BATTLESHIp RAhNED EY lR0AClAD

st. Petersburg, June 30.-Twenty.
two sailors were drowned at the Baltic
works during the day while expert
ments were being made with the tor
pedo boat Delfin, which had been con-
verted into a submarine boat. Four
officers and thirty men were on board
when the signal was given to sub
merge the boat without first properly
closing the manhole. The result was
the vessel sunk.
The accident was due partly to the
excessive number of the crew, mostly
inexperienced men, and chiefly to the
unfortunate attempt of man to escape
while his comrades were screwing
down the manhole.
The Delfin is Russia's best subma-
rine boat. She was designed by Naval
Architect BoubnoH and Captain Bek-
lemisheff and underwent a successful
trial in 1908.

ST. Petersburg, June 30.-The whole

the battle to begin in earnest inside OF
several days, although admitting that
heavy fighting between the advance
forces may now be in progress. The
papers, with the exception Of the army
organ and the Novoe Vremya, are
unanimously of the opinion that a
pitched battle is now certain. The
former is silent on the subject. which
may be significant, especially as Gen.
eral Kuropatkin's movements are
shrouded in mystery. The Novoe
Vremya says:
"The time for strategy is passed.
We are now on the eve OF tactics. Not
knowing the exact position of our
forces we cannot state what KurOpat.
kin intends to do. 1t Is possible he
may consider it untimely and unprofit-
able to enter upon a decisive engage
ment of all his forces, in which event,
while engaging the enemy, who is
pouring troops down upon him, he may
retire northward to meet his reinforce
menIs."
The tone in both public and official
circles has greatly improved. The re-
port that the Port Arthur squadron has
successfully put to sea and that no
snip has actually been sunk seems to
have removed the dependency and
Developments on Land and Sea
are looked forward to with increased
cheerfulness. Confidence is manifested
in the influence the navy will have
upon the campaign and many people
are inclined to attribute the Japanese
precipitancy to get at KurOpatkin to
the fact that the squadron at large
threatens the Japanese army's sea
communications.
Special dispatches say it was Major
General Mistchenko's division which
has been engaged in constant fighting
in the vicinity of the mountain passes
over which the Japanese are advanc

ing only when the enemy appeared in
overwhelming numbers. The CORE
spondent considers it doubtful whether
General Kuroki will advance all three
columns, as this would disunite his
forces. He is more likely to push home
his attack from Siuyen upon Tatche-
kiao, exclusive of General Okn. The
correspondent figures that Kuroki has
10000 troops, the Japanese commander
being in personal command of $4,000
men at Dalien pass.
General Kuropatkin has issued an
army order insisting on the kindest
and most humane treatment OF jap
Rnese prisoners and wounded, notwith-
standing the tales OF atrocities COM
mitted by the Japanese. The order,
which directs that the same respect
and honor should be paid to the brave
foes as II they were Russians, is most
fayorably commented upon by the No
voc Vremya, which says:
"The Japanese apparently are una
BILE to restrain their instincts. As the
military operations develop and our
reverses multiply they seem to become
more savage"

DR. Kemper's story:
I'VE were called to the scene of the
wreck from Maple Hill just eight min
utes before it occurred. This probably
seems impossible to those who are not
acquainted with the facts. but it is
true just the same. When the cattle
train was reported through Maple Hill
and the passenger train through Will
lard the dispatcher in Topeka knew
that a wreck was coming. He imme-
diately called the operator at Maple
Hill and told him to notify US Of a
wreck between Maple Hill and Willard.
We started at about the time the wreck
occurred and arrived at the scene
about thirty minutes later"
