100000
available for agriculture.
Much Of the land covered by for
ests is of great richness. and II
cleared would be capable of a very
high degree Of cultivation. This may
be said OF nearly all parts OF the Phil.
ippines In which the soil is especially
adapted to tropical agriculture, pro-
ducing all kinds OF tropical fruits and
vegetables and many OF those equal to
the temperate zone.
Under existing laws a homestead
OF 1884 acres may be acquired by any
citizen OF the Philippine islands, while
a corporation can acquire $3.50
acres. The grant or sale OF land is
conditioned on actual and continued
occupancy, improvement and cultiva-
ton OF the premises for period OF not
less than five years. during which time
the purchaser or grantor cannot alien
ate or cucumber the land or the title
thereto.
The Philippine islands offer many
Inducements to tho immigrant, and
for the investment OF capital, in either
large or small amounts. Although
within the tropics. the climate Is not
detrimental to those who are in good
health when they arrive and who take
reasonable care OF themselves after.

Rays From Sounding Bodies.

The so-called N-rays, the new form
of invisible light, discovered by Blond
lot, in France, is found to be given off
by bodies under strain, as in compress
sion of bending. Hence a vibratory
body, such as tuning fork or bell,
which is undergoing rapid alternating
strains, is a source of the rays, which
also emanate from the vibrating air
surrounding a sonorous body. The
rays are detected by their property of
increasing the brilliancy of phosphor-
escent substance. When the revolving
disk of siren is made slightly phos-
phorescent, it is seen to shine out
more strongly every time the instru-
-msnt is sounded-Success.
