FIFTY WARSHIPS HOVER OFF COAST NEAR KIN CHAU BAY.' Admiral Nitger Has Temporary Command of Russian Fleet-- Japanese Prime Minister Al- lays Fears of Christian Mis- sionaries. ' London, May 6.--Great importance is attached here to the news from Port Arthur, as received in St. Peters- burg. The information is. interpreted as showing that the long-expected landing of the Japanese, for the pur- pose of cutting ofi the garrison and fleet at Port Arthur, is at length be- ginning. Pitsewo, or Pitzuwo, is a village on the cast coast of the Liao Tung peninsula, north of Pelliott Is- land. It is some eighty wiles north- east of Port Arthur, and about a hundred miles sotith of New Chwang. Kin Chau Bay, where Japanese transports also have been sighted, is on the west coast of the liao Tung peninsula, and not far from I"tsewo.

Nothing has been received frum any source concerning the reported re- bombardment of Port Arthur or a battle at Chung hayin. A Tokio de- spatch to the Times, says it is regard- ed as certain that the reported loss of the transport Haginouramaru, refer- red to the loss of the Nakamura Maru, which was sunk by the Rus- sians on April 26th. According to the Daily Telegraph's Shan-hai-kwan correspondent, M. Pavoff, Russian minister to Korea, has gone to Pekin for the purpose of 'endeavoring to induce China to cede to the Russian administration the Chinese railwavs from Koupang-tze to Sin-min-tung and Yinkow for military purposes, Admiral Alexieff Leaves. St. Petersburg, May 6.--A despatch from Port Arthur, dated yesterday, says that the Japanese fleet has taken up a position behind the Liao Tishin promonotory. Transports, carrying Japancse troops, have arrived at Pitsewo, it being the intention to Nand there. Admiral Alexiefi, in com- pliance with an imperial order, left Port Arthur, yesterday morning, to rejoin the active army. The command of the Russign fleet has Dhoen Hesiew- ed, temporarily, on Admiral Vitger,, with the title of flag-captain to A miral Yezen. Grand Duke Boris Kes also left Port Arthur. New Chwang reports that fifty Ja- pancse warships and transports are hovering off the coast, near Kin Chau Bay. < Will Protect Christians. Tokio, May 6.--Admiral Togo has, as yet, made no report concorning his latest operations at Port Arthur. The Jiji Simpos says it learns that the fleet has not returned to its rendez vous since, being still engaged in carrying out a pre-arranged pro gramine. Prime Minister Katsura has taken steps to allay the fears of some of the foreign missionaries that the war will create strife between the Clris- tians and non-Christians in Japan. He saw numbers of prominent native Christian leaders, and as<cured them that the government would efficiently protect all its ereeds. Wounded And Dead Russians.

To Terrorize Japs. Port Arthur, May 6.~The Japanese displayed desperate courage in their fire-ship attack on the night of Tues- day. The ships as they approached were divided into three groups, all heading straight for the entrance of the harbor. While still 'far from the shore they ran on the Russian mines and they were under a murderous fire from the Russian batteries. Three boats followed the fire-ships to pick up the crews of the latter. When the first ship foundered the crew clambered up the mast cheer- ing for the emperor of Japan, as they went down. From the mast head, of the second vessel as she began to sink her crew waved lanterns to indicate their course to those astern. Their small boats, though soon riddled, did not raise the white flags, A Japanese sailor, who came ashore at Electric Hill, when summoned to surrender sprang forward with a re volver. in his hand and died fightine Another Japanese sailor who was pulled out of the water tried to throt- tle himself with his necktie.

New York, May 6.--One of the dis- turbing factors on the stock market yesterday was a report by way of Boston concerning the actual value of the estate of William CG Whitney and the prospect that when it is wound up it may prove that instead of leaving a fortune of about $25, 000,000, Mr. Whitney died actually in debt. The story started with the re port that the Whitney mansion in Fifth avenue, aid to be the finest re- sidence in the country, and worth ap- proximately £3,000,000, had been sold for $2,000,000 and that the proceeds would be welcome to the estate.
