(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, April 15.-The Russian
government has given notice that news
paper correspondents using wireless teleg-
raphy will be treated as spies and shot.
This notice was served on the State
Department by Count Cassini, the Rus
sian ambassador TO-DAY and it is under
stood that similar communications were
made to all foreign officers. 1ne com
mrnication says:
''In a case in which neutral steamers
ha wing on board correspondents who
might communicate war news to the en-
envy by means IF perfected apparatus not
being yet foreseen by existing conven-
tiCns would be arrested near the coast
of Kuantong or in the zone OF opera
items of the Russian fleet the cores
pondcnts will be looked on as spies and
the steamers furnished with wireless
teIegraphy seized as prizes of war;
This notice opens up. an entirely new
liuc of treatment of correspondents.
II happens that some Of the leading
British newspaper correspondents are
making free use of the wireless telegraph
in the transmission of their war news
and it is possible that they will appeal
to their government to define their own
privileges and 20 secure an official de-
termination of the question as to whether
neutral on his own ship outside the
territorial waters of a belligerent power
and without contraband of war aboard
car be treated as a spy.

Gaydamak then put to sea.
The division of Russian torpedo boats,
which put to sea on Tuesday night, kept
up a running fight with the enemy until
early Wednesday morning, when the
cruiser Bayan steamed out to aid the
torpedo boat destroyer Bezstrashni, which
was crippled and unable to shake off the
japanese attack. The Bayan drove the
enemy off, but the Bezstrashnl sank at I

Ten Warships Lost or Injured.
(By the Associated Press.)


st. Petersburg, April 15-6:30 p. NJ
There are now only two unchanged bat
tleships, the Peresviet and the Sevastopol,
in the harbor of Port Arthur, but some of
the damaged vessels have been repaired,
although their exact number and condi-
ton are not known. The other electives
are the armored cruiser Bayan, the first
class cruisers Askold and Diana, the sec
ond-class cruiser Novik, the torpedo gun
boats Vsadnk and Gaydimak, the gun
boats Gremiaschi, OtvasnI Gilllak and
Bobr, the cruisers Piidjid, Razboynik and
Zaziaka. and the torpedo boat destroyers,
whose exact number is not known.
Altogether ten Russian vessels have been
damaged or lost since the outbreak of the
war.
The disaster of Wednesday ends the hope
that the Inflated Port Arthur squadron
would be able to become an aggressive
factor in the operations before it is rein
forced by the arrival of the Baltic fleet.
Until then the aim of the Russians will
be to hold Port Arthur and conserve the
remaining ships within the protection of
its guns.
