Loss Of Yashima OF Port Dainy Fin.
ally Admitted by Japanese.
Dispatches from Chefoo, Port AT
thur and Tckio last June to the effect
that the Japanese battleship Yashima
had been sunk by mine on Dainy'
which dispatches were denied by the
Japanese authorities at the time, have
finally been officially confirmed. The
Japanese government has notified the
foreign governments Of the loss OF
the ship. The number of men VINO
went down with the vessel Is not
known, but it is believed to have been
small. The official details show that
the Yashima struck a Russian mine
and later attempted to make Dalny
harbor, but this proved impossible, and
she sank in deep water.
The loss Of the Yashima has been
concealed by the Japanese, though the
Russian authorities have believed for
some time that the reports that the
battleship had been, destroyed were
correct. It Is important, since It Is
now disclosed that Japan has only
four modern battleships remaining.
These are the Asahi, Fuji, Mikasa and
Shikishima.

Long before the second Pacific

The Japanese have not occupied Tie

When the Japanese occupy the east

ARE BLOWN TO ATOMS
FORTY PERSONS INJURED BY
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
City of Mount Vernon, New YORK,
Plunged Into Mourning and Much
Property Destroyed by Terrific
Explosion.

The explosion of over ton OF dyna'
mite under the Bond street bridge at
Mount Vernon, N. Y, on Wednesday,
shook the city and the surrounding
country within radius Of five miles,
probably killed at least one person
and injured nearly forty others, two
Of whom may die. The man sup.
posed to have been killed was an
Italian in charge of the dynamite. He
was seen at his post of duty just be-
fore the explosion, and no trace OF
him has since been found.
There were 1900 pounds of dyna-
mite stored at the side Of the deep
rock cut running from the western
limits Of the city to the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad sta
ton, which was used for blasting q
path for additional tracks.
The explosion tore q hole in the
ground eighty feet deep that is now
full Of water from hidden spring.
wrecked the Bond street bridge over
the railway tracks and broke all the
windows within a quarter Of q mile.
A heavy train, bound from New
York, was just pulling out of the
Mount Vernon station when the explo-
sion occurred, and the engineer
stopped until the track was cleared.
In another minute the train would
have reached the bridge.
Most Of the persons injured were
caught by falling ceilings and walls
in the houses nearby. Stoves in
stores and dwellings were overturned
and many fires were started, but in
each case the flames were quickly ex-
tinguished. The whole police force
and the fire department were called
out.

CULTIVATE SENSE OF TASTE

IT, Possession Said to Have Good
Effect on General Health.
Taste and smell are two senses we
DO not cultivate enough; indeed, hear
ing, rs we know In the case OF the
blind, can reach an acuteness which
the ordinary person IL absolutely de-
ficient In. Both taste and smell have
great uses. Probably we should not
see people living in dirty and insani-
tary conditions SO blissfully were the
sense Of smell little more developed;
while taste, especially in women, 10
often stigmatized as greediness. The
gourmet, to use q French word, 10
not gormandizer, but man whose
taste is aesthetically and exquisitely
trained. It Is said that the Marechal
Due de Richelieu. who was . great
gastronomic connoisseur, possessed so
fine . taste as to be able to distin.
guish whether the breast Of chicken
was cut from the side Of the gall or
not. In the same way wine-tasters
can tell q vintage instantly. Women
rather despise taste; they eat and
that Is all. Yet taste was certainly
given US for good purpose, and no
one can order dinner intelligent'y
who has not cultivated his palate. The
food one likes and enjoys always
agrees with ones health better than
any other, and the faddist who would
reduce all diet to uniformity would
in time swreckrthe, public digestion.
