st. Petersburg, Aug. 9.-An official
report from Lieutenant General Stoes-
sci, commanding the military forces at
Port Arthur, says that the Japanese
were repulsed with tremendous losses
in a three days fight from July rs to

General Kuropatkin reports some
Russian successes In outpost fighting
to August s, without the expected great
battle having opened.

grams from these commanders in the
far cas-. raised the spirits of those in
the Russian capital immensely. The
dispatches were printed In special
newspaper bulletins and were eagerly
bought up on the streets. The news
boys around the depots met the strong
crowds Of Sunday pleasure seekers and
shouted their wares without being re-
proved by the police. and thousands of
st. Petersburgers went to their homes
tonight apparently satisfied that fav-
Orable turn of affairs had commenced
at the front.

JAPS DO NOT ADMIT
THE RUSSIAN PROTEST.

Toxic, March 3O.-The Russian gov
eminent, through the French minister
here, has lodged a protest with the Jap
anese government against the destruc-
ton of the quarantine station at San
Shamtao during the fourth Japanese
attack on Port Arthur.
The protest is based on Article 25 of
The Hague International Peace Con-
gress, copy of which is submitted
with it.
Responding to the protest, Baron
Komura, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
informed the French minister that the
japanese government had received no
report from Vice Admiral Togo con-
corning the destruction of the quaran-
tine station, but whether the station
has been destroyed or not, the article
of The Hague convention related only
to land battles, the convention having
lef the question of naval lombard
ments unsettled.
Japanese military and naval officers
who are familiar with San Shamtao
declared that the quarantine station
there did not exist before the war.

SMOLDERING GOALS
BLOWN BY RUSSIANS,

st. Petersburg, March 30-The Novoe
Vremya to-day executed a face about
strongly supporting the idea of Rus
so-British understanding, in an edl-
torial entitled "The Blindness OF Eng
land" in which the paper argues that
the success of Japan would be more in
furious to Great Britain than to any
other European nation and points to
the United States as the common rival
of both. 1t describes Japan as Amer
icas sharpshooter" and says:
Remember what nation, in the per-
son of the commander of one of its men
of war at Chemulpo, refused to join IN
the collective protest of the other for
eign commanders before the Japanese
destroyed the Variag and the Korletz.
Remember who alone among all ala
not take on board the crews of our
perishing ships. To the honor OF Eng
land, the ally of japan, it was not her
representative, but the commander OF
an American ship.
1.-The Americans wish to convert the
Pacific into an American Mediterran-
can. Would that be to the advantage
of England? Does England not under
stand in her blind policy and hatred to-
ward Russia that she is turning this
ocean into an American Mediterran-
can? Sooner or later the European
countries will recognize that America
is their mutual enemy. Why SHOULD
not Russia and England, In view OF
their. possessions outside OF EUROPE
cOmbine?"

JAPANESE MERCHANTMEN
SUNK BY THE RUSSIANS.

Che Foo, March 30.-The captain, an
oiler and one passenger of the Japa-
nese coasting steamer Hanyei arrived
at Tang Chow this morning, and re-
ported that the Hanyei had been fired
on and sunk by the Russian fleet near
the Miaotao Islands on the morning of
March 81. They also reported that the
remainder of the crew and passengers,
Chinese and Japanese, seventeen in
number, had been taken prisoners by
the Russians.
The captain of the Hanyei says he
mistook the Russian warships for the
japanese fleet until he had approached
to within one mile of them. Then the
Russians boarded the Hanyei in small
boats and removed the passengers. The
captain, the oiler and one passenger
were in bed in the hold when the Rus
slams came aboard and were not taken
off. The Russians then sank the steam
er. and the three men chung to float
ing wreckage, until they were rescued
by Chinese fishermen.
The Hanyei was a small vessel.

London, March 30.-The Japanese le-
CATION here has received the following
official report from Toxic of the fight
ing between Japanese and Russian
forces at Chong Ju, Korea, Monday;
"On March 2S a portion of our cavalry

ava and twelve others wounded, OF the
cavalry force. There were no casual
ties among our infantry.

carried off by the enemy, on horseback
or by ambulance. The Russians were

dead men, apparently officers, and
bloodstained bandages were found
scattered around.
1.-THE enemy must have sustained
losses at least equal to our own"

Two of +. Augustus Heinxe's Mine
Superintendents Were Also Fined
$1,000 Each-Charge Against All
Three Was Contempt of Court.
They Had Refused Admission to
the Mine to the United States Mar
shall and Federal inspectors.
Butte, Mont. March 30.-F. Angus
tus Heinze, the Montana copper mag
nate, A. L. Frank, superintendent of
the Johnstown Mining Company, and
J. H. Trerise, superintendent of the
Ararus mine, Heinze properties, were
found guilty of contempt of court by
Judge Beatty in the United States
court to-day in the action brought by
the Butte and Boston Mining Com
pany against the defendants for en-
tering the Michael Davitt Lode claim
and extracting therefrom valuable ore
on what is known as the Ennargite
vein. n
Mr.. Heinze was fined $4,000, while
Frank and Trerise were fined $1,000
each, the fines to be paid by IL o'clock
to be taken to Helena in custody of
the United States marshal and confin-
ed until the fines are paid.
Carlos Warfield, another defendant,
was found not guilty and was dis
charged.
The judgment applies only to the
first count against the defendants.
Judge Beatty's reservation of the de-
cision on two of the three counts on
which HeinZe was charged with con-
tempt in disobeying a former order of
the court that an inspection of the
Heinze mines be allowed in order to
permit of the survey of certain ore
veins, has the effect of keeping an inn
prisonment sentence hanging over
Heinze. Judge Beatty announced,
however, that no Imprisonment order
will be issued if the fine is paid, and
there is no further violation of the
courts order.
The fines are an outcome of the ar
rest of the defendants for refusing the
United States marshal and federal in
spectors admission to the mine.

Hrose and a boatswain named Sugino
is paid by Vice Admiral Togo in his
official report of the second attempt to
bottle up Port Arthur. The Vice Ad-
miral said:
Commander Hirose and Boatswain
Sugino, who were killed, displayed re-
rnarkable courage. Boatswain Sugino
was Just going down to light the mag
azine on the Fukui Maru when the
ship was struck by an enemy's tor
pedo, which killed him.
Commander Hirose, after causing
his men to take to the boats, and not
finding Sugino, searched through the
ship three times for him. Finding
his ship gradually going down, Com
mander Hirose was compelled to give
UP the search and enter boat. AS
he was rowing away under the enemy's
hot fire, shell struck him on the
head. His head and part of his body
were blown away. Only a piece of
flesh in the boat was all that remained
of the brave officers body. Command
er Hirose was always a model officer
and he leaves a meritorious example,
the memory of which will be everlast-
