Feb. 9-9:10 p. m. OCurtrrn Time.) I New York Hrrald Cable amm Rpe'lal 'JVIpRfHm.) A fleet of about eljtht vensels, evidently Japanese, entered the offing of Chc-o Foo without lights at 4 W this evening. Signalled to shore and then left immediately. Destination un known. "I wan' ljlng on Monday night quarantined in the lndr-China steamer Columbia, between the entrance to Tort Arthur and the Kusslan fleet and very rlone, to the latter. Only one of the Ruvolan warships was using searchlights. In a leisurely fashion only three torpedo boats were patrolling the outskirts of the fleet. All the other torpedo boats were Inside the basin, livery thing was tranquil and a Russian official told us he expected the Japanese fleet In three or four days. The light house was already lighted and guiding lights were also burning. About 8 o'clock the Russian sailors chanted thtlr evening prayers. The hum rolled out Impressively along the water. The weather was per fect. It was not cold and the sky was clear. There was a light, southerly breeze and a hazy horizon, then deep silence set tled down. "I was going- to tied about half past 11 when I heard three distinct but muffled eiploslons, one after another. Apparently they came from under the water, for the Columbia vibrated violently. Instantly firing with twelve-pounders and three pounders began. Searchlights were placed, but without much method. I watched the operations, thinking they were only maneuvers, till midnight, when the firing had almost ceased, entirely ceasing at 3 In the morning. About 1 o'clock two battleships, probably the Retvlzan and the Czarvltch, and one large crulner passed us coming toward the harbor entrance. The battleship then lay across the narrows at the entrance, where both are now aground and helpless. They are very close to gether and are not blocking the entrance except for ships of heavy draft. The Retvlzan had been torpedoed forward, the Czarvltch aft. A cruiser listed to port Is ground outride the entrance of the har bor. It was also torpedoed. Ferblddrn to Leave Port. "At 2:40 some Russian naval officer came to the Columbia In a state of great ex citement, saying the viceroy had ordered us not to attempt, to leave, Nielr object being to prevent us from giving Informa tion to the Jnps concerning the extent of the damage. Up to this time we thought fhe operations were only manuevers or a scare, but now we began to suspect some thing serious, and especially when at day light we saw the strange, pathetic appear ance of the two torpedoed battleships. We suspected a collision, but soon learned that these battleships and the cruiser were cer- talnly torpedoed. It seems strange, for though the flashlights were whirling wildly and the lighthouse light was now extinct, no firing took place after S. The moon was shining, but no enemy was visible. The aun rose very red, disclosing the presence on the horizon of three two-funnel cruisers, on whose masts we afterward distinguished the flg f the rising sun of Japan. They came boldly within long distance range and remained watching for two hours after daybreak. "A strange apathy seemed to possess the Russians. Tho crew of white-faced, gap Ing men crowded the forward decks of the damaged vessels. 1 saw through a glasa the cook of the Retvlzan calmly throwing out slops, and men In the other vessels carefully washing the anchor chain while weighing the anchor. For a long time after the anchor was weighed no vessels showed a disposition to chase the Japs or to fir a single shot. Finally the Japs left Thla was at S:20. They were pursued by tlio Russian fleet, which proceeded toward Dalny. lusbers of the Japs. At 9:13 the Russians returned to their anchorage. no flriruj having apparently occurred. Then came eUenoe, everything having passed oft with Jess noise than the ordinary naval re view. The Japs effected a complete sur prise, owing to the bad lookout. The Rus sian have now outside the harbor five ef fective battleships, five effective cruisers. one volunteer cruiser, one gun vessel, on training ship, seventeen torpedo boats and (BEDIP Coughs, Golds, Bronchial and Lung Troubles KEUEYED KSKEDMTUY BY MIKKS HUSSION WE GUARANTEE AN ABSOLUTE CURE. .

The latter were grouped near the entrance of the harbor. First Phot a Goot Oar. "It wss almost II o"clock this morning when sixteen Jap ships. Including five bat. tleshlps, appeared along the horizon. They were In fine order. At about lft: to came the first flash from a Jap vessel. This landed a twelve-Inch shell near the tor pedo boats and disabled a battleship. The aim was splendid. Owing to the confusion of the quarantine officials, or perhap be cause the Russians thought the Japs would dislike to fire near the British flag, the Columbia had been left lying close to the Russian fleet and In the line of Are, so thst the Jap shells aimed at the battle ships fell thickly around It, several burst ing near Its stern and strewed Its deck with splinters and water. Captain Anderson got It under way, although ordered by the Rus sians not to leave, and despite the protest of the Russian guards aboard, who were eventually Conveyed to Che Foo. 'On one occasion while shells were burst ing around about us the captain called, Boy, get me some ctgrarets.' Officers Wright and Nicholson and Engineer Bmlth were coolness personified. The vessel was brought out of Its excessively dangerous position by running near the shore and then making full speed for Che Foo. The Russian guards were praying fervently and the Chinese crew was frightened, but m-orked well. We feared the Russian bat teries would sink us for disobeying order or send a torpedo boat In pursuit. The Captain had repeatedly signalled for per mission to proceed, but his signals were not answered. "The bombardment of the forts lasted un til 11:45, the Jap shooting with good aim. Two shells burst on the summit of one fort snd numbers on the face of the cliffs and along the beach. AH of them were heavy shells. Owing to the length of the range all the shells burst on contact with the water or land. Borne threw out yellow moke, but generally It was dense, black smoke, temporarily concealing the ships. Russian Ships Hit. "The rate of fire on both sides was slow and n.any Russian shells fell short. The Sebastopol was hit by a heavy shell near the base of Its forward funnel. Another three-funneled battleship was struck amid ships on Its armor plating. A third, also a battleship, was struck abaft Its armored section, near the stern. We could not as certain the exact damage done. "The fleets were about three miles apart Apparently no ship on eltner side wa disabled. The Russian cruiser Novlk fought plucklly, keeping by far the closest to the Japanese. All the heavy firing was con centrated on It and compelled It to retire on the battleships. The other Russian cruiser fought at first outside the line of battleships. The Russians seemed to fight with little formation, probably owing to the cramped space, being never more than a mile and a half from shore. They re mained ail the time under the guns of the (Continued on Page Four.) forts, which fired over them, but not very fluently. Whenever the heaviest shore butteries fired over our heads the air vi brated strongly and there was a great crackling around us. "Before the action we saw the Russian battleships throwing beds and other lum ber through the gun ports, and Chinese sampans were busily engaged In picking up these articles, including ping pong tables, until the shells began to fall. The Russian battleships constantly wheeled 'round In the same position while the Japs kept a splendid formation, retiring slowly In line to the southward at a quarter to 12, after a half hour's action. Conditions Before Battle. "The Columbia escaped with a small hole In Its deck caused by a splinter from a shell and some marks on Its afterdnek house. The Columbia's captain Is English, the mats Irish and the engineer Scotch. "Two large and two small British steam ers engaged in the coasting trade, also an American flour ship, the Pleldas, are blocked inside Port Arthur harbor by the position of the disabled battleships. The Russians are endeavoring by pumps and collision mats to stop the hole of the battleships In order to be able to keep them Inside the harbor at high water. "When fifteen miles south' of Port Ar thur I heard heavy firing toward th north. This waa at 1:30 p. m. It did not continue. I saw no signs of the Japanese fleet on my way to Che Foo. "The Russian fleet a Port Arthur Mon day evening was preparing to sail. The duck were partly cleared, the hamper un shipped, the boats and woodwork aent ashore. Six battelships, four protected cruisers, two armored cruisers, one ordin ary cruiser and thirteen torpedo boats are outside the harbor now, but more torpedo boats may come from inside the harbor and the rest of th fleet may arrive soon. CAPTURE TWO RUSSIAN SHIPS On Which Kails Into Hand of tho Japaaese Is Anterlean.Bnllt Crnlaer Varla. (Copyright, 1904, by James Gordon Bennett.) LONDON, Feb, 10. New York Herald Cablegram-Hpeclsl Telegram.) London will learn this morning that In addition to tor pedoing th Russian battleships Czarvltch and Ketvlxan and the commerce destroyer Pallada, the Japanese have captured two other of th czar's warships, on of these being the American built Varlag. These hips were in Chemulpo harbor. The successes rapidly following npon th rupture of diplomatic relations almost be wildered Englishmen, while at th sam time they raised the Japanese higher than ever in th estimation of the people of this country. Th opening strategy of the Japanese is described as "bcld. correct snd characteris tic." They welted with patience while the hope of peace remained. That gone, they let no conventions hinder them from taking their opportunity to strike the enemy to the quick. British naval men expected quick action by the Japanese. What surprises them Is the way In which the Russian vice roy appears to hav allowed himself to be taken unawares. That Admiral Alexloff will be recalled, even if he Is not shot, Is the opinion heard expressed more than once today. This is based on the supposi tion that the three warships torpedoed by the Japanese at Port Arthur have been practically put out of action for the rest of the csmpalgn, even If they have not been sunk to the bottom In Port Arthur roads.

THOMPSON, BELDEN 4 CO., WILL LEASE IT Work to start as Soon as Residence of the Owner Can Be Torn Down and the Lot Graded. George A. Hoagland will build a large business block, with sixty-six feet frontage snd 132 feet In length, on the corner of Six teenth and Howard streets, where his resi dence now stsnds. The building will be four stories in helghth and basement, and Is to be occupied by Thompson, Belden Co. It will be modern In every respect. The contract for occupancy already has been drawn up and signed by both parties. Work will begin upon the building at the earliest possible moment after the resi dence of Mr. Hoagland can be removed and the lot graded. The new building will be on the corner, with the south side on Howard street, which still leaves sixty-six feet frontage on Sixteenth street between the location of the proposed building and the Bennett company's store. It Is said that negotiations are now pending for the erection of another building on this site, which Is to be occupied by another firm. If a lease can be agreed upon without further delay, the two buildings will prob ably be erected at the same Ume. Cost of Building;. When seen Mr. Hoagland refused to make any statement as to the cost of the building, but it is understood that It will cost about 170,000. The ground on which It stands will be figured in in making the lease at J1.000 per front foot, and the lessees will pay according to the terms of the lease, 6 per cent on the total Invest ment. They also will pay the tajtes, In surance and other expenses connected with the property. This would make the annual rental about $7,G00, besides the expenses. Thompson, Belden ft Co. are forced to abandon their present location on account of the sale of the property by the Young Men's Christian association to the Brandets brothers. Mr. Hongland stated that he had made no plana for the future as to where he would reside. It Is believed, however, that he will erect a fine residence farther out than where he lives at present.
