An Associated Press dispatch from
st. Petersburg, says Russian tor.

the exception Of seventeen officers,
twenty soldiers, sixty.nve OF the crew
and eighty-five coolle carriers.
The others, who refused to surren.

ship. .....
The official report of Rear Admiral
feszen TO the emperor is as follows:
During the night Of April 2Cth two
Russian torpedo boats met at sea the
Japanese military transport Klnshiu
Maru, Of 1000 tons, laden with rice
and other military stores and about
1900 tons OF coal. The transport was
armed with four Hotchkiss guns of
AZ millimeters. The Russians cap.

twenty soldiers, eighty.hve military

the crew, who surrendered.
The remainder of the men, who

offered armed resistance In the end
thoy were sent to the bottom.

besides the sinking Of the Japanese
steamer Goyo Maru, at wonsan (Gen.

sea the same evening the japanese
steamer Nakamura Mapu, of 22O tons,
whose crew was saved.
The satisfaction of the people II

Vladivostok squadron is tempered with
admiration for the bravery of the
Japanese soldiers who we're on board
the sunken transport Kinshiu Maru
and who preferred to drown rather
than surrender. .I I
The admiralty admits that the
men acted heroically, but holds that
Admiral Yeszen had no other alter.

In the case of the smaller Japanese
transpor. sunk by the torpedo boats
at Wonsan, The crew were sent ashore
because there was no accommodations

The crew OF the Japanese steamer

ADVISES CHANGES IN ASYLUM
State Board of Control Returns From
Visit to Fort SteiIacoom.

OLYMPIA, Aug pa ma jority of
the state board of control have return
ed from a trip to SteilacOom Insane
Asylum. While there they decided to
relieve the cOngested condition of the
mems side of the institution by con-
verting the building which has former
ly been used as a carpenter SHOP into
a ward for the inmates. An addition
al ward has also been fitted up in the
basement of the asylum which will ac-
commodate about forty-five men.
1t is expected that the relief afforded
by these additions will enable the asy-
lum to care for all the inmates for a
year to come. There are at present
SO7 inmates at the asylum, and this
number is increa sing rapidly.
Among recommendations which the
board will make to the coming legisla-
ture will be the building of a wing to
the asylum, or row of cottages
around the grounds. in which to care
for the milder cases.
1t is hoped by the board also. to SCI
cure an appropriation. with which to
carry on the experiment of removing
some of the more violent cases from
the asylum at Medical Lake to Stella
patients afflicted with intense melan-
chOlia. 1t is believed that the differ
ence in the climate will have a benefit
