This correspondent says that report
gained circulation in ST.. Petersburg
that before the bornbardment of Hoko
dati the Russian ,warships encoun-
tered feet of Japanese transports and
sank several of them.
The fear is expressed by several promi-
nent Russian authorities that there is
danger from Nihilistic disturbances.
The Nihilist organizti ons are unusually
active and it may be that Rus sia will
be attacked from within as we'll as
from without. ~ IT,
A large force of Russians have been
hurried to the Balkan frontier as an
uprising of the Balkan states is feared.
Altogether looks as though the
White Bear had his hand full. Japan
is pushing the fight with vigor and
her military and naval tactics, which
in the war with China surprised the
whole civilized world, are proving far
superior to- these of her anita gonist.
Russia is now ready to make terms re-
garding the Korean question but Jap
anese authorities say the dove of peace
has come too late.
The sympathy of the people of the
United States is almost entirely with

longer many Americans will apply
