REPETITION OF
 FORMER TACTICS
JapS Fight and Then
 Fall Back.
epOrt of Another Attack on Port Arthur, But It Is Not
 Confirmed.

St. Petersburg, March No con- firmation here of the Yin KOw report to the London Daily Telegram that the Japanese had again bombarded Port Arthur yesterday, but news of another attack at any moment will not be surprising.
 The dispatch in question recites that fifteen Japanese warships furiOusly bombarded Port Arthur from ten until twelve o'clock. The Russian cruisers Novik, Askold aud Bayan, accom- panied by four torpedo boats, steamed out to meet the attack.
 They were, however, forced to retire. The Askold was in. a sinking condi tion. The NOvik was badly damaged and a torpedo boat was sunk. The Japanese withdrew in good order.
 The pause in the war operations in the far east has been broken by a Japanese attack on Port Arthur, of which only the foregoing brief ac- count is yet at hand. The report, however, shows a repetition of the now familiar tactics of Japan, and it was presumed that the attack was made in bad weather, previous tele- graphic advices having reported a se- we're gale raging at Port Arthur. As usual the Japanese did not remain long enough off the barbor to enable the gunners at the port to get fheir range.
 Again, as before, the three crui.crs. the Bayan, Askold and Novik, came out to meet the attack and this sug- gests either that they are the only effective ships there or that the larger battIeships were unable to get out.

 When it is remembered that some themes had not ever been properly rehearsed, the result was most com mendable.

 For Duty.

Washington, March Tt was de- cided at the cabinet meeting today that troops will not be sent to the Isthmus of Panama. The orders that have been sent for the third infantry to be prepared for service there will accordingly be revoked. The marines will continue to guard the interests of the United States on the isthmus.
