thousands of men but it is. point OF
pride with them to take the place by
sheer force.
The japanese are keeping their
losses at Port Arthur very QUIET. The
papers in Japan. both English and
japanese are forbidden to publish any
thing about the movements around
Port Arthur. But Slaughter was ex-
pected. The japanese are the bravest
people in the world in this respect
that they are not afraid to die Every
soldier bids farewell to his family with
the idea that he will never return.
The Russian army is not the for
midabIe body of men that it is sup
posed to be. When I was in New
chwang only heard of three regiments
Of veterans. The others We're unsea-
soned peasants. Many of the Cos
sacks whose name has been ter
ror are but raw peasantry. There are
very few real Cossacks at the front
I believe that the Russian force is
greatly overestimated I do not believe
that there are over 10000 in, Manchu-
ria. The Japanese have about 100, 900
with $4,000 in Korea If the Japanese
win they will entirely dominate the
Hermit Kingdom and they ought to for
the people there are only fit to be ruled
and their government was a mere
farce"
Mr.. Clough says that the reason that
the Korea escaped capture was be-
cause the Russian squadron had al
ready passed the Tsugaro straits on
their way to their home port They
never approached the coast nearer than
sixty miles. It is true that the Korea
did come in a heavy mist and might
have escaped capture by that method
if the squadron had been in that vicin-
ity to be escaped. 1t is probable that
this raid was planned to draw Togo's
fleet from Port Arthur. When asked
if it We're not possible that the Rus
slams let the Korea go because they
were not DESTROYS of getting into com
plications with the United States Mr.
Ciough said that he thought it to be
4 very good reason. The squadron
vas not forced to return on account of
ack of coal as they only steamed at
lbout ten miles per hour although they
nave a capacity of twenty-one knots.
They had coal for 5000 miles steam

NO COAL NEEDED.

It is rather surprising, in all the ex-
pert talk about coaling difficulties for
the Russian Baltic fleet, that no one
has thought, until now, of fuel oil.
Russia has an abundance of Caspian
oil and. as a Hongkong paper points
out probably intends to use it instead
of coal which, as is recalled, she has
preventing herself from getting at
neutral points by declaring it contra
band of war. BY using oil, the Baltic
fleet could steam right along, taking
on supplies at sea through flexible
pipes connected at any reasonable dis
lance with oil tenders.
Russia has been busy for three
months putting the Baltic fleet in
state of preparation. Early in the war
she purchased eighteen merchant
steamers from Denmark and others
from Germany, vessels that could east
ly be converted into oil-carriers. Late
ly she has sent a squadron to sea for
an experimental cruise Is it unlikely
that these ships are out trying new oil
burning apparatus? Considering how
practical the use of fuel oil has be-
come in the merchant marine, what ia
there to interfere with it's use in the
war marine?
