Japanese Make Another At.
tack on Port Arthur, and
ptu Russian Cruiser
Out of Business.

The valiant Japs made anoth
or attack on Port Arthur last
week, and succeeded in sinking
Russian battleship. The dis
patch which tells of the battle
comes from Berlin, and fails tc
give the name of the ship which
was disabled.
dispatches from st. Petersburg
affirm that the Russian who sold
to Japan information concerning
the location of supplies and am
munition has been hanged as a
traitor.
The report that the American
ambassador at ST. Petersburg
was requested to intervene on
behalf of the Japanese now in
Russia seem to be without foun-
datioa.
An informal meeting of the
foreign consuls at New Chwang
was held recently for the purpose
of discursing means to secure
protection for the property of
neutrals at that place. The place
is snrround by the Russian SOL
diers, who have breastworks and
batteries at the railway station
and on the east side of the river
Lie, and also at the fort on the
west side, The American resi-
dents Of the place, fearing that
the United States gunboat Hell
ena is to be WITHDRAWN, have tel
egraphed Minister Conger at
Pekin requesting that a United
States man-of-war be kept in
constant commission for the pur-
pose of protecting the property
of American citizens which may
be endangered by the battles in
sidental to the great war which
is now in progress.
A dispatch from Seoul reports
4 skirmish between small detach-
nents OF the Russians and Jap
anese armies at Anje. One Jap
snese soldier was killed in this
light.

A SMALL FIRE.

A small fire, which if left un-
disturbed would probably have
result in a serious conflagration
was discovered by Police Officer
Smith about ten O'Clock Thursday
night, and was promptly extin-
guished by the fire department.
the hand grenades being used.
This fire was in the the smoke
house in the rear of II. Silber-
burg's meat market, and when
discovered was making good
headway. This smoke house is
surrounded by buildings, many
of which are extremely old and
constructed of matrrial of an in
flamable character, and if the
flames had not been SO promptly
discovered and exringuished the
entire block would doubtless
haye been consumed.
