GOT TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT.
Russia's Port Arthur Squadron Is De-
n1oraIizeds

Chefoo.-It is said that the Russian
battleship Czarevitch suffered terrible
punishment in the fight off Shantung
promontory on August 10, lasting from
noon until evening. The Czarevitch
bore the brunt of the fighting until q
o'clock. when Admiral Withoeft was
hit by she'll which blew his body to
pieces, only one of his legs being found
after the explosion. Four officers
standing near him were also killed
Altogether the Czarevitch lost Is men
killed and As wounded.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Au-
gust IL Russian torpedo boat destroy
er, badly damaged, steamed slowly into
Tsingchou and half an hour later the
protected cruiser Novik, slightly in
jured, entered port. No dead were on
board either vessel. They took coal
and departed at 3 o'clock on the morn
ing of August IL.
The battleship Czarevitch arrived at
Tsingchou on the night of August IL,
lsteaming at the rate of four knots an
hour and burning immense quantities
of coal to make even that rate of speed

HEIR TO RUSSIAN THRONE.
Son Was Born and Gar Is Happy-AII
Doing Well.

A son and heir to the Russian throne
has been born.
The empress and the baby czaro-
vitvh at last reports were in the best
of condition. The heir to the throne
at his birth weighed 10.7 pounds, Eng
fish weight, and has dark hair like
that of his paternal grandmother. The
christening probably will occur Au-
gust 20, but it may possibly be further
delayed in order to give greater time
for preparation.
The emperor's brother, Grand Duke
Michael, joyfully surrendered his
rights and prestige as heir apparent to
the throne to his infant nephew.
In receiving the congratulations of
his court the emperor in a brief reply
said: 81 am happier at the birth of a
son and heir than at a victory OF my
troops, for now face the future calm
ly and without alarm, knowing by this
sign that the war will be brought to a
happy conclusion"

Battle Took Place in Strait of Korea
Battle Lasted Five Hours-Russian
Cruiser Sunk-Whereabo of Crew

Positions Unchanged.

Toxic, August 15.-Vice Admiral
Kamimura encountered the Russian
Vladivostok squadron at dawn today
north of Tsu island, in the strait of
Korea, and attacked the enemy at
once. The battle lasted for five hours,
and resulted in a complete Japanese
victory The Russian cruiser Rurik
was sunk and the cruisers Rossia and
Gromoboi fed to the northward, after
having sustained serious damage. Vice
Admiral Ramimura cables the navy de-
partment that the injuries inflicted
upon his vessels were slight.
The fate of the crew of the Rurid
is not known.
Toxic is joyous over this news, as
it gives Japan mastery of the sea and
restores commerce.
Tienshiuten, Aug 16.-The relative
positions of the Japanese and Russian
armies are unchanged. During the last
few days the Russian positions along
the Mukden road have been steadily
strengthened and it appears as though
General Kuropatkin has planned to
make his final stand at the Liaoyang
position.
Owing to a cessation of the rain the
rivers have fallen perceptibly and

acter to places where they will be

Moscow, Russia-The Russ calls at

STA OF all the children born annually
in so provinces of eastern Russia, one
fourth die before they reach the age

in central provinces where rs per cent

In the provinces of Tambov, Foron-

tality is so great that in spite of the
large number of births in proportion

To officers of high military com
mand it is likewise pointed out that
an increasing number of recruits are
annually rejected for physical defects
which are directly traceable to semi.

GREATEST MODERN BATTLE.
Gloom in Russia Over Crushing Blow
to Warships

Gloom in Russia over Crushing Blow
to Warships.
Not since the beginning of the war
between Japan and Russia has any
thing so seriously affected Russian
spirits as the gradual revelation of the
extent of the Port Arthur squadrons
reverse.
Captain Matousevitch makes it clear
that the Port Arthur fight probably
was the greatest battle of ironclads
since steel replaced wood in naval con
Istruction. The effort of the Russians
to fight their way through the Japan
csc probably would have been success
full had it not been for the disaster to
the battleship Czarevitvh, which COM
PEELED the squadron to fight a second
battle, ending in the dispersal of the
Russian fleet in the darkness.
1t is learned that the awful mortality
among the officers of the Czarovitch
which was merely stated in the official
report, is due to the fact that Admiral
gathered on the bridge during the en-
gagement in order to set an example
| for and encourage the men, instead of
remaining in comparative safety in the
coming tower. A Japanese shell burst
beneath the bridge, wrecking that part
of the ship and killing or wounding
every officer on duty Whereabouts.
One of the most important features
of Captain Matousevitch's dispatch
aside from its grimly brief account OF
the battle, is the detailed statement OF
the makeup of Rear Admiral Togo's
fleet, which consisted of six battle
ships, II cruisers of various classes
and approximately 80 torpedo boats.

MADE A GALLANT FIGHT.
Czarevitch Was Surrounded by Jap
anese Vessels.

Cheefoo.-Details of the naval battle
of August 10 reaching here show that
the Russian battle ship Czarevitch
made a remarkable struggle. When
the battle opened six battle ships on
each side opposed each other in al
most parallel lines in the vicinity of
Round island. The cruisers and tor
pedo boat destroyers on both sides
were ordered out of range. When the
fight had been under way for some
time the cruisers and smaller craft be-
came engaged. Finally the Care
witch was surrounded by four battle
ships and two cruisers. She endured
hours of terrible fighting pluckily.
The shell which killed Admiral Wit
hoeft rebounded from a turret.
A message from the Associated
Press correspondent at Tsingchou
states that the Russian vessels now in
that port have not been dismantled
as their injuries allow them to remain
until repairs are made. Captain Ma
touseviteh of the Czarevitch, who was
reported dead, is still alive.

RUSS|A'S SQUADRON FLEW
REFUSED TO GIVE ADMIRAL TOGO
A BATTLE.
Port Arthur Squadron Stronger in
Some Respects-Jap's Guns Domi-
nate Dock Yards at Port Arthur
Four Russian BattIeships Which Re-
turned There Cannot Be Repaired.

TOXIC, aug. lo.-tagS are hy1 g,
lanterns are glimmering and cries of
''banzai" are ringing in the streets Of
Toxic in honor of the victory gained at
sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral
Kamimura. Underneath the Notification
of the populace lies feeling of deep
satisfaction and qualification at the dis
posal of desperately serious problem
of the war The Russian squadron
which confronted Admiral Togo re-
fused battle. 1t was stronger than Adj
miral Togos squadron in battleships
and armored cruisers, and had it elect
ed to fight the result might have alter
ed the fortunes of war. The strength
| of the squadron which opposed Ad-
miral Togo compelled him to draw YES
sells from the squadron under Vice Ad-
miral Kamimura.
The raid conducted by the Vladivo-
stok squadron in July was extremely
expensive to Japan, and not only was
retaliation tempting, but it was de-
manded by commercial interests The
navy, however, grimly refused to make
a diversion and stuck to Port Arthur 1t
was confident that the harbor soon
would be untenable for the Russian
warships; that it would eventually get
fair fight in the open sea away from
the Russian land batteries and that
the Japanese would win The calcutta
tons of the navy were correct, and the
Russians, with the chances even, have
been hopelessly defeated.
Control Port Arthur.
Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur, and, in view of
this fact, it would seem to be impos-
sible to again make seaworthy or fight
able the four Russian battleships which
have returned to Port Arthur The
best possible naval force that Russia
can now concentrate at Vladivostok is
four cruisers.

received here from a reliable source
states that a general attack on Port
Arthur began at 4 o'clock this morn
ing
st. Petersburg-There is a general
belief, which is borne out by the latest
dispatches, that the situation at Port
Arthur is desperate one. Apparently
the Japanese are concentrating all
their energies toward the reduction of
the fortress in order to release heavy
achievements for the operations
gainst General Kuropatkin, and it is
thought that until this has been accom-
plished the advance on Liayang will be
suspended
The st. Petersburg Boerse Gazette
has received the following dispatch
from it's Liayang correspondent:
Twelve Japanese regiments have
left in the direction of Port Arthur.
ut is stated on trustworthy author
ity that the mikado has ordered that
Port Arthur must be taken at any cost,
even if it necessitates the suspension
of operations in Manchuria, and it is
quite probable the main Japanese force
will proceed to Port Arthur within a
few days"
