LANDING PARTY REPULsED
Japan's Attempt to Invest Port Arthur
With Troops Failed.

Paris. Feb. 12.-The TEMPS says it
has received confirmation from official
sources of the report from Port Ar
thur that the japanese attempted TO
make a landing at the Bay Of Port
Arthur and were Immediately re-
pulsed.
Despite the repulse Wednesday, 1t
IS stated that Japanese transports are
now engaged in a further attempt TO
land their forces at the point where
the bridges were destroyed at Port
Arthur.
According to the report of the fight
the japanese made the unsuccessful
attempt to land troops back Of the
city. Their object was to cut the Rus
sian line of communication and to in
vest Port Arthur by land and sea- The
ATTEMPT was conducted along well
planned lines, and did not prove a
failure until after a hard battle had
been fought and, according to reports,
many killed and wounded on both
sides. The reported details Of the at
tempt state that the japanese feet
steamed up as close TO land as posi-
BILE. and then sent large force to
land.

Of the feet were met with stiff re-

these attempts were made, but in each
case the Russian fire was too heavy,
and the fleet was at last compelled to
abandon the attempt There is hardly
O doubt that the Japs will try again.
The Journal Des Debats, in a special
dispatch from St. Petersburg, an
nounced that a bombardment of Port

has been able to cure in all its stage,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
