 ''The first fleet of torpedo destroyers left for Port Arthur February Il in spite of a heavy storm of wind and snow. At 3 o'clock on the morning of the 14th the fleet attacked the Russian warships and was fired upon, in spite of which the destroyer Asakiri torpedoed a Russian man of war and escaped safely. At o'clock the same morning another des- troyer, Hayatori, went close to the en- trance of the port, where two Russian warships were stationed. One of them was torpedoed and 6 safe return was made"
 London, Feb. H.--The correspondent nt Che Foo of the Paris edition of The New York Herald, in a dispatch In which he reports the arrival of junks bearing Jap anese wounded from the Port Arthur en- gagement of February 1l, considers this to show that something more than a torpedo attack took place there.
 The correspondent at Tolxio of The Standard reports that two battleships were destroyed in this attack, while the correspondent at Tientsin of. The Stand ard says under date of February II that a private dispatch from Port Arthur brings the statement that the Russian squadron has again put to sea.

Tol<io. Feb. 17.-A heavy storm spared the Russians from desperate attack at Port Arthur on the morning of Sun day, the l4th instant. During the pre- ceding night the Japanese fiotifla of tor pedo craft were parted by the force of the wind and waves in a biinding snow- storm, so that only two of the larger de- stroyers succeeded in forcing their way through the fierce gale to Port Arthur. When they arrived there they attacked separately and one of them is confident 1t succeeded in torpedoing a Russian warship. One destroyer Asargiri. in charge of Lieutenant Commander Ishi- kawa. arrived off Port Arthur about o'clock the same morning. and was met by a sharp fire from the fortress and ships acting as scouts. The Asargiri dis charged several torpedoes at a big war ship, but the result is unknown, and she fought the scouting vessels with guns until they withdrew.
 The destroyer Heyatory. Lieutenant- Commander Takenouchi. arrived two hours after the Asargiri, and ran up close to the mouth of the harbor, where she found two warships. names unknown. She fired torpedo at one and the tor pedo exploded. Ishikawa is certain he hit the ship.
 Admiral Togo. in reporting the attack. says. although the results are unknown. he feels sure the moral effect upon the enemy will be excellent.
 Commander Nagai commanded the en- tire torpedo fiotiila. The number of the craft engaged and the point of their de- parture is concealed. the simple state mfnt being that they left their base of operations on January 30.

ICE cHoKEs HARBoR.
Navigation is Interferred With at
 New York.


 New York, Feb. 17.-Not for many years have the harbor and rivers been so choked with Ice as they were today. Much of the dificulty was due to the fact that several large boats were sent up the North River to break the ice, and the detached masses floating down to the serious interference of navigation. At many of the Jersey City ferries 1t was necessary to keep tugs in service to clear away the ice that ciogged the slips and interfered with the landing ferry boats.
 The South Brooklyn ferry and the South Street and Hamilton Street ferries were obliged to suspend their service this af- ternoon. The suspension of the ferry ser vice diverted great crowds to the Brook lyn Bridge. where the congestion was very serious during the evening ru5h hours. Fnlly one-third of the harbor tugs that ventured out were disabled by in- juries to the propellers by the Ice hoes.
