THE LARGE
Fourth Attack on Fort Arthur.
The fourth attack of the Japanese
upon Port Arthur is des P
cribed in the following special ^
from Tokio, March 13th. Ofli c<
cial and private reports indicate 11
that Admiral Togo's fourth at- g
tack on Port Arthur on the 10th r<
instant was tho most effective S1
since the first assault of a mouth

destroyer was sunk and several
Russian torpedo boat destroyers
seriously damaged. The forti ;l
float ions and city were subject 51
ed to a heavy bombardment r<
? lasting nearly four hours. The 11
naval bombardments of the land 11
. works Jiave generally been in '1
effective, yet the peculiar topo- c'
graphical conditions of Port
Arthur make immunity from a'
serious loss from bombardment ^
almost impossible. Admiral
Togo's torpedo flotilla opened P
the action by boldly steaming '(
in under tho batteries and sue- P
cessfully placing a number of ^
mechanical mines at the mouth ^

t no re was a desperate bow to

boat destroyers, in which NV
the Japanese appear to have 1'
scored a clear victory. Then c
followed a long range duel be- ,

huge projectiles that were fired
at the city. The bombard men t
was deliberate and carefully
planned. 111 order to aid in per li
fecting the firing Admiral Togo ^
stationed tbo cruisers in a posi- '
tion due east of the entrance to b

ic pension money was in the

KUROPATKIN MOVINU TO
THE FRONT.
Commander-in-Chief oi Russian
Army Hailed a Savior.
St. Petersburg, March 12.?
Gen. Kuropatkin, accompanied
by his staff, left here at C o'clock
this evening on a special train for
the far east, where he will take
command of
-..v. v,. inv Luuvuuimii ai iLiy .
The departure of the general
was marked by a demonstration
of patriotism and personal regard
such as seldom have been witnessed
in the Russian capital.
The thousands of persons who
lined the Nevsky prospect and
the approaches to the Nicholas
railroad station, vied with the
highest persons in the empire
giving vent to expressions of confidence
in the new commander
who is to lead the emperor's armies
to victory.
Modestly and without the ac
companiment of music or escort
the general drove to the station
in an open carriage. Ilis passage
down the broad boulevard was
followed by a storm of cheers
which grew louder as the crowd
A-ew denser near the station.
Here the enthusiasm broke out
into mighty shouts.
As Gen. Kuropatkin reached
the head of the stairs Gen. Egi
--- ? ---
Miv niun, nuuo u<iii^-11 nuu (rem- r
bling witli emotion, presented
him with a small image ol Alexis.
Gen. Kuropatkin knelt reverently
and accepted the talisman. S
Gen. Kuropatkin then stepped o
forward. His strong personality u
was strikingly illustrated in t lie ^
way he moved through the room, i
His grizzled beard and piercing .
eyes suggested a resemblance to
Grant. He greeted all present,
embracing and kissing old comrades,
and shaking hands with v
olioers. c
The Corean minister to Russia,
who was as enthusiastic as any i
Russian, seemed to regard (Jen. i
Kuropatkin as the saviour of his ^
country. He pushed hard to get j
near enough to shake the pen- ^
eral's hand, and wish him every j
success. Several ladies who were
present could not retrain from
kissing the hero of the hour, and
the attention he gallantly recip- '
rocated. t
As the train slowly gathered ^
headway every voice in the vast c
multitude broke into a roar ol t
cheers and blessings. .

has had serious troub'e with his I
throat, is reported to be very *
much improved tonight, and the H
confident expectation is expressed '
that he will be able to leave the
city for the south during the .
present week for a period of recuperation.

The improvement is due to the
