che Foo, (s o. m.) May 19.-People
lust arrived here from Port Dainy
have reported to the Russian consul
that the Japanese battle ship Shiki-
shina sank in two minutes after the
contact with a submarine mine, and
that there was no time to save the
crew. The accident happened. it is
said in sight of Port Arthur. They
saw that the battle ship Fuji. not the
cruiser Asama. which struck mine
ON the port bow, had heavy list
and was also down by the bow, but
was righted and went of in tow of
other cruisers. 1t is thought impossi-
Bile. however, that she reached port.
The rumor that the Asama had sunk
at Keer Bay, probably refers to the
sinking Of the cruiser Miaka which
took place there recently. The Rus
sian consul personally had telegram
from Dalny saying it Is rumored there
that two Japanese battle ships have
been sunk on Port Arthur Refugees
