T oclook Mr. Do.-r announre! that th s nato;- h id recovered consciousness some time before and said that he had tried several times to speak to Dr. Osier, but was too weak. The doctors asked him to aid them in th application of thoxygen by taking deep breaths. H did as directed, thus showing: that h' fully understood what was said. It was also announced that the hart action wa better and that the temperature had lowered. A little later it was announced that the patient had taken a little nourishment, including some diluted whisky, and had retained it. A. :10 Senator Hanna's brother, on leaving the sickroom, said: ' Murk had a very severe chl'l, but is slowly coming out of It under the influence of powerful stimulants and oxygen. His temperature Is lower :u.1 be In breathing better." Prior to this those coming from the sickroom scarcely knew what to say regarding the senator's condition, so much depended on hit power to rally. It was stated -eral times that his breathing w.-is- h. tt-r. but at first it could not be told whether the breathing was natural or superficial and only Induced by the oxygen. Later the bulletin announcing the reaction and improved condition was Issued by the doctors, giving relief to the large number of the senator's friends, who were in his office and in the corridors of the Arlington. A greater portion of the Ohio delegation called to-day. also a long list of senators and members of the House, among them Senators Spooner. Lodge, Kean, Platt, of Connecticut, Elklns and Representatives Payne and Dalzell. Among the members of the Cabinet calling were Secretaries Taft and Cortelyou and Postmaster General Payne. Oencral lick. of ohlo. was one of the tlrst to arrive after the change in condition was noted, and he remains! until late. The .President and Mrs. Roosevelt called during the afternoon. Mrs. Roosevelt was with Mrs. Hanna when the doctors at noon announced an improved temperature. The President came later and remained in the senator's apartments marly half an hour when he was fully advised of the condition of the senator at that hour. He had not been gone long whtn the change occurred.

Of Baltimore, the assistant of Dr. Osier, came over to spend the night and relieve Dr. Carter of the watch over the senator. Senator Hanna. as the night wore on. continued, at least, to hold the rally he had shown, and at 11 o'clock the doctor said that the indications are that the senator would have a quiet and comfortable night. They aald that he. at that hour, was resting without any artificial aid, but oxygen in slight and diminishing doses was being given htm at Intervals of fifteen minutes. They said that the bulletin issued at 11 o'clock would be the last for the night unleaa something unforeseen occurred.

POST ARTHUR NOT YET MEN Bf JAPANESE, BUT Iff ßE INHEK OR TWO British Official Think There Is Xo Hope of Saving the Russian Stronghold. EASY TASK FOR ENEMY

Japanese Can Land at Pigeon Bay and Cut Off Russians Baron Hayashi's Advices. LONDON. Feb. 12. The British government has Information which leads It to believe that Japan is likely to be In poshesslon of Port Arthur week from now. In the best informed Japanese circles here It is privately thought the war will be over by July. These British officials who are cognizant of the extraordinary thoroughness with which Japan prepared for the war are inclin d to share the Japanese view regarding the duration of the struggle. Baron Hnyashi, summing up events In the far East, so far as they have gone, said to the Associated Press to-day: Whatever may be the eventful result of the war, Russia, in allowing us to occupy and fortify Masampho, has created for herself another I ;:rd;nelles. With the fortification of Masampho the Integrity of Japan is assured forever. No fleet can now puss there against Japan's wishes. Even It we arc beaten we would not give up AJasampho." The Associated Press understands that the Japanese troops are advancing rapidly towards the Yalu river. There it is expected they will meet and engage the Russian forces. The Japanese declare that the numbers of the Russian troops are greatly exaggerated. The plan of the Japanese appears to be to take the road which leads almost straight to Mukden. They profess to have no doubt that they will be able to drive back the Russian forces toward Har bin. Huron Hayashl points out that the ; Mukden road, though nominally under Russian military control, will be subject to constant raids from Chinese bands, who will swoop down from the hills. Proceeding diagonally, the Japanese intend to cut the line of communication between Port Arthur and the mainland of Manchuria, not only preventing reinforcements from reaching the Port Arthur garrison, but inflicting damagu upon the Manchuria Railroad. CAN LAND AT PIGEON RAY. The British view that the Japanese will In the meanwhile be able to occupy Port Arthur is chiefly based on the latest Information that the Russian guns cannot be brought to bear on any force landing at Pigeon Hay, which is on the western side of Port Arthur, and it is believed the Japanese admiral will follow tactics almost exactly similar to those intended to be pursued at Santiago, the troops storming the batteries In the rear while the Japanese fleet lies waiting for the ships of Viceroy Alexieff, who, in the event of a land attack being successful, must either make a dash for liberty with his crippled tleet or light where they are against practically hopeless odds. In spite of the lack of news It is confidently held here that the Japanese land forces are actively angacatf in a most important movement, which will come to a climax as swiftly as did Japan's first naval attack. The Japanese minister said: "Only those who went through the Chinese war can quite understand the emulation which exists between the Japanese navy and army. In the former war the army was all to the fore and no little jealousy existed between the two arms of the service, though our navy was then in its Infancy. Knowing the army as I know it there must now be tremendous anxiety to score a success equal to that Just made by the navy. You may look for some very ken land fighting." The advices of the Japanese minister further announce that M. Pavloff, the Russian minister at Seoul, and the Russlau legation guard have departed for China, and that the Russian officers and sailors who surrendered to the Japanese after the battle fought off Chemulpo will be sent to Shanghai under parole on the first neutral vessel available. The official telegram adds the Information that all the survivors of the Variag, Korietz and the transport Suugarl were taken on board the British, French and Italian warships off Chemulpo. M. Pavloff, from Seoul, reported that he asked Mr. Allen, the Fnlted States minister to Korea, to convey the survivors of the Russian ships to Shanghai or Che-Foo on board two American transports which were anchored off Chemulpo, after converting them into noncombatants, but the Japanese minister at Seoul was ultimately instructed to accept the French offer to take them to Shanghai on board the cruiser Pascal, on the condition that Russia agreed not to allow them to proceed northward from Shanghai during the war. The foregoing is the first reference made In the Eastern dispatches to the loss of the Bungarl. Apparently she was a Russian transport which had arrived off Chemulpo with the Intention of landing troops there, though no mention has been made of their capture by the Japanese. It was announced Feb. 7 from Tokio that Russian troops had beeu dispatched to Seoul. No confirmation has been received here of the reported attempts 4f the Japanese to land troops near Port Arthur. Captain Tamarl, the Japanese naval attache, discredits these rumors. He said: "The Japanese will never attempt to take Port Arthur from the sea alone." The captain attaches the greatest importance to the seizure of Masampho. Korea, as giving Japan command of the Straits of Korea ami preventing a Junction of the Russian squadrons. He thinks from the plans previously arranged that the main JMMM squadron is still in the vicinity of Port Arthur, probably preparing for another attack. RUSSIA 101 YET READY TO ANSWER HAT'S ROTE England's Course in Matter Causes Surprise in St. Petersburg Japanese in Peking. MAY FEAR YELLOW PERIL ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 10-Russia is evidently not prepared at this time to give an answer to the I'nited States to Secretary Hay's note on the subject of the neutrality of China. As previously stated in these dispatches, hostilities having begun, the military authorities must be consulted, and the Czar doubtless will refer the matter to Viceroy Alexieff If he has not already dono so. Russia. It can be said, is certainly as anxious as the United States that the war cause no risinfr or disorders In China. Indeed, the attitude of China Is alr-ad eauslng some misgivings here, as she has not yet declared her neutrality. It ia thought ht-re that the action of the Japanese In flooding Peking with posters relating thtir victories is part of a well-l: .1 campaign projotfJ fnm the beginning to braJ down Russia's prestige in China for thi purpose of ultimately effecting the union of the two races, which would make the "yellow peril" a reality. Russia has already learned of the position taken by several powers regarding Secretary Hay's note. Germany and Great Britain, it is undent h.th .-x press sympathy with Its purpose, but with an important reservation i one. rnlr.g Manchuria, which Is now the th-ater of war. Germany's views in this r apad were anticipated, but Great Britain's failure to give Secrttary Hay unqualified support has caused surprise !. re Klentor ink. Tvo-Mtory Drop.

Japanese Steamer Shelled and Sunk by a Russian Squadron

CCONCLT'DED FROM FIRST PAGE.; squadron at Chemulpo has probably been cent you already directly by Admiral Uria, as our advance squadron bore the brunt of the enemy's Are, and after the attack for the most part rejoined the main fleet. The Imperial princes on board the ships are unharmed. "The conduct of all our officers during the action was coo!, not unlike that during the ordinary maneuvers. Since the battle their spirits have been high, but their conduct v. i ery aim. This morning, owing to a heavy south wind, there has been no communication between the ships and no detatled report has been received from each v easel, so I report merely the above facts." RUSSIA INCREASING HER ARMY IN SIBERIA ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 12. An imperial ukase, dated Feb. 10, was issued to-day. It commands that all the troops in the military establishments in the Siberian military districts be placed in readiness for war, that all the divisions in the far Eastern vlcercalty be brought to war strength. and that the army and navy reserves in the Siberian and Kazan districts be called out .for active service. The authorities are empowered to requisition the necessary horses. It is positively asserted by the government that no telegrams have been received from Viceroy Alexieff except those already given out, and that It Is understood that even the Czar is expectantly awaiting for complete direct official information. At the Admiralty it was said that some additional technical details had been received, but nothing in regard to further fighting. The explanation of the Admiralty of the nonr. i . ipt here of direct news of the naval battle off Chemulpo was lack of cable connections. What additional Information the authorities have has been obtained from the Russian embassies abroad. The ambassador of Russia at Paris has sent a full story of the battle off Chemulpo in which he praises the heroic conduct of the Russian sailors. The movement of Russian troops eastward Is being pushed. Notice has b en given that emigration eastward is suspended. In fact, the Siberian Railroad is monopolized by the transportation of troops and war munitions to the complete exclusion of commercial traffic. The Dowag r Empress has issued a rescript to the Red Cross of Russia directing it to make provision to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded in the war with Japan. A branch of the Red Cross has been established in the new hermitage of the Winter Palace. The offers of Mortal have been so numerous that no more will be entertained at present. A continuance of the patriotic demonstrations, In which thousands of students and workmen participate, are reported from Moscow, Kleff and other places. Another patriotic demonstration occurred here this afternoon. An enormous procession, headed by choristers of the various churches, marched through the city. The demonstrators raised to their shoulders and cheered all the military officers they met on the streets. Massing in front of the Winter Palace, the crowd sang the national anthem. They all uncovered in spite of the fact that snow was falling. The Czar appeared at a window of the palace and was glveu a tremendous ovation. After leaving the palace the procession halted in front of the French embassy, and the ambassador, M. Bompard, and his wife and members of the embassy staff appeared for a few moments on the balcony and acknowledged the cheering. "The Geisha," a company which has been running here, has been withdrawn on account of the hostile demonstrations with which each performance was greeted. T'( t alar demonstrations follow each other almost continually here and In other cities throughout the empire. Hurrahs for the Czar and the national hymn were heard a dozen times to-day on the Nevsky prospect. The demonstration at the winter palace this afternoon was most remarkable. Patriotism attained fever heat this evening, when several thousand persons, almost exclusively worklngmen. marched behind six big flags from the Anltchkoff palace, where the Empress dowager lives, to the Kuzan Cathedral, hurrahing and throwing up their hats and caps all the way. The streets of the city are blocked by spectators, who, with bared heads, and many with tears in their eyes, listened to the singing. Count Von Ontsoffdashkoff, one of the closest friends of Emperor Alexander III, will be head of the Red Cross work under the Empress dowager. The Red Cross has received an appropriation of 12,500,000 from the city of St. Petersburg and the merehants of the city have promised to give $750,000 more. The city of Moscow and the merchants there have contributed fc)0.0uu, and It is expected that the amount available for Red Cross work will reach $5,0uu,000 within a week. All the officers in the ministries have promised to contribute from 3 to 10 per cent, of their salaries. Four thousand hospital beds are ready for shipment and 4,000 more will go forward within a fortnight. The report that Russia is negotiating for permission to bring her Black set fleet through the Dardanelles cannot be confirmed here. In diplomtaic circles, while it Is not believed that the Porte would offer objection to this, the impression is that such an attempt would precipitate grave complications with the powers signatory to the Dardanelles convention. JAPAN READY TO MEET RUSSIANS IN KOREA NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The Japanese troops landed at Genan are Intended to operate with troops that have now been successfully landed at Ping-Yang, on the opposite side of the Korean peninsula, says a World dispatch from Kobe, Japan. These two forces constitute Japan's second line of defense against the Russians, who are marching over the Yalu into Korea. A first line of defense has been arranged. It is comp sed of picked troops who are lined up along the south bank of the Yalu. It is, however, considered most unlikely that this army will reach its destination in time to intercept the invading Russians. The second line may fail to hold the inva rs, in which case it is expected that a land battle would take place not far from Seoul. In any case the Japanese preparations are made with a view of closing In on any body of Russian troops that succeeds In forcing Its way into the Interior of Korea. Mobilization of the army has been effected without hitch. The transportation of soldiers and supplies b:' means of the railway from the interior to the coast proceeded with great prcjlslor. RUSSIA HAS NOT A LARGE BALTIC FLEET BERLIN. Feb. 12. It is officially stated here that nothing Is known of the alleged P.I.--SU''. r iini" ii-llrm passage, of the Russlan Baltic fleet through the Kaiser Wilhelm (Baltic North Sea) canal. At the Navy Department it was said that Russia has not flfteen ships in the Baltic that could readily be sent te the far East, seven or eight being all she has there, according to th-- intelligence here, that could be made serviceable against Japan, and as many more coaling ships might have to go with them the ;erman naval opinion is that so small a fleet could do nothing alone. Russia is withdrawing portions of her garrisons on the German frontier, presumably because she is fully confident of Germany's neutrality. M. Kurlno. the former Japanese minister to Russia, and his staff arrived here from St. Petersburg. M. Kurlno has orders to observe events from Berlin indefinitely. Off at l-.-ast until he received further instructions from his goernment. NAVAL ATTACHE IS INFORMED OF BATTLE WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. -The naval attache of the Japanese legation. Commander Tukeshlta. has received a cablegram from the Navy Department at Tokio stating that the adnfsäl of the combined squadrons reports that at midnight on the 8th Inst, the Japanese torpedo destroyer flotilla attacked the enemy at Port Arthur when the main portion of the squadron was lying outside of the port. He reports that at least two battleships and one cruiser were torpedoed by the Japanese boats. The enemy retired within the port. The Japanese combined qttadroa arrived outside of Port Arthur on the morning of the 9th and engaged the enemy's fleet, which was still outside, and

It Is believed inflicted considerable damage. The Japanese fleet suffered very slight damage, the total casualties being four killed and fifty-four wounded. Not one of the ships wai damaged to an extent that would Injure its righting power. The officers and crews of th Japanese fle-et are reported to have engaged in the action with the same calmness which would have characterized their conduct during ordinary naval maneuvers.

JAPANESE COMMANDER TRAINED AT ANNAPOLIS WASHINGTON. Feb. 12-Naval officers on duty at the Navy Department are much elated because a graduate of the United States Academy at Annapolis was in command of the Japan im naval forces which won the victory over Russia at Chemulpo. Advices received at the Navv department state that Rear Admiral Sotokichi I'riu, of the Japanese navy, who was graduate 1 from the i'nited States Naval Academy In 181, No 14. in his class, commanded all the Japanese Beef engaged at e'hemulpo. AdBSlraJ I'riu entered the Naval Academy In lHu with two other young Japanese boys and was always a goeul student and popular young man. He was deeply religious. It is stated by his classmates kt the Navy Department, and was a believer in Christianity. He married a young Japan, ae girl, who was graduated from Vassar College. CHINA WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL THROUGH WAR WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. Minister Conger caol.d the State Department to-day from Peking that the Chinese government would Immediately issue a proclamation of n. lUrality, having yesterday received from the Russian minister the declaration of war. If this proclamation is observed it will, of course, prevent the threatened invasion of Manchuria by Boxers. China also must prevent the use of her soil by either Russian or Japanese troops. All the answers to Secretary Hay's proposition are not yet in, but it is hoped that they will be received within the next twenty-four hours. A cablegram received at the Navy Department announces the departure of the gunboat Wilmington from Hong-Kong to Che-Foo. just opposite Port Arthur. She will remain tit this neutral port for settles at any moment as a dispatch boat to communicate with the American ministers and consuls in case of need. MAY ATTACK JAPAN'S COALING STATIONS WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The best naval opinion here credits the report that the Russian Vladicostock squadron of four armored cruisers had left Vladlvostock, and it i i bvli. ved that it will attack the two coaling stations on the northern coast of Japan. In anticipation of this move, it is Understood, the Japanese have several warships guarding these points. In Russian circles it is believed that the ! municipal government of Vladlvostock will ; be transferred to a near-by town, together with the citizens, and the entire place turned over to the army for use as a fortress. From dispatches received here it is thought the Japanese will confine their naval operations for the present to the destruction of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur. WEI-HAI-WEI NOT GIVEN TO JAPAN FOR BASE LONDON, Feb. 12. Referring in the House of Lords to-day to the Russian charges on the subject of Wei-Hai-Wei. Foreign Minister Lansdowne declared the report that Great Britain had given Wei-Hai-Wcl as a base for the Japanese operations against Port Arthur was entirely unfoun.ied and as far as he could conjecture It was "a mischievous fabrication." Lord Lansdowne added that he had telegraphed to the British representative in order to ascertain if any incidents had occurred to give the slightest color to the report. JAPANESE FLEET NOT SEEN SINCE TUESDAY CHE-FOO. Feb. 12, u a. m The Jnpanew fleet has not been sen since noon Tnrsday. The injured battleships Ozarevich and Rotvizan have been floated, but the cruiser Pallada is still on the beach. It has been ascertained that the Japanese hell did not injure the forts at I'ort Arthur in Tuesday's engagement. Shells directed towards the disahled battleships went over them and entered the town. Shells directed at the forta struck houses on the hill. DEBARKING OF TROOPS IN KOREA PROCEEDING LONDON, Feb. 12. The Japanese minister here, Baron Hayashl, has received a dispatch from the government at Tokio announcing that the latter has not yet received an official report of the battle fought off Port Arthur, and adding that apparently the disembarkation of Japanese troops is proceeding satisfactorily and without disorder at Chemulpo, the port of Seoul, Korea, und elsewhere.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) ators Foraker and Hanna to b" delegates at large from Ohio to the coming national Republican convention. The banquet, scheduled for to-night, at which some of the most eminent Republii ;ns of the State were to have spoken, was canceled, because of Senator Hanna's condition. The feature of the opening session of the convention this morning was Mayor Tom L. Johnson's allusion to Senator Hanna in the course of his address of welcome to the clubs. He said: "I want to add my prayer for the recovery of Senator Hanna. Whether we be his opponents in p lities or in business, we cannot avoid admiring him as a mar., and we will all join in the hope that he will be returned to us in health and strength." FAIRBANKS AND MOODY SPEAK AT NEW YORK NEW YORK.

President Roosevelt also sent a letter of regret, as did Robert T. Lincoln, son ot the martyred President. In the course of his speech Secretary Moody, the last on the programme, touched on the Oriental war as follows: "Unhappily there Is war upon the sea. We are on friendly terms with both of the nations who are now at war. We are attached by a bond of peculiar sympathy; the one nation endeared itself to the hearts of the American people by an expression of their good will In the days of our sore trial. Toward the other we occupy almost the position of a foster mother, because it iraj our navy that broke through the door of that Eastern exclusiveness and let in the good of sunlight of modern civilization. "We have declared our neutrality, which we shall maintain. We have no interest except that the war may end speedily. We have no concern except that it may not bring Into the struggle any other nation than those nations now in conflict. I can assure you that under no circumstances which I can conceive is there danger to the peace Of our own Nation, Wre are sure this administration and its chief know well our dear land loves the pleasant pathways of peace. "There never was a better time to consider the subject given me. There never wa - a day when It appeared more clearly that i country should have Its navy readyinstantly for war, and there never was a country which has had more lessons on the importance of power on the sea than our own. We won our independence on the sea." TWO CELEBRATIONS HELD AT CHICAGO CHICAGO, Feb. 12. -Lincoln's birthday was observed in Chicago to-idght by the Marquette Club with a banquet and publi. meeting at the Auditorium.
