Z7.-rThe official report of the attempt made Iat Tuea lay night to block the entrance of the harbor of Port Arthur reached Tokio last tilght (Krlday). The report waa written by VIce-Admlral Kamlmura, division cm mander under Admiral Togo. TJie re port recltea that at a certain point near Port Arthur Tuendajr evening a num ber of merchant it earner ecort4 by a torpedo flotilla were dlhpatched tor the purpose of closing the entrance of the harbor. The torpedo flotilla, re joined the fleet ae 10 a. m. Wednes day at aea at a rendeivoua previously agreed upon and reported that the uteamer f Iokogu Maru had been eunk at the foot of the llghthouee on the left aide of the entrance. The Dlahlu Maru waa aunk outside, beyond the Hokogu Maru. The Tenahin Maru. the Duoy Maru and Jlnion Maru were sunk at the foot of Laotche lllllttlmoet aide by side. All the above mentioned eteainera were aunk by their own crews, who were all safely rescued. The torpedo flotilla was unharmed. The torpedo flotilla also reported that It discovered the nusnlau cruisers Fay an and Novlk together with a" few de iitroyers In the outer harbor. After the flotilla rejolded It the main fleet ad vanced slowly on Port Arthur, where It found the Russian cruisers Bayan, Askold and Novik alowly moving about the outer harbor under cover' of the batteries. A bombardment began at long range and at 11:45 a. m. all the ships and butteries were responding vigorously Shortly after noon the Novlk retreated to the Inner harbor. The Ask-Md and Itnyan quickly followed, demonstrating that the sinking of the steamers had not blocked the entrance of the har bor. A bombardment of the Inner harbor was then ordered and for 15 minutes all the heavy guns of the Jap anese fleet threw shells over the bills into the harbor. The Japanese were unable to determine the effect of the bo n i bar J merit, but saw huge columns of smoke arising from time to time. In the meantime the Japanese cruiser squadron discovered two Russian tor pedo destroyers at the foot of Laoche hill and gave chase. One of the de stroyers escaped, but the other was pursued Into Pigeon bay, where It was sunk. Vice-Admiral Kamlmura re ports that the Japanese fleet sustained no damage and did not lose a single man.

Vancouver, B. C, Feb. 27 The In terior department is doing smart work In the United States and Britain by way of attracting settlers to the Do minion from those countries Indiana editors are to be made evangelists for Canada. W. J. White, superintendent of immigration agencies, has arranged for the Allied Press Association of that populous state to tour Manitoba, the Northwest and British Columbia this sum, when the West is at Its best. Two hundred prominent editors will come to the coast. Among others who will accompany the writers will be Senators Beverldge and Fairbanks, Governor Durbln, Booth Tarklngton and James Whitcomb Riley, not to i men tion lesser lights like congressmen and mayors. As to British endeavor, Hon. James A. Smart, deputy minister of the inter ior, is acting up to his name during his present visit to England In the Interests of further immigration to the great northwest. Mr. Smart, according to private letters received in Vancouver, has been telling the London reporters of the reasons why success attended Canadian efforts to secure good settlers from the United States and the old land. In the first place, he explained, It W& due to the activity' of agents in prosecuting the well-considered plaaS of tite inferior department to thorough-, ly advertise Canada as the greatest wheat -producing country In the world. Secondly, the work of showiyg the ad vantages of Canada has been carried out in a systematic and judicious way and the dominion government has shown by actual result what may fee regarded as a never-failing rule in bus Ine 'persistency always wins." ' ? speaking of the statements constant ly made in London that the Americans who are flocking to Canada will ultu inately Americanize the country Mr. Stewart said that only those who had no personal knowledge of ther subject would hazard the suggestion, '1 hope" said he, "that no person will ti tie luded Into believing that Canada will ever Join hands with the American re- public. There Is no more sentiment to day in favor of Canada being ancesed by the United States than there is of her being annexed by Japan or Mexico. What we do want is that thousands of British settlers who are going to the United Spates and other foreign nations should not forget the advantages Can ada offers them to establish homes for themselves and, In a very few years, to gain Independence and competency. To a worker this is a certainty." MANEUVERS ARE CLUMSY Russian Report of Battle Belittles Seamanship of the Japan- . cseNavy.

C FULTON, Chairman. , C. J. CURTIS, Secretary. St Petersburg. Feb. 27. The Port Arthur correspondent of the Russ tele graphs as follows: On tne morning of February 2t, a Japanese squadron, consisting of six battleships and four light cruisers, ap peared on the horizon. The Russian cruisers Askold, Bayan and Novok were In the outer harbor. The Jap anese ships, upon attaining a position within 35 cable lengths (about i miles) of the Russian ships; opened an attack.' At this time two of our tor pedo boats returning to our ships from Pigeon bay. All the Japanese cruisers attempted to cut them off; levsrthe- less, one of the torpedo boats succeed lul In MMi.tilna. Pnrt Arthur uhlto tho other turned back. The scene of the battle was thus cut In, two, the Jap anese battleships cannonading the Ask old, Bayan and Novik, which were sup ported by the batteries and the cruis ers pursuing the Russian torpedo boat which entered Pigeon bay." The can nonade lasted 40 minutes , and several shells fell at various points in the fort ress. ; One Chinaman was MVrtUy wounded by a splinter and one by a shell. In yesterday's affair the man euver of the Japanese appeared to be defective. While turning back to sea the Japanese battleships got benched and pur ships did not fail to take ad-.' Vantage of the fact They Opened running fire and one could clearly see shells bursting amidst the tremendous targets. This clumsy maneuver on ttw part of the Japanese is considered ts affording weighty reasons for .he be lief that the enemy's losses were heavy. A Japanese torpedo boat lies on a bank off Fort White Wolf. It is ap parently cne of those which participat ed in the night attack with the freighters.
