BOOMING OF GUNS HEARD OUT.
SIDE HAR5oR.
II ls Believed Russian Port Arthur
Fleet Has Made Dash
For Sea.

Che Foo, Oct. 6.--3 q. m.-Shortly
after midnight this morning the boom.
ing of big arms was heard outside OF
the harbor of Che Foo and the can.
nonade quickly increased in rapldiLy
and intensity.
There is no doubt In the minds of
any of the people of the city here that
q great naval battle is in progress
outside of the harbor.
II is believed that the Russian feet
within the harbor Of Port Arthur made
its final dash for the open sea and
has been intercepted by the Japanese
warships. Others believe that tns
Russian vessels made an attempC to
reach the harbor of Che Foo where
they could dismantle after safely CON-
ing within the shield of its neutrality.
The Japanese vessels evidently how.
ever, were on the lookout.
No word of the progress of the bat.
tie has yet reached the city and there
is no indication of how the battle is
going.

has made a sortie from the harbor
and has engaged the Japanese squad

ton at the war Office where dispatches
have been received but no confirma-

All st. Petersburg believes however
that the Port Arthur feet has made
another dash for the open sea or for
the nearest neutral port and that the
japanese feet is endeavor1ng to pre-
vent the Russians escaping.

Connelsvl1le, Pa., Oct. 5.-Engineer
Archibald McFee and Brakeman w.
e. Keffer, of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad will apply to the Carnegie
commission for a share in the Car
negie hero fund. Last night, in the
yards here at great risk, they hauled
a blazing car to an isolated place and
with small buckets put out fire that
in few more moments would have
exploded 10000 pounds Of dynamite
with which the car was loaded.
The car was in the middle OF
train when the fire caught from a hot
box. Yard employees yelled that 1t
was a dynamite car and scattered in
all directions, Keffer uncoupled the
car and McFee stuck to his throttle
in order to save It. The men were
personally complimented for bravery
by the officials of the road.

worthy. Even while the British are
calling for the most energetic action
against Russia, some of the Russian
papers calmly continue TO dwell upon
the advantages of a Russo-British un-
Outstanding.
The Russian government has not re-
ceived through the American embassy
here any representations upon the sub
ject of the sinking of the Knight Com
mander or the capture of the Arabia
or other vessels having American goods
on board. Great Britain also has not
yet made a formal protest. but there IS
reason to believe that the general right
of warships to sink neutral vessels
claimed to have contraband on board
is being discussed both here and in
London and the seriousness of Such
acts will be emphasized in the pre-
sentation of the specific case of the
knight Commander. 1t may be that
there will be considerable delay on ac-
count of the lack of information upon
which to make an issue, as both the
British crew and passengers of the
knight Commander it is asserted here,
are held as witnesses on board the yes
sells forming the Nladivostok squadron.

that this flour was in no sense cOntraband

ARRIVES AT ALGIERS.
Steamer MaIacca Has Prize Crew on
Board.

Algiers, July 27.-The Peninsula and
Oriental Steamship COS. steamer Ma
lacca, which was seized in the Red sea,
July l6, by the Russian volunteer fleet
steamer st. Petersburg, has arrived
here with prize crew on board.
After proposed conference on board
the Malacca between the British and
Russian consuls and Capt. Schwartz
commanding the prize crew, it was an
nOunced that the Russian flag would be
replaced by the British at 6 o'clock, this
evening.
The orders to surrender the Malacca
We're evidently n complete surprise TO
Capt. Schwartz, who Immediately af-
ter his arrival, notified the French nav
al authorities that he required 600 tons
of coal and a good supply Of water and
provisions to take him to Libau, in the
Baltic. 1t was not until an hour later
that the Russian consul, NJ. TowaiZev-
sky, boarded the Malacca and informed
Capt. Schwartz of the settlement of the
difficulties regarding the Malacca since
the vessel sailed from Port Said. The
prize crew will be landed, this evening.
Lodgings were provided for the crew by
the French naval authorities. The Ma
lacca's British crew recently arrived at
Marseilles and it is expected that they
will be summoned to take charge of the
ship which will resume her interrupt
ed voyage eastward.
1t transpires that during the Malac-
cas- voyage in the Mediterranean to
this port, two British warships escort
ed her for short time and then disap-
peared.
