London, April 1s.-viceroy Alexieff,

"At a. m. until p. m. a japanese
fleet of IA vessels in two divisions
bombarded Port Arthur and fred 1856
projectiles at the Russian fleet. The
battleship Pobeida answered from her
anchorage. The battleship also replied.
Five men were wounded. The town

Paris. received in gov
eminent quarters now establishes the
fact that naval battle occurred be-
tween the Japanese feet, consisting of
fourteen war ships, and the force I'M
der the late Vice Admiral Makaroff.
From this the officials strongly incline
to the conclusion that the destruction
of the Russian ships and the loss of the
ment. However, the only definite off,
cial information is that battle
occurred and it is said that japanese
submarine boats took part in the en-
SoSCmChb dh0 CduoCu OnC

st. Petersburg.-There are now only
two unchanged battleships-the Per-
esviet and the Sevastopol-in the har-
Dor at Port Arthur, but some of the
damaged vessels have been repaired.
London.-A correspondent at sea off
the coast of Korea says be believes
that the entrance of Port Arthur is
sealed.
Paris.-A cable report received at
the foreign Office here says that the
imperial palace at Seoul, Korea, is
completely destroyed by fire. The fire
began in the evening and lasted
throughout the night. Only the ruins
of the palace remain. The emperor
and his suite succeeded in escaping to
nearby refuge. The report does not
mention any loss of life nor does it
give the cause of the fire, but the re-
cent political unrest in the Korean
capital leads to fears that the destruc-
ton of the palace was the work of the
rebellious element.

OF education to absence of opportuni-
ties. are simply exposing their weak
ness of character.-Success.
