Capt. Charles H. Martin, of the 14th
United States Infantry, relates the
following: "On the return march
from Pekin and while approaching
Hohsiwoo the column of the 14th
United States infantry one evening
was overtaken by Russian officer
of high rank in his three-hofse buck
board, driven by his orderly. At the
time the rear battalion of the regi-
ment, temporarily commanded by my
self, was entering defile, bordered on
each side by low, swampy ground, the
road just being wide enough to &C.
commodate the column. suddenly
heard loud shout, Watch out, cap
tain! Watch out!' but before could
even turn my head l found my horse
on his knees, with the Russians
horses on top of us. After extricating
ourselves, l found that the Russian,
seeing the narrow road before him
and not proposing to be delayed by
our column, had deliberately plunged
into us, regardless Of consequences.
"The temporary check which he had
received by my being in the way
seemed to infuriate the officer and
with violent gesticulations he ordered
his orderly to drive on. Two enlisted
men nearest us held his horses heads.

where he was until the rear of the
column had passed. In spite Of such
show Of force he persisted in vio-
lently urging his horses forward and
was only stopped by being knocked to
the ground by the butt of a gun and
having the horses unhitched from the
conveyance. AS he rose from the
ground he started to draw his re.

Russian cruiser Novik), commander
of the squadron here has issued an or.
der of the day referring to the death
Of Vice Admiral Makaroff, in which he
attributes the loss of the Petropav-
lovsk to the battleship having touched
mine, adding:
"The ways of the Almighty are in.
scrutable. Every war demands such
sacrifices as this. which has deprived
the fleet of an experienced fighting
commander, his whole staff. the crew
of the Petropavlovsk and the battle
ship itself
But such is the will Of God. Ever
lasting honor to those who were lost.
They fell as heroes. but the war will
raise up heroes who will take their
places. Let us have fortitude and
place our trust in the Lord and we
shall never be confounded."

st. Petersburg.-What may turn out
to be the anticipated fianking move
ment OF the Japanese troops is the APP
pearance of a number of Japanese
ships off Potonsa, near the gulf of
Chingtaitse, as reported to the en-
peror by Gen. Kuropatkin.
Military experts here have long re-
garded that vicinity as the probable
point of Decentralization OF the second
Japanese expedition. 1t is not far
away from Takushan (12 miles to the
easU, and connects by road with Port
Arthur Q50 miles to the southwest,
and Fenghuancheng $50 miles to the
northwesD, where the Russians will
make their first obstinate resistance.
Though the Japanese are building
Entertainments on the Yalu, 1t Is be-
lieved that they will advance soon.
The arrangement for turning
movement are complete, and experts
say that such movement could pro-
perly begin at Takushan, as Feng-
huancheng lies in one angle Of an
equilateral triangle, with Takushan
and the Yalu as the base.
The Japanese Decentralization will
undoubtedly be covered by warships,
and the Russians recognize that it
will be impossible to prevent it.

SEC. HAY WORRIED.
Russian Agents Trying to Buy Ships
Here, In Order to Convert Them In.
to Vessels Of War.

Here, In Order to Convert Them In.
to Vessels Of War.
Neutrality-suspicious. is trying to
buy ships In the United States which
can be quickly converted into fast
| cruisers.
Russian agents are visiting all OF
the large shipyards In the country to
ascertain what ships are building
which could be made into cruisers or
gunboats and how long 1t would take
to change the plans and complete
them. japanese spies are watching
them and trailing their every move
ment.
This Is the information that has
reached the state department. 1t is
not Official but there Is believed to
be at least considerable truth in the re-
port.
One OF the state departments In
formants is connected with one of the
largest shipbuildng firms in the coun-
try. He said Russian agents had ap-
preached his firm concerning the pros
pective purchase of merchant ships
which On the ways. What
progress the Russians may have made
at other yards is not known.
This information mas created some
anxiety in the state department, but
Mr.. Hay Is not greatly worried about 1t
as it is not expected that in any event
there will be an open violation Of the
presidents neutrality proclamation.
If the Russian government should
directly purchase any ships now build
ing or built in this country their de-
livery would be prevented, but no such
contingency Is looked for.
If Russia finds any ships that she
wants and can make terms for them
the natural expectation Is that she will
have them bought ostensibly for mer-
chant service, by German firm or
representative of some other neutral
power, who will turn them over to
Russia at sea or any port that Russia
might designate.
In that case it probably would be
impossible to prove that the ships were
to be sold to Russia or used by her as
warships and the question Of a VIOLA
ton of neutrality might not come up
at all. If the Japanese could prove
that Russia was the real purchaser
of the ships and that they were to be
used for war purpose the question of
permitting their delivery would be put
plainly up to the state department,
but that is an unlocked for develop
ment.
1t is not known how many ships are
now building in this country which
could be converted into warships. The
navy department formerly kept rec
ord of all such ships, with full details
concerning their construction, but this
record has not been kept up for sever
al years. BY order of the general
board the bureau Of naval intelligence
soon ssS oy will l.s agapp take axe ag the collec-
1t is said at the navy department
that the four ships said to have been
bought by Russia at Stettin can be cas-
lily converted into warships, as all
ships built In Germany are built un-
der the subsidy law and are intended
for use as auxiliary cruisers in case
of war.
Their deck beams are built to carry
heavy guns and they are SO construct
ed that they can be quickly made
available for war purposes 1t is sup
posed that these ships were bought
by the representative of a neutral
power and they will be turned over to
Russia at sea.

Another detachment of rs Russian
