A FIERCE ATTACK
CONTINUAL POUNDING IS WEAK
ENING PORT ARTHUR.
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.

lows: Six torpedo boats which went to sea

DEWEY WIRES EXPLANATION.
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.

WORK IN SENATE
THE FORTIFICATION MEASURE IS
PASSED.
AN AMEHDMEHTCOES WITH IT
Increase of the Amount of Appropri
ation for Defense, but Defeat Over
takes the Amendment for Experi
mental Torpedo Boat.
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. The Hawaiiun provision,
which hud been eliminated by the
committee, was restored and the sum
Increased from $2i'.0tM), as fixed by the
house, to $."i2tl.luo. Several other
bills were passed. 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.

oral, being asked concerning die mer
ger decision, sold:
"My views of the decision cannot
bo better expressed than in the lan
guage of one of the best known rail
road presidents in the United Stales
upon tho decision in favor of the

said: 'The decision is souml law,

of probably nine-tenths of the most
conservative business men of the
country.'
"As to Ihe bearing upon oilier rail

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. The government's position was
then, that the question before the
court was as lo the validity of Ihe
Northern Securities device."

HARBOR BLOCKED
STEAMERS SUNK ACROSS THE
CHANNEL BY RUSSIANS.
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.
The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corre
spondent sends an unofficial rumor
thai the .Ii'panese have occupied
Da I n y.
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.
It is a subject of unceasing remark
and conjecture ihui nothing has been
beard of ihe Vladivostok squadron,

nel Munthe, aid-decanip. and Dr. l-a-voile,
counsellor for foreign affairs to
the viceroy of I'e Chi Li province,
who are starting on a mission to
Viceroy Alexieff, made to him the
following sialemenl:
"We sincerely believe Ihat China
will nol interfere In ihe conlliet.
Doubtless certain agitators at court

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

conclude thai China is determined to
remain neutral."
