London Papers Lay Aside Former TOns
 of Moderation.

London. Oct. 27 The tone of com parative moderation and miIdness hitherto shown by the press of Lon, don is observed to be yielding to one of an outspoken bellicose nature. The Daily Mail editorially speaks of war threatening. and gives In scare head lines "Ultimatum to Russia Expires this Afternoon etc.
 Without going to these lengths nearly all the papers are discussing the possibilities of war should the war party in St. Petersburg be able to in. ttuence the Emperor and government into determination to shield the of1. cers of the Baltic squadron
 The unof1icaI explanation of Admiral RoJesteyensky telegraphed from Vi0o Is stignatized by The Morning Post and other papers as apparently that Of lunatie. whose continuance in q position of responsibility is a menace to every vessel that navigates the sea
 The Daily Telegraph, representine . the government view, says:
 There Is no doubt whatever of the governments seriousness. No respNa- sible minister would order a aaa, athwart the path of vessels of a for. eign power without recognising inc re sponsibility of such a grave step: ve, this Is what his majesty's govern ment has done with its eyes wide open" :"
 An equally bellicose tone character. izes the British correspondence dis patches from St. Petersburg, which openly impute the Russian delay to the belief that Great Britain Is deter mined not to risk war and express the conviction that the Russian Govern ment Is determined not to punish inc offending officers.
 Madrid dispatches comment severely upon the attempt of the Russians ar Vigo to defy the Spanish Government by the pretense that their vessels have been damaged and by proceeding to coal from German vessels, and also on Admiral Rojestvensky's alleged expla- nation that firing on an approaching vessel was necessary for the protection of his squadron.
 Lord Rosebery. in sending a check for $500 for the sufferers, describes the North Sea affair as an "unspeakabie outrage"

 Fear yapanese Agents.
 It is rumored that the object of the Spanish government in requesting the Russians to remain the shortest possi- ble time at vigo is to prevent the pos sibility of attack by Japanese agents whose presence in rhe province of Gal icia Is suspected.
 It is learned that three other Rus sian warships have anchored in Arosa Bay. The government has refused them permission to coal in spanish waters

 The authorities have ordered that all fishing boats shall fly the national flag in order to avoid a repetition of the Dogger Bank incident.
 Prince Keretelli. an oficer of the battleship Emperor Alexander HI has been interviewed and gives the fol- lowing explanation of the attack by the Baltic squadron upon the British trawlers off Dogger Bank:
 Eight Torpedo Boats.
 The transport Anatol which was steaming ahead of the squadron was suddenly surrounded by eight torpedo boats and requested assistance, where- upon the battleship division advanced and signaled the unknown vessels to leave or disclose their nationality. The vessels refused to leave and advanced among the Russian battleships.

With General Rennenkampf's Col umn, by courier. via Mukden.--tU tUn- dated )--The critical day of General CerrRross's attack on Tumin Pass was October 10. The Russians divided into three groups. the extreme right being composed of two battalions of sharp shooters in command of Lieutenant IGarintitsky and the same units were in the centre under Lieutenant Micha- ioff. The left was composed of parts of the Yenseoi and Krasnoyarsk regi- ments
 The batteries opened against Eagle Nest rock. commanding the pass. The country fin front of the positions was very broken and the attacking columns of infantry suffered greatly from the shrapnel fire of the Japanese guns.
 The attack began about daylight and about noon the attacking columns reached the hills adjoining Eagle Nest rock. The fiddle column, baked by the steep character of the rock. stopped 900 yards from the top. Up to o'clock the Japanese artillery fire increased. It was then signailed to stop.
 The storming Begins.
 Reserves came up and storming be- gan, the men going forward by rush. es. clambering the slopes by aid of trees and bushes and dragging each other up. As the Russians advanced per feet rain of lead was poured down upon them, and stones which had been placed In position over night were also thrown down. killing many.
 At the same time, the flank columr went forward at double quick in ths face of the murderous volleys, losing many. The scene was one of horror Many batteries went into action sing Ing the national anthem. Instead oi their customary hurrah, the Japanes' tried to confuse the Russians by sing. ing the Russian anthem.
 The right column reached and occu. pied the first lines of trenches nnt the Japanese immediately retired ts the see ond line and cpened murder. Nous fro. Both sides stuck to theii trenches, firing point blank at eaci other. The Japanese once attempted to charge. They rose as one man fl their trench, but dropped back undel whitening fire.
 The fighting continued for tws hours, when the Japanese received TO Inducements and tho Russians wer' forced to retire. The slaughter wal great, not only because of the-rifl' fire, but by reason of a peculiar hant granade which the Japanese threw il large quantities. A high explosiv, caused the bombs to shatter Int thousands of pieces, riddling every thing fin the vicinity in which the! exploded.
 On the left there was much hant to hand fighting and many men wer, clubbed or bayoneted in the melee.

EACH IS ON GUARD.
Kuropatkin and Oyama Watching Each
 Other Like Hawks.

Mukden. Oct. 2l.-The situa- tion is one of great tension for the men on both sides. General Kuropatkin and Field Marshal Oyama are watching each other like hawks.
 It is impossible to tell which will make the first serious move There are occasional exchanges of desultory firing at the outposts. but nothing of great importance has transpired. On Sunday night the Japanese made a feeble att tempt upon Lone Tree Hill. but the attack was not pressed.
 The Russians used several siege guns of great range on Monday. bombarding the Japanese positions near shakhe. The Japanese replied with Shimos shells The Chinese report that the fire destroyed three Japanese field pieces The Japanese have evacuated Shakhe railroad station. Although 1t is re- ported that there is no activity on the Russian left flank little is really known concerning the situation there.
 The state of uncertainty breeds many rumors.
 The Japanese prisoners say the cold weather is causing an increase of ill., ness among their troops. The Tree which gave it's name to Lone Tree HIll has disappeared. It was cut down Monday night for fuel.

PARIS AS A PACIFIER.

French Officials EnueaNOF V ~
 Troubled Waters.
 Paris. Oct, 26. The Foreign Ofhce here is kent constantly advised of the deyeIopments in the Anglo Russian fn- cidents and its influences are being in- formally exerted to calm the agitation and prevent the affair from drifting into a serious international aspect.
 Apart from the admirality's an- nouncemeut that precautionary meas ures had been issued to the fleets, there are practically no signs of anything in the nature of warlike preparations, thus confirming the opinion universal Iy held in all weIl-informed circles here that the pledges given by Emper- or Nicholas and the Russian govern ment will be generally fulfilled and that the crisis will pass away with out serious injuries.
 A telegram from Portsmouth report ed that orders had been received this morning to hurry the equipment of certain ships of the reserve, but this, 1t is understood, was compromised in the admiralhy order already announced and continues to receive high approval from public bodies and the newspapers although the more jingoistic of the lat- ter express the hope that it means that the Russian squadron will not be permitted to go beyond Gibraltar. or if it does the squadron will be fol- lowed.
 Vice-Admiral Lord Beresford's ves- sels. the Channel squadron. are lying conveniently in the shadow of the Rock of Gibraltar. The British cruiser Suf- folk. which was to have left Gibraltar for Malta today was ordered to remain at Gibraltar.
 A telegram from Brest says the transport Kinasgortchakon is still in 1 the outer roads awaiting the squadron. She has 2,50O tons of coal and thirty seamen on board who are to join the l ships of the squadron.
 From Plume. Hungary. comes the announcement of the arrival there of six British warships, while the rest of the British Mediterranean feet is on it's way to Pola, Australia.

GAVE ORDER
 TO FIRE ON THE FISHERMEN

vigo. Spain, Oct. e6.-The arrival of the Russian battleships Emperor Alex ander III. Borodino. orei and Kniaz souvaroff and the transport Anatol. which have anchored in this port, has cause considerable excitement. The commander of the port tmme- diately boarded the Russian flagship and informed Admiral Rojestvensky that the Spanish government could not permit the warships to coal with in the port. Admiral Rojestvensky re- piled that his vessels needed repairs and for that reason he had separated from the remainder of his squadron.
 The commander of the port promised to inform the Spanish government of the Iadmiradss statement and com- municate the governments reply as soon as it was received.
 In spite of this, five German col Hers anchored in port alongside the battleships, whereupon the commander of the port sent an aide de. camp to beg Admiral Rojestvensky not to vio- late Spanish neutrality. and he also ordered the commanding officer of the Spanish cruiser Estramadura to noti- fy the colliers that they must obey the port authorities.
 Promised Not to Coal.
 Eventually, Admiral Rojestvensky promised that he would not coal in spanish waters, at the same time beg ging the commander of the port to obtain the governments permission for each warship to take four hundred tons of coal with which to reach Tangier. Shortly afterwards three colliers sailed for Tangier, but two remained alongside the Russian war ships.
 During the afternoon Admiral Ro- jestvensky. accompanied by the com manders of his battleships. visited the military governor, the French consul and the commander of the port, re- ceivlng the usual -honors.
 As far as can be seen. the crews of the battleships are very uneasy.

London, Oct. 27.-At 8 o'clock this morning there Is no sign as to when Admiral Rojestvensky's report will be made public, but if unofficial reports should turn out to represent the Ad mirars official report, 1t is evident that the Russian officers made an extraor dinary blunder in mistaking trawlers for torpedo boats and fired on phantom foes.
 This astonishing explanation is re- garded here as not fitting we'll witb the state of panic suggested as having prevailed among the officers of the Baltic fleet; and that in that case it Is suggested the Russian Government should ind no difieulty in removing and punishing the officers responsible

 One of those who saw the remains states that he thinks they are Peeler Castel and brother. who live in a re- mote part of the county.

 and He Fired.
 Vigo, Spain, Oct. 2S.-The Associat- ed Press has succeeded in obtaining an interview with Admiral Rojestven- sky. who expressed great regret over the North Sea incident. The Admiral stated that the unfortunate occurrence was purely accidental.
 The weather on the night in ques- ton was rather hazy. About a. m two torpedo boats. which the Russians supposed were Japanese craft, sudden ly appeared between the two divisions of the squadron and seemed to dis charge torpedoes.
 The Russians immediately opened fire.' They saw no fishermen and were not aware that any damage had been done. Evidently. the admiral said. the fishermen had shown no lights.
 The Admiral repeated that he great ly regretted that any injury had been done fishermen. and added that he had no doubt the Russian government would make ample compensation.
