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-
Jiirs 1,ANn11~iG Taoors
The Japanese cruisers which
were escorting ten transports

Korea. ~

Russian advices say that P°ff
Arthur is to be defended to the
last ditch.

rumors ran through the city today ln ‘|10
business circles, that Port Arthur is to be

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.
