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

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. An inspection is being
made to ascertain the character
of the damage. Details are following
lor your majesty."
Port Arthur. 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

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

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.

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. It will be
built from Dublin to Eastman and
perhaps other points in southeast
Georgia. Surveyors have begun work
of locating the line aiYfi as soon as this
is done work will be commenced.
Four hundred tons of steel rails
have been purchased and are now on
the way to Dublin. The road will be
built first to the plant of the Rentfc
.Lumber company, about 10 miles from
Dublin, and will be finished to Eastman
later.
In a few days application for the !
charter of the railroad will be applied
for by Messrs. E. P. Rentz, of this
city, and W. D. Harper and John J. I
Simeon, of Atlanta. The line will [
uuiimicuue hi me uuuiin cotton mills, j
From that point into tho city the j
tracks of the Macon. 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.

which lasted three days, tho
United States grand jury has returned

Detectives on Guard.
New York, Feb. 9.?Detectives are
on guard at the ferries here to prevent
the exodus to Baltimore of known
thieves who might attempt to visit
that city to prey on the devastated district.
The officers were ordered by
Inspector McCluskey, of the detective
bureau, to bring In every, criminal

New York, Fob. 9.?A great Ice
gorge has formed In the Delawaro river,
10 miles below Hancock, N. Y.
The gorge extend for several mlTes
up both the east and west branches
from Hancock. Oreat damngo Is being
done to railroad property and farm
lands. The railroad and highway
bridges are threatened. People living

New York, Feb. 9.?Holland has
