IN PAPER CURRENCY.
Russia Has Put Out Some Bill,
AGAINST Gold in Vaults


st. Petersburg, April N-Russia has
made d new issue Of SIS 600 in paper
currency against free gold in the state
bank. In the ministry of finance it was
explained that it was an ordinary issue
and in no sense was forced. Under the
law paper is issuable 70 double the amount
of gold, up to $50, 100000 gold, in excess
of which paper must be covered rouble
for rouble. In the state bank il figures
$500, 100000 in gold. which would permit Of
an issue of $4,000. go in paper, but the
paper issue at present only amounts TO
$3.50. 100000
All sorts Of figures of the cost of the
war are printed abroad. The correspond
ent OF the Associated Press is authorita-
lively informed that the daily expenses
are averaging $3.50. Co., and it is estimated
that years expenditures for the war
will total $3.50 OQO. 900. To meet this there
existed free balance Of s50,OOe000. which
was increased to sl15 000. 900 by reductions
of the ordinary budgets, leaving ostensi-
bly, s135 100000 to be found. But portion
of the latter is made up by the increased
earnings of the railroads owned by the
government. 1t being in reality a ques-
ton of bookkeeping. how the balance is
to be raised has not yet been determined
No foreign loan has been arranged and
none Is desired if it can be avoided, as
practically the total of the war expendi-
lures will be raised at home. The min
is:ry of finance believes il may be easy
to float an internal loan late in the sum-
mer or fall

St Petersburg April 22.-An doubt as
to the cause of the destruction OF the
battleship Petropavlovsk and the dam
age to the battleship Pobieda, at Port
Arthur, is dissipated by the report sub
mitted by telegraph to the emperor April
d In it Viceroy Alexieff stated in a
way that leaves the matter no longer an
open question that mines were response
BILE for the disaster. The admission of the
presence of japanese ships of Port Ar
thur on the night preceding the going
out of the Russian ships, which were
watched by Admiral Makaroff, tends TO
establish Admiral Togo's claim that his
ships laid mines on which the Russian
battleships struck.
The viceroy's report was sent only after
a thorough investigation, ordered by the
emperor. It was published this morning
through the war commission. 1t explicit
ly states that under the starboard side
of Dat VII
plosion." and specifically declares that a
mine exploded under the Pobieda. That
the Russian ships did not run on their
own mines is shown by the failure of the
viceroy to mention anything of the kind
and by the positive statement of the
port admiralty that Admiral Makaroff
was familiar with the location of the tor
pedoes defending the port. The Russian
officials also fail to understand the sur
prisipg blunder caused by the mistake
of the Russian torpedo boat destroyers
in taking the Japanese torpedo boats for
a Russian flotilla. which resulted in the
loss of the Strashpi.
FURTHER DETAILS.
Port Arthur, April 21.-Further details
of the action of the cruiser Bayan during
the night of April Is show that / ncoy
ering the retreat of the Russian torpedo
boats she approached within thirty cable
lengths of the enemy i nattempting to
rescue the Strashni's crew and stood
broadside to the enemy, keeping four
cruisers at bay while she lowered her
boats on the other side and picked up five
sailors. In spite of the weight of the
enemy's fire not a single man on the Bay
an was wounded. One of the Bayan's
sAalls fell between the smokestacks of
one Of the Japanese cruisers, producing
a heavy explosion aboard.
