Che Foo, Sept 20, $50 p. m.-Auth.
oritative information has been re-
ceived here of general attack upon
Port Arthur by the Japanese forces,
which began yesterday before day
break and continued until dark. All
indications point to an effort to cap
ture certain of the northeast main
forts.
This is the attack for which the
Japanese have cen preparing for the
past 10 days with slight hope of sue
cess. AS fOrecasted in these de-
spatches, the Japanese attack on
Port Arthur is directed against the
northeast front. The main object is
to capture the Notifications on Xix
wan mountain, Rihlung mountain and
the intermediate forts. The forcgo
ing comes from Russian of standing
whose previous information has been
correct. He adds that the attack at
the end of August, which was tc-
ported as TWO separate assaults really
constituted a ten days battle. Al
though the Japanese retired Aug. 81,
along the greater part of their line,
they remained in four supplementary
forts on the northeast frontier which
they had captured from the Russians.
These include two forts fiftv yards
from Rihlung fountain and two
others at somewhat greater dis
tance. Since August 81, the Japane"c
we bOmbardcd very slightly. whiln
tn Russians have been throwing ap'
nrn patclv one thousand shells daily

tions mentioned. Small sortieS rs

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, June 20
Captain Coffin of the Cornell crew, ac-
companied by Manager Alrich. came to
this city to-day and entered a private
sanitarium, where he is in bed with
fever. His trouble is nothing more Sc
rious than malaria, but his condition is
such that it will be some time before
he can leave the hospital. Coffin
stroked the victorious Cornell eight
last year. He strOked the crew the
early part of this year and was regard
ed as one of the strongest oarsmen in
the boat.
Coach Courtney said tonight that
the two substitutes brought from Itha-
ca are not in shape for the race. and
that he has no alternative but to have
two of his men row in both the varsity
and four -oared races. The men selected
for this task are Edward Foote. who
was trained to stroke the four. and his
cousin. George Foote, who rows No. 4
in the big eight. Besides Coffin, Forbes

City of Panama Brings Large
Shipment of Bright-Hued
Birds From Mexican Ports

The Oceanic Steamship Company's
steamship Mariposa arrived in port yes
terday. She was looking spick and span
as ever and clean as a whistle from
stem to stern. Captain James Rennie
reports that the weather down and
back was delightful and that the pas
sengers seemed to enjoy the voyage i'm
mensely.
On the return trip she was little
light in freight and bobbed about a
bit. There was scarcely any seasick-
ness at all on board either going or
coming.
She left Papeete June IA at IL a. m.
and came into port here at S:25 a. M.
making her running time II days and
II hours.
Her cargo consisted in part of 39
cases and 160 crates Vanilla, 1853 sacks
ccpra, 29 cases alligator pears, 101 bar
rels and 191 cases shells, 6310 cocoanuts
in husk and 217 sacks cocoanutS husked.
The Mariposa also brought the intel
ligence that the French sloop-of war
from Tahiti for New Caledonia, had a
lot of trouble in her machinery room
during the trip. The pipes in the en-
sine room burst and threw her ma
chinery out of order, at the same time
scalding three men.
To add to the general predicament
the captain was laid up with illness
during nearly the entire voyage. She
finally reached New Caledonia and is
expected to return from that port to
Papeete.
The Mariposa brought the following
f1rst-claSs passengers:
Count de Calonne, Miss E. H. Bunk
ley, Miss NJ. Hack, Mrs. j. H. Follis,

WILL PROTECT
WIFE'S HONOR
Charles Quinn Indignantly
Refutes the Sensational
Story Sent From the East

The friends Of Charles ]. Quinn, the
well-known young hOrseman. whose
wife, formerly Miss Mabel K. Hopkins
of this city. was recently made the OBJ
ject Of a bitter attack in connection
with a sensational story from st. Louis,
are curious as to what action he pur-
poses to take to refute the charges pub
lished against her. Since his arrival
here Saturday night Quinn has been in
consultation with a member of a lead
ing local legal firm, and it is generally
understood that he will carry the mat
ter into the courts in few days
When seen at his apartments at the
st. Francis last evening Quinn, in the
presence Of his young wife and her
mother. who have not wholly recovered
from the shock of the nOtOTiety thrust
upon Mrs. Quinn, said that he was not
yet prepared to discuss for publication
his proposed plan of action. but he add
ed that he would not permit the unjus-
tifable attack on his wife TO pass un-
needed. The confOunding of his wife
with a woman of a similar name who
attempted suicide in St. Louis a week
ago Quinn insists was the result Of in
excusable careIessness. He said:
Mrs. Quinn and left San francisco early in
May for Chicago. where we have been living
our names should have been connected with
the story. We could easily have been found IN
Chicago at any time As soon as / was sd-
vised Of the slanderous story I Immediately
placed myself in communication with friends
in St Louis and had difficulty in establish
ing the identity OF the real woman in the casa
and all the facts connected with her family
troubles.

could have quickly disproved any
suspicion that my wife and I had separated
or that she involved in any dsagreeabl8
affair in 81. Louis, for they all knew that
daily seen together at hotels, places OF amuse-
meut and on the main thOrOughfares. In
this city relatives Of my wife discredited the
story published from St. Louis. but the paper
that printed IL refused to heed their denials.
Referring to the possibility of his
bringing an action for libel against
those responsible for the story, Quinn
said he was not ready to make a state
ment on that subject, but he added
that there was purpose in his hurried
trip with his wife to San Francisco and
that he would probably make it known
in few days.
Mrs. Quinn at first refused to discuss
the publication that has subjected her
to much humiliation, but she finally
said:
Charlie and I went from san Francisco d.
rect to Chicago. The first two weeks there
we spent at the Auditorium Annex and then
moved into a fiat at 5731 Madison avenue. We
intended to spend the summer there and re-
turn TO san Francisco next winter. We were
never near st. Louis Ny object In coming
back here now Is TO right the wrong that has
been done me. / think this is due to my fam
lily and friends. as well myself.
So far from there ever having been any
trouble between my husband and myself the
truth Is that we have never had a cross word
during our married life. We most happy
