By Cable.?Vice Admiral To-1 go's official recital of the latest en-1 gagement off Port Arthur, which was received here Sunday, shows that the Japanese have blocked the entrance to the harbor. On Tuesday morning after the blockading flotilla had been scattered by a gale and the commander of the flotilla had signalled in vain that the attempt be abandoned pending the moderation of the storm, the crews of the separate vessels, in no wise daunted by the weather which isolated them from their companions, proceeded to the work on their own desperate initiative. They forced their way in the face of the Russian fire, which was more deadly than ever before, as a result of the improved Russian defenses, over the field of mines. Many of them exploded, yet five of the Japanese blockading ships were jammed into the channel and now prevent egress from the harbor to all craft excepting small boats. This attack exceeded all its predecessors in desperation and the courage displayed by the volunteer crews is equal to that shown in any event in the war history of the world. Although Vice Admiral Togo again avoided damage to a single one of his vessels, the attack proved to be expensive in lives. Commander Hayashl, who was in command of the expedition. observed the impossibility of keening the flotilla intact, owing to the heavy seas, and signalled to abandon the attack. These signals were repeated until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, but they failed to reach the vessels of the expedition, which were swept apart by the tempestuous sea and proceeded separatly to the mouth of the harbor. Driven From New Chwang. New Chwang. By Cable.?There is every indication that the Russians have decided to evacuate New Chwang. Troops hav been leaving here all day long. Forts have been dismantled and all artillery has been placed on board trains. All the local transportation has been commanded by the Russian authorities. There is current here a native rumor that Japanese troops are in Fou Chou Bay (on the west side of the Liao Tung * *? ? ? 1 - miloc nnrtH peninsuia, anu auuui oiacj ujuco uwiw* of Port Arthur), but this report lacks confirmation. a e|h(e(Hrerda,tffs.cB.yedaeibhaijrve The fear is held here that if the Russians leave and the Japanese do j not at once take possession of New Chwang. the brigands, who are now across the river near Yin Kow, will i pillage the place. The foreign resi-, dents are prepared to resist the brigands should they come over. The! British consul has requested that a gunboat be sent to New Chwang. The Russians probably will destroy the gunboat SivAitch before leaving.; The vessel is at New Chwang. Japanese troops fired on what was probably the last train out of Port ! Arthur as it passed near Port Adams. | Serious Fire Raging. Williamsport, Pa.. Special.?A telephonic message from Coudersport, Potter county, to The Gazette and Bulletin, states that fire of unknown origin is raging in me uanow uiass worKa, | manufacturers of decorated glass tableware, and that the plant is practically destroyed. The loss will be from $50.000 to $75,000, but the insurance is not known. One hundred hands are thrown out of employment. ! Two Lynchings. Montgomery, Special?Two lynchings have occurred in Alabama within the past 30 days, one for alleged criminal assault, and the other for an alleged assassination of a white man by a 1 negro. Acting Governor Cunningham Friday took decided action to have these lynchings investigated and the guilty punished. He addressed letters to Pirrnit .Tndees W. S. Anderson and T. Scott Sayre. calling their attention to the! ynchings and urging them to hold special terms of tneir respective courts to bring the lynchers to justice. He gave an interview in which he said: "I believe that prc-npt effort to bring lynchers to justice will not only make the law a terror to criminal?, but also to those who disregard it by substituting lynching? '?* courts of justice." A Triple Hanging. Winchester. Tenn., Special.?Henry Judge, Joe Delp and John Evans were hanged here for the murder of Simon Bueher and his w-ife last Ausust. The three men exhibited the same indirference and stolidity that marked tneir conduct during the trials and walked without assistance to the scaffold. Each of them made a speech expressing preparedness. All said that their only regret was that they were leavI ing their wives and children. None } of them made any reference to the i deed for which they paid the penalty. ! IS BLOCKED They used artillery and small arms, und killed or wounded several Chinese.

He barely escaped from there before the Japanese closed the lines of communication. The Russian general staff have moved from Liao Yang to Mukden. Russians here will not talk of the situation, for fear that they will impart some information. They do not consider that their forces here are sufficient to hold this section of the couutry. It is probable that the Russian troops will withdraw to Harbin. The Russian civilians at . New Chwang are leaving hurriedly, and many natives are fleeing the city in fear that they will be subjected to mal-treatment at the hands of the brigands. More Bad News for Russia. Two official dispatches calculated to increase the denression existing among all circles in Russia were given out Sunday night From the point of view of the progress of the campaign, the most important is that regarding the capture by the Japanese without opposition of Feng Wang Cheng, on May 6th. The second gives details concerning the killed, wounded and missing among the troops under the command of Lieutenant General Zassalitch, as the result of the fighting on the Yalu, the number of which totals 2,397 officers and men. Gen. Kuropatkin forwarded a message from Lieutenant General Zassalitch. who had been left in command of the column retiring from Feng Wang Cheng, which described the movements of the enemy in connection with the occupation of the town. The information caused no surprise to the official* who had already been advised of the decision that no attempt would be made to hold Feng Wang Cheng, the superiority of the Japanese in all fighting arms ensuring a disaster similar to that a Kiu Lien Cheng. Therefore. Gen. Zassalitch was given strict orders that there should be no fij^it of the rear guard. I ur fiuasiaua icii nuuv uvu. ?utvm was making his dispositions for a big battle. More Casualties. Tokio. By Cable.?The casualties in the last attempt of the Japanese fleet to block Port Arthur, which took place on May 3. are one officer, Commander Takyangi, commanding the steamer Yedo Maru. and six men killed, four men seriously and five officers and 11 men slightly wounded. Fourteen officers and 74 men are missing and eight officers and 36 men were rescued uninjured. All the officers of the blockading ships, including Commander Takayangi, who was killed, have been decorated and granted annuities by the Emperor. ? The Forty-Million Warrant. Washington, Special.?The Treasury warrant for $40,000,000 to be delivered to J. P. Morgan & Co., of New York, on account of the Panama Canal purchase, was taken to that city by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw. It will be delivered by the Secretary to Bcrgan & Co. Thursday.
