4. WHAT DIPLOMACY MAY DO.

The Savannah News suggests az
interesting possibility, if not probable
ity. European diplomats, says. the
News, "are wondering whether the
outcome of the Russo-J Japanese war
will not be an alliance between the
two countries, under the terms of
which they will dominate all of the far
east. A Japanese diplomat is alleged
70 have thrown out, the other day, the
thought that such an arrangement
might be eventually arrived at. Under
this plan Russia and Japan would
divide China and Korea between
them, to the exclusion OF all other
western powers. II is rather difficult
TO imagine that the two powers that
are now at each others throats, with
only the desire to kill, coming to al
agreement of the kind suggested. And
get it il not impossible. Diplomacy
is capable of almost anything"

Mukden, Nov. 7.-Quiet continues
here. The japanese are still working
hard entrenching their front, which
begins 10 look like a continuous fort.
1t is believed they are preparing seri-
ously to advance, making their front
st4 ong, possibly in order that it may
be held by comparatively small
force while the heavier force engages
IN aanking movements. The Japa-
nese have learned by bitter experience
not to expect much from a frontal at

TERRIFIC DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
One Man Probably Killed and Forty
Others Injured.


Others Injured.
Mount Vernon, N. Y, Nov. S.-The
explosion of over a ton of dynamite
under the Bond street bridge Wednes-
lay shook the city and the surround
ing country within a radius of five
miles, probably killed one person and
injured nearly forty others, two of
whom may die.
The man supposed to have been
killed was an Italian in charge of the
dynamite. He was seen on the bridge
just before the explosion and has not
been since found. There were 1900
pounds of dynamite stored at the side
Of the deep rock cut running from the
western limits of the city to the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
way station, which was used for
blasting a path for additional tracks.
The explosion tore a hole in the
ground eighty feet deep, wrecked the
Bond street bridge over the railway
track and broke all the windows with
in a quarter of a mile. Many houses
were shifted from their foundations,
walls were stripped of plaster and
furniture smashed to splinters.

SPLIT LINE OF Defense
JAPANESE CAPTURE ONE OF THE
sEMI-ClRCLE OF FORTS At
PORT ARTHUR.

Toxic, Nov. 5.-It is reported that
the Japanese have occupied Wantai
hill, sunk several transports and have
set fire to a battleship at Port Arthur.
There is no confirmation OF the report.
Nanta hill is one of the extensive
semi-cil Gle Of forts defending Port Ar
thur. 1t is situated in about the CEN
ter of the semi-circle, between the
Antse mountain forts and Sungcow
fort, which is situated on an adjoining
hill. The capture of Wantai hill, it
has been pointed out in dispatches
from Port Arthur, means the dividing
of the eastern fortified ridge. The
Japanese had previously and unsuc-
cessfully attacked Wantai hill, particu-
larry during the latter part Of August.

London, Nov. Especial dispatches
from Chefoo and Tientsin report that
the defenders of Port Arthur have re-
tired to the Lioati hill, where they
are holding out desperately, entrench-
ed and with ten guns of large calibre.
Many Russians, the correspondents
assert, are respondent and surrender
ing, The Japanese, it is added, are
advancing with irresistible energy.
More reliable reports do not con-
firm these statements, but the Toxic
report of the capture of Want& hill,
a dominating fort within two miles
of the railway terminus, shows that
the Japanese are making rapid strides.
Bennett Burleigh, the Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent, reports from
Chefoo that there was no fighting on
the night OF Nov. 5. The troops OF
the mikado, he says, have frequently
stolen into the native town OF Port
Arthur after dark, but invariably were
driven out at daylight, with heavy
losses. The Japanese have four large
forts facing the Russian works on
Rihlung mountain and Shangshu
mountain, where they are mounting
naval guns on stone foundations.
