St. Petersburg, March 6.-Although
almost four weeks have elapsed since
the Japanese first attacked Port Ar
thur. here the war is considered hard
ly begun.
Heavy land fighting. upon which the
fate of the campaign depends. is not
expected much before the end of April.
by this timeRussia Will have In the
field. exclusive of the large army of
men required to guard the railroads,
four army corps, each with a cavalry
division and an artillery brigade. All
that has happened so far, or is going
to happen until these forces are in the
field. is considered. according to the
Russian views. to be nothing more
than the prologue to the real drama.
The Gripping of the Port Arthur
fleet was unfortunate in that It gave
the enemy command of the sea at the
very outset. 1t Is. however. of rela,
lively small Importance from the
standpoint of the main strategy OF the
war, whether Port Arthur stands or
falls. But as long as II holds out and
the fleet is harbored there 1t will con.
istitute a potential menace which will
restrict and hamper Japan's opera
tlons. and the Russians are determined
10 defend Port Arthur as heroically
as they did Sebastopol.
No large garrisons VIII be retained
there: 10000 men are as good as 1o0,'

JAPANESE ATTACK
Vl.ADIVOSTOCk

vlndlvostock. March CA fleet OF
1--WE Japanese battleships and two
cruisers appeared on this place Mt 1;25
O'Clock this afternoon and bombarded
the town and shore batteries for nifty
Eve minutes.
The fleet approached from the direc-
ton Of Askold island, at the east on
trance to Ussuri bay, and about thirty
two miles southeast OF Vladivostock.
Entering Ussuri bay the enemy
formed line OF battle. but did not ap-
pfonch TO close range.
They directed their FIRE against the
shore batteries and the town. but no
damage resulted, ns most OF their 200
ddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, commanded
by Generals vcrnonct and Artamon-
on. did not reply. awaiting closer ap-
proach of the enemy. The japanese
ilte ceased at 2;20 D. m. and the enemy
retired In tho direction OF Afkold Is
land.
simultaneously two torpedo boat de-
stroycra appeared near Askold Island
and two more near Cape Mnidel. The
Japanese ships were covered with ice.
Tho attack resulted In no loss 10 tho
liuAalnns. but cost the enemy 100000
roubles floo.000) In ammunition. Mos,
of the proIcctilcs were six and twelve
inch shells.
The population of vladlyostock was
warned this morning OF the presence on
tho horizon Of hostile fleet and tho
prospect Of attack during tho day, but

RUSSIANS GETTING READY FOR THE WAR,
WHICH THEY SAY HAS HARDLY BEGUN

whelming the Japanese and rolling
them back through Korea. 1t is real
lied that the vastness of the theater
of war will make the protection OF the
railroad the sole means OF transporta-
ton OF troops and supplies from Eu-
rope, one of the most difficult phases
of the Russian military problem. With
the Japanese in command OF the sea
there is always the possibly of their
landing small bodies of men in unex-
pected places to make incursions into
the interior to cut the railroad and
telegraph lines and blow up bridges;
but adequate measures are believed
to have been taken to guard against
such misfortune,
1t is a mistake to suppose that the
Russians underestimate the prowess OF
their adversaries. On the contrary.
they admit the fine craftsmanship OF
the Japanese and their marvellous abil-
ity in determining ranges: yet Rus
SLAMS do not believe that the Japan
ese can successfully face the legions
OF the Gar. on the sea the maritime
life OF the Japanese gives them a nat
ural advantage; but on land. where
belong all the traditions of the Rus
sian army. the men OF ,ne empire have
perfect faith born of their numerous
experiences with pagan tribes and the
fatalism inherent In the Russian char
acter. They believe that Asiatics can
not meet Europeans In battle array:
tnat yellow race cannot triumph
over a white or heathen over Chris
tians.

for eight months. In addition there
will be division of Cossacks with
mountain batteries on the peninsula
to oppose landing and harass the enc
my if they succeed in investing the
city.
Viceroy Alexieff still retains his
headquarters at Mukden, through
which 5000 or 1000 soldiers are pass
ing daily to the positions which the
main army will occupy. The Rus
slams believe that for military pur-
poses there is only one road over
which the Japanese can come from
Korea. All the troops landed at Che
mulpo, Mokpo and Chimnampo must
use the Picking road" Consequently
the landing at Plaksin bay and the
other places on the east coast of
northern Korea are not considered i'm
portant, the absence of roads prevent
ing these forces from combining with
the main body.
The Cossacks, mounted infantry and
light guns now across the Yalu river
will serve to harass the enemy in ev-
cry possible way. as well as to hold
him in check until the Russian main
armies and reserves are concentrated
and disposed. Sharp fighting may oc-
cur between the advance parties, but
nothing Of a decisive character is ex-
pected.

ing no chances on the score Of inferior
numbers. By sheer weight OF men and

wNDERs OF TEXAS
4 ALMOST UNKNOWN DISTRICT

Remarkable Box capon.-Hlgh Walls
Of Perpendicular Roek.-Masnifl-
cent View From Lofty chisos Noun
tains.
No more interesting area topo-
graphically and internationally is
found in Texas than that known as
tho Big Bend of the RIO Grande
Parts of this district have been
recently mapped by the United States
Geological Survey, acting in co-opera-
tion with the Texas Mineral Survey,
OF which DR.. w. B. Phillips is direct
or. The area under consideration
embraces portions OF four quadran-
giles lying partly in Texas and partly
in Mexico Only the Texas parts have
been mapped Special interest at
taches to these maps from the fact
that the area covered by them
includes the Terlingua quicksilver dis
trict and the territory of the recent
cinnabar finds near San Vincente and
Boquillas. f
The survey of this almost unknown
district has made known some striking
Topographic features. About ten miles
northwest OF Terlingua is a circular
area seven miles In diameter, called
Solitaire. It is formed OF huge,
curved strata of limo rock standing
nearly on edge and slanting inward
like the slaves of an inverted tub.
The depressed interior. though much
higher than the adjacent country, is
still about 1000 feet below the encir-
cling rim. The drainage from this
basin finds It's exit through two
impossible narrow box canons. 1t
is impossible to follow. even on foot,
the course of either of these curious
streams. Several volcanic necks and
series of quartz-capped buttes are
features of the basin. The highest
point is double peak on the south
west rim, which was used by the sur
veyors as n primary triangulation
point and named Fresno Peak.
Another feature worthy of note Is
the grand canon OF the Rio Grande
| distinguished from the many other
grand canons by the name Canon
| of Santa Helene. 1t is of the box
| type, with solid. perpendicular rock
walls. at the head Of the canon
| these walls are 500 feet high, at the
mouth 1900 feet. showing surface
slant of 1000 feet upwards, though
down stream. The river enters the
| canon at an elevation OF 1900 feet and
leaves It at 2,10O feet, falling about 20(
| feet in fifteen miles. A short but high
dam in the canon would form q lake
forty miles long and change the courst
o. the Rio Grande. sending 1t acros:
the fats within three miles OF Terlin
qua and down the valley OF Terlingua
creek. The canon presents picturesque
i possibilities for water storage.
