Russian Account of Attack.

st. Petersburg, Feb. ga dispatch
from Port Arthur says the Japanese
torpedo boat attack of Feb 25 result
ed in Russian success. The accurate
shooting of the batteries inflicted
losses on the enemy and caused the
boiler Of one Of the Japanese torpedo
boats to explode. Early in the morn
ing a Japanese fleet consisting of six
battleships and four cruisers appeared
on the horizon. The Russian cruisers
the harbor and the Japanese torpedo
boats advanced to within 80 or 35
cable lengths to attack them. The
Japaneses battleships and cruisers
separated and then advanced against
two Russian torpedo boats cruising in
Pigeon bay. One of the latter broke
through the enemy's lines under hot
fire and reached the harbor. At 10:45
o'clock fierce engagement took place
between a Japanese battleship and the
Russian cruisers supported by the
shore batteries. In view of the SUI
periority Of the enemy's six battle
ships over the three Russian cruisers.
the latter were withdrawn. The enemy
ceased fire at 11:25 o'clock and at
IL O'Clock the Japanese cruisers
which were chasing the Russian
torpedo boats began to fire on the
forts, but the firing did not last long.
The Japanese maneuvering was
clumsy, and in turning their vessels
came SO close to one another that
Russian shells could be seen falling on
them as they huddled together. A
Japanese torpedo boat which was
driven ashore near Djelywool is sup
posed to have belonged to the f1otilla
which was escorting the fire ships de-
stroyed the night of Feb. 23rd.

WITH CLEVELAND

Washington. March 1.-During con-
sideration of the District of Columbia
appropriation bill in the House yester-
day, Mr. Scott (kan.) made the declar-
alton that negro had dined at the
White House with President Cleveland
during the latter's first administra-
ton.
The statement was prompted by a
reference to Mr.. Gilbert (ky.) to the
dining of Booker T. Washington at the
White House. When the name was
demanded, Mr.. Scott said it was c. H.
]. Taylor. who was appointed by Pres
ident Cleveland as recorder of deeds
for the District Of Columbia.
Mr.. Gilbert observed that he and
others never had heard of the incident
but the Democrats were not 'particu-
larly claiming" Mr.. Cleveland, and Mr..
Cochran (Mo) said that it was but
cumulative evidence that there is no
better Republican in the country than
Grover Cleveland"
Mr.. Scott. in contrasting Booker T.
Washington with Taylor. said the for
mer was man of recognized ability.
while he declared there was nothing to
commend the latter

New York, Feb. 26.-The Herald
publishes the following from its Lon
don correspondent:
Strategists apparently are satisfied
that the Japanese have landed at Pos
siet bay and that their object is to
either attack Vladivostock or threaten
Kiran, Hardin and the Russian COM
munications generally. Military men in
Berlin scout the report of a landing,
pointing out that the garrison at Hun
chun is reported to consist of two regi-
ments. and that they would not have
fed without firing shot.
General Plugs report that eleven
Japanese warships had been seen off
Vladivostock tends to strengthen the
reported landing at Possiet. Possiet
bay is a good harbor but in winter it
freezes for five miles from shore. 1t is
fortified and formerly, at least, was an
important military post. as high as
10000 men having been kept there dur
ing 1894, the year of the Japanese-Chi
nese war. The Notifications alone call
for good-sized garrison. If the jap
anese have landed there, they must be
credited with daring bit of strategy.

ENCAMPMENT OF
NATIONAL GUARD

Denver. March 1-Adjutant General
Bell already has begun preparations TO
comply with the orders of the secretary
of war for the holding of annual en-
campments of the Colorado National
Guard through the provisions of the
DICK bill, which went into effect year
oeo. This bill provides for the holding
OF such encampments once a year in
each state and territory of the United
States as well as the District of Column
bia.
In arranging for the first guard en-
campment, General Bell has set aside
May 29th. Both, 31st and June LIST as the
dates of the occasion. This. according
to present plans, will give Denver in
cidentally notable observance of Me-
mortal Day for this and subsequent
years.
The entire State Guard of 1900 mem
bers will be modified for the encamp-
Dlent and probably will pitch their
tents on the rifle range near Fort Lo-
gan. On this site an artesian well has
been drilled and other conditions are
favorable
The entire guard will turn out for
Memorial Day parade. when it will be
under command of H. S. Vaughn, COM
mander of the G. A. r. for Colorado
and Wyoming. Beside the National
Guard it is anticipated that the regu-
lars at Fort Logan will be in the pa
rade. and 1t is also probable that the
, reunion Of the Spanish War troops will
be held on that date. In addition to
this the G. A. r. veterans will swell
the ranks considerably, and altogether
there will be several thousand men in
the parade Present plans anticipate a
grand review of the march from the
state house steps on the Broadway
avenue side. when Governor Peabody,
General Baldwin, Adjutant General
Bell, Department Commander Vaughn
Of the G. A. R. and other prominent
men will review the parade.
1t is probable that the distribution of
service medals to the members of the
guard who served at Colorado City,
Cripple Creek and Telluride. will be
made during the encampment.
