Jap Spies in St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, May 25.-Investiga-
ton made by the authorities into the
recent attempts to destroy some of the
vessels of the Baltic fleet at Cronstadt
has resulted in the arrest of four Jap
aneSe spies, who have escaped dCtec-
ton by wearing the uniform of naval
cadets. h authorities here think
they have been harbored by anarchists.
AT Cronstadt the battleship Orel.
which was brought there some days
ago to receive her main battery and to
be given the finishing touches before
going into commission, suddenly sank
at her anchorage on the night of May
20. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, com
mander in chief of the Baltic squadron,
was instantly called from St. Peters,
burg, and under his supervision the
work OF pumping out and raising the
Orel was begun.
The ship was raised Sunday morning,
and was found to be unchanged save
that her interior was filed with dirty
alt water. An examination showed
that the valves had been opened. per-
hitting the water to rush in. 1t is sug-
gested that the carelessness Of a work
man might have been responsible for
the opening of the valves, but an in

threatening Attitude of Chinese.
Lao Yang, May 25.-General Ma
commander of Chinese troops, is in
constant communication With Toulisan,
chief of the Chinese bandits. who are
adopting a military organization under
japanese instructors. Toulisan's dis
trict is the granary of Manchuria. He
IS a great organizer and built seven i'm
merse gra1arieS which are strongly
garrisoned. Toulisan ordered the IN
habltants to bring in their surplus
grain, forbidding them to sell it to the
russians n ordering them To reserve
the gram for Chinese armies which are
coming from the northwest.
Hundreds OF disguised soldiers are
coming up he river styling themselves
W~ork!ngmen. They remain idle and
are well fed, while the Russians are
unable to get food. The Chinese Off
Gals are ~obsequious to Toulisan, who
collects the taxes of the district.
SWarms Of disguised Chinese soldiers
are i'll the vicinity of Lao Yang. and
Chinese troops are guarding the Shan
kWang Shin Min Tung railway.
Ihe Russians are having the greatest
1lflculty in pacifying the inhabitants,
who apparently are anxious to rise
against them. Toulisan, Gen. Ma ana
Ficeroy Yuan Shi Kui are partfsans
Of the Ming dynasty, and are openly
planning a revolution with the aid of
japanese, who cleverly take advantage
Of the quarrels between the partisans,
of Tai Ping and Ming ~dynasties. The
former is ~championed by the banner
men or privileged classes of MongoIs
who hate the Chinese. The latter are
headed by Yuan Shi Kai; and the
whole Chinese nation, provinces and CT
ties, where the Chinese element pre-
dominates. are invariably pro-Japa-
hese. The Russian sympathizers are
only to be found among the banner men
