A DESPERATE ATTEMPT.
Japs Fail To Bottle Up Russian Fleet
At Port' Arthur-Torpedo
Battle.
St. Petersburg, March 27.-Under
cover of darkness this morning Vice
Admiral Togo made another desper
ate atttempt to bottle up the Rus
sian fleet in Port Arthur. but he fail
ed again, and when after daylight
Vice Admiral Makaroff steamed out
to give battle. the Japanese command
er refused the challenge and sailed
away.
The Japanese practically repeated
the tactics of February 24 by sending
ig four fire ships, preceded by a tor
pedo boat flotilla, with the exception
that the fire ships this time were
armed with Hotchkiss guns for the
purpose of keping off the Russian
torpedo boats destroyers.
The enemy's attempt was discov
ered by means of the shore search
lights and a heavy fire was opened
from the batteries, and from two
gunboats, which were guarding the
entrance to the harbor. The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Silni was out
side on scouting duty, and to the dash
and nerve of her commander, Lieut.
Krinizki, is chiefly due the complete
defeat of the plans of the Japanese.
He at once made straight for the on
coming ships under a hail of fire
K from the Hotchkiss guns, and torpe
doed the leading ship. which sheered
off, followed by .the others, three oi
them being piled up on the shore un
der Golden Hill and one under the
light house. The Silni then engaged
the entire six torpedo boats of the
enemy. coming out from a terrific
fight with seven killed and her com
mander and twelve of her complement
wou~tnded, but on the Japanese side
only one boat's crew was saved. In
addition. according to unofmcial re
po.rts, it is believed that the Japanese
l'ot two torpedo boats.
The Japanese cruisers, which sup
p)orted the attack, exchanged shots
with the batteries and then drewv off,
after which Vice Admiral Makaroff

torpedo flotilla folloved by Vice Ad
miral Togo's fleet, came up from a
southerly direction. Just at day
break Vice Admiral Makaroff with
his fleet sailed out to engage the en
emy. but after the ships and batteries
had fired a few long-distance shots.
Vice Admiral Togo decided to de
cline the issue and disappeared to the
southward.
The news of the repulse of Vice
Admiral Togo's second attempt to
block Port Arthur created much re
joicing in the Russian capital and
among all classes the gallantry of
the Silni and her commander are the
subject of high praise, but above all
the moral effect of Admiral Maka
roff's willingness to engage the ene
my, showing that he considered him
self strong enough to fight, produced
a splendid impression.

Editor Herald and News: Will you
please inform me whether any of
the descendants of a family of Gor
Idons, who lived in Newberry county
(or that district, as it was called then)
between about 1795 and 1845, are still
around there? I am a grandson of
one, Nancy Gordon (maiden name).
She married an Irishman named
Robert Smith sometime in the 1820's;
and subsequently emigrated to Geor
gia and then to Alabama. arriving in
Alabama about 1834 or 1835. If there
are any~ of them left I would be glad
tot learn their addresses. My object
is t, dnd what has become of her
br'.thers and sisters. My grandmoth
er and grandfather have been dead
ft r 22 and 24 years. respectively,
bo th having lived to the ripe age of
8o years. They lived on the first
place they settled on in .\labama for
about fifty years and both died thre.
I was b(rn and rearedl on an adjoin
in arm owned by~ my father and
emigrated to Texas alone in January.

HAVIRD'S ARM CUT OFF.
The Operation Was Performed On
Sunday By Dr. 0. B. Mayer
Havird May Recover.
Dr. 0. B. Mayer went to Saluda
on Sunday and amputated the right
arm of Pope Havird, who was shot
on the igth of this month by John
Yarbrough. The operation was very
successful and ,Dr. Mayer hopes that
Havird will get well.
The circumstances of the shooting
and unusual circumstances preced
ing it. are remembered. Yarbrough
was working Havird's land and Hav
ird was nailing tip a barn on the place
worked by Yarbrough when the dif
iculty was had. Havird had prev
iously asked the governor ror pro
tection. saying that his life had been
threatene-l. It is said that these
threats had no connection wvith the
shooting. but it is a very strange co
incidence.
It is said that H avird's farming
lands are in excellent condition and
cop!are most favorably with those
irr(unding him. It will be remem
l:ered that when the sheriff of Saluda
went down to investigate Havird's
request fot protection the report was
sent out trom Saluda that Havird was
not in his right mind. The condition

Scientists Think Eart. uake Shows
New England Near
Dissolution.
Chicago ?hronicle.
A dispatch from Boston says that
the series of earthquakes that swept
across New England on Monday
morning of last ~week played queer
pranks with hanging chandeliers and
delicately balanced breakers, arrested
the attention of night workers and
prowlers. frightened those who have
had no earthquake experience in the
past and awakened some night
sleepers.
The seismic disturbance was appar
ently in thre waves, lashing only
a few seconds. It seemed to cross
New England from northeast to south
west and the time of reaching Boston
was recorded at the Harvard obser
vatory at 1:o.10r a. mn. Harrard's
geological authorities are not certamn
of the precise nature of the shock.
Prof. 3. A. Jagger, who was made
volcanic and earthquake phenomena
a special study thought the case
might be found in a small earth frac
ture at some point incidental to the
warming of the ground at this season.
Othr scientists thought that sections
of the earth were moving off into the
Atlantic ocean.
As a popular sensation the earth
quake was a success. Telephone op
erators in cities and towns from East

the west, and Newport on the south,

Maine the shock wvas the most severe,
