GAR IS SPRINKLED
WITH HOLY WATER

ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 9.-There was
an unprecedented scene at the religious
services held in the winter palace at
O'Clock this afternoon. At the command of
the Car a great concourse of ministers,
court officials, high state functionaries,
ladies of rank and military men assembled
in st. Georges Hall, ali the men arrayed
in full uniform. After some delay which
became almost oppressive because of the
feeling of solemnity plainly apparent, the
doors of the imperial apartments were
opened and the Car entered, wearing the
uniform of the First Guard Regiment of
Russia, with the dowager Czarina on his
arm. The dowager wore a costume of
pearl gray and no jewels The young Gar
ina wearing her faYorite white ana silver,
followed, escorted by the Grand Duke Mi
chael, the heir presumptive. Approaching
a group or naval and military officers, his
Majesty turned gravely and greeted them
with the customary Russian phrase: Il
wish you good health, gentlemen" The
officers responded with a loud acclaim
shouting vigorous hurrahs-
The scene became one of wild enthusiasm,
amidst which the imperial procession moved
forward. entered the chapel advanced to
the altar, and stood with bowed heads while
the choir and clergy intoned an impressive
microscopy service of the Greek Church.
An intensely religious spirit pervaded the
entire assemblage, which crowded the little
palace chapel TO its utmost capacity. Dur
ing the recital OF the litany many knelt and
even bowed their heads TO the chapel floor.
The court chaplain, attended by the dea
con, rcverently approached the Car and
sprinkled him with holy water from the
chalice, and presented crucifiX, which the
Gar kissed fervently. At the conclusion
Of the service the imperial party slowly re-
tired AS they re-entered the palace another
scene of enthusiasm greeted them. The
Car made no address. Darkness had fallen

RUSSIAN CRUISERS
HAUL DOWN THEIR Flags

LONDON, Feb. 10.-In dispatch from
Tien-Tsin, dated Feb. 9. a correspondent of
the Daily Mail says it is reported there
that the Russian cruisers Variag and
korietz hauled down their flags without
firing shot and that 5000 Japanese i'm
mediately landed at Chemulpo and the
march to Seoul commenced.
1t was reported from Picking to-day that
the japanese had disembarked at Chemulpo
Notwithstanding the presence there of two
Russian warships. and another dispatch
from Che-Foo said japan had the Variag
and the Korietz caught at Chemulpo.
Japanese troops also landed at all the
chief points of southern and western Korea.

JAPAN'S BLOW At PORT
ARTHUR WAS CRUSHING

LONDON, Feb. 9-In a dispatch from
Che-Foo, dated Feb. 9. a correspondent of
the Daily Express says: 1.-The Japanese
have dealt the Russians a crushing blow
at Port Arthur. An advance squadron of
the Japanese fleet. under command of Vice
Admiral Togo, and comprising sixteen bat
tleships and cruisers, with numerous tor
pedo fiotilla, left the main fleet off Shan
Tung peninsula or Sunday Immediately
that the news of the diplomatic rupture be-
came known. This information was con-
veyed to the Japanese admiral by a de-
stroyer dispatched from Tsuishama Satur-
day evening.
THE Japanese scouting cruisers had
given accurate information of the pre-
carious situation of the Russian fleet out
side Port Arthur The squadron steamed
slowly in battle formation Sunday midday
toward its goal, and came within sight of
Port Arthur under cover of darkness. 1t
cruised slowly outside without showing
lights. The Russians were lying in the
roadstead, apparently feeling secure from
attack Nearly all the Japanese torpedo
boats were dispatched on their dangerous
and daring task. They rushed. full steam
on the enemy, who were completely sur
prised, A great rattle of small arms greet
ed the invaders, who, however, escaped I'M
hurt, and the Retvizan, the Czarovitch and
the Pallada were almost Immediately tor
pedoed. The Japanese dashed along the
entire line of the Russians, exposed by now
to a terrible fire from machine guns and
small arms from both the ships and the
shore.
There was the utmost CONSERVATION
among the Russians, which probably ac-
counts for the Japanese torpedo boats es-
Gaping practically unscathed and rejoining
the admiral outside. The admiraTs fleet,
during the attack, kept out of range of
the Russians search lights. Line of bat
tie was then formed and the Japanese fleet
moved in within a range of two and one
half miles and opened fire on the Russians.
The booming of guns was heard far out
to sea by the officers and crew of a Jap
anese ship which has arrived here. The
battle is understood to be still raging, and
the widest reports are current. The
Chinese population of Che-Foo is in a
frenzy of excitement at the reports that
the Japanese, whom they now regard as
their friends, scored the first victory.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-02-10

merely reiterated all the cardinal points
to which Japan consistently objected"
Baron Hayashi says the Japanese fleet is
not likely to blockade Port Arthur. His
knowledge of the Japanese naval plans, as
tentatively prepared, leads him and others
here TO believe that the Japanese fleet is
now lying between Che-Foo and the Yalu
river, screening the landing of troops. one
army corps at Fusan and two at Pen-Yang,
Korea.
Night torpedo attacks on the part of ia
pan, it is believed, will be kept up as long
as the Russian fleet maintains its neces-
sarily open position outside of Port Arthur.
This will be done in the hope of breaking
UP the Russians nerve. The troops landing
at Pen-Yang will be pushed toward the Rus
sian frontier. Those at Fusan will proceed
TO Seoul.
Unless Viceroy Alexieff assumes the ag-
gressive no serious naval battle is expected
until the Decentralization of the Japanese
troops is completed.
A dispatch from Rome, saying that the
Japanese government had purchased the
Chilean battleship Captain Pratt, the cruiser
Chacabuco and the gunboat Aimirante Cor
dell, was pronounced untrue by Baron Hay
ashi. The Nippon companys London agents
have heard nothing of the alleged capture
of the steamer Inaba Maru, near Hong
Kong, by Russian warships, as reported by
a news agency in the United States to-day
1t is asserted here that Russia has war
ship in the vicinity of HongKong, and that
therefore, the Inaba Maru cannot have been
captured.
A dispatch to Lloyds's from New Chwang,
after confirming the reports of the depar-
ture of the japanese and announcing the
preparations to close the Yokohama specie
bank adds: lowing to the enormous trade
interests involved the powers should de-
mand that Russia surrender the port of
New-Chwang and agree to the neutraliza-
ton thereof"

Feb. that the Russian advance has com
menced. General KrastalinSky will leave
Lao Yang tomorrow for the Yalu river at
the head Of the Third Brigade OF artillery,
consisting of twenty-four guns and three
regiments of infantry. The Third, Fourth
and Fifty infantry brigades are intrenched
along the railroad at distance or forty
miles from Hai-Chang and three batteries
of the Fifth Brigade are at kin-Chou.
The greatest activity prevails here, and
ammunition is being served out lavishly,
at average of $50 cartridges per man.
New recruits are being enrolled with fever
ish haste, drilling being dispensed with in
favor of incessant target practice.
A dispatch TO the Daily Mail from Toxic,
dated Feb. 9, says that plot is on foot at
Seoul to bring two thousand soldiers from
Pen-Yang to take the Korean Emperor to
the French legation, to which place the
imperial treasury has already been con-
veyed.
The correspondent Of the Daily Mail at
Kobe, in dispatch dated Feb 9, says that
a company of Negova troops have already
been sent to guard the ancient shrines at
Isein, in the province of Yamada.

VIEWS OF BRITISH
NAVAL OFFICERS

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Naval men in London
regard the result Of Japan's first attack
with torpedo boats on the Russian fleet of
Port Arthur as staggering. They point out
that Viceroy Alexieffs reference to mines"
obviously meant "torpedoes," and said that
if the Russian vessels had been struck by
Whitehead torpedoes they probably have
been sunk or are resting on the mud in
Port Arthur, in any case. hopelessly out
of action for a considerable time.
The Japanese minister Baron Hayashi
said this afternoon: Russia is making
desperate Efforts. through the various en-
bassies. TO nave the powers intervene
Russia is willing to concede every
thing. but the offer comes too late" Baron
Hayashi added: 81 learn on good author

JAPANESE RESERVES
TO LEAVE HONOLULU
Have Been Called Upon by Mt
merous Cables to Return
Home at Once.

HONOLULU, Feb. 9.-Numerous cables
were received to-day by Japanese residents
in Honolulu from their government advising
them that the reserves had been called out
and instructing them TO come home at once.
1t is believed that there are large num-
Der Of reserves among the 60.000 japanese in
Hawaii and that the war will possibly de-
prive them of IabOrers. The present trans
pOrtatiOn facilities 10 Japan will be in
adequate to carry the large number of jap

FAKE DISPATCH THAT
MISLED ST. PETERSBURG

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. "a hoax
was perfected on the public here to-day
soon after the reception of Admiral Alex
iefr's dispatch stating that the japanese
has disabled three Russian warships. IL
was stated the Russian admiralty had re-
ceived a dispatch saying eleven japanese
vessels and one Russian warship were sunk
in attacks upon Port Arthur. The town 10
in flames and martial law has been de-
clared." Investigation showed that the al
legged admiralty dispatch was a fake and
that the Japanese feet had retired without
loss so far as known.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-02-10

come known il will be seen that Japan. by
her pluck and energy, has practically Sc
cured command of the sea.
In an editorial article the Daily Tele-
graph says that unless all signs are astray
THE far Eastern fleet which Russia built
up with extra ordinary exertions during the
last five years is in its death agony"
The Times says the moral effect OF the
blow which Japan suddenly delivered can
hardly be exaggerated. and the immediate
strategic consequences are scarcely second
in importance TO the moral effect.
All daily papers express the greatest sat
isfaction at such a complete and unexpected
initial success on the part Of the japanese.
