HEAVY BoMBARDMENT.
Reported Russian Activity and Many
Big Guns Fired.

GEN. OKU'S HEADQUARTERS, via Fu-
SAN January 6.-During the last three
days the Russian bombardment has been
the heaviest in six weeks. For two days
following the fall of Port Arthur hardly
a shot was fired. Since then many heavy
guns have been brought into use and
there has been firing almost constantly.
The front is unchanged and there is no
indication of movement being made In
the near future. The Japanese are using
their searchlights in the great rejoicing
and nightly celebrations of the fall Of
Port Arthur.
Spectators Alarmed at Peace Talk.
LONDON, January 6.-Speculators who
have been selling Russian and Japanese

mors of peace, have been insuring against
an early termination of the war. Both
yesterday and today policies were taken
out at Lloyds against a cessation of hos
tilities prior to April 80. Yesterday thirty
gutneas per. cent was charged by the
underwriters but owing apparently to
the belief that the prospects Of peace are

influential part of the syndicate, have
directed their correspondents here not to

ments may be granted to American in

CADETS COMING
Will March With Middies at
Inaugural.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS
o. A. SoNTAG WILL PUBLISH Of
FICIAL PROGRAM AND HISTORY.
Many Reports in Preparation--Leaders
Await Action Of Congress
More Applications.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS

1t has been decided by the Secretaries
of War and the Navy to have the corps
of cadets of the United States Military
Academy at West Point and the corps of
midshipmen of the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis In this city March
4 next in order to participate in the in
augural parade and other ceremonies. The
officials of the War and Navy Departments
are now arranging the details of the visit
of the two military corps. Although lot
finally settled it is probable that the army
cadets and the naval midshipmen VIII
leave this city shortly after the completion
of the inaugural parade and that neither
corps will attend the ball in the evening.
The West Point boys will probably arrive
here Friday evening and take their de-
parture the next afternoon. The Annapolis
midshipmen Will arrive here Saturday
morning and leave the same afternoon.
The idea of bringing the West Point Cadets
here the night before is to obviate the ne
cessty of having them spend the night in
railroad cars.
Knowing that the question OF the use of
the pension building for the inaugural ball
will not be brought up In Congress until
next Monday the members of the legisa-
tive committee of the inaugural COMMITTEES
are resting their oars. confident that
by next Monday afternoon success VIII
have crowned their efforts. All of the
leaders are confident that the matter Will
be put through favorably and without fur
ther delay.
Several important reports are in course
of preparation, and al the meeting of Ipe
inaugural committee yesterday the plans
received a material and encouraging i'm
petus.
One Matter Definitely Settled.
One of the most important duties of tile
committee has been completed-that is ID.
say, such action has been taken to re-
lieve the committee OF worry in so far as
the official program Is concerned. The
award of the printing committee in dele
g;; ting Mr. o. A. Sontag to take charge OF
the="Official Program of Exercises and IL
lustrated Inaugural History" was approved
by the full inaugural committee. and the
preparations for that publication may now
proceed.
1t is the province Of the committee on
printing. of which Isador SakS is chairman,
and Mr.. Joseph /. Saks vice chairman, 20
either publish the inaugural program and
assume all the petty responsibilities and
duties or award the exclusive right of pub
fishing the program to a competent outside
person the committee reserving direct
supervision over the work. For this pur.
rose it Is probable that a committee or
three will be appointed by Mr.. Saks to pass
upon all matter either descriptive or adver-
tising to be included in the official pub
lication.

TOWNSHIP Of VALDEZ
IS TO Be RELOCATED

Seattle, July 24-Floods which have
threatened to wipe town Of growing
Importance off the map and leave
nothing to show for what might might
have been, have led the owners and
hackers of the city Of Valdez, Alaska.
to decide to move the place bodily
away from its present locations dis
lance Of three miles up the bay to a
point directly opposite the United
States army barracks.
With the change in the geographical
location Of Valdez some of the projects
connected with the enterprise of town
building become simplified and the
construction of railroad to the Cop
per river country from Valdez, is now
declared to be an assured fact by those
behind the scheme. In the old, or
present, location Valdez as a railroad
terimnslp resented a series of engineer
ing difficulties that were almost unsur-
mountable, and enterprise and capital
were almost at standstill. Another
thing that will make an improvement
in the new Valdez is that it's wharves
will be built on deep water and that in
itself is an incentive to make the
change. The present site is upon a
long beach and it is necessary, in or
der to find water enough to float an
ordinary vessel, to build wharf of
great length, which increases the ex-
pense Of delivering from ships to shore.
1t was in contemplation to move the
town when the recent torrents which
threatened the place made it easier to
decide.

N. WITTE TO Hold OUT
AGAINST PAYING MONEY

St. Petersburg, July 24.-Russia
has issued absolute instructions to M.
Witte. chief plenipotentiaIy, to hold
out to the last in 90 far az the Japanese
demand for money indemnity is con-
cerned.
The nation is willing to consent to
the cession of Sakhalin, inasmuch as
it would be necessary to raise the point
that the Japanese attacked the island
while the peace negotiations were in
progress, and this is considered as
something that it is not advisable to
haggle over at the present time. Rus
STA will pay Japan's war expenses. but
is hardly willing to 60 any further.
Nothing will be done regarding an
armistice pending the first meeting of
the plenipotentiaries. Russia has new
or asked for any cession Of hostilities,
neither has the Japanese government
taken up the subject.
The interview in the Associated
Press with M. Witte on Monday last,
telegraphed back from New York and
printed throughout the empire, is CIV
en- high commentator from the press,
with the exception of the extremely re-
dictionary Sviet and the Moscow Ga
zette.
