this course. When the destroyer VI

laid the counter-mines during the
night of April 12-l3, they placed 'heiii
along this course. The laying OF THESE
counter-mines was exceedingly peru
Gus, because if any japanese boat with
mines on board had been struck by
lucky Russian shot she would nave
been annihlaled.
The weather Of the night Of April
1913 favored the work. Ihere WIS y
heavy rain. the night was dark ana
cloudy. ami The Russian Searchilghts
playing over the channel failed 10 re-
veal the presence of the japanese de-
st rogers.
Rear Admiral Dewa was in COM
mand of the Japanese squadron WHICH
d"coyed the Russian ships over the
field of mines. His squadron consisted
of the cruisers ChitoZ. Yoshino, kasaSi
and Takasago. all unarmofed vessels
which presented 4 tempting bait Tor
the heavier Russian ships.
Vice Admiral Togo directed the Hank
attack. He had the butti"ships Hat
susr. Makasa. Asahi. Shikishima, Ya-
shina and Full. He waited 30 miles
out 1T sea until Rear Admiral D"wa
signalled him by wireless trleSraphy
to come in. His vessels then dashed ut
full speed toward the entrance of the
harbor. All the battlrShipS under Vice
Admiral Togo are capable of Il speed
of Is knots and they quickly covered
the distance. 1t is not clear what
warned the Russians that they had
been trapped. but they probably dis
cerncd the battlcship squadron on the
horizon and retreatcd precipitately to
the harhor Vice Admiral Togo did
not succeed in preventing the Russians
from entering, but did force them to a
disastrous retreat which ended in the
destruction of the rrtropavlovsk and
the disabling of the Pobeida. After
these occurrences the cruisers Nishen
and kaS;iuSa Were used to lombard
Port Arthur. They possess the high
est angled guns in the fleet. capable of
throwing shells to the elevated Russian
land works which are beyond attain
ment by the average naval weapon.
Vice Admiral Togo calls this attack
on Port Arthur the eigth whereas here
it is numbered the seventh. A proba Bile
explanation is that Vice Admiral Togo
regards the least operation as two
distinct attacks.
Expressions of regret at the death Of
Vice Admiral MakarOff are general
here.
The Koryu Maru which participated
in the latest attack on Port Arthur, is

mand Of Commander Oda. Oda is a

Japanese countcr-mining operations
WAS due largely to his ingenuity and
bravery.

WRONG MEDICINE.
Family Of Miss Cassidy Believes Drug
gist Made Mistake.

Boston, April 17.-Miss Annie Cassidy
died Fiday evening at her nome, 10
Rutherford avenue, Charlestown, under
circumstances which suggested poison
ing.
Miss Cassidy had been suffering for
some time from appendicitis, and the
family doctor had made up his mind
that she must go under an operation.
Wednesday night she took some medl-
cire, which was supposed to be laxoi,
q light laxative but which proved to be
lyso1, q poisonous disinfectant.
Or. w. J. Mcdonald. who attended
the young woman, AYERS that he plainly
ordered laxol, and it is a mystery how
the other was substituted.
According to the report of Medical
Examiner Stedman, Miss Cassidy died
OF pneumonia. DIR. Stedman made an
autopsy yesterday. and later made Il
verbal report to the district attorney.
The home Of Miss Cassidy was visited
yesterday noon, and the conversation Of
the family showed very plainly that its
members believe death due to poison
provided by mistake by n druggist. A
member of the family minated that
counsel would be employed to represent
the family at the inquest, If one IS held.
1t IL understood that DIR. w. j. Mo
Donald has in his possession the Origl-
nal prescription, which he secured from
Druggist Haines. Neither doctor could
be found at their Office up to ] O'Clock,
yesterday afternoon.
The police Of station II, CharleStOWn.
had not received orders to take any
official action from either the medical
examiner, district attorney or police
headquarters.
Assistant Medical Examiner Stedman
said yesterday noon:
1.-THE pOst-mOrteIn examination shows
that the direct cause of death was
pneumonia. which was Well developed
in her case. and that the effect of the
medicine which she had taken was of
an entirely subsidiary kind.
"In addition to the pneumonia. she
also suffered fom appendicitis. but, as
I have already said the direct cause Of
her death was pneumonia. | went to
the district attorneys office to make
my report, but Mr.. Stevens was not in,
and will not be until Monday: so l shall
present my report at that time.
81 have not yet reported the result Of
the post norton to the police. because
I have only just returned from the ex-
animation. | do not know whether the
district attorney will order an inquest
In the case after I present my report,
but when that is done my duty Will
have ended"

SADDENS BRITISH.
Russian Admiral MakaroH Was Appre-
ciated in England.

New York. April 1.-THE Post. in a
copyright dispatch from London. says:
There is no stint of British tributes
to Admiral Makarom. Admiral Iron
himself. who went down in II. NJ. s
Victoria, did not receive more generous
British appreciation. but this genuine
sympathy with Russia does not blind
Englishmcn. whose opinions count. to
the gravity Of IuSsia's position. The
Japanese can now act by land and sea.
Russia can act by land alone.
If this fact should lead Russia to con-
slider whether an honorable withdrawal
from the war is rot yet possible, the
whole weight of English influence
would be cXerted to secure fair dealing
for her, but there is little English hope
of that issue. On the contrary, the gen.
eral belief is that we are at the be
ginning of a long and momentous de
Velopment Of events.
Russia will keep on asserting that
no temporary reverse can be allowed to
influence the final result. At whatever
cost and however prolonged the war,
Russia must retrieve her position.
The army corps organization an
officer said, will not be continued.

the empire.
Another startling indication of the
new order of things in the British army
is given by the official announcement
that the war office, which hitherto has
regarded journalism as the army's most
deadly enemy. intends 10 publish a

no rights except those accorded by the
