.ANOTHW ATTACK I Japanese Torpedo Fleet Again Goes After the Russians. The Czar's Fleet at Port Arthur Suffers Once More al Hands of Japs. One Russian Warship Is Reported to Have Been Put Out of Commission by Torpedo. Admiral Alexieff Leaves Port Arthur for Harbin—Talk of Reorgan'zation. There Are Many Evidences of Demoritization Among the Russian Forces. Tokio, Feb. 17. —A report has just reached here that the Japanese torpedo fleet re-attacked the Russian fleet at Port Arthur Feb. 14 and it is | thought that one Russian war ship was damaged. | London. Feb. 17.—N0 war news of I i importance appears in the London 1 I newspapers today but the press attaches the greatest significance to the departure of Viceroy Alexieff from > Port Arthur a”d comments upon the sudden throwing of Russian troops into New Chwang as indicating Russian apprehension that Port Arthur i Is in danger and that the Japanese | attack may not after all be made where I it is expected, on the Yalu. All the reports tend to confirm the j impression that Russia has little or I nothing to expect from sea operations. I According to one dispatch 400 torpe- i does, being two-thirds of Russia’s en- I tire available supply of these articles, , were destroyed on board the Russian I cruiser Variag at Chemulpo. A Tokio correspondent cables that i It is stated officially that several , thousand Russian troops have reached : Antur.g and that it is rumored that < 20.000 Russians have arrived at Ping Yang on the Tatong river, in Central Korea. This rumor, however, is regarded as improbable unless the Invasion of Korea preceded the outbreak ' of hostilities. A correspondent at Chemulpo makes the astonishing statement that Japan has already landed 120,000 troops In Korea. 80.000 < f whom are extended along the fighting front, south of the Yalu river. According to special dis patches here this morning from Tokio, the Russian squadron has returned to Vladivostock. A Tokio correspond- i ent says in a dispatch that two Rus- ' sian war ships appeared off Oki Isl- j and. in the southern part of the Japanese sea Sunday. In a dispatch from Port Arthur a correspondent gives a description of ; seven Russian warships which he says are lying disabled there. They include the battleships Sevastopol and Petrolovosk. which have not been named in previous reports of the action. The correspondent says altogether eleven Russian ships were put out of action at Port Arthur. Continuing, he declares that the Japanese were driven from the neighbor- , hood of Kinchau, near New Chwang. after a skirmish, in which 150 Japanese were taken prisoners and 70 Rus•ians killed. In another dispatch from Tokio one correspondent says the local newspapers are publishing long accounts of the ill-treatment of Japanese in Man- i churia. and that the Japanese gov- 1 ernment has requested the United i States to take measures for the protection of Japanese subjects there. — A REIGN OF TERROR Atrocities Being Perpetrated on For- I eigners by Russians. New Chwang, Feb. 17.—Viceroy Alexieff has left Port Arthur proceeding to Harbin with Gen. Pflug, the chief of staff, and the general staff It Is said that the Russian army and navy commands will be reorganized and that Gen. Kerpatsky will command the Yalu division, which is expected to be attacked by the Japanese forces. Atrocities are daily perpetrated on foreigners and natives both by the organized police and in-corning troops, which makes it impossible for the civil administrator of New Chwang to control the situation. It is feared that a reign of terror will be precipitated if the neutral powers remain inactive. A captain of police, with ten soldiers, without any provocation, destroyed the contents of a hotel, owned by a German, where three Japanese had registered under the protection of the civil administrator. These Japanese were bound, stabbed and robbed of food money and jewelry. They were rescued with difficulty by United States Consul Miller, together with three women refugees, all of whom the civil administrator has assured Mr. Miller would be protected. Ilea Interferes With War. St. Petersburg. Feb 17.—A dispatch received here from Port Arthur de-rm-s that the Japanese sre landing at Chin-Mang Tao, a port ou the southern

| border of Manchuria, close to the ChlI neae Northern railroad. The sea there i is covered with ice for a distance of ! fourteen miles from the shore and this would make landing extremely difficult. No Japanese have been seen 1 ou the Yalu river. Evidences of Incomoetency. St. Petersburg. Feb. 17. —Official advices have been received to the effect that another Russian vessel, the cruis- ■ er Boyarin, has been blown up through I the bungling of her own officers. | vVhile laying mines in Port Arthur one of the mines exploded and the cruiser was lost, with all on board. 197 In number. This disaster, coming within less than a week after the transport Yenisei, with ninety-one men, was blown up in a similar manner, leads ■ to the conclusion that some responsible officer at Port Arthur is grossly incompetent. The firing by shore batteries upon three of their own torpedo ; boats emphasizes this conclusion. Appreciative Japanese Press. Tokio, Feb. 17. —The entire press of ,’apan is united in expressing keen appreciation of the deep and general sympathy which is being shown Japan | by western countries, and argues that , this war will be the means of drawing the East and West more closely toI gether. Stimulating Their Courage. St. Petersburg, Feb. 17. —Viceroy Alexieff. on Feb. 16, issued an order of the day admonishing the soldiers with regard to patriotic duty and expressing his confidence in victory, PANAMA’S FIRST PRESIDENT — Dr. Manuel Amador Was Elected Without Opposition. Panama. Feb. 17. —Dr. Manuel Amador was unanimously elected first president of the first republic of Pana1 DR. MANUEL AMADOR. ma yesterday. Dr. Pablo Arosemena. Domingo uhaldia and Dr. Carlos Mendona were elected to fill respectively i the positions of first, second and third designados or vice-presidents.

Va„ Feb. 17.—Henry Will- 1 iarns, a burly negro who at noon on Jan. 30, last, entered the home of George J. Shields, a well known business man. and outraged Mrs. Shields and then murderously assaulted her ! and her three-year-old daughter with | j a hatchet, razor and pocket knife and i left them for dead, has been sentenced by Judge Wooods in the corporation court to be hanged March 18, next. Uneasiness at Vienna. Vlenra. Feb. 17.—The situation in the Balkans is creating great uneasiness here. The official denial of the rumors of the mobilization of Austrian troops has failed to reassure the public, and it is still asserted that the ’ government intends to mobilize two army corps provisionally for the purpose of guarding the Balkan frontier because of fears that Turkey will provoke Bulgaria into war. Jumped From Steamship. Miami, Fla.. Feb. 17.—Suffering from a recent attack of illness and enroute ; home, Louis E. Sears, of the Sears i Shoe company, of New York city, com- I mltted suicide by jumping from the [ steamship Martinique, twenty-five ' miles off the Florida coast. The Mar- | tlnique was stopped as soon as possl- I ble but no trace of Sears’ body could be discovered.
