STEAMER CONFISCATED

TOKIO, March 4- (Speciai_)-

The Japanese Prize Court an- nounces the confiscation of seven Russian steamers which were cap- tured since war began.

HATRED IS FELT.

Thegbitterest hatred is felt by

both the Chinese and Japanese because of the indignation heaped upon those living in Port Arthur at the time the war began-

The Japanese cruisers which

were escorting ten transports were seen near Sadole Bay. Other advices say that the japanese are landing troops at Chiuampho, Korea. ~

TO DEFEND PORT ARTHUR

It is believed three separate Iap-

anese armies landed in Korea and -that one will push into Manchurla. Russian advices say that P°ff Arthur is to be defended to the

Port Arthur, Viadivcstock and the

region traversed by the Chinese rnilroad and the Bulgovensk and Trans-Baikal and Amur territories have been declared in a

state of siege.

Captain Relizensten, commander of the

Lormou. March 2-A rumor was cir-

culated in the lobby of the House of Cum- ‘mons this p. m., that Port Arthur had fallen. The origin of the rumor could not he traced and no confirmation whatever was obtainable.

LONDON, March 3.-Hardly n word of

news from thc seat of war, with the ex-

lceptlon of the Russian ofilolal dcspntchea, is published here this morning, and it now seems clear that the story published in The Herald two days ago, of a bombard- ment cf Port Arthur, by the Japanese, on 'February 23, is nothing more than a re- echo of previous attacks. ' In a despatch to the Czar, Viceroy Alexleii’ says:-“Admiral Stark. telegraph- 'ing from Port Arthur Wednesday, March 2, says the enemy did not appear off Port Arthur on either February 28, February 20, or March 1. Reconnaissances made by cruisers and torpedo boats over a radius

of sixty miles from Port Arthur also fail- ed to discover the enemy`s vdssels.

The volunteer fleet steamer Kazin has been trac sierred to the Red Cross sccietv. ‘The volunteer steamer Eknterincslav, which was captured by the Japanese, is

lying in the harbor of Saseho, Japan. Despatches received here say that her efllcrrs and crew are well, and deny that

the Japanese are using her far transport

purposes. The volunteer flee: steamer Voronej has reached Colombo on her way back to Oiei-aa, where thc`Nijinl Novgo- rod of the same fleet, arrived today.
