TO meet this there existed a free balance

ADMITS ToGo's CLAIM.
Russian Admiralty Disposed to Accept
Story Of Disaster.

ST PETERSBURG. April 21.@ Pm
There is a growing disposition at the ad-
miralty to admit Vice Admiral Togo's claim
that Japanese mines sank the Petropav-
lovsk and injured the Pobieda The failure
of the warships to touch the mines while
going out to sea is explained by the fact
that when starting in pursuit Of the enemy s
cruiser division the Russian ships passed
out north of the mine field and in returning
after the appearance of the Japanese battle
ship division Vice Admiral Makarof headed
straight for the entrance of the harbor,
moving directly into the mines.
While this Is the general view, there are
those who stoutly resist Togo's claim, In
ssting on the theory Of the explosion OF
either a magazine or the boilers, and ac-
counting for the injury of the Pobieda,
which was in the wake of the Petropav-
lovsk, by the confusion following the dis
aster to the flagship, which sheered OFF on
striking Russian mine laid to protect the
entrance against a repetition OF the at
tempts to block the channel.
But the theories held here are really only
conjectures, as the Port Arthur authorities
have not yet reported the result of their
investigation.
No Signs of the Enemy.
PORT ARTHUR, April 21.-All has been
quiet here since April 10. There are no

tablish the British embassy also at Lenox
Tor the summer, but he Will not leave
washington until late in June. Mr.. Raikes,
the first secretary, and Mr.. Waterlow, the
third secretary, will go on leave shortly.

The Russian ambassador and the Count
ess Cassini, with the embassy staff, will
transfer the embassy to Bar Harbor, Me-.
for the entire summer.
The French ambassador and Nine. Jusse-
rand will spend the summer in France, and

will return to this country in June. but the
locality of the embassy for the summer has

"Great bitterness has been aroused
throughout Manchuria against Americans

Japanese flag.
''This belief apparently is due to the fact
that the japanese feet was larger imam
the Russians anticipated and included un-
known types of vessels. The feeling Is SO
strong that Americans and British are not
safe anywhere in Manchuria. One Rally
an American and several others, including
Davidson. a Canadian, have disappeared.
The authorities are looking for them.
''It is reported that Englishman was
arrested in Port Arthur as spy and was
taken to Mukden and hanged.
