Japanese torpedo boat approached

ADMIRAL TOGO MAKES REPORT
OF THE SUPERIOR STRATEGY
Used in eOyng Russian Fleet From Under Guns OF Port Arthur

Washington, April 1.-THE Japan
ese legation tonight received the fol
lowing cablegram dated Toxic, Apri
l6: Admiral Togo reports the com
bined fleet as previously planned
commenced on the eleventh of April
the eighth attack ON Port Arthur. The
fourth and fifth destroyer flotillas ant
the fourteenth torpedo flotllla ant
Kerro Maru reached the mouth o
Port Arthur at midnight of the 18th
and effected the laying of mines al
several points outside of the por:
defying the enemy's searchlight. The
second destroyer fotilla discovered al
dawn of the 18th, one Russian de
stroyer trying to enter the harbor
and after ten minutes attack, sunk
her. Another Russian destroyer was
discovered coming from the direction
Oh Liao-Tishan, and was attacked, but
she managed to flee into the harbor,
On our side no casualties except two
seamen on the lkaZuchi slightly
wounded. There was no time to
rescue the enemy's drowning crews as
the Bayan approached The third fleet
reached the outside of Port Arthur at
a. m when the Bayan came out and
opened fire. Immediately aiterward
the Novak, Askold, Diana Petropav-
losk Pobieda and Poltava came out
and made an offensive attack. Our
third fleet hardly answering, and grad
ually retiring, enticed the enemy ilf
teen miles southeast Of Port Arthur
when our first fleet, informed through
wireless telegraphy from the third
fleet, suddenly appeared before the
enemy and attacked them While the
enemy was trying to regain port a
battleship of the Petropavlosk type
struck mines laid by us the previous
evening, and sunk at 10:30 a. m. AL.
though another ship was observed to
have lost freedom of movement, the
confusion of the enemy's ships pre-.
vented us from identifying her They
finally managed to regain port. Our
third fleet suffered no damage and the
enemy's damage besides the above
mentioned was possibly slight also.
Our first fleet did not reach firing dis.
lance. Our fleets retired at p. m.
prepared for another attack. They
resailed April IA, toward Port Arthur
The second, fourth and fifth destroyer
tlotillas and ninth torpedo flotilla also
joined at a. m and Z a. IN. No en-
emys ship was found outside Port Ar
thur. Our first fleet arrived at Port
Arthur at a. m. and discovered three
mines, laid by the enemy and destroy

SERVICE
THE L. E. & w. TALKING ABOUT
INTERURBAN SERVICE
ON ALL OF ITS LINES
Cars to be Run From Lafayette to

Etc.
ON ALL OF ITS LINES

Word was given out at Indianapo-
lis yesterday that III a. Boomer, as
sistant general superintendent of the
l.. +. & w. with headquarters
at said city that it probably would
be only month or two until the L.
E. & w. would have interurban SER
vice on all of it's lines that parallel
electric traction lines. The service, as
now planned, will be hourly and the
cars will be new day coaches equipp-
ed with gasoline engines.
The innovation is due to the SER
vice competition of the traction lines.
Electric railways parallel about $50
miles of L. E. & w. track in this
state. No freight or express will be
carried on these new cars.
In view Of the above facts, the
proposition Of the c. G. & r. Trac-
ton Co., becomes doubly valuable to
us. One of their strongest points is
that they will run from four to eigh-
teen miles from any paralleling road
and never will in the future be con-
fronted with this kind of competition
which makes their investment as to
bonds and stocks doubly secure, to
that Of any other proposition where
a steam road is in competition. This
will no doubt appeal strongly to
everyone interested in their PROPOSE

GOOD PROGRESS MADE

Indianapolis, May 1S.-The weather
during the past week was favorable
for farm work and much was accom-
plished. 1t was too cool for best re-
suits, however, there being but one
day with mean temperature above nor
NAL, and the deficit for the week aver
aged 7 degrees daily. Frost was de-
posted On the 18th, no damage; freez-
ing temperatures occurred in the north
half of the state on the 10th, damage
not known. Light showers on the 10th,
18th and 15,h were generally benefi-
cial.
Good progress was made in prepar-
ing ground and planting corn. With
the exception of comparatively small
areas of bottom land in the south por-
ton of the state, which are still too
wet to plow, ground is in good condi-
ton and easily prepared for seeding.
Oats are coming up slowly, but
where up show good stands.
Spring sown clover also shows good
stands, except that it was badly
punched" by the March winds. Old
clover, having suffered during the win
ter, is only fairly promising, and the
fields are becoming weedy.
Timothy and pastures are doing fair

ing and has improved in appearance,
and in a few localities in the central
and north sections, some fields of
wheat are reported as promising
slightly more than half crop, but, as
previously indicated in these bulletins,
the acreage in wheat has been greatly
reduced and that left standing, as a
whole, is very unpromising.
Latest reports concerning peaches
indicate that, notwithstanding all are
killed in some localities and only seed,
lings are left in others, the prospect
for that fruit is better than heretofore
reported. The outlook for a crop of
cherries is fair, and for all other fruit
excellent.
The temperature has been too low
for tobacco and tomato plants; they
are small.
