NEW ASYLUM BUILDINGS
First Contract Awarded Yesterday to
 Clinton Campbell.

The contract for the construction of one of the two buildings to be erected at the territorial asylum for the insane was awarded by the board of control yesterday to Clinton Campbell for $9.- 534. The contract for the other, which is to be a counterpart, will not be awarded until after the sale of territo- rial bonds which are now being adver- tised. The sale will take place in Sep tember and soon after that work on the second building will be begun so that the construction of the two build inGs will be practically simultaneous.
 This contract has been awarded on the second call for bids, the board thinking that the first bids were all too high and also it had determined to make some changes from the original plans.
 Each of these buildings will be de- tached from the main building, will be erected on opposite sides of the road way which runs around it and will be about 100 feet distant from it. Each of the buildings will be two stories in height and will contain wards suffi- cient for the accommodation of forty eight inmates. In each there will be two wards and a sitting room. The wards will be 2S.4xS4 feet and the sit ting room vii be 25.4 feet square. Both wings of the "L' will be surrounded by a porch, ten feet wide on both sto- ries. The length of each of the Us is SO 1-2 feet.
 The erection of these buildings is the beginning of a movement to introduce the cottage system in the conduct of the asylum.
 The new wards will be occupied by those inmates of whose recovery there is strong hope, in order that re- covery may be facilitated.

RUSSIAN TORPEDO
BOAT DESTROYED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The japanese
legation has received a cablegram from To-
kio under to-day's date giving an account
of the Intellectual attempt made by the Jap
anese to blockade the mouth of the harbor
at Port Arthur, and also brief account
of the attack by the Japanese on Port Ar
thur yesterday morning. AS a result of
the attack yesterday, the cablegram says,
one of the Russian torpedo boats was de-
stroyed. The text of the cablegram is sub
stantially as follows:
''Vice Admiral Kamimura reports on the
26th of February the following: According
TO the report from the torpedo iotilla, which
was sent for the purpose of rescuing the
crews of the steamers sent to block up the
harbor at Port Arthur, the Hokoku Maru,
on the left side of the entrance Of the har-
Dor, near the lighthouse, and the BuShfu
Maru, outside the entrance, were sunk pur-
posely by the japanese by explosion. The
Tenshin Maru, the Buyo Maru and the
Jinsen Maru sank themselves on the east
of the Lao-Te-Shan. All the crews of these
steamers were picked up safely. Our de-
stroyerS and torpedo 1otilla are unframed.
on the night of the 24th our destroyers
again went on a scouting cruise near Port
Arthur palny and Pigeon bay.
"On the dawn of the 18th our main squad
ron approached Port Arthur and bOmbarded
the enemy's men-Of-war and the forts from
a distance. We saw the Novik, the Askold
and the Bayan fleeing into the harbOr, it
thus being apparent that the blocking oper-
alton had not much effect. Our squadron
then fired into the harbor and saw flames
and considerable smoke. We withdrew
after fifteen minutes Smelling. While our
cruisers were thus engaged in firing we saw
one of the enemys torpedo boats destroyed.
Our squadron received no damage. Ad-
miral Togo is still on the scene.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. s6.-Baron Suye-

cussing the war he said:
ut is for us a gigantic struggle and which

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. but at the same time we
must look to maintain our existence as a
nation. We have large political and COM
mercial interests as we'll as a sacred histo-
rical connection with the Korean peninsula.
If Korea falls into the hands of any other
nation il will be death blow TO the ex-
istence of our empire. We respect the in

teries and then began TO leave. They
stopped within sight Of the fort, but out of
range of fire.
AT this time four of the enemy's cruisers
detached themselves from the squadron
and proceeded to Pigeon Bay, where they
quickly opened fire on our torpedo boats
that were cruising there. They directed
also strong cannonade against the shore.
The commandant consequently sent troops
to Pigeon bay. The firing there lasted for

ATTITUDE OF THIBETANS

PESHAWAR, British India, Feb 26.-It Is
reported that the Ameer's boundary pillars
on the Afghan-Turkista border have been

LONDON, Feb. 26.-LOrd Hardwieke, un-
der secretary for India, in the House of
Lords to-day, replying to the request of
Lord Rey, Liberal for further information
regarding the British mission TO Thibet, said
the government was determined TO insist on
q final settlement regarding carrying out the
terms of the convention of 1890 The Thibet-
ans had refused 10 have intercourse with
Great Britain. but the result of their con-
unual intercourse with Russia had been to
inspire the Thibetans with the feeling that
they had Russia behind them, and therefore
they need not fear the British. This situa-
ton the Indian government and his Ma1es-
ty's government could not tolerate for mo-
ment. While Lord Hardwicke- refused to
pledge the government regarding the limit
OF Colonel Younghusbands advance into
Thibet, he said the mission was friendly and
Colonel Younghusband would do nothing TO

RUSSIANS ANNOYED At
AMERICAN SENTIMENT
Cannot Understand Why Sympa-
thy of This Country Goes Out
to Japan in War.


ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 26.-The NOvoe
Vremya this morning publishes long lead
ing article regarding the relations existing
between the United States and Russia In
considering the unfriendly manifestations
against the latter in the United States. the
Novoe Vremya argues, distinction must be
made between the people and the govern
ment, and it attributes the agitation in the
press to a campaign engineered by the Jews.

a battleship for the Mikado. The paper in
sists, however, that the traditional friend
ship for Russia occupies 4 firm position In
the American mind and heart, and that the
people cannot really prefer the japanese to
the Russians who never have harmed them.
The Novoe Vremya, on the other hand,
contends that without reason the Washing
ton government has been unfriendly to Rus
STA and compares the most brilliant feat of
the State Department, the Geographic ratih-
cation of the Chinese open-port treaty, TO
Geographic marriages, which, IL is said, are
sometimes practiced in America.
But il is idle, the article goes on, to talk
now or sending United States consuls TO
Manchuria. Not satisfied with his success,
Secretary Hay undertook to secure the neu-

trative entity of China. Diplomatists. lex

to what all this meant. Secretary Hay kind
~ announced that he did not care 10 have
his proposal defined in detail. The article
concludes:
1.-The American government has taken a
position which i'll accords with the former
good relations with Russia. and we are con-
WINGED that the conduct of the United States
gunboat Vicksburg in refusing to protect
and receive drowning Russians will not meet
with wide sympathy in America, nor will
the Americans sympathize with the naval
demonstration at the mouth of the Yalu
river, of which the telegraph brought re-
port yesterday"
As cabled to London Feb. %, the Nagasaki
correspondent of the London Daily Tele-
graph asserted that 1.-The American squad
ron the vessels of which are variously re-
ported at Che-Foo and Shanghai, is going to
make a demonstration at the mouth of the
Yalu river" 1t is possible that this is the
report TO which the Novoe Vremya refers.

nearly all the Germans are officials. The
few American and British subjects there
have been required to sign an agreement

The rumorS of numerous engagements on

said that Russia has no definite plan of
campaign, and that she does not intend to

The expectation that the powers will in

LITTLE DAMAGE WAS
DONE BY EITHER SIDE

LONDON, Feb 27-Oficial Russian and
other dispatches show that there has been
a succession of attacks or demonstrations
by the Japanese at Port Arthur. probably
undertaken With the Intention of covering
'or preparing for Japanese landing else
where. and possibly with the hope of in
fiioting further damage on the Russian war
ships and increasing the Generalization
of the Russian forces. 1t would seem ap-
parent that little damage was inflicted
on either side, although the dispatches
leave the exact situation at Port Arthur in
some obscurity.
