Japs Are Driven Back by Port
Arthur Garrison.
SORTIE BY RUSSIANS
"a TRANSPORTS LOADED WITH
JAPANESE TROOPS SIGHTED.
Railroad Communication Restored
Jap Landing Force Believed
Overestimated.

NEW YORK, May 1O.--A cablegram from
St. Petersburg says: A telegram received
today reports that Port Arthur is again free
on the land side, the Japanese having been
repulsed in an encounter twenty kilometers
from the railway. The construction placed
on the report here is that the garrison has
made sortie, met the Japanese and driven
them back.
Jap Transports With Soldiers Sighted.
A cablegram from Seoul says: A steam
ship which arrived at Chemulpo today re-
ports seeing twentyfour japanese trans
ports loaded with soldiers off Chenampo,
eighty miles south of the mouth of the
Yalu river. The troops were not going to
disembark at Chenampo, but were bound
for some other point. The steamship also
passed four old transports off the western
coast of Korea.
Railway Communication Restored.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 10, $40 pm
The correspondent of the Associated Press
has obtained absolute confirmation of the
report that railroad communication with
Port Arthur is again open. The first loco
motive came through last night and the
second at o'clock this evening.
According to information received by the
japanese near Port Adams, Lao Tung
peninsula, has been repaired and the per-
manent way is uninjured Telegraph COM
munication with Port Arthur is not yet
open.
1t is reported that Lieutenant General
Stoessel, commander Of the military forces
at Port Arthur, has successfully engaged
and driven off the enemy The general
staff has no confirmation Of this report and
explains the withdrawal of the Japanese
from the railroad as being either due to
pressure from General Stoessel, or to the
forces left by General Kuropatkin at Kai-
Ping and other points on the railroad.
Jap Strength Overestimated.
While without definite information the
impression here is that the strength the
Japanese force landed at Pitsewo was
overestimated, and thatse either it was not
strong enough to take charge of the rail-
road, or it moved eastward along the
Littoral to effect junction with the Yalu
army.
The emperor received the news of the re-
opening of communication with Port
Arthur last night, and seemed greatly
pleased. He had message from Port
Arthur an hour before by pigeon post, via
Liao-Yang. reporting that all was well at
the fortress.
AS Gen. Stoessel has not reported the In
vestment of Port Dalny the reports from
abroad of it's capture by the Japanese are

result of the compaign. The Russ, review
ing the war to date, says:
Alarms European Leaders.


"The fears expressed as to the effect even
Of the temporary successes of the japanese
upon the Asiatics are more general and are
beginning to seriously alarm many of the
leaders of European politics, who dread
further complications. Moderation and
caution are now the principal orders of the
day for all European governments.
The Bourse Gazette remarks: 1T Is not
given us to know how long the night will
last but we know the morning will come.
This is not only a question of the far east,
but of our position in Asia and in the
world. Our great development since the
Crimean war is not to be destroyed by the
Japanese army penetrating into Man
churia."
The admiralty declares positively that the
report of the destruction of the armored
cruiser Rurik is false.

Epidemics at Mukden.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 10, $40 pm
Inc IoHoWlng statement was made TO Inc
Associated Press today regarding the re-
ported epidemics at Mukden:
There are some cases of dysentery and
smallpox and several cases of typhus in
the Mukden hospitals, but there has been
no application for more surgeons nor for
special remedies or serum, and 1t Is entirely
misleading to say that epidemics exist
Smallpox and typhus are endemic in Man
churia, and dysentery is inevitable where
large bodies of men are crowded together.
There Is nothing alarming in the situa tion."

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
Every One Mentioned Waits for Some
One Else to Accept.


After you. my dear AIphonse."
mot at all, my dear CASTOR; after YOU"
This seems to be the attitude of republi-
cans of prominence in regard to the vice
presidential nomination. Speaker Cannon
and Senator Fairbanks are still bowing to
each other, each determined not to go first.
Now comes Secretary Shaw. also over
bllrdened with politeness and consideration
for some one else. They got to talking
about Mr.. Shaw for the vice presidency last
week, and he promptly drifted over to New
York, and at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last
night gave out the following interview:
There Is one man who would make a
prince of a candidate who up to the pres
ent has been overlooked, and that is Repre-
sentative Hit of Illinois. Mr.. Hit is one
of the most popular men In Illinois. and is
a man of long experience in public life. He
would make a splendid candidate for Vice
President
So Secretary Shaw does the Alphonse-
Castor act. too. The politicians say that
they all have their eyes fixed upon 1908. 1t

does not exceed l per cent of the Russian

worse than other places.

FOOD SUPPLIES HIGH.
Japs Refuse Passage Of Steamers to
and From Chemulpo


SEOUL, Korea, May 0, 42O I'm. DELAYED
In transmission).-Owing to the heavy pur-
chases of rice by the Japar ese army, the
price OF that comm Odity in the vicinity of
the American mines at Unsan has doubled,
and is now quoted at three yen per twenty
five pounds. The forces of Korean coolies
in military employ are not affected by
this advance in prices on account of the
extraordinarily high wages they receive
but the mine laborers are hard hit, and 1t
has been necessary to send some junk
distress.
The Japanese authorities peremptorily
refuse to permit steamers to sail from Che
mulpo for Chinnampo or to leave that
port.
The Combat at Chemulpo.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 10-7:45 am-
The final word regarding the combat at
Chemulpo, Korea, has been pronounced by
NJ. Pavloff, the Russian minister to Korea,
whose official report is gazetted in the Off,
cial Messenger this morning. NJ. Pavloff
says:
"The commander of the Vicksburg sent
boat with a surgeon to offer medical help
to the wounded on the cruisers Variag and
korietz, but the officer in charge stated, in
the name of his commander. that it was i'm
possible for him to take any Russians on
board his ship. The commander of the
Variag thereupon declined assistance.
The commander of the Vicksburg offered
to receive the imperial mission If 1t was
compelled to leave Korea, but I declined
the offer. stating that l would go on p
French cruiser.
"Twenty-one Russians who were on the
French cruiser Pascal were suffering from
gansrene, and, fearing that the disease
would be communicated to the other
wounded, the commander of the Pascal sig
nailed to the Vicksburg and asked If she
would receive these men, but the American
commander positively refused to do so.'
