SAILORS IN A FIGHT.
Americans and Spaniards I'm Hand TO
Hand Conflict.

St Thomas, D. w. l., Feb. a.
A fight occurred here yesterday after
noon between sailors from a Spanish
and an American warship, which re-
suited in the wounding of several men
and an ultimate victory for the Amer
leans.
The fight originated when a seaman
from the United States cruiser Colum-
bia jostled a sailor from the Spanish
cruiser Rhode LaPlata as he passed
him in the street. The Spaniard was
with a companion from his ship, as
was the American sailor, and all the
men were on shore liberty. The Span
ish sailor drew a stilletto and serious
ly wounded the American, who had
brushed against him. Other men
from the Columbia who were on shore
gathered around their companions and
attacked the two Spaniards, who de-
Tended themselves with their knives
and succeeded in slightly woundins
several other Americans. They finally
escaped, ran to the wharf and jumped
into the water. They were picked up
by a harbor boat and taken on board
their warship. The wounded Ameri-
can sailor is in a hospital here in a
critical condition

at Petersburg, February 25.-Z:4s a.
"A telegram from Viceroy AeMeT
to the Car says:
At quarter before three In the
morning of February 23rd. numerous
Japanese torpedo boats attempted to
attack the battleship Retvlzan ana
slnk large steamers, loaded with In
aamables. The Retvizan was the first
to observe the torpedo boats. and
epened a strong fire on them. She
was supported by the land batteries.
She destroyed the two steamers near
the entrance Of the harbor: they were
coming directly towards her. One OF
them vent on the rocks near the light
house on Tiger Peninsula. and the
other sank under Golden Hill. The
Retvizan observed four steamers in a
sinking condition, and eight torpedo
boats departing slowly. to rejoin the
waiting warships- A portion Of the
crews OF the Japanese vessels was
drowned. The grounded steamer Is
still burning. The enemy is observed

FINE DIPLOMATIC MOVE.
Japan Practically Assumes Protector.
ate Over Korea

Washington. February A.-Secretary
pan has negotiated treaty with Korea,
whereby she guarantees the indepen-
dence and integrity of Korea.
This is regarded here as one Of the
cleverest of the many startling diplo-
matte moves that have been made in
connection with the whole eastern ques-
ton. The effect is to place Japan on
a high moral plane, for it is understood
here that this treaty is an announce
ment to the world. that even If she pre-
walls in her struggle with Russia, in
volving military occupation Of Korea,
Japan will take no advantage Of that
fact, but will maintain the indepen-
dence of the hermit kingdom.
On the other hand, the Russian note
complaining Of the violation Of Korean
neutrality by japan is believed here to
be intended to pave the way for future
heavy reclamations, indeed involving
the seizure Of Korea and it's annexation
for violation of neutrality. in the event
that Russia triumphs in the present
struggle.
No details of the new Japanese-Ko-
rean treaty have been announced at the
state department. 1t is known, howev-
er. that Korea in return gives Japan
extensive military rights and the offi-
cials here regard the negotiation of the
treaty as declaration by Japan of her
protectorate over the hermit kingdom
and a move which has long been ex-
pected. 1t is supposed that Japan is
given the right to fortify Korea in any
way she wishes and practically as
sumo control of all Korea's defenses.
This declaration of a protectorate
over Korea by Japan, of course removes
Korea from the rank of neutral powers
and makes the hermit kingdom as le-
gitimate a field for military operations
as Japan itself.

CANNOT LAY A CABLE
Commercial Company Wants to Land
a Cable on the Island Of Guam.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Inquiries
have been addressed to the govern
ment by representatives of the Com
mercial Cable Company as to whether
permission could be secured to land
on the Island of Guam an ocean ca
BILE connecting with japan.
The request is based on apprehen-
sion that the existing Japanese cables.
both of which run to Shanghai, cross
ing the mouth Of the Yellow Sea. may
from their exposed positions be cut
by the Russians and japan be left
completely isolated from the world.
At Guam, the projected cable,
Of course, would connect with the ex-
listing American cable east and west
Careful examination has been made
into the question as to whether or not
an assent on the part of the United
States to this request would involve
a breach of neutrality. The decision
reached was in the negative.

This proclamation Is under six heal

news, were greatly excited.
The news of victory was accompan-
led by two stories, one that after the
first decisive Russian victory. the En-
peror would offer peace. and the other
that Japan had deposed the Emperor
of Korea and formally annexed that
country. Both these reports are with
out confirmation and they are gwen
simply as examples Of the stories which
fioated about in the excited CROWDS.
Instead of diminishing, the crowds at
the admiralty and newspaper and teie-
graph agencies offices kept increasing,
and the excitement attained the fever
point when 1t was known definitely
that the Emperor had received tele-
gram giving more details and showing
the Russian victory was even greater
than was at first reported. NeWspa-
per messengers waited at the admiral
ty with fast horses, ready to carry
away the news which II was known
was being prepared. When the snsets
were finally distributed at 2:3O O'Clock
this morning, a rush was made for the
exits and the assembled crowds cheer
ed wildly and repeatedly. The crowds
showed no inclination to disperse
hoping that further news would be re-
ceiyed showing the exact extent OF
the Russian victory.
1t must be observed, that in his dis
patch VicerOy Alex1en does not men
ton the number Of steamers which the
Japanese. tried to sink OR drive upon
the Russian ships, and it is not Yet
known whether the four vessels. the
ca ptain of the Retvizan observed going
down, in addition to the two Destroyer,
were also laden with inflammables o.
whether they were warships.
The greatest praise is given to the
commander Of the Retvizan and the
splendid action of the American built
vessel places her name foremost on
the roll of the Russian navy.
Viceroy AIexieff's dispatch was an
amplification Of a briefer telegram re-
ceived by the Emperor earlier but
which was not given out.
Later 1t was said that Russia sus-
tanned no losses in the engagement.
1t is evident that Vice Admiral Stark
no longer commands the Russian Port
Arthur naval forces, Viceroy Aexi'if
mentioning a temporary commander o.
the fleet without giving any name.
Stories to the effect that the Japa-
nese designed an attempt at landing
| in Pigeon Bay at the same time that
| the engagement occurred are not men,
| toned in the dispatches, but 1t Is as
| sumed these are without foundation.
