japanese Start for Seoul.

London, Feb. 10.-In a dispatch
from Tien Tsin dated February 9,
correspondent of the Daily Mail says it
is reported there that the Russian
cruisers Varyag and Korietz hauled
down their flags without firing a shot
and that 5000 japanese Immediately
landed at Chemulpo and the march to
Seoul commenced
1t appears, the correspondent contin-
ues, that the Russian warships at
Vladivostok are icebound.
Another correspondent of the Daily
Mail telegraphs from Port Arthur un-
der date OF February 9 that the Rus.
sian advance has commenced. General
Kranstalinsky will leave Liaoyang
tomorrow for the Yalu river at the
head of the Third brigade of artillery,
consisting of "a guns and three regi-
ments of infantry. The Third, Fourth

trenched along the railroad at dis
tance of 40 miles from Haicheng, and
three batteries of the Fifth brigade are
at Kinchou. The greatest activity pre-
walls here and ammunition is being
served out lavishly at an average of $50
cartridges per man. New recruits are
being enrolled with feverish haste,
drilling being dispensed with in favor
| of incessant target practice.

OFFICIAL REPORT.
Russia Worsted In Battle Off ChemuIpo
Two Vessels Lost.

London, Feb. 10.-The official ac-
count of the Chemulpo battle received
at the Japanese embassy here says that
the Japanese squadron in escorting
transports to Corea was met on it's way
to Chemulpo by the Russian gunboat
Korietz as the latter was leaving port.
The Korietz assumedrrthe offensive and
fired on a Japanese torpedo boat. The
latter replied by firing two torpedoes
without effect. The Korietz then re-
turned to anchorage in the port and
early next morning Admiral Iriu, COM
manding the Japanese fleet, formally
demanded that all Russian vessels leave
the port of Chemulpo adding that if
they did not comply by noon yesterday
he would be compelled to attack them
within the harbor.
The Russian men-of-war left the port
at IL 80 and battle was Immediately
given outside Polynesian island.
After one hours engagement the Rus
slams took refuge among the islands,
and towards evening the cruiser Variag
sank.
About o'clock this morning, the
Korietz was reported sunk by her own
crew, who, finding her utterly dis
abled, blew her up.
There were no casualties ON the Jap
anese side.

AT MERCY OF JAPAN.
Forces Are Closing in on Port Arthur
and 1t Must Fall.

San Francisco. Feb. 17.-Although
communication is said to be reopened
between points in Japan and Corea,
the advices still are indefinite. A spe-
cial dispatch published here by the
Star states that its correspondent has
reliable information that in the Sec
ond attack on Port Arthur the jap
anese sunk eight vessels and captured
ten. No confirmation can be obtained
and the report is not generally credit
ed, despite the Stars insistence that
it is true.
Russia is protesting in the matter
of the British permission that Japan
occupy Vie Hal Wei. Russia would
like England to reoccupy the place if
it is true that the fleet of the Mikado
has been making it headquarters. The
czar apparently knows that there are
likely to be serious cmplications with
other nations, and is making great
military preparations to guard his
country from all manner of attacks.
Although the land forces of Japan
have met with some reverses, these
are not thought to be serious, as they
were not her main body of troops. 1t
is conceded that Port Arthur must
fall, and the Japanese are working
rapidly and persistently to. this end.
They are slowly but surely closing in,
and as the Russian fleet is scattered
it cannot be seen how she can pos
sibly prevent the Japanese from as
sailing her stronghold from both
sides

American Naval Officers on Vessels
Attacking Port Arthur.

New York, Feb. 17.-International
matters are assuming very serious
aspect, according to Herald dis
patch from st. Petersburg. One of the
most serious bits of news at this mo-
ment is the alleged confirmation OF
the statement that on board the Jap
anese vessels of war attacking Port
Arthur were a number of American
naval officers. This report has caused
something akin to a feeling of con-
sternation among the Russian Off
GERS.
The emperor has issued the strong
est orders, continues the dispatch,
that no news whatsoever be COM
municated through the headquarters
staff. Further he is deeply annoyed
with the attitude recently adopted by
the Russian press of writing upon the
political situation in a way calculated
to raise enmity between Russia and
England, and also, very specially,
America. For instance, the st. Peters
burg Gazette has been prohibited, not
as is generally supposed for publish
ing false news about the war, but be-
cause of an accompanying article de-
clared to have been highly insulting
to England.

Bio BATTLE EXPECTED.
Japan and Russia Both Rushing Troops
Into Corean Territory.

Toxic, Feb. 11-Japa, is making
tremendous preparations to land more
troops in Corea. She already has sue
ceeded in landing several thousand of
her forces at Chemulpo despite the
presence of two Russian cruisers.
Four batallions have been landed at
Gensan, one of the treaty ports of Co.
rea, 115 miles from Seoul.
Japan is concentrating her forces at
Tsushima island in the Straits of Co.
rea, which is Japan's most advanced
base.\
1t is officially stated here that the
Russian troops have crossed the Yalu
river and are pouring into Corea.
Their objective point is believed to be
Seoul. Officials here declare that this
action compelled Japan to initiate
hostile measures and make war terri
BILE actuality.
Official circles in Toxic are convinced
that a great battle between the Russian
and Japanese land forces will occur
soon in Corean territory.
The japanese, however, are clamor-
ing for rigorous prosecution of hostili-
ties all along the line. Plans for land
ing greater japanese force in Corea
are being pushed strenuously.

AID ASKED TO FIGHT FIRE.
Largest Starch Factory in the World
Is Destroyed.

Oswego, N. Y, Feb. l3.-The huge
starch factory of the Corn Products
company, consisting of three great
buildings, forming the largest estab-
lishment of the kind in the world, took
fire this evening in the chemical room.
At % o'clock the flames were under
control, being confined to the build
ing. The loss will be over 81 200, 900.
After the city fire department and
the volunteer department of Kingsford' 8
mills had tried in vain to cope with the
flames, Mayor Mansfield telegraphed
for aid to Fulton and Syracuse. From
the latter city, three engines and 25
men were dispatched and joined their
efforts to those of the local department.
Fireman Dougherty and Evans have
been injured, the former fatally by a
fall from roof. Twenty-Five men at
work in the buildings where the fire
started barely escaped.
The burning buildings contain many
hundreds of thousands of bushels of
starch and corn. Six hundred en-
ployes are thrown out OF employment.

BALTIMORE PARALYZED.
Aftermath of Terrific Fire Shows Appall-
ing Conditions.

Baltimore, Feb. 1.-THE people of
this unfortunate city are dumbfounded.
Baltimore is beginning to realize the
immeasurable magnitude of her loss.
The weather has taken wintry chill
which adds to the grief. Workers who
are idle know they will probably be
compelled to leave for other cities. All
estimates of the total loss vary from
$3.50, 900, 900 to twice that vast amount,
but it will be months before it can be
adjusted, as the task is gigantic one.
Insurance adjusters are dazed by
the great work ahead of them. Spec
ial agents from all important companies
went into a special session at II o'clock
this morning as a loss committee.
When morning broke it would have
been impossible to describe the scenes
of devastation that met the eyes of the
thousands who focked to the scene of
the great confagration that ragged from
Sunday morning at IL O'Clock until
late Monday night before it could be
safely said that all danger of further
destruction was passed. Even then no
one could tell but fresh wind might
spring up and again fan the dying
flames into renewed and vindictive
vigor.
One hundred and forty acres lie in
utter ruin. In this desolate territory
stood the greatest and most costly
buildings in Baltimore or the state of
Maryland. Millions were represented
by the great business concerns that oc-
cupied the stone, brick, iron and steel
buildings and their loss is great; great
er than can be estimated at the pres
ent. Insurance underwriters roughly
and conservatively estimate the loss at
5000, ,0OO,O 900, and the amount of insur-
ance involved at 800, 900. There
must be added to this as a natural con-
sequence the personal property loss that
insurance men have no way of estimat-
ing.
The district swept by the fire is rs
blocks in extent and comprised nearly
$500 buildings. 1t is within the ter
ritory bounded on the west by Liberty
street, on the north by Lexington
street, on the east by Jones Falls, and
on the south by the Rasin.

LOSS. OF NATION
MARCUS ALONZO HANNA PASSES TO
ETERNAL REST.
End Came After Two Months of Illness,
Filled With Apparent Recoveries Fol-
lowed by Relapses-Last Moments
Were without Paln-Was Kept Alive
by Powerful Scientific Agencies.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Mar
Gus Alonzo Hanna died at $40 O'Clock
last night at the family apartments
in the Arlington hotel, after an illness
extending over nearly two months,
filled with apparent recoveries fol-
lowed by relapses, and finally drift
ing into typhoid fever, which. in his
weakened condition, he was unable to
withstand. When the end came all
the members of the Senator'S family
were in the room except Mrs. Hanna,
the Senator's wife, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan Hanna Mrs. Hanna had left the
room only a few minutes before.
The last sinking spell began at ex-
actly $50 o'clock. Doctors Carter and
Osler were then in attendance. They
did not conceal the fact that life was
about to end, and all the members of
the family were sent for. Mrs. Nc
Cormick. one of the Senator's daugh-
ters, and Miss Phelps were present
when the end came. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan Hanna were the first to arrive,
and they withdrew Immediately to the
chamber of the Senator's wife to sum-
LuOu ucT " IuS UCuoiuC. IL AAiS
they were absent that the Senator
breathed his last.
There were no distressing Incl
dents attending the last moments. 1t
was a sinking spell, which terminated
In 10 minutes. Just after his eyes
closed in death Mrs. Hanna was able
to come into the room. She bore up
we'll under the ordeal, and tonight she
| is showing calmness and bravery.
The courage displayed by Mrs. Han
| ma is the subject of the greatest sur
prise. She was in almost constant
attendance on her husband, though
realizing fully there was no hope for
recovery. Nevertheless, the re-
monstrances of the physicians and
| the added implorings of her children
that she take some rest were unavail-
| ing until late in the afternoon, when
she was attacked by a violent head
ache. She was given narcotic and
| then she retired to her chamber, but
requested that a call be sent as soon
as there appeared any change for the
| worse.
For the last two days Senator Han
ma had not been conscious except at
intervals and then only to obey me-
chanically some instructions given
him by the physicians. Fourteen
| hours before the end was announced
life had practically suspended, the
ttlckering spark being kept aglOw
by the most powerful scientific
agencies.

RUSSIANS BLAME ALEXIEFF.
They Say He Should Have Been Better
Prepared to Fight.

Chefoo. Feb. 13.-More than one
half of the Russian officers at Port
Arthur blame Admiral Alexieff for the
disaster that has ove1taken them.
They believe that, instead of spending
the time sending communications to St.
Petersburg during the last few weeks,
bewailing the anxiety for peace that
prevailed there, he should have been
preparing his forces for the combat.
In fact, the wish is declared to have
been made by one of the Admiral s
warmest supporters that he would be
recalled to St. Petersburg, courtmar-
tailed and shot for incompetency.
The land forces are in bad way and
are ready to, run at the first fire. A
corps of the determined Japanese in
fantry would have little trouble taking
the fortress with the squadron attack
ing from the harbor mouth. The situ-
alton at present looks as if Russia
would be forced to abandon her "mod-
ern Gibralter' within very short
time.

EAST AS REPORTED.
Troops Number Under 100000 Men-Of-
ficers In Manchuria are Surprised
War Is On-RusSians are Said to
Have Slain One Hundred Chinese and
Officials Appeal TO Pekin.

London. Feb. .>13.-The Pekin cores
pondent of the London Times ascribes
the habitual overestimation of the Rus
sian forces in the Far East to the claim
arising from the Boxer troubles, put
forward by NJ. De Giers, then Russian
minister at Pekin, during the peace ne
gotiations at Pekin in 1900 for an in
demnity OF l7,9OO,OOO pounds, on the
ground that Russia had put $4,000
men in the field. It is now known,
however, that the real number of these
men will be under 100, 900.
Continuing, the correspondent says
an American military officer who has
just returned to Pekin from trip
through Manchuria, made for the pur-
pose of reporting the situation, de-
clares all the Russian officers he met in
Manchuria professed to believe wal
would be averted. While he was at
Port Arthur, on January 81, the Rus
sian fleet was hurriedly ordered to sea-
but in getting out two vessels stuck fast
in the mud of the shallow basin and
were compelled to remain behind.
Special dispatches from Toxic this
morning announce the arrival of Jap
anese troops at Seoul, but beyond this
the dispatches published in the news
papers add practically nothing to the
knowledge of the actual situation.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard sends in a report that the
Russians have massacred 100 Chimes
at Liaoyang, in consequence of which thu
officials at Shanhaiakwan are greatly
alarmed, and are appealing to Pekin fo
protection.

Reports Indicate Japanese Are Mas

Port Arthur, Feb. 17.-Oficial re-
ports today are that the japanese
landed 600 strong near Talien Wan
Saturday with disastrous results to
the Cossacks, sabering 40. Thirty
were killed and the remainder re-
treated.
The steamer Wenehow, with 800
Japanese on board, was refused per-
mission to depart. The landing at
Dove bay was not opposed until the
Japanese were ashore, when the forts
and troops shelled. Four Russian
warships were sighted near Tsugaru
straits and may attack Hakodate.
London, Feb. ia concerted at
tempt of the japanese to land her sea
forces to invest Port Arthur is i'm
minent. All dispatches this morning
unite in the indication that such a
plan is in action. News of the first
shot has been received, and it is be-
lieved will prove an irreparable blow
to Russia.
The fact that only 10000 Japanese
were landed at Chemulpo is taken at
Chefoo to indicate that the main Jap
aneSe army has been DETECTED for the
land investment of Port Arthur.

& "The engagements at Port Arthur and

soon as our forces are landed in Corea
1 look for an important fleet action at
Port Arthur. The Russian vessels
probably lie close beneath the island
batteries but by going on the Chinese
side our ships, by high-angle fire,
can shell them out. The Russian ad-
miral may possibly like Cervera, antic-
ipate his fate and come into the open
of his own accord.
In speaking of the Hay note, he says
Japan will most certainly and heartily
agree, but so long as Russian troops
are in Manchuria Japan cannot regard
it as neutral territory While Japan
is anxious to assist in maintaining
neutrality with China proper.
