NELL HAD NO CONNECTION
WITH CENTRAL HOTEL.

Otto Nell whose petition in bank
ruptcy was filed in the U. S. Court
day before yesterday has not been
connected with the Central hotel and
bar on West Broad street for nearly
a year. The bankruptcy proceedings in
no way affect the hotel which has
been under a new management
since early in 1903. The report
of Nells connection with the
hotel was an error. He has
been running a place on Broughton
street for some time. The Central
hotel is under the management of Mr..
L. A. Newsome.

Several Prominent Business Men.
Mr.. F. Wade Vaughan, representing

Company of Monroe, Ga. is in Savan-
nah again in the interest of a mutual
company for this city.
Mr.. Vaughan was here a short time
ago when he made an address on the
advantages of mutual insurance be-
fore the members of the Chamber of
Commerce, and pointed out the feas-
Utility and advantages of establish
ing such a company here.
At that time in a short canvass he
secured subscriptions to such a COM

thousand dollars. 1t is probable that
he will continue this work on his
present visit. 1t is likely that Mr..
Vaughan will call on a number of bus
mess men who are favorably disposed
to the suggested new company and
upon the result of these interviews will
depend, in a large measure, his plans
for the remainder of his visit.

BULLET WOUND WILL
CAUSE NEGROES DEATH.
Man Accidentally Shot by Mr.. FIem-
ing Cannot Recover.

HHB NNHHOt HNVCUNeN'
No hope is now entertained for the
recovery of Lucius Burdell, the negro
who was accidentally shot in the back
some days ago by the son of Lieuten-
ant of Police Walter Fleming.
Burdell is at the Georgia Infirmary
in critical condition. An operation
was performed. and the bullet was
moved from near his spinal column
where it had lodged. Since then Bur-
dell has been growing weaker.
At times the wounded man has been
delirious. and it has required the com
bined strength of two men to hold him
in bed. 1t is not believed that he will
live through the day. An account of
the accident, which will probably cause
Burdell his life, was given in the Morn
ing News.

FOR NINE CENTS THE QUEEN
GOT A SQUARE MEAL.
Her Royal Majesty DIned with the
Poor of London.

OOE VI
London, March 24.-The routine of
the royal life was Interestingly broken
to-day when Queen Alexandra paid an
informal visit to the Alexandria Trust.
and there enjoyed a innocent dinner
among the factory employees and chill
dren of the East End of London.
The Queen always has taken keen
interest in the institution, which was
founded on her plan to give the poor
the cheapest possible food without
saVoring of charity. She arranged to-
days visit privately with Sir Thomas
Upton, who is the principal contribu-
tor to the institution. Like a factory
girl who had just preceded her, the
Queen went to the desk and asked for
eight dinner tickets, rendering half
crown.
The news of the identity of this ex-
traordnarily young-looking woman
soon spread, and the children crowded
around her curiously touching her
dress and looking up in her face. Those
who could not get near stood on ta-
bles to catch a glimpse of their Queen.
Soon the whole building rang with the
shrill cheers of the delighted children
and girls. The Queen saw two mites
crying.
What is the natter" she asked.
They had lost their dinner tickets.
Their grief was quickly turned to
joy by the gift of shilling from the
royal purse.
SO thickly did the children, most of
them typically ragged urchins of the
East End, crowd around the royal Wis
itor that one of the attendants tried
to make a passage way for Her Ma
jesty
Don't bother" said the Queen. II
did not come here to disturb them"
After talking with several factory en-
ployes who were in the midst of their
meal, which is daily served to some
5000 or 1000 persons, the Queen and
her party, accompanied by Sir Thomas,
went upstairs. where they all redeemed
their meal tickets. For her 8 cents the
Queen had soup, lamb, potatoes, a
large helping of plum pudding. a glass
of water and a mug of coffee. She
seemed to enjoy it.

TOGO REPORTS ON
THE ENGAGEMENT.

Toxic, March 24-Vice Admiral
Togo's report of the fifth attack on
Port Arthur, which was made on
March %, reached Toxic tonight and
is as follows:
1.-The combined fleet acted according
to the plan arranged.
1.-TWO fiotillas of ,destroyers were
outside Port Arthur, as instructed,
from the night of the 21st until the
morning of the 22nd. Although dur
ing this time our destroyers were I'M
der the fire of the enemy, they sus-
tanned no damage. The main fleet ar
rived off Port Arthur at o'clock on
the morning of the 22nd.
II dispatched a part of the fleet in
the direction of Pigeon bay and or
dered the battleships Full and Yash-
ina to make an indirect bombardment
against the inner side of the port.
During the bombardment the en-
emy's ships gradually came out of the
harbor, and at the time when the in
direct bombardment stopped, which
was about 2 o'clock, the number of
Russian ships was five battleships,
four cruisers and several destroyers.
We believed the enemy was trying. by
making a movement of their fleet, to
draw us near the forts.
THE enemys ships shelled us indi-
rectly and many of their shots fell
near the battleship Full, but our ships
sustained no damage. About o'clock
our vessels withdrew off the port

B0TTLING- UP ATTACK
Is NOT CONFIRMED.
Other Correspondents Do Not AIIude
to the Attempt.

London, March 25.-The Daily Tele-
graphs circumstantial report from its
Toxic correspondent that the Japanese
succeeded in bottling up Port Arthur
on the night of March % is not con-
firmed from any quarter.
The special dispatches to the other
morning papers announce no new devel-
opment in the situation, but throw
few side lights on the operations.
The Standards Tien Tsin correspond
ent says that viceroy Alexieff renewed
his demand for the withdrawal of all
Chinese officials and soldiers from
Manchuria on the ground that other
wise it would be impossible to conduct
the war properly.
The Daily Mails correspondents give
from japanese sources some details
of the condition of Port Arthur which
were gathered during a recent visit
of a Chinese junk there. 1t is assert
ed that a boom had been placed across
the entrance to the roadstead, which
is alive with mines so defective and
so carelessly laid as to equally en-
danger both Russian and Japanese YES
sells. The damaged Russian warships,
these reports say. were repaired with
such haste that it is dangerous for
them to leave their anchorage.
Eight battleships and cruisers and
ten torpedo boat destroyers are now
uninjured and often leave the harbor,
but never go far from the forts. Jap
anese naval officers praise the quality
of the Russian torpedo boat destroy
ers, which, they confess, have done
excellent work, but they declared that
the Russian shells are badly fused
and fail to explode except when they
strike direct upon armor, and that
their charges of gun cotton are in
sufficient to cause serious damage.
The Daily Nails Shan Hal Kwan
correspondent says that the Japanese
are secretly engaging Chinese to act
as an irregular corps.
