RUSSIAN GUNS CANNOT
BEAR ON LANDING PARTY.
IL Is Believed japanese Land Forces
Mediate Attack.

London, Feb. 12.-The British
view that the Japanese will in
the meantime be able to occupy
Port Arthur is chiefly based on the lat
est information that the Russian guns
cannot be brought to bear on any force
landing at Pigeon Bay, which is on the
Western side of Port Arthur. and 1t
is believed that the japanese admiral
will follow tactics almost exactly SIM
liar to those intended to be pursued at
Santiago, the troops storming the bat
teries in the rear while the Japanese
fleet lies waiting for the ships of Vice
roy Alexieff, who. in the event of a
land attack being successful, must
either make dash for liberty with his
crippled fleet or fight where they are
against practically hopeless odds.
In spite of the lack of news it is con-
fidently held here that the japanese
land forces are actively engaged in a
most important movement. which will
come to a climax as swiftly as did
Japans first naval attack.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Han
ma is passing through the climax of
his illness, and this afternoon it was
feared he was dying, but tonight he
rallied strongly and there is again
some hope that he yet may win the
forlorn fight. The odds are much
against his recovery, but the sturdy
physique of the man. aided by oxygen
and powerful stimulants, brought him
through this afternoon, when he was
sinking rapidly, and possibly may
again.
Ii is now a question how long the
climax of the fever will last and how
many and severe will be any further
acute attacks, for to-day's spell was
so severe that another probably
would witness the end.
To-day's acute attack came in the
form of a chill about 2 o'clock, and
not long afterward Senator Hanna
passed into Inconsistencies, not to re-
turn again until after o'clock. His
pulse at this time ran up to 100 and
was so feeble it was not perceptible at

Views at st. Petersburg Regarding

ST.. Petersburg, Feb. 12.-Russa is
evidently not prepared at this time to
give an answer to the United States
to Secretary Hays note on the SUBJ
ject of the neutrality of China.
AS previously stated in the dispatches
the hostilities having begun. the milf
tary authorities must be consulted, and
the Car doubtless will refer the mat
ter to Viceroy Alexieff, if he has not
already done so. Russia, it can be said,
is certainly as anxious as the United
States that the war cause no risings or
disorders ia China. indeed, the atti-
tude of China is already causing some
misgivings here, as she has not yet de-
clared her neutrality.
1t is thought here that the action Of
the Japanese in flooding Pekin with
posters relating to their victories is
part of a well laid campaign projected
from the beginning to break down Rus
sia's prestige in China, for the purpose
of ultimately effecting the union of the
two races. which would make the "YeI-

EXPECT PORT ARTHUR
TO FALL WITHIN A WEEK.
British Get Information That
Prompts That View.


London, Feb. IL. p. n.-The Brit
ish government has information which
leads it to believe that Japan is likely
to be in possession of Port Arthur a
week from now. In the best informed
Japanese circles here, it is privately
thought that the war will be over by
July. Those British officials who are
cognizant of the extraordinary thor
oughness with which Japan prepared
for the war, are inclined to share the
Japanese view regarding the duration
of the struggle.
Baron Hayashi, summing up events
in the Far East so far as they have
gone, said to the Associated Press to-
day:
Whatever may be the eventual re-
suit of the war, Russia, in allowing us
to occupy and fortify Masampho, has
created for herself another Darda-
nelles. With the fertilization of Ma
sampho the integrity of Japan is as
sured forever. No fleet can now pass
there against Japan's wishes. Even if
we are beaten, we would not give up
Masampho."

Judge Downing said he had actually
performed the marriage ceremony. and
as the young woman who represented
herself as the wife of Sanborn had not
produced her certificate within the
time limit he had fixed, he would sign
the papers making Miss Ohlsen Mrs.
Sanborn.
Mrs. sanborn and her friend imme-
diately left the court room. The for
mer told the officials of the court that
she did not know what had become OF
her husband.

He Encountered the Russians Out

Toxic, Thursday, Feb. 11.-Vice Ad-
miral Togo's official report of the at
tack of the Japanese fleet at Port Ar
thur reached Toxic late this afternoon.
The report was written at sea Feb.
TO- at point undisclosed by the Navy
department. The report briefly and
modestly recounts the japanese vic
tory.
Vice Admiral Togo left the battle
ground not knowing the full extent
OF the damage his torpedo shells had
inflicted, but he was evidently conf
dent that the Russians had suffered
heavily! A translation of Vice Ad-
miral Togo's report follows:
After the combined fleet left Sase-
DO on Feb. everything went as
planned. At midnight Feb. our ad-
vance squadron attacked the enemy at
Port Arthur. At the time the enemy S
advance squadron was for the most
part outside of Port Arthur. OF the
advance squadron at least the battle
snip Poltava, the protected cruiser
,ASkold and two others appeared to
nave been struck by our torpedoes.
on Feb. 8 at noon our fleet ad-
vanced in the offing of Port Arthur
bay and attacked the rest If the en-
eny's ships about forty minutes. The
result of the attack is not yet known

was Injected on the enemy, and / be-

In this action the damage to our

the Baltimore physician in attendance.
as he came from the sick room at 9:55
o'clock, said that there had been a
decided improv ement and that the pa
tents pulse was much stronger and
had fallen nearly twenty points.
"Of Course There Is Hope"
Miss Mary Phelps, the Senator's niece,
was near at hand when the doctor
came from the sick room. and when
she heard the announcement of the rail-
ly, she asked:
"Then you have hope. doctor?"
Hope" the doctor replied; "oi
course there is hope. When a man
rallies from a sinking spell such as the
Senator had this afternoon and showed
such strength afterwards. there is the
best ground for hope"
When the afternoon chill occurred
powerful stimulants were promptly APP
piled. For two hours and a half oxy-
gen was applied continuously and later
more irregularly, as its good effects be-
gan to manifest themselves. Prior Ia
the sinking spell saline solutions were
given and strychnine in 1880 doses was
administered. but much more heroic
remedies were resorted to during the
period of the acute attack.
Mrs. Hanna was out driving at the
time, but when she returned she was
promptly advised of the change that
had taken place during her brief alb
sence, and hurried to the bedside of her
husband, where she remained constant
ly throughout the period of greatest
danger.
The news quickly spread that the
Senator was in a sinking condition, and
the numbers of callers and inouirers
who had come in greater number to-
day than at any time previous. were

Democrats In Iowa under date OF
March lG letter In which he vlgor-
ously opposes the idea of lnstructing
the Iowa delegation to the national
Democratic convention fer any candl-
date for president While the CON
gresham only mentions Mr. Hearst in
cidentally, 1t is plain from his letter
that he especially opposes the plan
which the Bryan silver wing OF the
party In this state has organized for
the instruction OF the Iowa delegation
for the New York congressman and
publisher. He says In part:
Il have no fault to find with any
man because he is a supporter OF Mr..

the Duke OF Cambridge has aroused
considerable speculation as to the dis

contrary TO general belief, does not
belong to the crown, but was the pri-
vate property of the late duke, to
whom II was bequeathed by his aunt
the Duchess of Gloucester. This
mansion occupies commanding posi-

duke to the Dublin actress, Miss Fair
