came into port on the press boat Fawan,
have been released. They were deported to
Chefoo today.
The Fawan arrived at New Chwang with
two American newspaper correspondents
on board and the Japanese referred to in
the above dispatch were their servants.
The correspondents and the japanese were

Capt. Essen May Be Raiding Secretly.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 26-The naval
staff has no confirmation of the reports
from Tokyo and Seoul of the destruction
of Japanese merchantmen by Russian
torpedo boat destroyers at Won-San or the
appearance there Of three Russian cruisers
belonging to the vladivostok squadron.
Whether Capt. Essen, commander OF the
Vladivostok squadron has taken the squad
ron on raiding expedition down the coast
is a secret which. naturally. would not be
divulged. If true, doubtless 1t was for the
purpose of demoralizing the people on the
coast and in the hope of playing havoc
with the Japanese transport fleet, but no
official news of the result of such raid
could reach ST. Petersburg until Capt.
Essen returns to port.

Mr. Russelps services are highly appre-
ciated at the State Department, where. 1t Is
said, that his promotion from the place OF
secretary to a full ministry was brought
about without influence of a political nature
and solely upon his merits. He acted as
charge and minister in Venezuela during
Minister Bowen's absence and sometimes
while Mr.. Loomis was minister there, ard
the conditions were exceeding onerous, re-
curing the greatest tact in dealing with
