PREPARATIONS COUNT.
Many Nations Are Busy With Their

Many Nations Are Busy With Their
Armaments.
London, Feb. 19.-Little Far East
ern news appears in the press this
morning. with the exception of official
dispatches, and the comment is made
that the official reports of Viceroy
Alexieff and others are remarkable
mostly for what they leave unsaid.
These reports attract far less Itten-
ton than does the significantly frank
Russian proclamation, asking the peo-
pie to be patient until the army is
ready to strike blows worthy of the
dignity and might of Russia. The
threats in this document are comment
ed upon by the British press in tones
of considera BILE irony.
1t is now believed both in London
and on the continent that Viceroy
Alexieff has decided to fall back on
Hardin, practically abandoning Port
Arthur, Vladivostok and the whole of
Southern Manchuria to the Japanese,
and that he is perhaps hoping that the
reduction of Port Arthur and Vladi-
vostok will occupy the enemy while he
is concentrating his forces at Hardin.
The papers this morning comment
upon the activity which is seen at
Woolwich and elsewhere in refitting
the navy in preparation for any emer-
gency. 1t is admitted that the manu-
facturers of fixed ammunition have
been working night shifts since Christ
mas, and that all the surplus obsolete
war material on war vessels at home
and abroad is being replaced as rapidly
as possible. Especial interest attaches
to the equipment of sixty battleships
with the new 12-inch wire steel guns,
said to be the most modern and most
powerful guns in existence.
Similar reports of military activity
are received from other countries. For
instance, even Spain is preparing for
possibilities.

THE LINER PALLANZA
HAD FIRE ON BOARD.
A Chapter of Accidents Marked Her
Transatlantic Voyage.

Halifax, N. s., Feb. 1S.-After near
ly laundering on one side of the At
lantic, the Hamburg American liner
Pallanza, which arrived to-day from
Hamburg was seriously threatened by
a fire which broke out when the
steamer was within 500 miles of the
American coast
For five hours the crew worked with
unabated energy to subdue the flames,
which ragged in the cargo, and finally
conquered them by the injection of
steam into the hold. Although there
was intense excitement among the 1876
passengers, there was no panic.
The fire was discovered in the morn
ing of the 18th while the Pallanza was
laboring i'm a heavy gale. Within a
few moments great volumes of smoke
from the burning cargo We're pouring
out of the hatchways. Several lines
of hose were sent down and great
quantities of water pumped into the
hold. The water apparently made but
little impression upon the flames.
Then steam pipes were led over to
the hatchway and sent down, and
three hours later the flames began to
subside. When it was announced an
hour later that that fire was under
control the passengers broke into pro-
longed cheers.
Starting from Hamburg Jan. 10, the
Pallanza's trouble began before she
was scarcely clear of the European
coast. on Jan. rs she encountered a
westerly gale that tore the guys from
the smokestack and broke the funnel
at its base. So furious was the gale
that it was impossible for the steamer
to lay to, and her head was kept into
the storm while the crew by hard
work secured the funnel with tackles
Two days later another gale was en-
countered which ripped off the deck
ladders, carried away several boats
and smashed a portion of the bridge.
Capt. Schaarmberg decided to put
into the Azores, and arrived at St.
Michaels on Feb. 2. After making re-
pairs the Pallanza proceeded.
Nearly all the passengers landed
here, but few will remain and go
with the ship to Baltimore.

counting the details of the fight of Feb.
O at Port Arthur, was given out to-day
If enumerates the Russian casualties,
and Saws it is known that number of
Jananese ships suffered severely, which
accounts for their not following up the
attack
The viceroy's dispatch is dated Feb.
Is, ana SAYS:
after the night torpedo attack the
Japanese fleet, consisting of sixteen
Yarships, entered at 10 o'clock in the
morning off Port Arthur. Its appear
ance was noted by the coast signal
stations, as we'll as by the ships of our
squadron. which lay in the outer road
stead, fully prepared for battle.
Our squadron consisted of five bat
tleships five first and second class
cruisers and fifteen torpedo boats. UNI
der the command of Vice Admiral
Stark and Rear Admiral Ukhlonski.
The coast batteries Immediately pre-
pared to receive the enemy. Our
SQUADRON weighed anchor in order of
battle and upon the first shot being
fired by the enemy the fleet and bat
teries replied simultaneously, with
lively cannonade.
1.-THE most exposed to the enemy's
fire were the ships of the squadron,
Battery No. IS on Electric Cliff, and
Battery No. 10 on Golden Hill. Other
coast batteries principally numbers IL
and is. were also under fire."
The dispatch gives a fun list of the
ships taking part in the fight which in
cludes the Czarevitch. Retvizan and
PaIlada, injured in the torpedo attack
of the night before. The dispatch con-
tinuas:
throughout the fight the torpedo d.
vision lay to the right of the squadron,

ing orders.
1.-The land batteries We're under the
general direction of Mai. Gen. Baloff,
commander of the Kwan-Tung garri-
son of artillery. 1t is still difficult to
ascertain the result of the battle but,
according to observations made by
our ships. it MAY be assumed that sew
era1 vessels of the enefny's feet sus-
tanned damage, which explains why
they avoided further fighting, although
they were much superior to US in
strength"

Our losses were: OF the squadron.
