HEAVY LOSS OF JAPANESE
The Story of Sorte From Port Arthur ZONE thouS.
and JapS Fall.

London (By Cable).-Accordng to
reports from Toxic and St. Peters
burg, though somewhat conflicting, it
would appear that the Japanese have
lost five or six warships in the past 10
days. They are becoming almost as
unlucky as the Russians in naval
losses, but claim they have not yet
destroyed any of their ships by their
own mines, although it is not clear
whether Russian or Japanese mine
is responsible for their latest dis
astcr.
An official report from Vice Admi-
raj Togo states that the cruisers Ka-
saga and Yoshino collded during a
fog off Port Arthur on May IS. The
Yoshino sank, only 90 of her crew
beng saved.
The battlcship Hatsuse while cruis-
ing off Port Arthur, covering the
landing of the soldiers, struck mine
10 knots southeast of the harbor en-
trance. She signalled for help and
Instantly struck another mine. She
sank in half an hour Three hundred
of her crew were saved by torpedo
boats.
Japanese officers are reported to
have Informed correspondents that
two Russian destroyers have escaped
from Port Arthur and are still at
large. They stated that the Russians
are using Chinese junks to place
mines in the path OF the Japanese
fleet patroling the Peninsula coast.
In consequence of this promiscous
mining the Japanese fleet is moving
to a greater distance off the coast. and
all other navigation i'll these waters
is suspended There are indications
that the Japanese dcstroycrs have laid
many mines outside OF Port Arthur,
hoping to catch the Russian destroy
crs in their attempt to return to Fort
Arthur. Many OF these mines have
been improperly anchored and arc
adrit They are reported to be all
over the gull. One Chinese Junk
picked up 10.
Although not confirmed by the Ad-
miralty at St. Petersburg, dispatchcs
from Chcioo repeat a story told by
Russians arriving from Dalny hat
during bombardmcnt OF Port Ar
thur last Monday the Japanese bat
tlcshps Shikishlma and Euljl struck
mines, aud the former sank and the
latter was disabled.
Although the names differ from
those contained in Admiral logos
report, they may refer to the same
| vessels.

All we'll. Weather fine. Work

Admiral Schley.
AS his splendid life draws toward
the close Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley is in position to realize the
truth Of these poetic lines:
But time at last sets all things even,
And, if we do but watch the hour,
There never vet was human power
That could avert, if unforgiven,
The patient search and vigil long
OF him who treasures up wrong.
Schley won magnificent victory
which wrote his name in the scanty
list of the worlds great sea kings
Lord Nelson. John Paul Jones, Perry,
Dewey and Farragut. One of the
meanest performances recorded in all
history was the persistent and sys
tematic effort to rob him of his glory,
but the American people are just and
fair, and they made him one of their
popular heroes. He is enshrined for
ever in the great, pulsing heart Of the
common people. the plain people, as
Abraham Lincoln loved to call them.
No victor ever deported himself with
more modesty His declaration,
"There is glory enough for al" will
live for all time. Recently he spent a
portion OF his well earned leisure in
writing a book entitled Forty five
Years Under the Flag which for its
fairness, candor and easy literary
style has won the plaudits of all who
have read it. Kaiser Wilhelm of Ger
many was so pleased with it that he
ordered it to be made part of the
library of every vessel in the imperial
navy certainly Il rare compliment. one
which no doubt went straight to the
heart of the great admiral. Job said,

been Interpreted to mean that the man
who writes a book puts his foot in it"

speak more elegantly, delivers himself

is not always So General Grant did
himself infnite credit and made a for
tune for his family by writing his

the same thing by writing his Twenty
Years Of Congress 1t is q healthy
