BOT- WHEN ATTEMPT WAS IYIAQE Report that the Japanese Have Sunk ' Seven Merchant Steamers In the Harbor Demand in Connection With Manchuria. LONDON Tho Dally Telegraph published a dispatch from its Toklo correspondent, which says: "On tho night of March 22 the Jap anese fleet renewed the attempt to bottlo up Port Arthur. Sixteen war ships escorted seven merchant steam ers to tho mouth of tho harbor and under cover of tho bombardment tho steamers were ran In and sunk In do fclred positions. Three hundred Jap anese offlcois and bluejackets volun teered for the duty. An official re port Is expected this esenlng." Tho Dally Telegraph's circumstan tial report from tho Toklo correspond ent that Japan sUccocedcd in bottling up Port Arthur on the night of March 22 ir, not confirmed from any other quarter. Tho special dispatches to tho other morning papers announce no new developments, but throw a few sidelights on tho operations. Tho Standard's Tien Tsln corre spondent says that Viceroy Alexleff renewed his demand for tho with drawal of all Chiriese officers end sol diers from Manchuria on tho ground that It would be Impossible to conduct tho war properly. Tho Dally Mail's correspondents FLAGSHIP OF JAPANESE FLEET give from Japanese sources some de tails of the condition of Port Arthur, which wero gathered during a recent visit of a Chinese Junk, there. It Is assorted that a boom had been placed across thoentranco to tho roadstead, which was alive with mines, so de fective and so carclesbly laid as to equally endanger both Russian and Japanese vessels. Tho damaged Rus sian warships, those reports say, wero repaired with such haste that It Is dangerous for them to leave their an chorage. Eight battleships and ciuls ers and ten torpedo boat destroyers aro now uninjured and often leave the r harbor, but never go far from tho forts. Japanese naval officers praise the quality of tho Russian torpedo boat destroyers, which, they confers, havo done excellent work,, but they declare that tho Russian shells are badly fused and fall to explode, except when thoy strike direct upon armor, and that their charges of guncotton aro in sufficient to cause serious damage. The Dally Mall's Shan Hal Kwan correspondent says that tho JapanosG aro secretly engaging Chinese to act as irregular corps. CODY MAKES DEPOSITION.
