A Japanese official, among the latest arrivals rrotu Dalny. statea positively that the gen eral attack upon Port Arthur has not been resumed. Rumors to that effect in Dalny have arisen because ' fresh troops. Including the Seventh Division, recently iandedTare being sent to the front. It is believed that the explosion which took place on Nov. 16 occurred in some counter-tunneling work. The second explosion, which was heard on Nov. 19, was much heavier, and it is reported upon the best authority that It was due to th blowing up of a Russian mag- yln. It Is expected that the next attack upon Port Arthur will be a tremendous affair. More re-enforcements are com in? to the support of General Nv than thone dispatched to Field Marshal Oya- ma. The Japanese are now constructing coast defense forts at Pigeon Bay, tvntcn is accepted as an indication that they expect to be defending Port Ar thur themselves some day. ' NO TRACE OF RACE HATRED.

The action of Comptroller General Jones to-day in altering the accounts ot managers of election presented by the election clerks sadly affects Beveral thousand State and Federal election managers. The commissioners of elec tion seem to have been laboring under the misapprehension that the managers were entitled to pay for three days whereas Mr. Jones points out that the law clearly allows pay for only one day. There has therefore been a lop ping off to two-thirds of the charges. The agitation for an additional Fed eral judge for this Stale Is being, re vived on account of the congested con dition of the dockets. The business of the two districts over which Judge Brawley presides is growing too heavy for him to keep up with and members of the bar throughout the State are or ganising a campaign to gel another Judge appointed.

Captain Da v. !J uays out rrom aava wtt.i a carati of BUgar, arrived at this port to-day ami reported the probable foundering on November 15, of the Hpaman iwik la falla, with her crew of 15 men. during the recent Southern storm. The steam er stood by tne sinking bark for two days, and on the second night the Spanish vessel disappeared. The con dition of the Tafalla when the crew of tho Aros Castle last saw the Vessel was such as lo lead them to believe that the bark went down during the night. Capt. Day reported that shortly be fore daybreak pn Sunduy, November 13, during a terrific gale, rockets were sighted about Xt. miles east of the Ber mudas. The rockets were answered by flare lights front the Aros Castle, and the steamer's course was changed in the direction of' the rockets. The sea was running so high that tha steamer could not safely1 go near the distressed vessel, and aha lay to, waiting for day light. In the meantime the flare lights were kept burning, to encourage the crew on tho unknown vessel. After daybreak It was) learned that the dis tressed vessel was the Tufa I hi, !i5 tons, Captain S. RoigJ, with a cargo of pitch pine from Brunswick. Ga.. for Valen cia. The stormfWaa so great that no small boat coull,be sent in the assist ance of tlfe Tafalla, and Capt. Rolg hoisted the following signal: "Leaking six Inches an hotyr. Main pump broken and smaller putAp clogged. Men worn out." Captain Day signaled lie would lay by until the storm abated. Towards noon, however, the captain of the British steamer decided to shoot a Hue to the bark, which he did, after Bteamlng his vessel dangerously near the bark. A hawser was fastened to the bark, and slow progress was made In the turbu lent sea. Late In the afternoon, the hawser snapped and the Spanish ves sel again drifted helplessly, with water gaining In the hold. Night came, and Captain Day decided to stand by until 11IUI 1111 g . During tiie night the storm did not abate, and Captain Rolg continued to send up rockets and Captain Day to burn flare lights, so that they would not become separated. With daylight On Monday, it was seen that the bark wag lower in the water, but the British crew could do nothing until the sea became calmer, because the only hawsefjon the vessel was the one that had bWt broken. Monday night, the vessels were still together, arid the rockets and Hare lights were kept going. After 4 a. m. Tuesday, the crew of the Aros Castle saw no more rockets, and all was darkness. When daylight came, not a sign of the Spanish bark could be seen on .the ocean, and It Is the belle! or tho Hi Itlsh crew that the vessel was ripped open by the tremendous waves and went down with all hands on board.
