that the news of the diplomatic rup-

Dodge, wanted in New York city on
a charge of perjury, was to-day re-
leased on bond, rearrested and again
released.
Dodge to-day filed the $4,000 bond
required by the federal court, pending
the hearing of an appeal in his case,
and was Immediately released. In a
few minutes after he had made bond,
he was rearrested on the charge of
being a fugitive from justice at the in
stance, it is alleged, of District Attor-
ney Jerome of New York.
Attorneys for Dodge then instituted
habeas corpus proceedings and a
hearing of the case was given by Dis
trict Judge Kittrell. who issued an
order to the effect that any officer of
the state of Texas again interfering
with Dodge while he is held in bond
to the federal court would be held
guilty of contempt and punished ac-
cordingly.
This resulted in the immediate re-
lease of the prisoner.

They Were Fired at the Cruiser

Che Foo, Feb. 9.-The British steam
or Columbia, which arrived here to-
dav from Port Arthur, bringing news
of the attack by the Japanese fleet
upon the Russian fleet, reports that
the Columbia had narrow escape
from injury. Her passengers and
crew were very much excited.
While going out of the roads at Port
Arthur the Russian cruiser Novik got
between the Columbia and the Japa-
nese fleet. Shells, which passed over
the Novik. struck around the Column
bia. Her flag was cut into shreds
and one shell fell on her deck. The
faces of those who were on deck were
blackened with powder smoke.
naval officer who was recently at
Port Arthur says the Russians were
NOT prepared for the attack on their
ships and had insufficient steam up.
A boat patrolled the straits of Pc Chi
Lii continuously, but apparently the
Japanese torpedo boats were not no
tieed until after the first torpedo was
fired. The Russians fired, but the
Japanese did not return the fire and
backed off.
An hour later the discharge of tor
pedoes was repeated, after which the
torpedo boats withdrew some distance.
At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning the
Japanese fast cruisers circled within
view of the whole Russian fleet, but
they were not engaged.
The Russians returned toward the
harbor after an hour. The Japanese,
following, came within three miles. A
battle then began between the Russian
forts and fourteen ships and sixteen
Japanese vessels. A few of the Jap
anese shells were effective, but as far
as seen the Russian shells fell short.
The Japanese fleet was steaming to-
ward Dalny when seen last.
The steamer Columbia left just as
Tuesday mornings contest began and
was unable to learn the result.
1t is probable that the Japanese
feet was conveying twenty-six troop
ships from Sasebo to some port of
Corea.
Japanese are reported to be in pos
session of the southern portion of the
peninsula.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The central fig

Machen, former superintendent of the
rural free delivery division, occupied
the stand to-day.
He said he assumed responsibility for
the acts of Miss Liebhardt, his chief
clerk, who had initiated and signed
letters from his division. He rehearsed
the oil transaction, which has figured
so conspicuously in the trial, and said
that the $4,000 received from Lorenz
in payment of the Machen interest in
the oil property was a bona fide SALE
The Croft fastener, he said, had been
called to the attention of the depart
ment before he received his appoint
ment. He denied emphatically that up
to the time Mr.. Lorenz in August 1895,
spoke pf having an interest in the de-
vice, he had any suspicion of the fact,
and was equally emphatic in saying
that neither Mr.. Lbrenz nor the Groffs
ever influenced his action either in
placing the first order for the fasteners
or in any subsequent orders.

ALARM WAS CAUSED
BY A SECOND FIRE.

Baltimore, Feb 9.-Baltimore firemen
were called out again tonight by a
fire which broke out in the engine room
of Willis D. Gill & Sons extensive lum-
Der yard, beyond Jones Falls.
The fire, though on territory adjacent
to the original scene, was not in any
way a result of the big confagIation.
Three engine companies and the fire
boat Cataract responded, and in an
hour had the fire completely under con-
troll without extensive loss.
The reflection of the fire on the over
hanging cloud of smoke gave rise to
the rumor that fire had broken out in
the southern district, the big Skinner
ship yards, a mile from the fire area
being mentioned, but the report proved
unfounded.
