FIRE ON STRONGHOLD

ply-Five Person. Are Slain.

A fleet of five Japanese ba;tleshipS
and two cruisers appeared off Nladivos-
tok at 1:25 o'clock Sunday afte noon and
bombarded the town and shore batteries
for tifty-hve minutes.
The fleet approached from the direc
ton OF Askold island, at the eastern en-
trance to Usuri bay, about thirty-two
miles southeast of Vladivostok. Enter
ing Usuri bay the enemy formed in line
CT battle, out did not approach TO closer
range than a mile and one-third They
directed their fire against the shore bat
teries and the town, but no damage re-
suited, as most of the 200 lyddite shells
failed to burst The Russian batteries,
commanded by Gems. Neronetz and Arta-
monoff, did not reply, awaiting closer APP
proach of the enemy
The japanese fire ceased at 300 u. m,
and the enemy retired in the direction of
Askold island. simultaneously two tor
pedo boat destroyers appeared near AS
kold island and two more near Cape Mai
del The Japanese ships were covered
with ice
The attack resulted in no loss to the
Russians, but cost the enemy 100000

Of the projectiles were six and twelve
inch shells. The population of Vladivos-
tok was warned in the morning of the
presence on the horizon of hostile feet
and the prospect of attack during the
day, but it remained tranquil
First dispatches from Vladivostok to
st. Petersburg denied any losses to the
Russian forces from the japanese bonn
bardment. Later in the evening it was
admitted that perhaps a few Cinnamon
had been hit Later at night private dis
patches were received 10 the effect that
five Russians were killed, four sailors
and the wife of an engineer,
1t is apparent the Japanese were
afraid to risk exposing their ships to the
plunging fire of the land batteries and
it is considered probable that the attack
was really for the purpose of drawing
the fire of the Russian forts. compelling
the Russians to disclose the position and
caliber of their guns and also for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the Rus
sian squadron is in port.
II this was the object of the Japanese
it is believed to have failed signally, as
the batteries did not fire a shot, and if
the squadron is in port it could not be
seen from the Japanese position in the
bay of Usuri on account Of the high land
which rises from the coast on that side,
obstructing the view of the harbor.

Manchu Cavalry, Superior to the Cos-
sacks, to Join the Japanese.
The London Telegranh's Chez Foo spe-
cial says that the Russians have con-
structed a number of forts on both sides
of the Yalu The japanese have block
ed up several entrances TO the river with
torpedoes. Great confusion prevails at
Port Arthur. The Russians are show
ing the utmost dislike for English and
Americans and are causing all but few
to leave. Germans and Frenchmen are
allowed to remain. Here is the present
condition of affairs: Although Japan lost
a small cruiser and the machinery Of a
battleship was damaged and another
vessel was injured, the latter probably is
now repaired. When the rigor of win
ter moderates it is anticipated the Japs
will occupy territory near Dalny. In
the meantime the Japanese are making
an advance in strength along the Pekin
road from Seoul. Having secured the
Yalu they will threaten Kirin, cutting
the railway and menacing Vladivostok
while another force deals with the Lao
Tung peninsula.
Japan's first big land victory, which
is likely if she keeps troops i'll a rough
country where the Cossack cavalry is of
no value, will mean the unauthorized
rising of the Chinese, whose Manchurian
horsemen are drawer riders and fighters
than the Cossacks.

ENTIRE ARMY CALLED OUT.

czar Is.ues an Imperial Order Which
VIII Mobilize All Russia's Troops.
The Car has issued an imperial order
which practically calls out all the troops
Mt Russia's disposal and orders them to
prepare for immediate service in the
far East. The ukase caused much COM
ment in the capital city, not particularly
among army and navy officers, but it
swed civilians. 1t foreshadows a long
war and indicates that the government
is fully aware of the difficulty which
will attend the expected triumph of Rus
sian arms in the conflict with Japan.
Officially the order seemed an limo
cent one. 1t summoned the reserve sub
alterps and first-class reserve men Of
Fnronean Russia to the colors for six
weeks course of training. A similar
order was issued TO the naval reserves
On the face Of it this order does not
seem 10 mean much. But military men
and diplorlats know it means that every
thing Is being made ready for the mo-
Utilization of the entire Russian army.
The order was undoubtedly shock TO
civilian Russia. When the war started
II was fully believed that the victory
over Japan was matter of but few
weeks. As the days passed and news
of Russian victories did not materialize.
the public laid it simply to the SUPPOSE
ton that the Cars navy and troops
were waiting only until they felt that
thew could deliver crushing blow TO the
forces OF the Mikado. and thereby end
the war in a few months at the most.
But this order. opened the eyes even of
the civilians-the military contingent
Ind long realized that the war would be
a long and costly one
