 The correspondent then describes the arrival and bleaching of the Russian ves- ses, which were at first supposed to have been in collision. But at twenty minutes of three, Russian naval officers boarded the Columbia in a great state of excite ment, saying the vieerey had ord red the Columbia not to attempt to leave. This was apparently done with the idea of preventing the ship from acuIainting the Japanese with ena eXfe.l of lhe damage.

The white-faced, gaping crews crowded forward on the decks of the dam . aged vessels and none of the Russian ships showed a disposition to chase the enemy or fire q single shot till the Japa- nese had departed at S20, when the Rus sians started in pursuit, going in short towards Port Dalny

HAULED DOWN FLAGS WITHOUT FIRING.

London, February 10.-In dispatch from Tien Tsin dated February g. a cor respondent of the Daily Mail says 1t is reported there that the Russian cruisers Variag and Korietz hauled down their flags without firing and that 5000 Japanese immediately landed at Chemulpo and the march to Seoul was commenced. It was reported from Pekin today that the Jap anese had disembarked at Chemulpo not withstanding the presence there of two Russian. warships and another dispatch from Che Foo said Japan had the Variag and the Koreitz caught at Chemulpo.
 Japanese troops also landed at all the chief ports of southern and western Ko- req One division of the Japanese guards holds Flu San and Chemulpo, and alto- gether three divisions of the Japanese guards, each of 12,0O0 men, have been mo- hilized

JAPANESE EFFECTED
 A COMPLETE SURPRISE.

They returned, however, at 9:15 without having fired. It having apparently oc- cured to them that the Japanese had ef- fected complete surprise, owing to their bad outlook, the Russians now have out side five effective battleships and five cruisers, besides smaller vessels, and sev- enteen torpedo boats.
 It was almost Ii o'clock when the Japa- nese squadron of sixteen, including five battleships, appeared in fine order.
 At 1;15 came the first flash from a Japanese vessel and a 12-inch shell land ed near the torpedo boats grouped near the entrance of the harbor. The aim was splendid.
 Owing to the confusion on the part of the quarantine officials or perhaps be- cause the Russians thought the Japanese would not like to fire near the British flag, the Columbia was close to the Rus sian fleet, and in the line of fire, and the Japanese shells fell thickly around her, several bursting nearby and strewing her decks with splinters and water. The cap- tain of the Columbia then got under way in spite of the protests of the Russian guards on board, and got his vessel out of range, making full speed for Che Foo.

Little Boy Accidentally Killed.

Anniston. February 9.-(special.) .)-Fri- day evening, near Baber & Hardy's saw mill, about six miles north of Edwards ville. little son of William Baber was instantly killed by the discharge of a breech-loading shotgun. in the hands of another boy. The whole load went into the breast of the Baber boy. The killing was accidental. It seems that Pat Baber and one of the Hardy boys had been out hunting and on returning home came by where the smaller boys were coasting on the hillside. and laid down the gun, when the small boy picked 1t up and caused 1t to be discharged in some way.

GROUNDED BATTLESHlPS
 BLOCK HARBoR ENTRANCE

The two battleships disabled are the Poltava end the Czarevitch. The disabled armored cruiser Poyaim and the ground ed battleships block the entrance to the harbor, preventing gunboats from going out and battleships and cruisers from going in and getting coal.
 Besides this Japan has the Russian gunboats yariag and Korez caught at Chemulpe They were bound for Vladi- vostock The Japanese fleet was under command of Vice Admiral Togo and con- sisted of four fast cruisers. the Chitez, Kasigi, Tagafage and Yoshima, which cir cled outside, drawing the fire of the Rus sians.

STEAMER COLUMBIA
 HAD NARROW ESCAPE.

Che Foo, February 9.-The British steamer Columbia, which arrived here to- day from Port Arthur, bringing news of the attack by the Japanese fleet upon the Russian fleet, reports that the Columbia had a narrow escape from injury. Her passengers and crew were very much ex- cited In regard to her dangerous posi- tions.
 While going out of the roads at Port Arthur, the Russian cruiser Novik got between the Columbia and the Japanese fleet. Shells which passed over the Novik struck around the Columbia. Her flag was cut into shreds and one shell fell on

RUSSIAN GUARDS WERE PRAYING FERvENTLY.

The Russian guards were praying fer venty and the Chinese crew of the ahip was frightened, but they worked well. Those on board the steamer feared the Russian batteries would sink them for disobeying orders, the captains repeated signals for permission 10 proceed having been ignored.
 The bombardment lasted until a quarter Of twelve The Japanese aimed thelr fire well, two shells bursting at the summit of one fort and a number on the cliff and the beach. All were heavy shells. Some of them emitted a yellow smoke. but from a majority came dense black smoke. Tho rate of fire on both sides was slow.
 Three Russian battleships were hit. but the extent of the damage could not be as- certained< Apparently no ship on either side was disabled. The Russian cruiser Novik fought pluck'ly. keering closer by far than any other Russian vessels to the Japanese, but the heavy fire concentrated on her compelled her to retire on the batleships. The other cruisers fought at first outside the line of battleships.

Che Foo. February 9-A member of the crew of the Columbia tells the story of the naval battle off Port Arthur:
 'The Columbia was lying in the roads surrounded by fourteen Russian battle ships and cruisers. At Il .SO o'clock Mon- day night a severe shock was felt on board the Columbia. The Russians inn mediately opened fire towards the sea. The firing lasted only short time.
 At o'clock more shocks were felt and the Russians again commenced firing. The Japanese did not return the fire. At o'clock two Russian battleships went in and were beached across the entrance of the karbor They were soon followed

JAPANESE DID NOT
 SHOW THEIR LIGHTS.

''1t cruised slowly outside without show ing lights. The Russians were lying in the roadstead, apparently feeling secure from attack. Nearly all the Japanese tor pedo boats were dispatched on their dan gerous and daring task. They rushed full steam on the enemy who were ccm- rletely surprised. A great rattle of small arms greeted the Japanese who, how ever, escaped unhurt, and the Retvizan, the Ccarovitch and the Pailada were al- most immediately torpedoed.
 ''The Japanese along the entire line of the Russians. were now exposed to a terrible fire from machine guns and small arms from both the ships and the shore. UTMOST CONSERVATION
 AMONG THE RUSSIANS.
 There was the utmost consternation among the Russians which &C., counts for the Japanese torpedo boats escaping practically unscratched. and re- joining the admiral outside. The admir- ars fleet during the attack kept out of range of the Russian searchlights.
 Line of battle was then formed and the Japanese fleet moved in within Q range of two and one-half miles and

 The Japanese fired on the ships and forts, which replied. Two Russian ships were struck by shells, but were only slightly damaged. The Russian fire fell short. The Columbia steamed away while the battle was in progress, but later saw the Japanese fleet leave. One Japanese cruiser with torpedo boats is reported off Che Foo

RUSSIANS FOUGHT
 WITH LITTLE FORMATION.

The Russians seemed to fight with lit- rie formation. but this was probably due to the cramped space they being never more than one ana half miles from the shore and under the guns of the forts, which fired over them. This firing. how ever. was not frequent.
 Before the action, the men on the war ships could be seer throwing beds and lumber overheard.

St. Petersburg, February 9.-An off cia dispatch received here says f1at Japanese torpedo boats have attacked the Russian squadron in the outer roads at Port Arthur and that three Russian ships were amazed. Admiral AIexieff's official report of the attack by the Jap anese is as follows:
 ''l most respectfully inform your majesty that at or about midnight of February 8, Japanese torpedo boats made sudden attack by means of mines upon the Russian squadron in the outer roads of the fortress of Port Arthur.

 "A Japanese squadron of fifteen battle ships and cruisers today began to bom- bard Port Arthur The fortress replied and the squadron weighed anchor in order to participate in the battle. third tel egram from the viceroy says that after a bombardment lasting one hour. the Jap anese squadron ceased its fire and steam ed southward.
 Ina tYta ..are two naval officers and fifty-one men wounded and nine men killed and on the coast batteries one man killed and three wounded
 During the engagement the battleship Polfava and the cruisers Diana, Askold and Movie were each damaged on the water line. The damage to the fortress was not important"
 Admiral Alexieff simplifying his first telegram to the czar on the torpedo action now telegraphs as follows:
 T most humbly report to your imperial majesty that the three injured vessels were not sunk, nor were their boilers or engines damaged. The Czarovitch receiv- ed hole in her steering department and her ridder was damaged; the Retvizan was damaged in her pumping apparatus under the water line, and the Pallada was injured amidship, not far from her en- zines.
 After the explosions, the cruisers hast ened immediately to their assistance and in spite of the dark night, measures were taken to bring the damaged vessels to the harbor. We had no losses in officers. Two marines were killed, five were drowned The enemy's torpedo boats re- ceived a heavy fire. Two unexploded tor- peooes were found after the attack"
