The latter, which had been disposed in lino, altered their positions, the Ask oM aud Hoyarin advancing abreast of Liao Tin Rock and the Novik moving down the coast towards Liao Tishin, while the Bayan advanced and led the rest of the fleet between, the heavier vessels of Russia's enemy and the coast. The land batteries fol lowed the fleet into action, Viceroy Alexieu and his staff observing the engagement from golden hill. "The enemy stsamed to within 40 cable lengths (about 8,000 yards).

Captain Mat sumura, who acted as signal officer on tho Mikasa, Admiral Togo's flag ship, during the first attack on Port Arthur on Feb. 9, gives a graphic story of the fight in. the JIji Shimpo, Japan's most widely circulated news paper, of the date of Feb. 15. Cop ies of the paper have just been receiv ed by Shesaburo Shimizu, Japanese consul for Chicago. The account by Count Matsnmura is the first by a Japanese eye-witness. The captain was wounded in the foot as he stood on the bridge of the Fuji by a shell from one of the Port Arthur fort guns. His acount reveals the fact that the Japanese ship Fuji was badly dam aged, but net disabled, by Russian shells, while two of its officers, Com mander Nakayama and Lieutenant Mi ura, were killed by a shingle shell while standing on the bridge. Cap tain Matsumura's description of the naval battle and the events leading up to it, is as follows: "Admiral Togo ealled the captains of the allied fleet to his flagship in Sascbo harbor Feb. G. Plans were discussed, but of course, were not re vealed. At 2 o'clock that afternoon the fleet left the harbor. "At 8 a. m., on Feb. 7, smoke was noticed on the horizon. The Tsuku ba was dispatched to investigate and discovered the Russian steamer Rob sia which was captured. Shortly af ter this prize was taken Rear Admiral Uria and one of the divisions of the fleet started for Chemulpo. Admiral Happy, Healthy Children.

CrowelJ & Wilkie Forest City, No News of Last Eombardment. , St. Petersburg, March 11.-2:45 p. !. Up to this hour no further news Is obtainable ok the bombardmentof Port Arthur, which; yas progressing, according to the latest advices,, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Whatever later information, if any, the emperor may have, is not known. Military and naval circles are mysti fied at the purpose of the appearance of the Japanese torpedo boats during te previous- night as it was not ac companied by'a serious attempt upon the Russian ships. The bombardment of the fleet from a position off the Liao-Tishin promontory, which is 5 to C miles from Golden Hill, at the en trance cf the harbor, is believed to indicate that the Japanese were afraid to risk a frontal attack under the guns cf .the land batteries. It is considered doubtful whether any of the guns' cf the Russian batteries command the location from which the Japanese were firing. " It is pointed out that dropping shells into the har bor and town even in fun is accompan ied by danger and the haphazard work is explicable perhaps only on the the ory that it was meant as a diversion to cover more serious operations else where. , Still, some of the experts here declare their belief that the only object of the Japanece was to keep the garrison and fleet worried. Scout Boats Not Heard From. New York, March 11. Two torpedo boats sent out as scoiits from Port Arthur March 7 have not been heard from, according to a Herald dispatch from Che Foo. It is feared they have fallen into the hands cf the Japanese. One of the Band Confessed and Plead ed for Mercy, While the Others Held Out that They Were Inno cent Guilty of Many Crimes. Chicago. March 12. Hanging for all was the verdict of the jury today in the first murder cage against the so called "car barn bandits," Harvey Vandine, Peter Neidermeier and Gus tav Mirix, who attained notoriety by a desperate all-day battle that started in a dugout near Liverpool, Ind., where the trio had taken refuge after a seiie.j of remarkable crimes includ ing the murder of two employes of the Chicago City railroad at one of the company's barns in this city, the motive in each instance being rob bery', Em:l Roeski who was with the ban dits in the dugout and who participat ed in many of their crimes, is to be tried separately not having been im plicated . directly , in their particular murJer for which his associates were first arraigned. The verdict of the jury was delay ed 'from yesterday afternoon until to day on account of a temporary differ ence of opinion as to making the pun ishment alike for all the defendants. A confession on the part of Marix led to the discovery cf the hiding "place of the other bandits. Marix entered -a plea of guilty and begged for mercy, while the other bandits attempted to brazen out a plea of in nocence. " - Epilepsy, the result of heredity, was also pleaded' in the case of Vandine The bandits heard their doom- sto- lidly. , i iV.a mother was in the court room. JJeideimeier's mother was also pres ent. Neither woman made any out cry. The mother of Marix did net appear. She was said to be at home in a state bordering on collapse. Georgia Prison Commission Recom mend Commutations. Atlanta, Ga., March 14.

GUNEOAT HELENA LEAVES PORT PEACH PROSPECTS BRIGHT. Georgia State Entoniologict Reports Fruit Trees in Fine Condition. Atlanta, Ga., March 14. State En tomologist Wilmon Newell returned Sunday from a trip through the Fort Valley district and his report regard ing the present condition of the fruit trees and the prospects for the peach crop this summer was most encouraging. "The Trees are simply loaded down with blossoms," he said, "and while of course there are many things that may step in to prevent realizing pres ent prospects, I can only say that the prospects at present are exceptional ly good for an excellent yield." Withdrawn From Nin Chwang by Or ders of Admiral Evanc. Washington, March 12. It is said here that while no orders have been issued from the navy department to Captain Sawyer commanding the gun boat Helena to withdraw from Niu Chwang, ir may be that Admiral Ev ans, commanding the Asiatic station, has given such a direction. It is, of course, realized that the Helena would be in a very disagree ble position if the port was bombard ed, and she served no useful purpose in the present berth. There is no disposition to drag flie question of neutralization of the port of Niu Chwang at this stage and the withdrawalbf the Helena as soon as she is freed of the ice will make to wards this purpose. Atlanta Preacher Says Women Should Vote by Rights. Atlanta, March 14. Rev. W. L. Head, pastor of the Jones Avenue Bap tist church, preached a powerful ser mon last night on the subject, "The Drunkard," during the course" of which he took occasion to declare himself strongly in favor of woman suffrage. The minister declared that he be lieves if women were given the bal lot, the saloon would soon be legis lated out of existence. He said that just so long as whisky drinking law makers are kept in office, the saloon will flourish, but that if women were allowed to vote such men would be put out of office and prohibitionists elected in their stead. The speaker further declared that women should be permitted to vote as a matter of right. WON'T RESIGN UNDER FIRE. SETTLEMENT NOT MADE. Bricklayers, Laborers and Employers Did Not Agree. New York, March 12. Another dis agreement has arisen between the bricklayers, laborers and their employ ers and the expected return to work of 3-.000 men now on strike has failed to -materialize. Plans to arbitrate have been rejected by the employers pending the resumption of work. Meantime the strikers have receiv ed a vote of support by the bricklay ers', union who resolved not to work with nonunion men. parties of Cossacks are seen north of that point, and there are probably only a few hundred Russians in all south of the Yalu. There is little prospect of any con flict in this quarter within the next six weeks. Thus far there has been no trouble at the mines and there is litt'e likelihood they will be inter fered with, both sidss having given eveiy as&urance in that respect. The only possible danger is from strag gling parties of pillagers but from th:;se the miners are in a position to protect themselves having on hand three Colt guns and ad ample supply of rifles. 9- goods.
