KEEPING THEM BUSY.
Japanese Naval Object at Present
Seems to Be to Neutralize the
Russian Fleet.


London, March 1.-The Times mill
tary correspondent writes:
One must take the japanese pro-
ceedings at Port Arthur as an intima-
ton that decisive events are In prog
ted to the navy is to keep the Russian
squadron fully occupied in it's own de-
Tense. No doubt there was an au-
dacious attempt on the night of Febru-
airy 70 to block the channel of Port Ar
thur. 1t seems a fair conclusion hat
the entrance was only INSTRUCTED and
not closed. General Plug reports a
renewal Of the attack February "a,
without details.
Even II these attempts were not
completely successful, they fulfill the
japanese naVy's task Of claiming ahe
enemy to a strict defensive policy. If
the report from Vladivostok is to be
credited, Vice Admiral Kamimura is
now on the Russian coast line in the
north, and should the report be con-
firmed the resulting increage of naval
tension would point to the striking Of
the hour of commencement of serious
operations on land. Unless the Russian
d~estroyers at Port Arthur can gain
the open sea unobserved and reach he
point OF assembly of the Japanese
transports during the critical operation.

United States Was Willing.
New York. Feb. 27.-lt was announced
in the Associated Press dispatches from
Washington, February "a, that the
Commercial Gable company had ad-
dressed inquiries to the government as
to whether permission could be secured
to land on the Island of Guam a cable
connecting with Japan. This cable
would connect at Guam with the pres
ent Pacific Commercial cable TO the
United States.
1t vas said the request was based
on the apprehension that the existing
Japanese cables boil of which run to
Shanghai, might be cut during the
present difficulties and Japan thus be
isolated from the world. In consider
Ing the request the government was
said to have reached the conclusion
that its assent would not involve a
breach Of neutrality. taking the ground
that a cable is a commercial instru-
ment like a mail ship.

FOOD GOING HIGHER.
New Workers Find Eating Is a Very
Expensive Luxury and Get
tine More So.

New York, Feb. ALPHABETICALLY all food.
stuffs, except eggs, have reached extreme
ly high prices In this city, owing largely
to unfavorable weather. Prices which
were thought to be high a week or two
ago now look reasonable for nearly every
thing that reaches the table.
Fish, clans, oysters and Holsters are
most affected by the severe winter. Oys-
tiers never have been SO scarce. none com
ing to the market, except from Providence
river beds. HOLSTERS, which nave been
growing scarcer for years, are now hard-
~ obtainable.
There is a fairly ample supply of cod
and haddock, but the fresh fish, that is.
fish not frozen and transported a consid-
cradle distance, are scarce. Potatoes,
BEANS, cabbage, %lentils, beets and other
vegetables are higher than they have
been for years. Bread and rolls are being
raised In various parts OF the city. and
concerted action along this line probably
will be taken at a meeting to be held next
Monday.
In the tensSnent house section. where
lentl soup, cabbage, beans and potatoes
are staple articles OF food. the peddlers
even have raised their prices a couple
OF cents on each article sold.

ARE GUT OFF FROM BASE
Landing Force at Possiet Bay Has
Placed tho Russians in Bad
Piisht-Face Surrender
or Defeat.

London, March 2~.--England is waking
up to a new surprise in the oriental
a 1t is asking Itself If Japan Is
getting ready to do. or even has already
half accomplished, a turn on land that
will be so brilliant as to pale che
achievement Of the initial naval victor
les.
There is evidence that this Is to be-
accomplished. The strategists are
studying the war maps with utmost;
eagerness. They are putting together
the things they know and those they
suspect. In the effort to calculate the
real motif of Japan's land campaign
The more they study it the more they
incline to believe that Russia, with her
eyes wide Open, has been caught nap
ping on the Yalu just as she was caught,
at Port Arthur. {.
1t Is plain that Russia was not look
ing for the Japanese move against
Vladivostok, any more than the rest OF
the world was. It Is accepted in all
quarters hat the meager reports Of
Japanese activities in that region are
correct. for the silence and secrecy pre-
served about the movements of the
Japanese transports indicate that
troops have been at other places than
the Korean points from which reports
have been obtained.
Between Two Fires.
1t is believed by many military men
that Russia now has an army tf from.
90, 900 to $4,000 men strung along the
Yalu. with a superior japanese force
In front and an equal Japanese force
In the rear. Cut off from cOmmunica-
hons. the Russians are faced with the
necessity of fighting or surrendering.
To fight means defeat. To surrender,
means humiliation and an almost GER
tain Japanese victory in the a 1t
would be impossible for Russia. If this
army We're destroyed, successfully to
continue a defense of Manchuria. The
railroad, ~Nladivostok, Hardin, Mukden
and Port Arthur would be lost to her.
Her attention would be p%erilous in the
extreme.
The Japanese army landed in Ii
Possiet bay neighborhood Is supposed
to be closing in on the rear of the Rus
SLAMS. 1t Is thought the Russians must
be whipped in decisive engagement or
surrender. Distance from Hardin is so
great that reinfOrcements scarcely can
reach them in time to be of service.
Cut OF From Base.
There is nothing to prevent Japan
from adding to the strength of either
of her armies, and with q base. of sup
plies on the coast above the Yalu and
one at Ping Yang. the Russians along
the Yalu are considered to be in a post

Coupled with the news Of a successful
Invasion Of Manchuria at a point least
expected by Russia reports come from
~Vladiyostok, the Rus.'..n base in the

sumably Japanese, was seen off there
on Wednesday. but vanished In the fog.

WHY THEY ARE CLOSE.
.aron Hayashi Says Japan Must Be
Secretive, and They Don't Want
the World to Disapproye

london, Ms rich I'm reference to the
severity of the censorship exercised by
the Japanese government over the
news dispatches of foreign correspond
ents, Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister to Great Britain, said to the
Associated Press today:
II hay had numerous representations
from English and other newspapers
upon this subject, but l believe that our
position in the case is not only right,
but will be admitted to be such by those
who look carefully into the circum-
Etances.
I'VE are fighting against numerical
odds. which are quite out of proportion
to the odds against any combatant in
recent wars. We are fighting for our
existence, and our only hope of MAIN,
tanning it is to strike swiftly and se-i
cretly at the beginning. To get in the
first blow means more to us than. II
think, it has ever mean to any bel
llgcrent. and to insure hat it is vital
for us to demand a degree of secrecy!

China and Russia Different.
when we fought China we gave the

teriaIIy Relieved.
A large number of children who were
on the waiting list Monday were yes
terday given seats in the public schools
of the city. Wherever vacant seat
appeared notice was sent at once to one
of the waiting children, and in this
way many were seated. No report later
than that published yesterday in the
Morning News regarding the total en-
rollment has been given out.
Supt. Ashmore hopes to materially
relieve the congestion in the schools
before the end of the week, and with
the exception of the Anderson Street
School, such result seems certain.
Here the congestion is greater than at
any of the other schools, and at pres
ent 1t appears that many will be kept
waiting for some time, or will be COM
PEELED to come farther into the city for
seats.
The work of the schools moved off
smoothly and the programme was car
ried out as had been announced. By
the end of the week complete reports
will have been filed from all the schools
and everything will have settled down
into the regular routine work.

MATE OF THE "PAULSEN"
RESCUED NEGRO BOY.
Boat Overturned and Mates Pres
ence of Mind Saved Negroes Life.

Boat Overturned and Mates Pres
ence of Mind Saved Negroes Life.
The presence of mind of John
E. Jussely, mate of the tug Jacob
Paulsen, yesterday morning saved the
life of small negro known as Willis,
who had gone out with him in a skiff
to put a pilot aboard the schooner Eva
B. Hail.
The tug Paulsen is acting as pilot
boat. Capt. Brown sighted the schoon-
er preparing to enter the harbor. Fol-
lowing the usual custom the pilot
boat put out toward the vessel and
lowered the skiff to send a pilot out TO
the schooner.
The skiff was in charge of Mate
Jussely, and besides the pilot he had
with him the boy Willis. The trip to
the schooner was made safely and the
pilot was put aboard and the mate
and his small negro companion started
back to the tug. They had proceeded
short distance from the schooner
when a heavy swell partially over
turned the boat. Before the occupants
could save themselves a second swell
turned it completely over, the boat
being directly over the men. Jussely
is a strong swimmer and at once
dived from under the boat, to which
he chung.
He waited an instant for the negro
boy to appear, and when he did not do
so, left his own place of safety and
dived for the boy. He was fortunate
enough to reach him on the first dive,
and brought him to the surface, weak,
but conscious.
The two climbed to the top of the
overturned skiff and chung there until
the schooner drifted down upon them
and took them aboard.
