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."

| Tokio, By Cable.?Marquis Oyama,
, commander-in-chief of the Japanese
forces in the field, telegraphed Monday

j list of the Russian stores which General
Oku captured, including 30 horses

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.

)ECIS!ON IN CASE OF THE LENA
' m ?
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

derelict up at sea last Sunday
near the Five-fathom bank lightship,
while bound from Norfolk for

She was leaking badly, but was kept
afloat by the cargo of hard pine timber
in her hold. The Theta is a threemasted
