REPORT LOOKED FOR
HOURLY
1t Is Believed News of an At
tack by Japs on Port
Arthur is DE- tldyed

Reports expected hourly from the
Orient VIII probably tell of the attack
on Port Arthur which the japanese
have been planning for some time. and
which, many authorities believe will
be decisive and effective. the turning
point of the war in Japan's favor. A
cablegram from Toxic says the Jap
anese fleet made another attack on
Port Arthur March IS. bombarded the
city and fought a furious engagement
with the Russian fleet outside the har-
Dor, destroying one Russian battle
ship. Seven Japanese casualties are
reported. There is no report OF the
condition of the Japanese fleet.
The navy department has not been
advised of this engagement, but evil
IDENTIFY expects news.
St. PETERSBURG reports that further
details in regard to Tuesdays attack
on Port Arthur are expected soon. but
nothing in the way of private or news
paper dispatches supplementing the
official accounts has been received up
TO the present time.
According TO the information here
there now exists a complete embargo
upon newspaper dispatches direct from
Port Arthur. The military authorities
seem to manifest no displeasure at
the Japanese tactics yesterday. On
the contrary, they declare that such
bombardments only wear out the guns
and machinery of the ships and waste
ammunition without compensating ad-
vantages. They point to the compare
lively insignificant damage done by
the bombardments of Santiago by the
American fleet as proof of their flu
tility. From the positions taken by the
Japanese, the latter could not see
either the town or the batteries. The
range was from six to eight miles
with a high angle of fire and precision
was impossible.
Although the general target was
large, only lucky chance could really
damage the batteries or ships. So far
as known the Japanese accomplished
nothing yesterday. On the other hand.
the Russians had better luck. a shell
from the battleship Retvizan. which
was firing over the hill. landing on one
of the japanese battleships.
A dispatch from Paris says the for
eign office has received details Of the
bombardment of Port Arthur March
2l-22. similar to the st. Petersburg of
fetal report. and also a mail report OF
the Chemulpo engagement detailing
the action OF the commanders and nom
participation Of the commander Of the
United States gunboat Vicksburg In
the protest against the attack on the
Variag and Korietz.

the proceedings will be devoid OF any
spectacular features. There will be
no public hearings, and publicity will
be avoided so far as possible. The
Investigation is being conducted
by Commissioner Garfield under the
direction of Secretary Cortelyou. be-
yond that fact. practically nothing Is
