BENJAMIN SEWAlL
NAY Be DtRHICT

The Manila Cablenews Of January 9
contains the following concerning the
ship Benjamin Sewall, which was re-
ported by Oriental papers to have
been sunk:
A strange story of the sea has come
to Manila.
During the early part of October last
1t was reported through the Hongkong
papers that the square-rigged ship
Benjamin Sewall. of Boston. had gone
down of the coast Of Formosa. 1t was
also stated that the captain and crew
had escaped to the shore. where they
fell into the hands Of friendly natives,
and finally reached japanese settle
ment.
The captain, himself. reported that
he had seen his ship sink beneath the
waves. Now comes the information
that the Benjamin Sewall still floats;
that she has been sighted by various
craft plying in the China Sea, and that
apparently, she is still capable Of
weathering many storms. An extract
from the log report of the British
steamer Ora gives the following details
Of the sighting Of the Sewall on Octo-
Der sixth.

proved to be the American ship Ben

JAPAN TO EXHIBIT.

st. Louis. Feb. 9.-Nanjime Ota,
japanese Commissioner to the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition, received a
cablegram from the president Of the
japanese Commission, Kipoura. today,
which said that the war would make
no difference with the exhibits OF
Japan at the fair. KiyOura is the Min
lister OF Commerce and Agriculture OF
Japan.
The engagement at Port Arthur Is
looked upon by Kanzaki. acting CON-
missioner, as a Japanese victory.

is victory or not" he said. "The
japanese will never give UP. They
win fight always to the end. We are q

Japan's Success
Surprised the World

New York. Feb. "a cablegram to
the Sun from London says: Japan's
daring coup In opening the war on the
strong Russian position at Port Arthur

indicative Of the tremendous energy
with which Japan will force the cam.
paign, but 1t is regarded as almost a
decisive blow, SO far as the naval op.
erations are concerned.
Naval experts here are Of the opin.
ion that the disablement Of three Of
the best ships Of the Russian feet ia
sufficiently important to assure the
Japanese OF victory upon the seas. All
acquainted with the personnel Of the
japanese navy and army agree that
the war will be q constant series Of
daredevil exploits, even riskier In
character than the bold dash at Port
Arthur last night. The best oficers
Of the navy have been begging for tor
pedo-boat service, in which they could
undertake enterprises involving almost
certain death. The real difhculty will
be to restrain men from 6ingins away
their lives unnecessarily. This quality
is so well understood that the wild
story Of the attack on Port Arthur and
the einking Of eleven japanese var
ships found ready credence In Duro
pean capitals.

The Texans cargo filled her to the
very matches and consisted Of machin

Discharging began Immediately al

On her last trip to New York the
Texan made the run from Puget

fifty-six days, without n stop, the trip
being the record for the big freighter.

the Texan logged 3l2 knots one day.
