Sunday, having made the trip in IS
days. One of the members said to Il
correspondent of the Associated
Press:
The day after the outbreak of
hostilities, the authorities ordered
all non-combatants to leave Dalny,
in order to have as few mouths as
possible to feed in the event of a
siege. There were enough provisions
when | left to last eight months. We
passed continual stream of troop
trains going east
The Courier de Tien Tsin says that
in spite of the Japanese measures to
conceal their losses, it is known that
the battleship Yashima and the
cruisers Asama and Tokiwa have
been towed to Nagasaki to repair the
damages which they sustained.
Che Foo, March 1.-The Twenty
ninth Japanese infantry, occupying
Ping Yang, midway between Seoul
and the Yalu river, on Sunday met \
body of Russian cavalry scouts north
of PingYang and drove them back.
1t is estimated that 10000 Japan
ese troops have landed at Chemulpo.
The japanese sailors who manned
the merchant vessels which were
sunk at Port Arthur, on landing here
shaved their heads as mark of the
disgrace they felt at the failure Of
the project.
Port Arthur. March 1.-Gen. Stoes-
sci, commander of the garrison here,
has issued general order directing
the attention of the troops and
inhabitants to the fact that the Jap
anese intend to land and seize the
fortress The general declares the
japanese consider the seizure of Port
Arthur to be question of national
| honor
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1904-03-04

Fifteen Japanese warships furi-
ously bombarded Port Arthur from
10 until 12 o'clock this morning. The
Russian cruisers Novik, Askold and
Bayan, accompanied by four tor
pedo boats, steamed out to meet the
attack. They were, however, forced
to return. The Aslsold was in u sink
ing condition. The Novik was badly
damaged and torpedo boat was
sunk. The Russian battleship Ret
vizan was again damaged. The Jap
anese withdrew in good order"
This report shows repetition OF
the usual tactics of Japan and it is
thought that this attack was made
in bad weather, previous telegraphic
advices having reported severe gale
raging at Port Arthur. AS usual, the
Japanese did not remain long enough
off the harbor to enable the gunners
at the forts to get their range.
Again, also, the same three cruisers,
the Bayan, the Asltold and the Novik
came out to meet the attack, and
this suggests that either they were
the only effective ships in Port Ar
thur, or that the larger battleships
were unable to get out of port.
st. Petersburg, March direct
confirmation of the report from Hak-
odate, Japan, that Vladivostok is
blockaded by Japanese vessels can
not be obtained, but it is thought not
improbable. During the Japanese
landing operations in Korea Russian
warships to the north were n con-
stant menace and blockading them
would be the most effective means of
securing non-interference. For more
than a week no word has been allow
ed to come from Vladivostok.
The report from Lao Yang, Man
churia, that the Japanese feet has re-
ceived orders to attack and capture
Port Arthur at all costs, coupled with
the comparison of Port Arthur and
Sebastopol made by the Novoe Vrem-
va, has created profound impress
sion, and has added to the belief that
the japanese possibly intend to COM
mence land and sea operations
against Port Arthur sooner than was
anticipated.

at Dalny arrived in st. Petersburg on

Toxic, Feb. 27.-Vice Admiral
Togos attempt to bottle up the Rus
sian feet at Port Arthur by sinking
fleet of stone-laden merchant
steamers in the ltouth of the harbor
evidently failed, though the venture
caused no loss of life and the vessels
lost were not of great value.
Five ships were prepared by Vice
Admiral Togo for the attempted
blockade. Four are reported to have
been sunk, but the fate of the fifth
is unknown here. 1t is presumed
that it withdrew with the other Jap
anese vessels. The five vessels We're
filled with stone so as to make the
obstruction permanent and were
manned By volunteer merchant
crews.
Accompanied by four hattleships,
nine cruisers and numerous vessels of
the torpedo fiotilla, the stone-laden
steamers reached Port Arthur on
Wednesday. While the fleet engaged
the shore batteries the steamers
made dash for the mouth of the
harbor, directly under the Russian
guns.
Details of the attack have not been
received, but it is evident that the
Russian fire sank the steamers before
they reached the points planned for
their laundering by the japanese.
1t is said that all the crews of the
four vessels escaped in boats and
were picked up by the japanese tor
pedo boat destroyers. The report
that two of the torpedo boat destroy
ers were sunk by the Russians is de-
MED.
The naval department has received
n brief dispatch from the commander
of one of the torpedo boat destroyers
saying that no lives and no warships
were lost and that no damage was
inflicted by the Russians.

London, Feb. 27.-The Shanghai
serts that Port Dalny is being evacu-
ated by the Russians.
London, Feb. 2S.-The following
official dispatch has been received at
the Japanese legation here, dated
Toxic, February 2s:
"a number of the enemy's cavalry
appeared at a point 700 metres north
of Ping Yang, Korea. Our infantry
fired upon them, causing them to re-
treat"
st. Petersburg. Feb. ga dis
patch received here from Liao-Yang,
dated February 2S, says that Chinese
on the Galu river report that an ad-
vance guard of Russian cavalry which
has penetrated Korea for a distance
of about 200 versts across the river
had an encounter with n detachment
of japanese and that the japanese
were compelled to retreat and fed,
leaving their horses, which were
seized by Cossacks,
Toxic, Feb. 29.-As the campaign
progresses it seems that the chances
are growing simmer for great
tween the fleets of modern battle
ships which the world has long await
ed. 1t is believed here that the Rus
slams lack the strength to assume the
offensive and that they will probably
stick to Port Arthur to await n sea
and land investment. Whoever wins
the war, Port Arthur will cease to be
an important base.
Lack of details of formations. fir
ing ranges and evolutions prevent n
full understanding and appreciate ton
of Admiral Togo's tactics He seems
to be endeavoring to accomplish the
maximum destruction with the mini
mtrn of exposure. He is carefully
balancing those considerations and
relying upon superior mobility,
craftsmanship and ammunition. At
the outset the equality of naval
strength, the probable necessity of
| fighting the Russians under the bat
teries of Port Arthur, made extreme
caution essential. The loss of few
| ships would have endangered the ulti-
mate success of the japanese army,
hence the brevity of the engagement
of February and the avoidance of
! the engagement of the fortress.
These dashes, brief battles and
! speedy Withdrawals are novelty in
naval warfare which warrant the
consideration of strategists. Admiral
Togo's reliance particularly on gun
merry is fully warranted by his gun
ners clearly outshooting the Rus
| slams. He constantly fought at long
range, furnishing the enemy severely
and escaping without serious damage
| himself.

A Substitute for the austin n,u.

Columbus, Feb. s7.-The Austin
bill, providing for an increase of the,
salaries of superintendents of state
free employment bureaus from $1,000
to Sl,s00 and empowering the COVER
nor and n commission to increase
the number of such bureaus through
out the state, will be replaced by a
substitute bill next week. The new
bill will divide the state into five dis
tricts and empower the commission
to install bureaus within its discre-

ed in committee because of fear.
that excessive demand would be made
for bureaus by the smaller towns.

of Rochester, n. y, who said he rep
resented the entire invested capital

ton. There was not, he said, a manu-
facturer or a merchant that was not
trembling with fear and misgWing.
If the committee even reported this
bill he said. it would create panic.
