able debater, and was soon recognized as
leader of the opposition.

peasants, the elevation Of the citizen class
and the freedom of the press, the mere
mention of Shich suggests how backward
was the political condition OF the people
whose cause he eloquently promoted. The
french revolution of 1S4S was stimulus
to kossuth, as to all other struggling pa
triots the world over. In his case II led
him 70 demand an independent government

In the Austrian hereditary territories The
Hungarian revolution and the insurrection

Admiral skerrett md Minister Kurino o
Fresh From the Seat OF War.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-Among the
passengers on the steamer China, which
arrived from Yokohama today, were
Admiral Skerrett and s. Kurino, the
new Japanese minister to the United
States. Neither of them had much to
say about the war between China and
Japan.
Admiral Skerrett said that go far
Japan had gained decided advantage,
but he would not hazard an opinion as
to the outcome of the conflict. Japan
had shown good strategy in the way in
which she occupied Seoul and its ses-
port, Chemulpo. The only way China
can get troops into Corea ia to march
them down the peninsula to Man
churia. The admiral did not witness
the sinking of the transport Kow Shing,
but heard the firing 70 miles away.
Mr.. Kurino would say nothing off,
cially. He esid that when he left Toxic
the war had scarcely begun, and Toxic
WAS 30 far away from the seat OF war
that he could give no authentic in
formation. When he left, the Japanese
were planning to protect the port Of
Yokohama with torpedoes, but he
thought it would not be carried out.

20 was the Too Man. The Naoi showed
no colors at all, and for some reason or
other the Too Man hauled hers down as
the Naniwa came along.
"The Japanese gunboat dropped her
anchors when she reached signaling dis
tance, and we did the same. Two boats
were lowered from the Naniwa, and her
officers spent several houra on the kow
Shing, sending boats bacK and forth in
the meantime. We were anxiously
awaiting developments, but did not ex-
pect to see powder burned. as much on
account Of the defenselese coalition Of
the Kow Shing as owing TO her Lying
the English colors. Or course we knew,
as we'll as the Naniwe, that she had
Chinese troops on board. Finally the
boats returned to the Nsniws and the
Kow Shing went to the Ice OF the island
and anchored there, by order OF the
Japaneee, as we afterwards learned.
1.-THE next we knew,stwo hours later.
the trading steamer was under slow
steam, and the Nsriwa standing out for
the open, cleared for action. There was
not then half or quarter OF mile be-
tween the two, but nevertheless the big
cruiser tried some OF ner heaviest metal
on the captive. Then she got her tor
pedoes working and in a few minutes
the floating wreckage was all that was
loft of the well known steamer. We
steamed in and lowered our boats, snc-
ceeding in picking up 2S men who were
swimming, two Germans, one English
man and 20 Chinese. The Japanese
were shooting the swimmers in the
water with rifles and gatlings when we
came up, but suspended firing and low
cred boats, too. though we did not see
them pick any one up. They said the
transport was trying to escape and had
been given warning that if che did go
che would be sunk. The Englishmsn
we picked up told us she was merely
shifting anchorage 30 as to be safe from
wreck at the turn of the tide. and had
signaled the Naniwa that she was going
to do go. However that may be, the
Japanese did not distinguish themselves
by bravery, as they could very easily
have headed off the transport if she was
30 foolish as to try to get away.
"The oldest part of the affair is that
in the excitement the Nsoi disappeared.
Whether she, too, went under, or wheth-
or she escaped, we do not yet know.
The Too Man stood by to rescue the
Chinese from the Kow Shing. although
che was herself badly crippled. This
drew ON her the fire of the Neniwa, and
another torpedo quickly settled her.
The skipper of the Too Man, think,
was an Englishman or an American. 80
/ was told. Whatever country he be-
longed to could be proud OF him. He
faced the music with not one chance in
Q hundred, stood by the other Chinese
as long as he foated. and died game. 1t
is said that over 1000 lives were lost in
the 'engagement.' Whatever the lose
really was, it was nothing but Wholesale
murder, and if Japan does not suffer in
the long run, it won't be because che
does not deserve it."

A number of Corean soldiers, by special
