At sunrise no sign of life could be seen anywhere, and Port Arthur looked like a city of death. Tokyo advices say official and private reports both indicate that Admiral Togo's last attack on Port Arthur was the most effective since the first assault of a month ago. One Russian torpedo boat destroyer was sunk and several Russian torpedo boat destroyers seriously damaged. The fortifications and city were subjected to a henvy» bombardment lasting nearly four hours. Admiral Togo tvas unable to definitely learn the results of the bombardment, but later private reports indicate that much destruction was caused In the city, where a series of fires broke out.

Gustav Marx, one of the bandits now under sentence of death, says in a startling confession that he was one of three men who held up the Chicago and Northwestern express train at Tower W, near Dekalb, four years ago. The crime, which has passed into history as one of the most desperate ever committed in or about Chicago, has never been fastened upon any one of the many suspects arrested, and the identity of the bandits has remained a mystery to the police until now. Marx says both his confederates in the crime are dead and refuses to give their names. One of them, he declares, "died with his boots on." The railway authorities admitted a loss of $102,000 by ,the robbery. Marx says the robbers secured only $8,000, the rest of the money having been destroyed by the explosion of dynamite used to crack the safe. SUDDEN DEATH •— WILKESBARRE.

The evacuation took place on Friday after an engagement with the Japanese fleet. Similar reports reach here from Tokyo, Tientsin and Shanghai, but up to the present they have not been confirmed. The British steamer Foxton Hall, chartered by Russia to vonvey Welsh coal to Port Arthur and which had been detained at Port Arthur for several weeks, has arrived here with a Norwegian captain and a Alnese crew.

In a sort of footnote to this startling confession Marx admits the killing of five men in his career of crime. Details of Fwrttt Port Arthur Attack "Besides John B. Johnson, killed at the car bams; Detective Quinn, killed at the time of my arrest, and Otto Bauder, whom Roeskl is generally supposed to have killed, I have killed two other men," said Marx. "Eight years ago Nledermeler and I went to Janesvllle, Wis., to rob a train and hid our dynamite alongside the track. A trackwalker or railway detective—I have never learned which— came upon us and asked us what we were doing there. I shot him, and we threw his body into the Rock river. The other man whom I killed I had done criminal work with in Michigan. I met him at Camp 'Goldfleld, Colo., when Nledermeler and I were there last fall. He knew too much about me, and I killed him and left his body lying in the suburbs of the camp. Both these crimes can be verified by the police."Tokyo, March 14.—Vice Admiral Togo's report of the fourth attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese fleet on March 10 has reached Tokyo.

"Our squadron, as prearranged, attacked the enemy at Port Arthur on March 10. Our two torpedo flotillas reached the mouth of the harbor at Port Arthur at 1 o'clock on the morning of the 10th. Finding no enemy, waited until dawn; one flotilla engaged in sinking special mines in the harbor entrance. Notwithstanding the enemy's fire our flotilla succeeded in sinking the mines. The other flotilla met the enemy's torpedo flotilla, consisting of six boats, in the Laothieshan channel, south of Port Arthur, at 4:30 o'clock. A hot engagement occurred at close range for thirty minutes. The enemy then took flight. Our fire greatly damaged the Russian ships, one of which was badly crippled by a shot through the boilers, and another was observed to be on flre. So close were the two flotillas to each other that our destroyers, the Asashio, Kasumi and Akntsukl, nearly touched the enemy's ships, and our could even hear the cries of agony of the Injured men on them. 42 N.

Traffic Suspended. London, March 14.—The rumor of the evacuation of Port Arthur is repeated this morning from different points, but It is absolutely without confirmation. According to the St Petersburg correspondent of the Dally Telegraph, vague rumors are current there that later telegrams describe the bombardment of Port Arthur as much more serious than has been admitted officially.Chicago, March 14.—The worst blizzard of the season is raging, with high winds. Traffic Is almost stalled and the harbor is again closed. "We sustained some damage and loss. The Akatsuki had a steam pipe broken, and fonr stokers were kirled thereby. Our loss was seven killed and eight wounded. Among the latter is Ohief Engineer Minamisawa of the Kasumi. Our other flotilla while leaving the harbor entrance observed two Russian torpedo boats coming from seaward and Immediately engaged them, the battle lasting an hour. After causing them severe damage one of them effected Its escape, but our destroyer, the Sasanaml, captured the other boat, which proved to be the Stereguschtchl. Notwithstanding the land batteries pouring a heavy flre on our flotilla, the captured vessel was taken in tow. Owing to the high sea the tow line soon parted, and the Sasanl found It necessary to take Hie crew from the Russian boat and abandoned the Stereguschtchl, which Anally sank at 8 o'clock." H.

The crime, which has passed into history as one of the most desperate ever committed in or about Chicago, has never been fastened upon any one of the many suspects arrested, and the identity of the bandits has remained a mystery to the police until now. Marx says both his confederates in the crime are dead and refuses to give their names. One of them, he declares, "died with his boots on." The railway authorities admitted a loss of $102,000 by ,the robbery.

In a sort of footnote to this startling confession Marx admits the killing of five men in his career of crime. Details of Fwrttt Port Arthur Attack "Besides John B. Johnson, killed at the car bams; Detective Quinn, killed at the time of my arrest, and Otto Bauder, whom Roeskl is generally supposed to have killed, I have killed two other men," said Marx. "Eight years ago Nledermeler and I went to Janesvllle, Wis., to rob a train and hid our dynamite alongside the track. A trackwalker or railway detective—I have never learned which— came upon us and asked us what we were doing there. I shot him, and we threw his body into the Rock river. The other man whom I killed I had done criminal work with in Michigan. I met him at Camp 'Goldfleld, Colo., when Nledermeler and I were there last fall. He knew too much about me, and I killed him and left his body lying in the suburbs of the camp. Both these crimes can be verified by the police."Tokyo, March 14.—Vice Admiral Togo's report of the fourth attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese fleet on March 10 has reached Tokyo.

"Our squadron, as prearranged, attacked the enemy at Port Arthur on March 10. Our two torpedo flotillas reached the mouth of the harbor at Port Arthur at 1 o'clock on the morning of the 10th. Finding no enemy, waited until dawn; one flotilla engaged in sinking special mines in the harbor entrance. Notwithstanding the enemy's fire our flotilla succeeded in sinking the mines. The other flotilla met the enemy's torpedo flotilla, consisting of six boats, in the Laothieshan channel, south of Port Arthur, at 4:30 o'clock. A hot engagement occurred at close range for thirty minutes. The enemy then took flight. Our fire greatly damaged the Russian ships, one of which was badly crippled by a shot through the boilers, and another was observed to be on flre. So close were the two flotillas to each other that our destroyers, the Asashio, Kasumi and Akntsukl, nearly touched the enemy's ships, and our could even hear the cries of agony of the Injured men on them. 42 N.

After causing them severe damage one of them effected Its escape, but our destroyer, the Sasanaml, captured the other boat, which proved to be the Stereguschtchl. Notwithstanding the land batteries pouring a heavy flre on our flotilla, the captured vessel was taken in tow.
