Batteries Kept SiIent-Five Rus

100000 Men at Ping Yang.

Vladivostock, March IA fleet of
five Japanese battleships and two cru
isers appeared off this place at 1:25
o'clock in the afternoon and lombard
ed the town and shore batteries for So
minutes. The fleet approached from
east entrance to Ussuri bay and about
81 miles southeast of here Entering
Ussuri bay, the enemy formed a line
of battle, but did not approach to a
closer range than a mile and one third.
They directed their fire against the
shore batteries and the town, but no
damage resulted, as most of their 200
lyddite shells failed to burst The Rus
sian batteries, commanded by General
VernOtez and Artamonoff, did not re-
ply, awaiting a closer approach of the
enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2O p.
m. and the enemy retired in the di-
rection of Askold island. Simultane-
ously two torpedo boat destroyers APP
peared near Askold island and two
more near Cape Maidel. The Japan
SS6 SulpS were covered WITH Ice. Inc
attack resulted in no loss to the Rus
SLAMS, but cost the enemy 100000 rou-
bles ($100,00O) in ammunition. Most
of the prOjectiles were and IL inch
shells.
The population of Vladivostok was
warned of the presence on the horizon
Of the Japs and the prospect of attack
during the day, but it remained tran
quill.
Private advices say that five Rus
slams were killed, four sailors and the
wife of an engineer. 1t is apparent the
Japanese were afraid to risk exposing
their ships to the plunging fire of the
land batteries and it is considered
probable at ot. Petersburg that the
attack was reany for the purpose of
drawing the fire of the Russian forts,
compelling the Russians to disclose the
position and calibre of their guns and
for the purpose of ascertaining wheth-
er the Russian squadron is in port. If
TINS was the object of the Japanese 4,

Inc batteries did not fire shot and if

Fooled the Russians.

At midnight recently the forts at
Port Arthur saw a number of appar-
emily lighted vessels approaching the
harbor. Their approach was accom-
panied by loud cannonading, to which
the forts replied, but after an hour Of
firing it was discovered the lights were
fixed to floating RATS. which were
tOwed by two Japanese vessels. The
latter were firing their guns with the
object of drawing the Russian fire and
wasting Russian ammunition.

is A WAR OF GRAFT.
George Remnants Comment on Russia's
Position.

Chicago.-"If Russia loses in her
struggle to hold Manchuria there is
no telling what may be the result to
the nation, menaced as it is now by
as many enemies and so much internal
dIssension. With Poland and Finland
on the north, Armenia on the other
side, and with the Jews, little Russia,
dissatisfied peasants, students and
countless other hordes of people who
now nurse in secret their wounds and
grievances against the government,
with all these dangers to the country
under normal conditions, what might
not be expected if this same country
were broken by defeat in war which
a great majority of the people would
have averted if they had been allowed
a vOice?"
Thus spoke George KEENAN,, the not
ed traveller and writer, famed for his
expose in 1857 of the horrors of ST.
berian convict life. Mr. KEENAN, was
in Chicago en- route to San Francisco
and Japan to write of the Russo-Jap-
anese war for the Outlook.
This war has been forced upon the
car and the people by the grand ducal
party and war party in military cir
cles. The czar is a weak man; he has
no sand; he is dominated by the
strongest mind nearest him.
This is war for graft. 1t is the
practice of the Russian government,
when it conquers land by force, to
distribute the richest portions among
the nobility and military commanders.
OF course, the very richest goes to the
czar's private estate, then comes the
grand ducal party and after them the
military commanders. Such was the
case when Siberia was taken; such
will be the case if Russia wins in this
struggle. Manchuria and Korea will
be plucked similarly. That is why the
grand ducal crowd and the military
were so anxious for war. They look
for rich pickingS.'

Think War Just Started.

Although almost four weeks have
lapsed since the Japanese fleet first
attacked Port Arthur, at st. Peters
burg the war is considered hardly be-
gun.
The Russian plans contemplate TAX
ing no chances on the score of inferior
numbers. By sheer weight of men and
guns, if nothing else, when the proper
time arrives, Russia counts on over
whelming the Japanese and rolling
them back through Korea.
1t is realized that the vastness of
the theatre of war will make the pro-
lection of the railroad, the sole means
for the transportation of troops and
supplies from Europe, one of the most
difficult phases of the Russian military
problem. With the Japanese in COM
mand of the sea, there is always the
possibility of their landing small bod
les of men in unexpected places to
make incursiOns into the interior to
cut the railroad and telegraph lines
and blow up bridges, but adequate
measures are beneved to have been
taken to guard against such misfor-
tune.

Seven hundred Russian cavalry rode
through Senchon a short time ago and
the Russians have destroyed the tele-
graph wires between Anju and Yeng-

Russians billet troops freely on the in

value. Koreans complain, however, of
Japanese payments being made
through Korean officials with the re-
suit that they frequently do not reacn
the peasantry who supply the goods.
The inhabitants of Korea are gener-
ally sympathetic toward the Japanese
but are afraid of the Russians except

their intention OF rising in support of
Russia and overthrowing the present
government should the Russians sue

Russians Embarrassed.

Russian troops are greatly embar-
raised by the scarcity of provisions
supplied in Manchuria, owing to Jap
anese successes on the sea and the
Chinese declaration of neutrality. The
Russians rely largely on the Siberian
railway for food supplies and transpor-
tation of troops is consequently imped-
ed
