JAPANESE OFFICERS
AND SAILORS REACH
CHEFU IN OPEN BOAT

CHEFU, Feb. 27.-Several japanese
officers and sailors who landed here
from an open boat early to-day re-
fused to give any information as to
where they came from. At the Japanese
consulate 1T was given out that they
belonged to a gunboat which was dam
aged during the fight off Port Arthur
and which sank trying to reach this
port.
The statement that they were. mem
bers of the crews of the merchant
steamships sunk near the entrance of
Port Arthur during the attempt to
blockade the channel and that they
were not picked up by the torpedo
boats was positively denied. They
crossed the gulf in the open boat in
which they arrived. The Consul
claimed that he had been expecting
the arrival of survivors of the action
off Port Arthur.

has been instructed by his Government
to lodge a protest with the president
Of the council of the permanent court
of arbitration against hte language
used by Muravieff, president Of the ar

of Justice, in a speech he made after
announcing the tribunals decision in
favor of the blockading powers as
against Venezuela.
1t is expected in diplomatic circles
that the only result of the japanese
protest will be that a copy of the COM
plant will be sent to the powers repre-
sented before the arbitra ton tribunal
Muravieff in the course of his re-
marks said the findings of the tribunal
had been reached after a most minute
and most impartial investigation. Like
all human acts, the decision was sus-
oeptibIe of criticism, but now that it
was made every one should accept it.
The arbitration, begun in times of
peace, had ended amid the sinister acts
of war, which was a terrible obstacle
in the path of light and progress. In

ALEXIEFF DETAILS THE FIGHTING AT PORT ARTHUR
GALLANTRY OF JAPANESE WHO EMULATED H0BS0N

TOXIC, Feb. 27.-The official report
of the naval officers who attempted to
block the entrance to the harbor of
Port Arthur on the morning of Febru-
ary "a differs in some respects from
the accounts already printed. From
this report it appears that the Russian
searchlights discovered the approach
of the five Japanese steamships before
they had reached the point where it
was proposed to sink them and that
the Russian guns disable three of the
five. Another new feature is that a
portion of the crews of the sunken
steamships were not picked up until
the afternoon of the gath. The report
of the officers in substance is as fol-
lows:
Five vessels intended to obstruct the
entrance to Port Arthur advanced
about o'clock on the morning of the
Path from the southwark through the
Lao THE Shan channel toward the
mouth of the port. 1t appears that
the Tenshin Maru, which was in the
van, was steered too far to port, and
when she was about three miles to the
southwest of shore She was hit and Sc
riously damaged. She was run on the
shoals intentionally.
The other steamships, which were in
her wake, changed their course to the
northeast and advanced. but the enc
my's searchlights flashing upon them
impeded their progress.
SECOND VESSEL DISABLED.
The enemys fire first struck the
steering gear of the Bushiu Maru, dis
abling her. She grounded near the
Tenshin Maru and after striking her
officers destroyed her and she sank
Next the Buyo Maru was seriously
damaged by the enemy's shells and she
sank before reaching the harbor en-
trance.
In the meanwhile the Hokoku Maru
and the Jinsen Maru had advanced
with great energy and had reached the
entrance to the harbor with consid-
cradle difficulty. The Hokoku Maru
was on the outer side of the stranded
Russian battleship Retvizan and the
Jinsen Maru on the eastern side of the
Retvizan. The crews of each lighted
explosives to destroy the merchant
man, and after giving loud cheers got
into their small boats.
When they found their vessels sink
ing the crews endeavored to row to
the Japanese torpedo boats, which.
were ready to pick them up, but the
Russian searchlights lit up their path
and the Russian fire became very Sc
we're. The crews in their small boats
were compelled to row around under
cover and they were unable to reach
the tornado hnatS
The sea became heavier at sunrise
and the crews suffered great hard
ship. They finally succeeded in reach
ing the Japanese squadron at o'clock
in the afternoon of the same day.
MANNED BY NAVAL CREWS.

Car has received the following from
Viceroy Alexief. dated Port Arthur,
February 26:
After the moon had set early in
the morning Of February 25, the Ret
vizan repelled several attacks by the
enemy's torpedo-boats, two Of which
are believed to have been sunk in the
open sea. Our torpedo-boats, under
Captain OF the First Rank Matuszvich
and Captain OF the Second Rank
Prince Lieven, unsupported, encoun-
tered and pursued the enemy's tor
pedo-boat fiotilla. They sighted no
large warships
Later in the morning of February
% the cruisers Bayan, Diana, Askold
and Novik were sent out to prevent
the japanese cruisers from pursuing a
portion Of our returning torpedo-boat
aotilla. One of our torpedo-boats,
which was cut off by four japanese
cruisers, sought shelter in Dove Bay.
1t had no casualties.
The Japanese feet, on sighting our
cruisers. came in closer to the forts,
which, together with our warships
opened fire at 1880 o'clock. Our
cruisers, still firing, entered the har-
Dor, which our torpedo-boats had al
ready safely reached.
The enemy's shells, for the most
part, fell short. One seaman was
wounded, but we sustained no other
losses.
The japanese fleet consisted Of
seventeen large warships and eight
torpedo-boats, whereas the squadron
which attempted TO block the entrance
to Port Arthur on the previous day
had twelve torpedo-boats."
SHELLS FALL IN FORTRESS.
The Port Arthur correspondent of
the Russ telegraphs as follows:
"On the morning of February % a
Japanese squadron consisting Of six
battleships and four light cruisers ap-
peared on the horizon. The Russian
cruisers Askold, Bayan and Novik
were in the outer harbor The Jap
anese ships, upon attaining a position
within thirty-five cable lengths (about
four and a quarter miles) of the Rus
sian ships opened an attack. At this
time two of our torpedo boats were re-
turning to our ships from Pigeon Bay.
All the Japanese cruisers attempted
TO cut them of. Nevertheless one of
the torpedo-boats succeeded in reach
ing Port Arthur, while the other turn
cd back. The scene Of the battle was
thus cut in two, the Japanese battle
ships cannonading the Askold, Bayan
and Novik, which were supported By
the batteries, and the cruisers pur-
suing the Russian torpedo boat, which
entered Pigeon Bay.
THE cannonade lasted forty min
utes. and several shells fell at various
points in the fortress. One Chinese
was mortally wounded by a splinter
and another by she'll
In yesterdays affair the n1aneuvers
of the Japanese appeared to be defect
i've. While turning back to sea the
japanese battleships got punched, and
our ships did not fail to take advan-
tage Of this fact. They opened a run
ming fire, and one could plainly see
shells bursting amid the tremendous
target. This clumsy maneuver on the
part of the japanese is considered as
sffording weighty reasons for the be-
lief that the enemy's losses were
heavy.
"A japanese torpedo boat lies on a
bank of Port White Wolf 1t is ap-
parently one of those which partici-
pated in the night attack with the
freighters."

The desperate manner in which the
japanese are returning to the attack
in Port Arthur. in spite of their re-
pested repulses, has convinced the
military authorities that their main
objective for the present is to hope
lessly cripple the Russian fleet, in or
der TO secure absolute freedom in the
Decentralization of troops. For this
reason the Russian commander is
carefully guarding against exposing
his ships, keeping them in the harbor
under the guns Of the fortifications.
4 doubt exists as to whether the
japanese really design to land near
Port Arthur and invest the city The
authorities admit that they are con-
siderably mystifled, but the prevailing
opinion seems to be that the Japanese
viii not hazard a landing at this stage
OF the campaign.
POOR LANDING PLACES.
1t is pointed out that owing to the
conformation of the shores the only
suitable landing places near Port Ar
thur are well within the range of the
batteries, and that if a landing is at
tempted on the northern part of the
peninsula the Japanese transports will
be unable to come to land, and that on
account of the shelving shore the troops
would have to march miles through
mud and low water exposed to a gall
ing off-shore fire.
The Ministry of Finance, it is said,
has again declined firmly the offers of
several groups of leading foreign banks
to float a Russian loan on the ground
that there is no need for adopting such
a course.
According to a telegram received
from the commander of the Russian
cruiser Askold at Port Arthur all ru-
mors regarding the sinking of his ves-
sci are false. The commander adds
that the Askold is quite sound

July Weather in Hood River.

July in Hood River has been an ideal
summer month. AS shown Uy the gov
ernment record there were 20 clear days,
six partly cloudy, and five cloudy. The
temperature, while not excessively
high, has shown but few cool days, max
ing it very favorable month for work
ing in hay and grain, and killing the
weeds in the berry fields. There we're
but four dayswhen the maximum run
below 20, and but eight where it climbed
above 80. The highest point reached
was 80 on the 25th. The highest mark
made in July last year was the same
figure; nl902, 9S; in 1901, "a. The
lowest point reached by the minimum,
thermometer was 48 on the l4th; that
of July, 1908, "; 1902, 40; 1901, 43. The
monthly mean for July was 65.19; that
OF 1908, 64.2; 1902, 646; 1901, 64.2. The
greatest daily range in temperature was
that OF the 18th, when the minimum
was 81 and the maximum 90, giving a
range OF 43 degrees.
The precipitation, while it was very
light, .l9 of an inch for the entire month ,
was in excess of that for 1903, which was

FRUIT FAIR ON
OCT. Is, IA, IS

Hood River will hold the 9th biennial
fruit fair Thursday, Friday and Satur-
dav, October I3, IA and Is.
This is the date set by the association
al meeting Of the members at the rooms
of the Commercial club last Saturday
afternoon. The meeting was the larg-
est OF the kind ever held, and indicates
n determinations to make the fair surpass
anything in that line ever pefore under
taken by the people of Hood River, and
they have held some very successful
fruit fairs.
Mr.. Smith called the meeting to or
der, and the former secretary secured
a record Of the proceedings. In taking
the chair MIR. Smith remarked that the
meeting was very encouraging. He
said he remembered the time when MIR.
Slingerland and himself we're the only
two men to respond to the published
notice of fair meeting. They went
ahead and held fair just the same.
As to the finances of the association
Mr.. Smith said there was something
like $27 left on his hands by the former
treasurer, Mr.. Slingerland. At the time
of the Grand Army encampment, the
RtIltTdl Vi tIlC
finding about $50 worth of lumber on
their hands offered the fair association
the lumber for 500. Mr.. Smith took it
upon himself to buy the lumber, saying
If the association did not care to take il
he would.
G. ]. Gessling reported balance of
$7.05 in the treasure and on motion the
association agreed to take the lumder
Mr.. Smith had purchased.
Mr.. Smith thought it well to decide
whether or not the farmers wished to
hold a fair. When the Ore
gon Press association adjourned at
Salem last year they did so with the
understanding that they were to meet
this year at Hood River, at the time of
the biennial fruit fair here. Further
more Mr.. Smith said he never knew
the apples of the valley to be making a
better showing, and everything indicat-
ell that if fair was undertaken it would
be the biggest kind of a success.
On motion of Mr.. Baker it was decid-
ed to hold the fair.
/, The date for the fair was the next
consideration, and on motion the 18th,
14th and 18th of October were selected
as the time most suitable, considering
the condition of the weather at the time
of the year, the condition of the fruit
and the approach of the busy season
when every one in Hood River will be
busy picking and packing the immense
crop Of apples.
On motion of Mr.. Baker it was then de-
cided to place the control Of the fair in
the hands of ways and means COM
