t. i'eteishuri;, Man:li 27. Under co
er ol durknexa this uioiiiiiik Admiral
Toko maiJe another deeralu attempt to
holtle up 1 Iih HiiHsian flt-et in furl Ar
thur, hut he failed aiiain, and when alter
daylight Vice- Admiral Makaroff steamitd
out U gi vw but ile, the Japanese com
maii.lei reluaed the challenge and Sailed
aay.
The Japanese practieally related the
tactics ol February 24 tjy semliiiK lour
slnpn, preceiled by a torpedo boat flotil
la, with the exception that the warslnps
tins nine Merit armed with llotchkms
Ktiiia lor the purpose ol keeping off the
KiiHimi torpedo-boat deslioyers.
'Ihe enemy's attempt waa dixcovered
by hicaiis ol the ehore searcbliKhis, and
a heavy lire w.a opened Irom the Satiet
ies ami (rom two KUiiboatH which were
Ktnnliiia' the entruine to the harbor.
The HtiBsiaii torpedo boat dent royer till
til Man oiiuiiln 011 ruiitini duty, anil to
the ilnli and lierve of her coiniuander.
Lieutenant Kirinski, is chiefly due the
complete defeat of the plana ol the Jap
anese. He at once made straight for the on
romi'iK ships utxler a hail ol fire bom
the HotchkiHS K"n( "'"I torpediH'd the
leailliitf ahii, which nheered off. follow
ed hv the olheia, three of them beiiitf
plied up on Ihe t hora under Cioldun Hill
and one under ihe liL'litiintiNe.
Thehlim then enitiK1''' 'he entire six
torpediehiiBta ol the enemy, coining out
Irom a ternlic lilit with neve 11 killed
and her coiiiiiiainler and 12 of her com
plement wounded, but on iheJapaDene
side only one tioat'screw was saved. In
addition, accoidihg to unofficial reports,
It is believed the Japanese lost two tor-peilo-hoate.
'I he Japanese emitters which support
ed the attack exchanged shots with the
batteries and then drew off, after which
Vice-Admiral Makaroff took a steam
launch and examtn. d the tiie-ehips. An
hour later the Japanese torpedo not ilia,
followed by Vice-Admiral Togo's fleet,
came up from a Southerly diiection.
Just at daybreak, Vice-Admiral Maka
roll with his fleet sailed out to engage
the enemy, but after the ships and bat
teries hail bied a lew long-diMance shots,
Vice-Admiral Togo decided to decline
the lasue, and disappeared to the south
ward. The news of the repulse of Vice-Admi
rl Togo's second attempt to block Port
Arthur created 111 lie u rejoicing in the
Uusataii capital, and among all classes
Ihe gallantry of the bilni and her com
mander is the subject of high praise; but
above all, Ihe muial effect of Vice Admi
ral .Makarotra willingness to engage the
enemy, showing that he considered him
self strong enough to fight, pioduced a
splendiil impression.
In high official circles this new effort
to bottle up the Kusaian fleet is looked
upon as meaning only one itiiug, namely,
that the Japanese, as stated by the As
sociated 1'iess 011 March 24, are now
preparing for a heavy landing of troops
in the Uulf of Liao Tung, either at Nm
Chwang or on the went coast of Manciiu
rian neutral zone, to effect which in safety
the immobility of Vice-Admiral Maka
rolfs fleet is abi-oluldly essential, while
the transports are being conveyed
around the southern end ot the penin
sula. If the attempt had succeeded it would
have required several days aj, least to
blow up the steamers and clear away the
wreckage, during which time the Jap
anese would be assured of nou-interfer-ence
in the carrying out of their pur
poses. The failure ol the Japanese this
morning may seriously hamper their
plans, as the ice in the Liao river is go
ing out, and when the river is iree from
ice its month can be easily mined.
The conviction continues to grow here
that the Japanese have concluded that
it would be inadvisable to make a direct
frontal attack on Manchuria from Coiea
against the whole Kussian army, and
hat iMyill be necessary to land a flank
ing column irj 4he Gulf of Liao Tung to
divide riie atteiffon of the Russians and
if possible to seize the railroad and cut
oil Port Arthur. The ground above
NiuChwang is perfectly familiar to the
Japanese, who occupied it for a year dur
ing the Chino-Japanese war.
- (Some experts even go so far as to ex
press the belief that Vice-Admiral Togo
was covering a movement of troops in
the Uulf of Liao Tung this morning, and
that, therefore, he was compelled to ex
ercise great caution and to decline the
Kussian offer of an engagement.
Another view of the Japanese Admi
ral's purpose, which is less entertained,
is that be believes bombardments from
Pigeon Bay would be disastrous to the
Kussian fleet if it wee compelled to re
main in the harbor, he having ascertain
ed from observation that the Kussian
ships always 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.
Hl'SSlANS ARB BEPCLSED.
Bt. Petersburg, March 29. General
Kouropatkin, in his first report to the
Emperor from the scene of the war, an
nounced that otlensive land operations
had taken place against the Japanese
upon the sixth anniversary of the occu
pation of Port Arthur ry the jcussians.
These operations took the form of a cav
alry attack yesterday by six companies
of Cossacks led by General Mishtchen
ko, against .our tquadcons of Japanese
cavalry, wbii-b the general believed to
be beyond Chong ju.but which ne tounu
to be in occupation of that town.
I respite a cross tire which General
Mishuhenko cleverly directed against
the enemy, be pys a tribute to the te
nacity and bravery of the Japanese, who
only ceased to fire after the combat,
which lasted for half an .hour, llofore
the Kussianscould follow up their ad
vantage, three Japanese squadrons gal
loped toward the town. Two of them
succeeded in entering, while the third
was driven back in disorder, men and
horses falling.
The fire maintained on the town was
so destructive that the Japanese were
unable to make an effectual return.
Further Japanese reinforcement ar
rived an hour later, and in view of the
suneriority of the enemy, General Misht
chenkodetermined to retire, doing so
without embgrrassment, although he
carried witb him three killed and 16
wounded.
General Minhtchenko's Cossacks have
been endeavoring lor some days to come
in contact with the Japanese patrols,
but the latter refused to combat.
The skirmish of today will have the
effect of encouraging the Russians to re
tard as much as possible the advance of
the Japanese army.
General Kouropatkin' dispatch re
porting General Mishtchet)ko's opera
tions as published does not give the
place of its origin, but it is presumed
that the commander-in-chief is either at
Liao Yang or en route to Niu Chwang.
ilow To Trent Keportrrs.
I shsuld like to tuopoae a high school
for the education of all men od the sub
ject ol "How to Treat a Reporter." It
would end all friction. Lei the public
first understand that the reporter is
bound to have Ihe news at all risks. If
he cannot get it at first hand be will
take it at second, or third, or tenth. He
is not going back to tiis editor with a
hang (log look and say he has failed.
Never! He ill take fake first, and take
chances of being caught or vindicated.
On reputable paers, if caught fakiug,
he soon loses his job. So reporter in his
ight senses want to fake. He wants
the truth every time. Then why bide
it? Why insult bim? Wby increase
his labors a thousand fold? Why keep
him out on the still ljunt all night when
by treating him in a common, sensible
manner you could sot Mm right in a sec
ond and have early copy for the compos
ing room.
Manv persons look down on-reporters
as il they were inferior creatures. They
forget that 0J times in 100 the newsgath
erers are of higher caste than those from
whom they seek information. Keporiers
are not looking lor anything good about
people, for the public would never stop
to read it. They want all the bad about
men and women they can dig out, and
it is the bad things about bad people
that make the newspaper interesting.
Through long mingling witb the evil
classes reporters become contaminated,
and it must not be wondered at if there
should be an occusional fall from grace.
I do not know any reporters who are
abgels, and I do know some who are
devils with painted wings, but take them
all in all they are the best set of fellows
in the world, workingjike mad for their
employers, spendingliberally, living
merrily and ever eager to do a lav r and
forget it. Victor bmith in New York

the most important is Healjh.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss of money. In buy
