THINKS JAPANESE
WILL WIN OUT

There was passenger in the steam
er Doric whose opinion of the Russo
Japanese situation differs radically
from that of Correspondent Fuller.
published yesterday. This man is H.
j. Brown OF New York, who has been
in the employ of the De Forest Wire
less telegraph company. Mr.. Brown
and H. E. Athearn of Brooklyn sailed
from Vancouver on the 25th of Janu-
airy in the Empress of India, taking
with them an outfit of wireless instru-
n1ents for the dispatch boat Haimun
which is under charter to the London
Times and the New York Times.
Immediately on their arrival at Yo-
kohama TIE men went on the dispatch
boat and by the time the steamer ar
rived at Wei-hai-Wei the apparatus was
in working order. For nearly two
months the dispatch boat cruised in
the gulf and got the best of most of
its rivals through the wireless appar-
atus. On the 14th of April the Russian
government addressed note to the
powers stating that in the future all
vessels caught in waters considered
to be within the sphere of military
operations equipped with wireless in
struments would be considered prizes
and that all correspondents caught
using the instruments would be treat
ed as spies.
At the same time that this note was
sent out the Times dispatch boat Hal
nun was captured in the neighborhood
of Port Arthur and taken into the
harbor AS the vessel had not had
warning Of the action of Russia she
was released and her correspondents
warned to make themselves scarce in
that vicinity. The steamer sailed for
Yokohama at once and after waiting
for deve3 opnents Mr.. Brown decided to
return to the States.
Asked as TO his opinion of Mr. Full
ler's statement he said that he dis
agreed with him on most points al
though it was a friendly disagreement
Mr.. Brown is of the opinion that Port
Arthur is not so impregnable as has
been reported "It can be taken,'' he
said, although it will cost a great
many men. I do not believe that the
Russians are we'll supplied with food.
The report that men were being shot
for stealing food is significant. From
what I have observed it is quite prob
able that the beleaguered garrison is
actually in need of food" Mr. Brown
expressed his strong sympathy with
Japan and said that in his opinion her
chances of victory We're good.
