Cable Message That Japs and Russians Had Engaged In Naval Battle and Many Ships Sunk Has been Denied. Information Given at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Feb. 9.?The special | cablo sent lrom this city teday to tho ; effect that the Russians and Japanese j had Engaged in a naval battl eand j eleven ships of the Japanese had been j destroyed and one ship of the Russians sunk, is untrue. The information was given out in 1 St. Petersburg as official, but has been discovered to be untrue. St. Petersburg, Feb. 9.?An official dispatch received here says that the Japanese torpedo boats have attacked the Russian squadron in the outer roads at Port Arthur and that three Russian ships were damaged. Admiral Alexieff's official report of the attack by the Japanese is as follows: "1 most rospectfully inform your ma Jesty that at or about midnight of Feb. 8-9, Japanese torpedo boats made a sudden attack by moans of mines upon the Russian squadron lu tho outer roada'of the fortress of Port Arthur, In which the battleships Retvizan and Cosarevlteh and the cruisyr Pallada were damaged.

Feb. !).?Japanese torpedo boats attacked the Russian fleet here during the night and three of the Russian ships were badly damaged. The Japanese, wh othus scored tho first success of the war, escaped undamaged. A special telegram from St. Petersburg says that three Russian ships at Port Arthur were severely damaged last night by torpedoes discharged from the Japanese tropedo boats while the latter were passing the harbor. Subsequently a large fleet of Japanese battleships and cruisers appeared before the port. RUSSIA WILLING to r. n n r. f n f Said To Be Making Desperate Efforts to Have Powers Intervene. London, Feb. 9.?Tbe Japanese minister, Baron Hayas!*'., tlris evening said: "Russia is making desperate efforts through the various embassies, to have the powers intervene. Russia is now willing to concede everything, but the oiler comes too late." Baron Hayashi added: "I learn on good authority that the reply of Russia intended to send merely reiteratod all th ecardinal points to which Japan consistently objected." Consternation in Paris. Paris, Feb. 9.?The news of the first Japanese attack with torpedo ** boats on the Russian fleet off Port Arthur created consternation here. The officials of the foreign oilice were among the first to receive the in' formation and their advices were similar to thoso of the St. Petersburg offieial CI nr. At to ehftiulnu ... ? 11? , MUUn>uB IUUL lllK XVUSslau battleships and one cruiser were damaged and also showing that four torpedo boats made the attack. An official of the foreign office said: "It is profoundly to be regretted that such a decisive step has been taken, as it terminates the efforts the powers might have made to avert actual warfare." Information has been received here showing that the Uritish government will issue a declaration of neutrality within a few days, perhaps immediately, and that France will take the same course within a day or two. Regarded as Staggering. London, February 9.?Naval men in London regard the result of Japan's first attack with torpedo boats on the Russian fleet off Port Athur as staggering. They point out that Viceroy Alexleff's reference to "mines'" obviously meant "topcdoos" and said that if the Russian vessels had been struck by "Whitehead" torpedoes the,? have been sunk or are resting on the wvtltsl I T* D <nuu 4u x i/ii. niniui, 111 ?njr v;asc, nupy lessly out of action for a considerable time. WHAT LED TO RUPTURE. Lengthy Official Communication Gives Russian Account. St. Petersburg, Fob. 9.?A lengthy official communication issued today gives the Russian account of the negotiations which led to the rupture. "Last year," says the foreign office note, "the Tokio cabinet, under the pretext of establishing the balnnco of power and a more settled order of things on the shores of ("he Pacific, submitted to the Imperial government a proposal for the revision of existing treaties with Korea. Russia consented and Viceroy Alexloff was charged to draw up a project for a new understanding with Japan In co-operation with the Russian minister at Tokio, who was entrusted with the negotiate Tokio cabinet on this subject wers tlons with the Japanese government. Although the exchange of views with ot a friendly character, Japanese social circles and the local and foreign press attempted in every way to produce a war-like ferment among the Japanese and to drive the government Into an armed conflict with Russia. Under the influence thereof, the Tokio cabinet began to formulate greater and greater demands in the negotiations at the same time taking most extensive measures to make the country ready for war. All tfieso circumstances could not. of course, disturb Russia's equanimity but they induced her to also take military and naval measures. Nevertheless, to preserve peace in thn Fnr it*iiof o.? *? IlUUlll i)tl IJtr as her incontestable rights ana interests permitted, gave the necessary attention to the demands of the Toldo cabinet, and declared herself ready to recognize Japan's privileged commercial and economic position in the Korean peninsunla, with the concessions of the right to protect it by military force in the event of disturbances in thab country. At the same time, while rigorously observing the fundamental principle of her policy regarding Korea whose independence and integrity were gu. anteed by previous understanding with Japan and by treaties with other powers. Russia insited on three points: "1. A mutual and conditional guarantee of this principle. "2. On an undertaking to use no part of Korea for strategic purposes as the authorization of such action on the part of anv foreicn nnw?r woo 1 , .. I directly opposed to the principle of independence of Korea. "3. In the preservation of tiie full freedom of navigation of the straits of Korea*. "Th? project elaborated in this sense did not satisfy the Japanese government, which, in its last proposals, not only declined to accept tlio conditions which appeared as the guarantee of the independence of Korea, but also began at tho same time to insist on provisions to be incorporated in a project regarding the question of Manchuria. Such questions on the part of Japan naturally were inadmissible, the question of Russia's position in Manchuria, concerning in tho first place, China, hut also all the powers having commercial interests in China. The imperial government, therefore, saw ahsnllltolv ri/-? ? 1..-I , ?.V J ?*v* ivuotm IU Iliuiliur in n special treaty with Japan regarding Korean affairs, any provision concerning territory occupied by Russian troops. The imperial government, however, did not refuse, so long as the occupation of Manchuria lasts to recognize both the sovereignty of the emperor of China in Manchuria and also the rights acquired there by other powers through treaties with China. A declaration to this effect has already been made to foreign cabinets. In view of this the imperial government, after charging its representative at Tokio to prevent its reply to the last proposal of Japan, was justified in expecting the Tokio cabinet to take into account the considerations set forth above and that it would appreciate the wish manifested by Russia to come to a peaceful understanding with Japan. Instead of this, tho Japanese government, not even awaiting this reply, decided to break off negotiations and suspend diplomatic relations. The imperial government, while laying on Japan the full responsibility for any consequences of such a course of action, will await the de velopmcnt of events and the moment It becomes necessary, will take the most decisive moasures for the protection of its rights and interests in the Far East." London, Feb. 9.?Baron Hayashi nays the Japanese fleet is not likely to blockade Port Arthur. Flis knowledge of the Japanese naval plans, as tentatively propared, leads him and others here to believe that the Japanese fleet is nqw lying between Chee Foo and the Yalu river, screening the landing of troops?one army corps at Fusan and two at Pen Yang, Korea. Night torpedo attacks on the part of the Japanese fleet will, it is believed, be kept up so long as the Russian fleet maintains its necessarily open position outside of Port Arthur. This will be done in the hope of breaking up the Russian nervo. The troops landing at Pen Yang will bo pushed towards the Manchuri* an frontier. Those at Fusan will proceed to Seoul. Unless Vicerop Aloxieff assumes th<j aggressive, no serious navy battlo Is expected until the disembarkation of the Japanese troops Is completed. A dispatch from Romo saying that the Japanese government has purchased a Chilean battleship El Capita/i Pratt, cruiser Chambuco and gunboat Almirante Condel, was pronounced untrue by Ilaron Hayashl. The Nippon company's Ix)ndon agents have heard nothing of the alleged capture of the steamer Inaba Maru near Hong Kong by Russian warships, as reported by a news agency in the United States today. It is asserted here that Russia had not a warship in the vicinity of Hong .Kong and that, therefore, the Inaba Maru cannot have been captured. Died at Age of 102. Dayton, O., Feb. 9.?Phillip Keifer, a wealthy retired manufacturer, died today at the ago of 102 years. He drank six cups of coffee daily all his , life, and was an Inveterate user of toi baeco. I j FIRE TO B008T MONEY RATE8. Financiers Believe Rate Will Advance by Heavy Demands. Atlanta, Feb. 9.? Rates on money will go up from \\'z per cent to 6 per cent on acocant of the Baltimore fire, It is thought by local financiers. This may not apply to Atlanta in the Immediate future, but It is almost certain to reach this section soon, and i preparations to meet such a oontlnI gency will be made at once. A number of the houses burned were among the strongest financial fn' ptitutions in the Unitod States, and they have lost very heavily. It la said that it will bo necessary for thorn to borrow largo sums to meot thoir outstanding obligations, and as there is a very general demand for ready money at this season and during the coming two months, the rates are sure to be raised. This will affect the south especially, as a groat proportion of the merchants of this section purchase their goods in Baltimore. As a rule, the business of the merchants of Atlanta and the outlying towns is done in Now York and Baltimore, and as most of the wholesale houses of the latter city have been destroyed and cannot be replaced within the next 12 months, a great part of the business of the southern company stores II be transferred to Atlanta. Already many of those small dealers had begun to come j here to do their trading, and the fact | mai me nearest northern market, as It was considered, is destroyed, wcause more of them to make their selections of goods in this market. Local people state that they are amply supplied with the artirVes usually bought of the greatest supply business done Baltimore and that they can handle their trade without embarrass-" ment. One of the great supply business done in Baltimore was 'hat ol millinery. In this respect Atlanta is peculiarly fortunate, as there are a number of such establishments here. NEW RAILROAD FOR DUBLIN. Georgia Men Will Construct a Line From Dublin to Eastman. Dublin, Ga., Feb. 9.?Dublin is to have another railroad.

Dublin and Savannah road will bo used, traffic ar- 1 rangements having already been made, j Civil Engineer J. P. Pughsley has charge of the work of locating the line. A survey was made several years ago and it will require but little work now in locating the old survey. INDICTMENTS RETURNED. 8niffen Sharged with Carrying on a Scheme for Beguiling. New York, Fob. 9.?After an investigation which lasted three days, tho United States grand jury has returned three indictments against Edwarf Snift'on, who is charged with carrying on a scheme for beguiling western property delevolpors into paying him large fees, for which he promised to float their bonds on the market at par arter obtaining trust companies to act as trustees and guaranters.
