All Available Guns in Recen Years Have Been Used on
 Southern Stronghold
LAPS ARE MAKING MANY
 SACRIFICES FOR TROOPS
Expected That Japanese Troops Will Reach the YaIu About March 10, When a Clash Is
 Looked For.

London, March S.--In a dispatch from St. Petersburg a correspondent of the Standard gives rumor that the czar has received a telegram to the effect that the Japanese fleet bombarded Vladivostock all day Monday. According to this rumor only trifling damage was inflicted to the Russians, but one or two Japanese cruis- CTS were sunk.
 No word confirming this story has been received in any other quarter and al- though there is nothing to show there was not another bobardment of Vladivo- stock on Monday, this report is most likely an exaggerated version of Sunday s bombardment
 There is considerable curiosity here con- corning the resisting power of Vladivo- stock, which has long been regarded as the Gibraltar of the far east. Vladivo- stock is known to be better equipped as a naval base and to have greater dockage and repairing sources than Port Arthur, but doubts are expressed as to the char acter of its defenses. Russia has been settled there for forty years, and 1t is con- sequently considered likely that the dc- lenses at this place are of somewhat obsolete character, especially the guns
 Have Gone to Port Arthur.
 It is said that during the past few years all the available guns and war material which 1t was possible to send over the single line of the Trans-Sberian rail- road, have been used for the strength ening of Port Arthur, and points in Man churia, leaving Vladivostock with the old type guns of short range. It is reported that Vladivostock is lily supplied with provisions. No war news from the far east Is published this morning.
 Despatches from Tokio speak of the sacrifices being made by the Japanese na- tion. According to the Daily Chronicles correspondent at TolSio, the mikado is abandoning all luxuries the court is fol- lowing his example and all are going to live abstentiously until the war is ended.
 Going to Seat of War.
 The Kobe correspondent of the Daily Express says the crown prince of Japan and Prince Arisugava are going to the seat of war. Other dispatches say that public and private concerns are all cur tailng their expenses in order to aid the government in the prosecution of the war.
 According to the Che Foo correspondent of the Morning Post 1t is expected that the Japanese will reach the left bank of the Yalu about March 10 force of Russians is strongly entrenched on the hills in the Antung district adjacent, and parallel to the river. Their position is similar to that which the Boers held on the Tugela river

VLADIvOSTOCK NOT AS
 STRONG AS PORT ARTHUR
NICE QUESTION
 IS NOW DISCUSSED
WHEN BALTIC SQUADRON STARTS SOUTH, CAN FRANCE ALLOW THE VESSELS TO TAKE COAL AT HER PORTS?

Paris, March 7.-Diplomatic circles are discussing nice question of neutrality which will arise when the Russian Baltic fleet starts for the far east, which is ex- pected to occur early in the summer. The fleet will be accompanied by colliers, and it is understood that the French gov- ernment will raise no objection to the fleet coaling in French ports from it's own ships. After the fleet passes Jibutil, (French Somaliland), there are no ports until the fleet reaches Saigon, French Indo-Chirs, and 1t undoubtedly VIII put it at an Indian or Ceylon port for more coal.
 Then will develop the question 'can bell ligerent ships be allowed to recoal when their purpose is to attack the Japanese fleets, and will not such action be a vio- lation of neutrality?" A diplomat who expressed an opinion on the question pointed out that belllgerent ships could properly demand at a neutral port enough coal to enable them to reach the nearest home port and that in this case the nearest home port was Port Arthur. It was quite possible, the diplomat added, that Great Britain would decline to per- init the Russians to take coal except from their own colliers and even then probably not in British waters.

 Japanese Warships
MORE FIRING IS REPORTED
AIexieff Says Enemy Opened Fire On Two Russian Forts and That Two Persons Were
 Wounded.

London, March s.-Up to : late hour this evening the Japanese legation here had received no official information regarding the bombardment of Vladivo- stock. It Is believed at the legation, how ever, that the Japanese are now between the Russian cruiser squadron and Vladi- vostock, and there is reason to believe that the Russian squadron is in the vicin- ity of Possiet Bay.
 Russian official dispatches do not mem tion this squadron. and this fact lends color to the belief that the Japanese war ships have shut it out of Vladiyostock. It is pointed out at the legation that if this is true the Russian vessels are in cri- tical position, since they must run the gauntlet of the Japanese squadron off Vladivostock, or the Japanese squadron off Port Arthur before reaching a Rus sian port.

St. Petersburg, March 7.-Vlceroy Ale xieff has telegraphed the czar from Muk- den. under today's date, as follows
 Supplementing my telegram of March G.

 Seeing that further resistance was use less, and to avoid the killing of innocent persons, the authorities consented to the demand of the mob for the right man.

Fired Into Prostrate Body.

Nine shots were fired into his prostrate body, and satisfied that he was dead. dozen men grabbed the lifeless body, and with triumphant cheer the mob surged into Columbia street and marched to Fountain avenue, one of the principal thoroughfares of the town From nere they marched south to the intersection of Main street and a rope was tied around Dixons neck. Two men climbed the pole then threw the rope over the topmost crossarm and drew the body about eighteen feet above the street. They then descended and their work was greeted with a cheer.
 Tn fusilade then began, and for foit ty minutes the body was kept swaying back and forth from the force of the rain of bullets, which was poured in on it. Fre- duently the arms would fly up convulsive- ly when a muscle was struck, and the mob went wild with delight. Throughout it all perfect good order was maintained and everybody seemed in the best of hu- nor, joking with hLu neighbor while re- loading his weapon.
 Mob Was Orderly.
 During the greatest excitement around the jail, bricks and stones were hurled at the place, but withal, considering the intense feeling, and the large numbers congested in the small court yard, 1t was, If such a gathering can ever be described in this manner. well regulated, orderly and determined mob.
 The sheriff said the building was prac- tically impregnable and said he had a force of deputies and police inside. suffici- ent to defend the place for an indefinite time But events proved vastly different. He said he doubtless knew scores of the men in the crowd and it would be the hardest task of his life if he was com pelled to take the life of his neighbors. Only a small portion of the mob heard any part of his appeal to them to disperse and go home.
