ROSEBURG, OR. Paris, Feb. 9 The news of the first Japanese attack with torpedo- boats on the Russian fleet olf Port Arthur created consternation here. The officials af the Foreign Office were among the first to receive the infor mation, and the advices were similar ! to those of the St. Petersburg official Gazette, showing that two Russian battleships and one cruiser were damaged, and also showing that four torpedo-boats made the attack. An official of the Foreign Office said: It is profoundlv to be regretted that sach a decisive step has been taken, and it terminates . the efforts ; the powers might have made to avert tactual warfare." Information has been received here showing that the British Government will issue a declaration of neutrality. within a few days, perhaps immediate ly, and that France will take the same course within a day or two. The naval engagement off Port Arthur . is said to have mainlv oc cupied the attention of the council of Ministers. The impression prevailed that the three battleships torpedoed are so badly disabled as to be useless for the remainder of the war, thus placing the Russian fleet in a state of manifest inferiority. It is said tnat members of the council of Ministers expressed astonishment at the alleged negligence of the commanders of the Russian ships in permitting the Jap anese to surprise them. The Japanase Legation announces that Japan has requested China to declare coal contraband of war. The effect of this would be to cut off the main coal supply of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur. The lejration officials add that China's continuance of sup plying the Russians with coal would , be a breach of neutrality. Berlin, Feb. 0. Japan's initial! success in the first attack with tor pedo-boats on the Russian fleet off Port Arthur produced a deep impres sion both on the people and military and naval cities here. Groups gather ed around the distributors of the extras in the streets and read the news almost with exclamations of gladness. The comment at the Marine De partment wag that even, the. tempor ary disablement-of three warships' placed the Russians at a great disad vantage in future operations. It was-' added that the torpedoing of the enemy's -vessels lying under powerful land batteries must have been carried out daring and skillfully. As Viceroy Alexieff did not men tion any Japanese losses in his dis patch, the common talk of the naval officers was that the Japanese have shown that they can handle their ships better than the Russians. Perfect Confidence. Where there need to be o feeling of nncasinfise and worry in the household when a child showed symptoms of croup there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform puccess of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy in the treat ment of that diseabe. Mrs. M. I. Uas ford of I'oolesville, Md., in speaking of her experience in the use of that reme dy esvh: "I have a word pf confidence In Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for I have used it with porfect -succijfs.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 9, 3 p. m. The news that Japan had duplicated her tactics at the opening of the China-Japanese W'-r ! v torpedo at tack on the Rw- a . :f Port Arthur, created interna excitement. Details of the attack are anxiously awaited. Extra editions of the morn ing papers printed early in the fore noon, after the appearance of the of ficial messenger, conveyed the intelli gence to the population of the capi tal and dispelled any lingering hones that war coald be averted. The Czar and his Ministers, who had betm informed immediately of the receipt of Viceroy Alexieff s telegram accepted the gage and prepared to face the reality of war. The Czar's manifesto declaring a state of war to exist, is expected to be issued tomor row at the latest. Port Arthur, Feb. 9. Japanese torpedo-boats attacked the Russian fleet here during the night, and three of the Russian ships were badly dam aged. The Japanese, who thus scored the first success of the war, escaped undamaged. Chk Foo, Feb. 9.

Admiral Urik, commanding the" Jap-!tW5 a qoertion whether or not it will anese squadron, formally called on the Russian worships to leave Che mulpo before noon. The Admiral added that if his demand was not complied with he would be compelled to attack them in the harbor. The two Russian warships left the port at about 11:30 a. m., and a battle ensued outside the Polvnesian Islands. After about an hour's engagement' the Rus sian warships sought refuge among the islands. Toward evening the Rus sian cruiser Yariag sank, and about. ! a. m. today, February 10, the .Koriete was reported to have also sunk, hav ing been blown up. The officers and men of the two sunken vessels sought refuge on the French. cruiser Pascal. There were no casualties, on' the Jap anese side." - - London, Feb. 10Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister, here, has re ceived official confirmation from Tokio of the destruction at Chemurpo of the Russian first-class cruiser Variag and the third-class cruiser Koriete. The cruiser Variag, which was built at Cramps' Shipyard, . Philadel phia, in 1S93, was of unsheathed steel. She was of '5500 tons dis placement, and her indicated horse power was 20,000. On her speed trial sho mado 22 knots per hour for eight hours. She was 400 feet long, 54 feet beam, and had ' a,, d&pth of. hold of 20 feet. The Vjiriag's anna ment consisted of 12- .6-inoh appjy also to Ccrea, which is striving desperately to preserve neutrality and prevent invasion; but the general opinion is that it is too late in that case to do more than seek to preserve torean independence after war. Xo explanation is accordod as to whether Manchuria itself, already the scene of the first battle oft" Port Arthur, is, being part of China, re garded as being within the scope of the propositionr but here, as in the case of Corea, it ia believed that the determination will not be reached be fore the close of the war. Nw York, Feb. 9. Holland has decided in case of war to maintain the strictest neutrality, says a Her ald dispatch from The Hague.
