RUSSIAN STRONGHOLD SUFFERS Fourth Attack Said to Have Been the Moat Effective Since the Siege Be gan One Russian Torpedo Boat De stroyed. TOKIO O.'cial and private reports burl; indicate that Admirrl Togo's fourth uttack on Port Arthur on the 1'tth instant was the most effective since the first assault of a month ago. One Uustdan torpedo boat destroyer wag sunk and several Russian torpedo boat destroyers seriously damaged. The fortifications of the city were sub iecleil to a heavy bombardment, last ing nearly lour hotr-s. ' The naval bombardment;) of the land works have generally been ineffective, yet the pe culiar toimgraphleal conditions of Port Arthur mune. Immunity from serious loss from bombardment almost impos sible. Admiral Togo's torpedo flotilla open ed the action by boldly steaming in un der the batteries and successfully plac ing a ni;mber of inethniiical nilaes at the mouth of the huibor. Following that there was a desperate bow to bow encounter between the orpedo boat de stroyers, , which the Japs appear to have secured a clear victory. Then there followed a long-range duel be tween the i-rui.ters, ending in the retire tn.-nt or the Novik and Hayan, the only Russians engaged. The c'osiii" action was i ho' bombard ment of the inner harbor by the Jap anese battleships. The latter took a po.iitlon southwest of Port Arthur and used their twelve-inch guns. Thero were twenty-four twelve-inch guns In the squadron of six battleships and orch gun 11 red the rounds, making a total of 120 huge projectiles that were fired at the citv. The bombardment was de.iberato and carefully planned. In oruer to aid In perfecting the firing. Admiral Togo stationed the cruisers in a position due east of the entrance to the harbor, and at a right angle to tho battleships. The cruisers observ ed the range and effect of the firing and signalled the results and sugges tions by wireless telegraphy. These observations and reports greatly aided the gunners In their efforts to make every shot count. Admiral Togo was unable to defi nitely learn the results of the bom bardment, hut late private reports in dicate that much (lest met ion was canned in the city wtiere a series of tires oroke out. There also was dam age to the battc-ies. BUFFALO BILL WANTS DIVORCE. Colonel Cody Files Petition Asking Severance of Marital Ties.

Why He Failed to Call on President Morales at San Domingo. WASHINGTON. Admiral Dewey, who with several members of the general staff and Assistant Secretary Loom is of the State department, are now at Havana, has teleggraphed tho Navy department the reasons why ho failed to Call on President Morales of San Domingo when the party were in Snn Domingo waters several days ago. The failure to visit caused con siderable surprise at the lime. It ap poars that there was lighting n prog ress in the vicinity on Hie dav the party was there and for that reason the admiral did not deem it advisable, to make an official visit. During tho lorcnoon there were several casual ties in San Domingo city from tho tlghting then in progress. This was caused from shots crossing the river, through which the boat must pass, and as more fighting was expected during the afternoon the admiral gave up the projected visit. The ad miral, however, sent his respects to President Morales by I'nlted States Minister Powell. HEARING OF DIETRICH CASE. Inquiring Into Charges Against the Senator Begun.

WASHINHTON The senate pass ed the fortification appropriation bill Tuesday after a three hours' discus sion of the amendment authorizing the purchase of un experimental tor pedo boat and the provision for the purchase of idles of defense works in th. Hawaiiun Islands. The torpedo boat provision was stubbornly foupht, hut the amendment suggested by tho committee on appropriations was re tined.

One of these ap propriates $l.iMM).tti(i for a public building ut Atlanta. (la. In response to a request from Mr. liOtlge, Mr. Perkins explained the rea sons which actuated the committee in striking out the house provision of the bill, appropriating $:ioo.0O0 for the purchase of sites for defenses of the Hawaiian islands saying that the committee's i.etion had been duo to the fact that the government had no option on land for this purpose, which might have the effect of placing tho government at ihe mercy of real es tate owners. lie also said the amount named was not sufficient. Mr. Spooner and .Mr. Foraker took the position that on account of the outlying position of Hawaii, the Uni ted States should be prompt in pro viding for Its protection, and Mr. Per kins said he was willing, if a sum sufficient to accomplish the purpose sought could be secured. In accord ance with Mr. Perkins' suggestion, r. Spooner offered an amendment appropriating $r2li.l(M, instead of $2(10,(11)0. This amendment was ac cepted without division. By common consent the senate re sumed consideration of the torpedo amendment, und Mr. Callinger offer ed a substitute, providing for compe tition, Insuring a vessel of the type desired. The amendment was defeat ed, 17 to :it;. The 'fortifications bill as amended was then passed and the senate went Into executive session. ARE NOT GOING TO CANADA.

"As to Ihe bearing upon oilier rail roads, 1 have ibis to say: The gov ernment has never claimed ihat tho law Is any broader than its language plainly indicates. "During the trial and argument the government paid no heed to the defendant's contention that tho makeup of substantially all the great American systems of railroads was on trial.

THIS KEEPS THE JAPANESE OUT All Vessels on the Outside Keep Up Steam for Emergency - Believed that Vice Admiral Makaroff Will Adopt the Offensive. LONDON--A correspondent of tin-. Dully Mail at New Chwung says that after the removal of the battleship Ri'tvlan four Russian steamers, the Harbin, the Huilar. the Niuguta and the Sungurl. were authored al the mouth of the entrance to Port Arthui In proper posh ion and sunk, leaving only u smull channel available. Vice Admiral Makuroff having previously ordered tne whole fleet to remain out side with st en in up, economy of coul being unnecessary. This dirputch. which is prominently displayed by the Dally Mall, and which the correspondent says Is "on Russian information," Is, If true, news of the first Importance, conflnniiig lh idea that Vice Admiral Makaroff will adopt the offensive nnd make u des perate attempt lo bring together Rus sia's scattered naval forces and en deavor lo iufliei damage upon tho Japanese navy. The story must, however, be view ed cautiously, the only approach to confirmation from any other quarter being in a dispatch from the corre spondent of Ihe Daily Telegraph nt Yin Kow. which says: "Vice Admiral Makaroff has issued orders that tho saving of cotil l.i unnecessary, but the big gun aiiimuuit ion in the fort must not be wasted. Evidently the ammu nition is running short." There is no other nev s to hand on the subject.

Ii is remarked that Ihe British newspapers all regrrd Vice Admiral Togo's report that he has laid mines at Port Arthur as a mere bluff and they sav lltrt such u feut would be im ntistiihle under fire. The Dally Mail thinks that ir Vice Admiral Makaroff closed the channel II was in order lo prevent the in gress of Japanese torpedo boat do stroyers, as was done ut Wei llai Wei during the Chluo-Jnpaiiese war.

Doubtless certain agitators at court are in favor of Japan, but Ceneral Yuan Shul Kill, who is the empress' confidential man, the most powerful viceroy in China, and virtual chief of Ihe Chinese uriny, is too prudent lo expose his country lo the conse quences of such an adventure. The dispatch of reinforcements to tho frontier Is genuine, from which wo conclude thai China is determined to remain neutral."
