PORT ARTHUR AGAIN Persistent Reports of Another Assault i Circulated HGHT IN PROGRESS OR IMMINENT I Advices From Chefoo to the Effect That a Grand Assault is Now Taking Place, or Will Occur Very Shortly. Chefoo, By Cable.?Local students of the military situation at Port Arthur, basing their deductions upon recent development there, are of the opinion that another grand assault is either occurring at the present time or is imminent. This opinion is based on the very heavy bombardment of the Russian stronghold that occurred on Sept. 16th, j for such a bombardment forms the usu- | al prelude to an assault; on the arrival here of important messengers from Port Arthur at a time when the run- | ning of the blockade is extremely per- j ilous; on a recent authoritative statement that Japanese siege works are ! completed, and on reports from Japanese sources that at Port Dalny an as- | salt was expected to take place in a J few days. These reports were received last week. I In addition to the foregoing there is the common knowledge that the Japanese realize that their continued inactivity increases the resisting of the Russian garrison, and their consequent desire to make such period of inactivity as brief as possible. Why Kuroki Failed. London, By Cable.?The Times corespondent with General Kuroki in a dispatch dated Liao Yang, Sept. 7, and at the conclusion of a long account of the battle there, says: "General Kuroki's flank movement failed owing to the tactics of General Kun^atkin, who trusted the half of Lis army would suffice to hold the Jap?"*u Tnitsp river. His fanese suum iUv forces were so strongly posted end he possessed such a secure line of retreat that the soundness of the course adopted must appeal to tacticians. In ony case it upset the calculations of the Japanese, who counted upon comparatively feeble resistance to their flanking movement. There are indications to show that while the Russians contemplated a determined effort at check they feared throwing down the gauntiet and fighting a pitched battle. They had very small reserve supplies at Liao Vang, trusting to the railway for supplies. The proof of this is that they left practically nothing for the Japanese captured sufficient to supply their army only for one day. After the Russian retirement to the east bank of the river their position presented a scene of carnage unparalleled in European warfare. A remarkable feature of the fighting on the flank was the evidence that the Japanese proved the value of their lines as compared with heavy continental formations. The Russian's ' lack of dash indicated prudence I against jeopardizing their ritirement." i 1 -Unanet<> CaDtures. | Tokio, By Cable.?Marquis Oyama, , commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces in the field, telegraphed Monday j morning that General Oku had j reported having captured thirteen prisoners at the battle of i Liao Yang. He also gave a detailed j list of the Russian stores which General Oku captured, including 30 horses 2,288 rifles and 127 ammunition wag, ons, 5,^92 rounds of artillery, 659,930 small arms cartridges, great quantities of timber, flour, rice, forage, engineerj lng implements, clothing and accoutrements. Another Georgia Lynching. Atlanta, Special.?A special to The Constitution from Royster, Ga., says: Judge Lynch held court in Franklin county and as a result the riddled body of John Ware, a negro, is swinging from the limb of a tree between here and Carnesville. Ware was done to death by a mob for fatally shooting C. Y. Daniel, a son of George Daniel, of Danielsville. Young Daniel and the negro had some words .over a trivial matter. It is said the negro, becoming greatly enraged and saying that no white man should run over him, drew a pistol and shot Daniel, the bullet inflicting a wound that will prove fatal. 1 Market. lYIdllUIicoiwi w???i?

Eight of the ten persons on the little craft were drowned. From farther down the coast ?Jacksonville?comes the report that 5 men were drowned off Charleston. This report was brought in by one of the coast liners. Halifax, N. S., is now mourning a $500,000 fire. While this fire was not directly due to the storm, the flames were fanned and driven forward by the high wind which prevailed. New York suffered comparatively lit tie. The wind and rain and lightning and thunder were terrific, but little damage was done. Nineteen coal barges went adrift in the bay and their wreckage strews the shore from the battery to the narrows, but no lives were lost.

The Russian Auxiliary Cruiser Will Have to Depart From San Francisco in a Short Time or Remains Until the Termination of the Russian-Japanese War. Oyster Bay, Special.?Tiie Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena, which put into the port of San Francisco Sunday, presumably from Vladivostock, either will have to leave that port within a brief time prescribed by this govern* ment or will have to dismantle. That in brief, it can be stated authorittatively, is the decision of the American government. If in the judgment of the experts who arc making an examination the vessel can be made seaworthy in 24 hours, orders will be issued to her % commander to leave port at tho expiration of that period. Indeed, it may be within the discretion of the government to glvo her commander a little more time if that be advisable. On the contrary, if the report should show that the ship is in actual need ^ of extensive repairs, and the overhauling and the making ot the repairs would occupy any considerable time, the captain would be directed to dismantle the vessel and she will remain in that conditioc till the termination of the RussianJapanese war. It Is not anticipated that serious difficulties or embarrassments to this government will grow out of the pending incident. The State Department, through trhioh matters Dertainine to the ar rival and examination of the Lena are being handled, has notified Mr. Takhira, the minister of Japan in Washington, of the action of this government and of which it expects to do in the future. He has expressed his satisfaction at the present status of the affair. The Case of the Lena. Washington, Special.?The development of the day, so far aa it related to the Russian cruiser Lena in San Francisco, was the clearing of the official muddle into which the case has gotten, owing to the doubt of which of the five departments of the government should deal with it. It was finally decided by the Prseident that the State and Navy Departments should treat the case, acting jointly, a decision calculated to greatly simplify its handling. Over night came a telegram from Admiral Goodrich, at San Francisco, showing that on his own initiative he had caused one of his expert officers to make a preliminary examination of the Lena and he was able to report results, namely, that temporary repairs would occupy six weeks' time, and new boilers would involve eight months' delay. The President approved of this action by the admiral and decided that hen should continue to handle the case in San Francisco, under instructions from the State and Navy Departments. This involved a further expert opinion of the 3hlp. The admiral adopted the precaution "* '* * ?LIm />nm of guarding tee Lena, wan ma unu vessels, a course also approved by^ the Department. Agreeable to the President's instructions. Acting Secretary Adee, for the State Department, and Captain Pillsbury, for the Navy . Department, had two conferences during the day and the result was the preparations of instructions to Admiral Goodrich. There is good ground to believe that they contemplate the allowance of sufficient time to the Lena to make sufficient repairs. However, there is growing belief here that the vessel will be obliged to intern in the end, for It is scarcely doubted that by the time she could be made ready to go to sea and would be obliged to leave If she desired to Dreserve her character cs an active warship, one or more Japanese would be off the Golden Gate ready to sink or capture her. Foreseeing such an event as a request for the right to intern, the officials have already been giving some attention to the solution of the question as to what shall be done with the crew?whether they may be allowed to return to Russia on parole or must be interned on their ship in Ban Francisco harbor. On this point no decision has been reached. A Derelict Picked Up. New York, Special?The steamer Pathfinder arrived from Norfolk with the derelict British schooner Theta ir. tow.
