FIERCE FIGHT FOLLOWS
ATTEMPT OF JAPANESE
TO BLOCK THE HARBOR
-■t - ■
Russians Beat Back the Attacking Force, but They,
as Well as the Japanese, Sustain Losses.
With Four Merchant Steamers, Convoyed by Torpedo Boats,
The Japanese Sought the Entrance to the Port Arthur
Inner Roadstead—Plan Was to Sink the Steamers
and Bottle Up the Russian Fleet—Activity of
One Russian Torpedo Boat Defeated the
Enterprise—This Boat Lost a Number
of Killed and Wounded.
SUMMARY OF THE WAR’S EVENTS
The .Japanese again tried and failed to bottle up the fleet of the Rus
sians In Port Arthur harbor. It Is believed that the crews of steamers
that were sunk In the effort to block the passage failed to escape.
One report states that a Russian torpedo boat was sunk, but this
may have been the Stint, which Admiral Makaroff reports as having
stranded, but which later was floated.
Unofficial rrports say that the Japanese lost two torpedo boats dur
ing the engagement.
Russians are jubilant because Admiral Makaroff sailed forth to meet
the Japanese fleet and Admiral Togo declined to join combat.
It is believed to be the fixed purpose of the Japanese to land a force
in Manchuria to flnnk the Russians who confront them on the Yalu.
Marquis Ito and ills suite have departed from Seoul, whither they
went on a mission to the Korean Emperor.
St. Petersburg, March 27.—Under
cover of darkness this morning, Vice
Admiral Togo made another desperate
attempt to bottle up the Russian fleet
in Port Arthur, but he failed again,
and when after daylight Vice Admiral
Makaroff steamed out to give battle,
the Japanese commander refused the
challenge, and sailed away.
The Japanese practically repeated
the tactics of Feb. 24 by sending in
four fire ships, preceded by a torpedo
boat flotilla, -with the exception that
the fire ships this time were armed
with Hotchkiss guns for the purpose
of keeping off the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers.
The enemy's attempt was discovered
by means of the shore searchlights,
and a heavy fire was opened from the
batteries and from two gunboats
which Were guarding the entrance to
the harbor. The Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Silni was outside on scout
ing duty and to the dash and nerve of
her commander, Lieut Krinizki, is
chiefly due the complete defeat of the
plans of the Japanese. He at once
made straight for the on-coming ships
under a hail of Are from the Hotch
kiss guns and torpedoed the leading
ship, which sheered off, followed by
the others, three of them being piled
upon on the shore under Golden Hill
and one under the lighthouse. The
Silni then engaged the entire six tor
pedo boats of the enemy, coming out
from a terrific fight with seven killed
and her commander and twelve of her
complement wounded, but on the Jap
anese side only one boat’s crew was
saved.
In addition, according to unofficial
reports, it is believed that the Japa
nese lost two torpedo boats.
Jnpnneie Cruisers Drew Off.
The Japanese cruisers which sup
ported the attack exchanged shots with
the batteries and then drew off, after
which Vice Admiral Makaroff took a
steam launch and examined the fire
ships.
An hour later the Japanese torpedo
flotilla, followed by Vice Admiral To
go’s fleet, came up from a southerly
direction. Just at daybreak Vice Ad
miral Makaroff with H,ls fleet sailed
out to engage the enemy, but after the
ships and batteries had fired a few
long distance shots, Vice Admiral Togo
decided to decline the Issue and dis
appeared to the southward.
The news of the repulse of \ ice
Admiral Togo’s second attempt to
block Port Arthur created much re
joicing in the Russian capital, and
among all classes the gallantry of
the Silni and her commander are the
subject of high praise; but above all,
the moral effect of Admiral Makar
off’s willingness to engage the en
emy, showing that he considered
himself strong enough to fight, pro
duced a splendid Impression.
To Render Fleet Impotent.
In high official circles this new effort
to bottle up the Russian fleet is looked
upon as meaning only one thing, name
ly, that'the Japanese, as stated by the
Associated Press on March 24, are pre
paring for a heavy landing of troops
in the Gulf of Liao Tung, either at
New Chwang or on the west coast of
the Manchurian neutral zone, to effect
which in safety the Immobility of Vice
Admiral Makaroff’s fleet Is absolutely
essential, while the transports are be
ing convoyed around the southern end
of the peninsula.
If the attempt had succeeded it would
have required several days at least to
blow up the steamers and clear away
the wreckage, during which time the
Japanese would be assured of non-in
terferencs In the carrying out of their
purpose. The failure of the Japanese
this morning may seriously hamper
their pis ns, a* the Ice In the Liao river
Is going out, and when the river Is free
from lee It# mouth tan be eaeily mined
To Make e ■#•* l-oodlog.
The conviction continues to grow
here lhat the Jepsneee have conclud
ed that U Would Ike inadvleehlv to
inag* a direct frontal attach on Man- :
aim hUasg agiUhal Urn vhuMJ
Jiatannalj Jftofratuj
Russian army, and that it will be nec
essary to land a flanking column in
the Gulf of Liao Tung to divide the
attention of the Russians and, if pos
sible, to seize the railroad and cut off
Port Arthur. The ground above New
Chwang is perfectly familiar to the
Japanese, who occupied it for a year
during the Chino-Japanese War.
Some experts even go so far as to
express the belief that Vice Admiral
Togo was covering the movement of
transports into the Gulf of Liao Tung
this morning, and that therefore he
was compelled to exercise great cau
tion and to decline the Russian offer
of an engagement.
Another view of the Japanese ad
miral’s purpose, which is less enter
tained, is that he believes that bom
bardments from Pigeon Bay would be
disastrous to the Russian fleet if it
were compelled to remain In the har
bor, he having ascertained from ob
servation that the Russian ships al
ways pass out during the high angle
bombardments and that a big shell
dropped on a battleship could easily
pierce the deck and, exploding, might
completely destroy it.
RUSSIAN LEADERS
REPORT TO THE CZAR.
St Petersburg, March 27.—An official
dispatch from Port Arthur to the Em
peror says that at 1 o’clock this morn
ing the Russian searchlights disclosed
four large merchant steamers making
for the entrance to the harbor, sup
ported by six torpedo boats.
A heavy fire was opened on them by
the batteries and some warships.
The torpedo boat Stilni, commanded
by Lieut. Krinizki, turned the mer
chant vesels from their course by
blowing up the prow of the first and
them boldly attacked the enemy’s tor
pedo boats. In the fierce fight which
followed Chief Engineer Swyereft of
the Stilni and six marines were kill
ed, and the commander and twgjve
men were wounded.
The Japanese plan to block the en
trance to Port Arthur was frustrated,
however, and the channel Is still
clear.
Vice Admiral Makaroff, commanding
the Russian naval forces at Port Ar
thur, has sent the following telegram
to the Emperor:
Picked Ip By Searchlight,
“I beg most humbly to report that
at 2 o’clock this morning the enemy
made a second attempt to block the
entrance to the inner roadstead. For
this purpose they dispatched four large
merchant steamers, convoyed by six
torpedo boats, to the entrance.
“The enemy’s ships were promptly
discovered by the searchlights and
were bombarded by the batteries and
by the guardships Bohr and Otvajny.
“Fearing the enemy’s ships might
break through, Lieut. Kriniskl, com
manding the guard torpedo boat Stilni,
attacked the enemy and destroyed the
bow of the foremost Japanese steamer
with a torpedo. This steamer turned
to the right and was followed by two
others, with the result that the three
were stranded to the right of the en
trance.
One Battled With Six.
"A fourth steamer went to the right
of the enemy’s ships and likewise sank
to the side of the fairway. The Stilni
ithen battled with the enemy’s six
torpedo boats. Engineer Artificer Bw
yereff and six seamen were killed and
the commander and twelve seamen
were wounded.
“At daybreak the enemy's battleship
and cruiser squadron appeared, and I
proceeded with the fleet under my
charge to meet the enemy.
“The second attempt of the Japanese
to block the entrance to Port Arthur
has failed, thank* to the energetic de
fence by the sea sod land forces, who
acted as they did during the first at
tempt.

LYNCHING BEE

TWO MORE NEGROES KILLED
Ilf WILD WORK OF THE ARKANSAS
MOB.
List of Those Lynched Within a
Week Numbers Thirteen—Two
Brothers the Last Victims They
Were the Cause of Ali the Trouble,
Having Mode the Assault Upon the
Searcy Brother*—Oue of the Sear
cys Will Probably Not Survive.
Little Rock, Ark., March 27.—A
special to the Gazette from DeVViti
savs:
Two more negroes have been killed
in the clash between whites and
blacks at St. Charles, fifteen miles
from here, in Arkansas county. Tills
brings the total of dead negroes up
to thirteen, all of them being killed
within the past week.
The last two negroes killed were
the Griffin brothers, Henry and Walk
er, who were the cause of the trou
ble. The negroes were reported to
have escaped, but It is known that
they are dead, and It is believed that
they were killed yesterday.
Owing to the remoteness of St.
Charles, and to the fact that news
of the result of the riot is not given
out freely, it is difficult to obtain de
tails, but there is no doubt of the
authenticity of the death of the Grif-
fins.
In the St. Charles neighborhood the
negroes largely outnumber the whites,
and trouble has been brewing for a
long time, and it is said the negroes
for the past two years have been get
ting insolent, and belligerent.
Yesterday was election day and us
ually on such a day St. Charles is
crowded with negroes, but during the
entire day only two negroes were seen
in the town, and these two appear
ed in the morning, and stayed in
the village, but a short time. Near
St. Charles the negroes are quiet, and
are attending strictly to their work.
The trouble originated last Mon
day when the two Griffins met two
white men, brothers, named Searcy.
The Searcys, who are fishermen, and
the Griffins had an altercation a few
days before, and when they met, the
trouble was renewed. One of the
■ negroes armed himself with the leg
of a chair, and with his brother as
saulted the white men, beating them
so severely that one is now on the
verge of death, and the other is in a
critical condition.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE
BY THE HIGH WATERS.
Grand River in Michigan Surpassed
Former Records.
Grand Rapids, Mich., March 27.
Conditions in this city and nearby
towns along the Grand river are very
grave to-night, as a result of the un
precedented flood. At 9 o'clock to
night the river gauge here showed a
depth of 19.3 feet. This is three feet
above the previous high water record
in 1844.
The water is failing slightly to-night,
the drop in temperature having check
ed the small streams and surface
drainage. The inhabitants of flooded
houses are suffering greatly from cold
and lack of food. There has been no
loss of life thus far.
There is grave danger of an epidemic
of typhoid fever following the flood.
Inter-urban cars are running only
over portions of the roads out of Grand
Rapids. Steam railway traffic is de
moralized. The city lighting station
is entirely out of commission. Many
of the west side churches are surround
ed by water and were unable to hold
services to-day. All schools on the
west side will be closed until further
notice.
It is conservatively estimated that
the loss to property and business on
account of the flood will exceed 32,-
000,000. Fifteen thousand men will be
unable to work to-morrow, owing to
factories being dosed by the high
water. Two thousand homes are flood
ed on the west side.
The flooded conditions at lonia,
Lowell, Portland and other points
along the Grand river are reported
to be slightly improved to-night, the
water having begun to fall. The
flood loss at lonia is estimated to
night at $lOO,OOO.
Niles reports to-night that no trains
have been run to-day on Michigan
division of the Big Four, as a re
sult of the St. Joseph river flood;
that the greater part of the north
end of the city is flooded and that
sand bags are bring placed on the
dam across tho river at that place
to keep it from going out.
Because of the flood that has swept
Grand Rapids, the banquet planned by
the Democratic Club, which was to
have been attended by guests of na
tional prominence, has been abandon
ed and will not be held Monday even
ing. The funds subscribed have been
turned over to the city relief commit
tee and the use of the auditorium,
which had been leased for several
days’ occupancy, has been given to
the flood sufferers. Already many
have been fed there.
All speakers have been notified of
_jhe action of the club and will be
asked to speak later, although no
date has been set for the event. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles had been expected to
speak on "Patriotism,” but had sent a
letter of regret owing to the Illness In
his family.
POWER HOUSES PUT
OUT OF COMMISSION.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 27.—The
City Street Railway arid Inter-urban
systems are without power, because
of the flooding of the power houses
near White river. Communication with
North and West Indianapolis is cut
off by the flood, which has swept away
bridges.
Many houses have been carried down
White river and shattered against the
stone bridges which connect the city
proper with the suburbs.
Kingan & Cos., the Indiana Furniture
Factory, and the Indiana Foundry
Company are closed down because of
t he flood.
THREE LIVES ARE LOST

Davis Has IMS and Wood Jilfl on

Yet to He Made Davis Will Get
Enough Delegates to Give Him a
Majority—Ollier Contests.
Little Rock, Ark., March 27. —Com-
plete and partial returns from a ma
jority of the counties of Arkansas to
night show that Gov. Jefferson Davis
has probably carried enough counties
to give him the Democratic nomination
for a third term.
In half a dozen counties the vote is
so close that the official count will be
necessary In order to decide.
The Democratic state convention,
which meets in Hot Springs on the
second Tuesday In June, will consist
of 442 delegatee, and 222 will be neces
sary to nominate. On the returns at
hand Davis has 188 delegates and Judge
Carroll D. Wood 125. Of the remain
ing 129 delegates, Davis is sure of at
least one-third. It Is probable that
the total vote In the state will reach
126,000.
Returns from the First congressional
district Indicate the renomination of
Congressman R. B. Macon over Eu
gene Parrish.
In the Third district the contest is
very close between Congressman Hugh
A. Dlnsmore and J. C. Floyd, with
chances favorable to Floyd.
To-night's returns show that Robert
L. Rogers has the lead for Attorney
General, and Dr. Avory E. Moore for
auditor of the state.
The nomination for chief justice of
the Supreme Court will probably have
to be settled at the state convention,
as no one of the four candidates has
enough votes to determine the contest
now.
K. A. McCulloch is leading W. L.
Moore for associate justice.
WOOD ALSO CONFIDENT.
Little Rock, Ark., March 27.—Later
'returns on the governorship to-night
were encouraging to the Wood men,
and indicate that the contest is by no
means settled.
There are nine counties In which the
official vote is necessary to decide. They
have forty-eight delegates in the state
convention, and it now appears certain
that Wcod has carried enough coun
ties to give him 169 delegates, leaving
the nine doubtful counties and several
remote sections to hear from. Gov.
Davis' managers claim they will have
305 delegates. Both side are confi
dent.

BRYAN AGAINST WARFARE.
Does Not Approve the Training of
Yon na Men to Arms.
New Haven, Conn., March 27.—Wil
liam J. Bryan delivered an address
this afternoon before the Peoples
Church iu the Hyperion Theater on
“The Prince of Peace.”
Mr. Bryan eventually took up the
question of war and Inveighed against
the present war between Japan and
Russia, saying that he hoped there
would be a general demand made to
find out the cause of that warfare.
Knowing the exact cause the world
would then be enabled to form a
Judgment as to whlfit side has Justice
in its contentions.
He deprecated the prevalence in this
country of training boys and young
men In the arts of warfare. The only
warfare that man ought to wage, said
he, Is the warfare against evil in all
Its forms.
“Society Is In danger,” continued Mr.
Bryan, “because of the terrible con
flict that threatens between the rich
and the poor. Shall we say that the
outcome will be a warfare between
class and class, to .end only In the
rule of that class which can take the
upper hand and rule because It has the
strength? How much better to recog
nize that ull are brothers. Recogni
tion of that doctrine will not rob life
of bravery. It will not make us cow
ards, for It takes a brave man to live
righteously before men In the stren
uous world of to-day; it requires a
brave man to stand up against error
in his own political party, and to
maintain a righteous principle."

he says that the forthcoming visit of
President Loubet to Rome is not only
a courtesy from the president of the
French republic to King Vic

a visit "from a friend called
France to a friend called Italy,”
the relations of which countries
are now os close as possible. M.
Combes added that President Loubet
never dreamed of visiting the Pope.
Concerning the speech delivered by
the Pontiff in receiving the members
of the Sacred College on his name
day, March 18, in which he criticised
the French government for its treat
ment of the clergy and the religious
orders and against which speech the
French ambassador at the Vatican has
entered a protest, the Premier said:
"It is the Pope's business and he can
do what he thinks best. The Vatican
has not observed the concordat, and
it would be more frank and more loyal
to denounce it as ended. I energetically
protest against the speech of Pope Plus
X. and Foreign Minister Delcaaae pro
tested likewise against the interven
tion of the Pope In questions Which
were not spiritual and which were not
contemplated by the concordat."
