THE TRUTH AT LAST.
The Japanese Admit the Loss OF their
Bi at Battleship


A dispatch from Paris says the AS
S,clated Press was put in position
Thursday to state p sitively that Its
dispatches from Chcefoo, Port Arthur
and Toxic last June to the fleet that
the japanese battleship Yashima had
been sunk by u mine off Dalny, which
dispatchs were denied by lhe Japan
ese authorities at the time, have been
confirmed The Japanese govern
n,ent has notified foreign govern
ments Ct the loss OF the ship. The
number OF men who went down with
the vessel is not known, but is bel!ev-
ed TO have been small. The Official
details show that the Yashima struck
a Russian mine and later attempted
to make Dllny har00T, but this prov
ed impossible and she sank in deep
water.
Tue loss OF the Yashima has been
concealed by the japanese, though tue
Russian authorities have believid for
some time That the rep )rts that the
battleship had been destroyed were
correct. 1t is important, since 1T is now
disclosed that Japan has only four
modern battieshipS remaining.
The Yashima was one Of the finest
battleShips Of the japanese navy. Her
displac mcnt was l2,300 tons, about
the size Of the American battles hip
Maine, and she had speed Of 19
knots. The Russian squadron at Port
Arthur includes five modern battle
ships, more or less damaged, and Vice

The Difference.

The Wilmington Star says: tom
watson is denouncing the Hon. Will

Judge Parker. Colonel Bryan is open
~ making fight for the candidate
whom he wants elected, while Wat
son, under the prctence that he is a
candidate himself, is bushwhacking
for Roosevelt. That is the difference
between statesman like Bryan and a
