basing their deductions upon recent
development there. are OF the opinion
that another grand assault Is either oc-
curing at the present time or Is immi-
nent- This opinion is based on the very
heavy bombardment OF the Russian
stronghold that occurred on Sept 18th.
FOR such a bornbardment forms the usn-
al prelude % an assault: on the arrival
here OF important messengers from
Port Arthur az a time when the run
Ming OF the blockade is extremely per-
ilous: on a recent authoritative state
ment that japanese siege works are
completed. and on reports from Japa-
nese sources that at Port Dalny an as
salt was expected 10 take place in =
few days. These reports were received
last week
In addition 70 the foregoing there IS
the common knowledge that the Japan
csc realize that their continued mac
t.vity increases the resisting OF the
Russian garrison. and their consequent
desire to make such period OF inactiv-
ity as brief as possible.

chwang Situation Grave.

Washington, Feb. 19.--It is said Sec
retary Hay has received dependable,
although unofficial information, that
Russia Is preparinz 10 rstaliafa
against the United States for what is
considered to be the open friendship
manifested for Japan. This may not
go further than commercial discrimi-
nation, but there are Indications that
relations between the United States
and Russia may become severely
strained before the Far Eastern war IL
Terminated.
Much irritation is felt at st. Peters
burg, according to the information
said to have been received. The first
method in which it win be formally
displayed. If advices prove authentic,
will be barring OF the American Con
suls recently accredited to Dalney,
Mukden and Antung. These ports
We're recently proclaimed by China
as open to trade. When the C0nsuls
reach these places exequateurs will be
refused and no recognition win be
given them. What action this Gov.
eminent will take in such an event has
not yet been determined.
The making OF Wiju a free port BY
Corea, as announced today by Minis
ter Allen from Seoul is believed 10
have resulted from representations
made by Japan, and Is expected still
further to irritate the Russian govern
ment. 1t was apprehension that Rus
sia might not receive the Consul to
Antung that influenced Secretary Hay
to seek the opening OF Wiju, which is
directly across the Yalu river from
Antung.
Consul Miller is looking after Jap
anese interests at Niu Chwang. A
number of Japanese women are re-
ported to have been outraged by Rus
SLAMS and the possibility of serious
trouble over this matter is admitted
by the State Department Mr.. Miller's
instructions are not to recognize Rus
sian authority at Niu Chwang as SUI
perior to that of any other power.
This has led to considerable dissen-
ton IN the past and will prove more
irritating in the future, as Russia. is
supposed to have occupied the latter
port.
Niu Chwang is recognized by the
United States as belonging to China.
The gunboat Vicksburg is at that
port. She carries 175 blue jackets and
40 marines, who can be landed to pro-
tect Consul Miller if trouble arises.
