He adda that 79 shots took effect on the two vessels. General Assault Looked Tor. There is an air of great expectancy and work hers at the war office, which. coupled with other Indications; are taken to mean that the aate nas teen set for a general aasault on the strong hold and that It will be of such over powering character that Stoeaael'a -men will either be completely destroyed or compelled to surrender. In view of the character of the fighting In the last few daya, It la believed the Russians will choose death to surrender, and that the downfall of the fort will be accom plished only by the annihilation of Its garrison. , Sailors right Ashore. It Is no longer believed that a sally will be made by the Russian ships or that any attempt will be made In this direction. This surmise comes from the fact that sailors are now almoat as common among those killed on the field ns soldiers, showing that the mon from the vessels are believed to be better sacrificed In land work than In what would certainly be a losing fight by sea. . It la doubted If any of the Busslan vessels Is cspable of fighting. All cer tainly are short of ammunition, aa ev ery reply of the garrison at Port Arthur Indicates ths use or interior powucr and even this is husbanded for the re pulsion of assaults only. It Is Incon ceivable that this condition would ex ist while sufficient stores were still re talned on the ahlps which are now lying In the harbor, useful only aa targets for Japaneae gunners.

During the weary hours of the morning and early afternoon Emma Watson sat In the marshal's office waiting for the hoped for release. Marie Ware came in and spent most of the morning with her. Up to t o'clock Puter had still been un successful. Tarpley was not required to give ad ditional security for his appearance for sentence, as he Is already under bond for $4,000. Wulgamot's bond also con tinues In force and waa deemed suffi cient to hold him until sentence. The exaction of bonds in the cases, of W Klnley, Puter and Emma Watson waa due to the fact that no security had previously been required of them under the particular Indictment on which they were convicted, although they had all given bonda for the coming trial. The conspiracy charged against the defendants In the case to -be tried next week Is similar to that for which they have Just been tried. They are nccused of conspiring to defraud the government of public lands by forging homestead appllcatlona, affidavits and proofs. It Is charged that la In the first cass they prepared papers In the names of ficti tious persons: thereby securing patents to six quarter sections of land In town ship 24, south, range 1 east.

Mr. Heney had never been In Alaaka and was not acquainted with Judge Noyee until two days before the trial commenced In San Francisco, but the high reputation which he had earned at the bar led to his selection by the ao cused. Subsequently Mr. Heney argued the Noyes matter before Attorney Gen eral Kno and the force and ability with which he presented his oase won the admiration of the attorney general and led to hla retention to prosecute the land fraud cases, atltohcook'a Congratulations.
