Muzzles the Press.
London, March 1. A Central News
llspatrh from Tien Tsln. says the Chi-
Hot Time In the Old Town.
London, March 1. A dispatch to tho
Dally Tolograph from Ylnkow, dated
Fobruary 29th, says:
Fifteen Japaneso warships furious
ly bombardod Port Arthur from 10 un
til 12 o'clock this morning. Tho Rus
sian crulsors Novlk, Askold nnd Bay
an, accompanied by four torpedo boats
steamed out to meet tho attack. They
wore, hqwevor, forced to rotlra Tho
Askold was in a sinking condition.
Tho Novlk was badly damaged and a
torpedo boat was sunk. Tho Russian
battlahlp Retvizan was again damaged.
The Japanese withdrew in good order.
This battle shows a repetition of tho
now familiar tactics of Japan, and It
is presumed the attack was made in
bad weather, previous telegraphic ad
vloee having roportod a sovoro gale
raging at Port Arthur. As usual the
Japanese did not remain long enough
pff the harbor to enablo the gunners
at the fort to get their range. Again
at the time the three cruisers, the Bay
an, Askold and Novlk came out to
meet the attack, and this suggests that
either they wero the only effective
ships thero, or that tho larger battle
ships wro unablo to get out.
Many alleged dispositions of tho op
posing forces aro published this morn
ing, but they dlffor too much in dotall
to bo of any great value.
A dispatch from Shanghai to tho
Doily Chronlclo says tho Russians aro
transferring tho guns from tho dis
abled ships at Port Arthur to tho forts
thoro.
A dispatch from Chco Poo to tho
Standard, dated Fobruary 20th, says a
Japanese cruiser and torpedo boat en
tered that harbor without lights at 1
o'clock on tho morning of tho 20th, and
It Is boliovod they embnrked thq, Jap
anese who took refugo thoro after tho
attempt to bottl up Port Arthur.
A Tokio correspondent of tho Times
cables that tho steamers sunk by the
Japanoso on either slilo-of tho Russian
battleship Retvizan at Port Arthur
practically obstruct tho entrance to
tho harbor.
The Shanghai correspondent of tho
Dally Express says it has boon official
ly announced that tho Japanoso mall
boat sorvlco between Shanghai and Ja
pan will bo resumed Saturday, without
naval escort.

thur, and speculation as to the prob
able fato of that supposedly impreg
nablo fortress takos tho widest rango
The publication of General Stossol'
order to tho troops, while It has had
tho effect of arousing enthusiasm in
Russia, had also attracted attontion to

In Russia's plans for the defeat of the
Japanese in Coren.
While the failure of the Japanese
attempt to bottle up tho fleet ovoked
sarcastic comment from tho Russian
press, as to the Japanese cunning and
to the miscarrlago of thd enemy's

ing been defeated, thoreforo. It must
follow Port Arthur is Impregnable, and
the Japanese can never capture It
It Is stated in high Russian circles
that not only will Port Arthur resist
all attempts to reduce It, but tho Jap
aneae fleet will yet be destroyed by
tho combined guns of tho fortress and
tho, fleet.
According to a report from St.
Petersburg, a body of Cossacks from
the South Usurl Provlnco, with quick
firing guns, is advancing along the
cast coast of Corca to prevent tho land
Ing of tho main Japanese army, and
tho comment Is mado that possibly the
landing at Posstet Bay may havo been
mado with tho intontion of attacking
this force.
