This fact was made known to Dis

Mr.. Sutton. who reports that the s.. 900
appropriated for his use the middle Of
last month viii be exhausted by Tues
day next, at the latest.
On January last, the Commissioners,
on suggestions from the Harbormaster.
asked Congress to appropriate $4,000 to
be devoted to keeping the river free or
Ice congress gave only hall Of the
sum asked This $500 has been care
expense OF charteTlng tugs to attack the
ice fields IS heavy.
If Congress had granted US the
$4,000 we asked last month" said Mr.
Macfarland today. we would not now
be confronted with the Inconvenience
that a further request for money will
necessarily entail. II IS easy to see the
importance Of this appropriation at as
early a date as possible. The safety
Of a great part OF the city may depend
on it.
Mr.. Sutton has done his best to make
the first $500 last, but II was impOs-

Russian base and the forces on the
Yalu, another japanese force Is re-
ported, resdy and planning 10 cut all
communication between the two Rus
sian forces.
What this signifies is clearly apparent
The Yalu force will have to fight its
battles without hope of aid from the
north. at lease for many days 10 come,
while the japanese have their troops in
practical battle array. with unlimited
opportunities for reinforcing from
Japan. both by land and also by trans
port along the coast.
Ruse at Port Arthur
It is for the prevention of the inter
ruption Of this latter facility that Japan
continues hzr attacks on Port Arthur
Had the blocking of the harbor Of Port
Arthur succeeded. instead OF being foil
ed, as is now admitted by the Japanese
themselves. the bombardment would not
have been necessary. for then no ships
could have escaped from the harbor to
haraSs the japanese transports along
the Korean coast Now, however, It IS
needful that a heavy force be kept at
the port, and a constant and close scru-
tiny be kept on the torpedo and other
hotilla in the harbor. that they do not
slip through the net and spoil the care
fully laid plans Of Admiral Togo
Regarding the inminence of the battle
on Korean soil. the military correspond
ent OF the Times echoes the opinion
prevalent in army circles In the follow
ing statement:
Unless tn - Russian destroyers at
Port Arthur can gain the open sea un-
observed, and reach the point of assem-
bly, Of the Japanese transports during
the critical operations of disembarlxa-
tion. there seems little chance Of inter-
ference with the japanese plans. The
present chance of an initial Japanese
success is too great to be disregarded
1t is a gift from the gods. If a COM
bined attack by sea and land can hope
to destroy the Russian force on the
Yalu, it would be flying in the face OF
fortune TO neglect the opportunity"
The Washington times., 1904-02-27

Assistant District Attorneys Keigwin
and Taggart held the contrary. saw.
ing that each count represented a sep
arate and independent crime for which
the court could infict punishment Nfr.
keigwin was the only represer tative OF
the Government in court when proceed.
ings began When asked by the court
what the District Attorneys office de-
sired in the way OF punishment. Mr.
keigwin said he was not prepared tc
argue that question. but that, in view OF
the seriousness Of the breach OF faith
on the part of the defendants. the
length of time Of the conspiracy and the
great amount Of money II netted, the
defendants should receive the full pen
atty on each count.
In Court Early. =
All of the defendants were in court
early tais morning to hear sentence pro-
nounced against them. All wore anx-
ious. worried looks. Machen had entire-
ly lost his rather debonnair and cynical
air, and IL was obvious that he had
keenly suffered from the verdict. His
face was redder than usual. his actions
were nervous, and he leaned forward at
times 10 listen with absorbing interest

the court could. under the indictment. in
fict a penalty Of two years and $4,000
for each Of the twelve counts.
Lorenz seemed to be the most unmov-
ed Of all the defendants. but his face
wore a worried, drawn look
Samuel A. Croft seemed to have SUI
fered more than any OF TIVE others. He
had aged considerably since the night
before, and his voice faItered as he
spoke. With IL all he maintained his
soldierly. dignified attitude.
Diller b. Croft was as phlegrnatic as
ever, except when he occasionally look
ed around the room.
"An Unparalleled Outrage
The defendants and their ATTORNEYS
were unanimous in asserting that the
conviction OF Sam Croft was an outrage
unparalleled in the history Of law. Not
for moment had the thought OF such
a contingency been entertained. and for
that reason a formal motion had not
been made TO have the court specifically
Instruct tho jury to acquit him.
The women Of the families OF the de-
PENDANTS. who have been in daily at
tendance. were not in the courtroom
this morning, and there were no women
among the spectators.

Japan COnlpeLS Enemy
To Fight on Defensive

LONDON. Feb. 27.-The Times mil
itary correspondent says;
''One must take the japanese pro-
ceedings at Port Arthur as an intima-
tion that decisive events are in progress
elsewhere and that the task allotted
to the navy is TO keep the Russian
squadron fully occupied in its own de-
fense.
No doubt there was an audacIous at
tempt on the night Of February % to
block the channel at Port Arthur, and IL

On the Defensive.
Even II these attempts were not
completely successful, they fulfill the
japanese navy's task Of claiming the
enemy to the strict defensive.
IF a report from Vladivostok is to
be credited. Vice AdmiraI Kamimura Is
now off the Russian coast line in the
north, and, should the report be con-
hrmed. the resulting increase in naval
tension would point to the striking Of

Unless the Russian destroycrs at
Port Arthur can gain the open sea un-

court took a recess:
The jury has rendered its verdict of
guilty on all the twelve counts in the
indictment. and I am in accord with
that verdict. I do not think the penalty
laid down in the statute for conspiracy

for each count. He said that such
ruling would place the defendant in a
criminal action at the mercy Of the
prosecutor. and opportunity would be
afforded for evading the maximum
penalty which the law intends to i'm

He pointed out that the indictment in

so as to contain fifty-six counts. in

be 112 years and $4,000 The conspiracy
