again play a defensive role, this time,
it is hoped, with better auccesa, and
therefore with less sacrifice of life, than
in the engagements on the Yaln.
The w ar commission sat until 2
o'clock this morning, and at the close
of the session it was announced there
was nothing to communicate to the
public. It ia known, however, that
the emperor baa been informed cf the
presence of the Japanese fleet off the
Laio Yang 8han promontory, and the
appearance of transports at Pitsewo.
The fact that the two events occurred
simultaneously may have significance.
If a landing should take place at Pitae-
wo it is anticipated that Admira Togo’s
batteship squadron will bombard Port
Arthur in order to prevent the garrison
from sending reinforcements hy rail
road to the troops opposing the Japan-
ese there.
Neither the admiralty nor the war
office believe* that a disembarkation of
the Japanese can be prevented, as the
guns of the Japanese cruisers could
command the point of landing, hut
after the Japanese are ashore, the Rus
sians will strike and officers say, will
strike hard. What force they will be
able to bring up to resist the invaders
cannot
be
stated definitely,
the
strength of the army on the peninsula
of Liao Tung having been kept a strict
secret.
It is expected the railroad will play
an important part in the effort of the
Russians to push the Japanese into the
sea, as it will permit the rapid transit
of troops.

decisive tht entrance to Port Arthur ia
“ absolutely sealed," and adds that th*

In favor of the supposition of Japan

and St. Petersburg knows nothing of
the rumored capture of N iu Chwang.
It is said the Japanese have advanced
to within 18 miles of Kang Wang Cheng,
and another engagement is expected al
most immediately.
Reports have been received here that
the Japanese captured a quantity of
railroad material after Sunday’s battle.
This is supposed to indicate that til*

the railroad from the main Manchurian
line to the Yalu. If this is so, it

Port Arthur Harbor.
Port Arthur, May 6.— Another dar

yesterday morning to block the en
trance to Port Arthur. A few minute*
before 1 o’clock the first shots were
fired, awakening the town with their
thunderous noise. The gunboats lying
at th* month of the harbor joined in

ing gradually increasing in volume un
til there waa a continuous crash of

pedo boats were discovered, bnt they
were finally swallowed up in th* dark
ness, and the batteries and warship*
after 40 minutes' activity were again
shrouded in gloom, though the flashing
searchlights showed that the military
were alive to the warning conveyed of
the approach of the Japanese ships.
Shortly before 2 o'clock a searchlight
played from the sea directly upon the
entrance of the harbor, lighting it up
to show the way for th* fireships,
The projector moved to the right from
LiAo Tishan to Golden H ill. For a
quarter of an hoar the light was
watched with curiosity, and then a sec
ond cannonade began, the heaviest fire
being directed to tb* left of Golden
H ill, where the fireahipi were located.
At about 4 o'clock the batterie* ceased
firing, save for an occasional shot.
Just about dawn the bark of the rapid
fire guns and the craakling of the mi
trailleuse was heard from Golden Hill.
Occasionally there was sounds of ex
plosions, as of mines going off. It was
the enemy's ships striking on Russian
torpedoes.
The fireships were ten inndmber and
of about 3,000 tons each. It is re
ported that two Japanese torpedo boats
were sunk, the remainder withdrawing
in a damaged condition. Eight fire
ships weie sunk and very lew of their
crews were saved. Moat of them were
killed.

Sometimes the lighter prairie soils are

Only the

In wet spring seasons some risk la

the ground first and pulverize It for
corn. And the clay loam should be al

break them deeply. Disking heavy

a great mistake In any kind of a
