THE FATED TRANSPORT.
REPORT OF THE SINKING OF
KINSHIU MARU.
The japanese Soldiers Shot Them
selves Rather Than Surrender
to the Enemy-Some Escaped
in Small Boats.

Vladivostock, April 90. About
II o'clock on the night of April %,
when the Russian squadron was
twelve miles off Pladsin Bay Corea,
large japanese transport, the Kin
shiu Maru, was overhauled. Her
commander mistook the Russian
ships for a japanese squadron and
signalled t'I am bringing you coal. :"
The Russian commander promptly
signalled in reply: "Stop instantly"
The crew of the transport then recog-
nized their mistake and began to
lower boats and steam pinnaces with
the greatest haste and endeavored to
escape, but the Russian steam cutters
captured them all.
It is learned that the ninth COM
pany of the thirty y-seventh regiment
was on board the Kinshiu Maru.
They were returning from Gensan
where they had been doing scouting
duty, when they met three war5hips
and two torpedo boats off Singpo.
The Russians fred a blank shot
across the Transports bows and sub
sequently ordered her captain and
other officers to board one of the
cruisers. They did SO and did not
return. The Russians subsequently,
gave the crew of the Kinshiu Maru
an hour to surrender. The soldiers
remained below under orders. AT
about half past one O'Clock the Rus
slams discharged torpedo at the
transport and the vessels hull was
pierced by the explosion that fol-
followed. The soldiers then rushed
on deck and discharged several rapid
volleys. The Russians returned the
the fire with great effect. The COM
manding officer of the japanese and
many of the men in full uniform shot
themselves in view of the enemy
rather than surrender. Another tor
pedo caused the boilers of the Kin
shiu Maru to explode and she sank
with all on board. Some of them
rose to the surface and escaped in
small boats. Most Of the non-cOm-
batants on board were captured. All
the soldiers who did not escape died
at their posts. None of them were
captured.

JAPANESE VICTORIOUS,
AFTER FIVE DAYS OF FU~
RIOUS FIGHTING
On the Yalu River, the Japanese
Drive the Russians From
Their Positions. Heavy
Losses on Both Sides.

Toxic, May 2. After five days Of
fighting, largely with artillery, the
first japanese army, under General
Kuroki, has forced a crossing of the
Yalu river, and Sunday, with a gall
liant infantry charge covering a front
Of four miles it drove the Russians
from Chin-tien-Cheng and the heights
on the right bank of the Tho, or
Aida river, which enters the YaIu
from the north almost opposite VII
ju. The japanese turned the left
flank OF the Russian position, and in
the battle of Sunday they swept
away the new front interposed by
the Russians to check their onward
movement.
The present position of the Jap
anese is a dominating one, and they
may force the abandonment of the
defenses erected by the Russians at
Antung and other points lower down
the river.
A report from General Kuroki,
covering Sundays fighting, says:
EEThe Russians made two stands
The enemy's strength included all
Of the third division, two regiments
Of the sixth division, and one cav
airy brigade, about forty quick-firiag
guns and eight machine guns, We@

of April 26, with all on board, with
the exception Of II officers, 20 sol
diers, 65 of the crew and 85 coolie
carriers. The others, who refused
to surrender, were sent to the bottom
with the ship.
The official dispatch Of Rear Ad-
miral Yeszen to the Emperor is as
follows:
"During the night of April 26 two
Russian torpedo boats met at sea the
japanese military transport Kin
shiu-Maru, of 1000 tons, laden with
rice and other military stores and
about ], 800 tons of coal. The trans
port was armed with four Hotchkiss
guns of At millimetres. The Rus
SLAMS captured on board seventeen
officers, twenty soldiers, eighty-five
military carriers or coolies and sixty
five of the crew, who surrendered.
The remainder of the men who were
to form landing party and who
&aere Seft without officers obstinately
refused TO surrender or go on board
a Russian cruiser. Furthermore,
they offered armed resistance to the
Russians. In the end they were
sent to the bottom with the trans
port"
Rear Admiral Yeszen's full report
says that 200 men went down with
the ship.
The satisfaction, Of the people of
ST. Petersburg at the exploits Of the
Vladlvostock squadron is tempered
with admiration for the bravery Of
the Japanese soldiers who were on
board the sunken transport Kinshiu-
Maru and who preferred to drown
rather than surrender.

sides the sinking of the japanese

Re APPOINTMENT Of CRUN.
ACTS IN ALL
HASTE IN THE MATTER.
Plays For the United Support of the
Negro Vote in the Coming Elec-
tion-The Presidents
Statement.


Members of Congress hardly had
time to leave the capital after ad-
.journment this afternoon before the
president issued a recess appoint
ment to DR.. w. d. Crum, colored, to
be collector of customs at Charleston,
S. G. The opportunity to make a
play for the united support of the
negro vote in the coming election
was the occasion of the presidents
haste, and to make sure that there
could be no mistake as to his motives
Mr.. Roosevelt issued a personally
prepared statement from the White
House, fully explaining his action.
The president in his statement dis
closes his real reason for threatening
to assemble Congress in special ses-
sion for failure to confirm the Charles
ton negro's appointment. 1t deveI-
opes that the administration has de-
cided that Crum can not draw any
salary until he is confirmed. Mr..
Roosevelt's solicitude for his friend,
DIR. Crum, it appears, was due to the
fact that he might possibly run short
of pocket change between now and
December. Such an awful possibil-
ity, resulting in threat to convene
Congress in extra session, has, ac-
cordlng to the president, been hap
PLY avoided, as the result of tenn
porary arrangement brought about
by Mr.. Roosevelt himself for tiding
over the financial stringency that ap-
parentIy threatens DIR. Crum. Wheth-
er the president is providing DIR.
Crum with 'ample funds'' to meet
the situation or whether these
''funds" will come from Andrew
Carnegie's two millions, which the
philanthropist says he will give to
elect Mr.. Roosevelt, is not disclosed.
But hear the president himself. Here
is his statement, issued in typewrit-
ten form from the White House:
"The president has to-day directed
the re-appointment of DIR. Crum as
collector of customs at Charles. on.
The president has received positive
assurance that the Senate will take
up DR.. Crum's case Immediately On
recOnVening next session. and that it
will be finally disposed of. Until he
is confirmed DR.. Crum can not draw
any salary, but it is said that friends
of his have arranged to see that he is
provided with ample funds. AS soon
as he is confirmed, Of course, the
government will pay him all back
salary"
Senator Allison, chairman of the
committee on the order of business
in the Senate, issued public state
ment to-day regarding the Crum
case, which, it is understood, was
prepared by the presidents direc-
ton. The statement is as follows:
"The committee on order of busi-
ness at the meeting to-day decided
that if the nomination of Crum is
again sent to the Senate it will be
taken up at the opening of the next
session of Congress and made the or
der of business until disposed of, the
minority senators having given no
tice that IFS consideration at this ses-
sion would require II debate of at
least two weeks. This action was
taken because it was impossible to
complete tie consideration of the
case atthiS session.

Wilmington, April 29.-While
playing on the ends of the crossties
and unconscious of any danger, the
two-year-old son of J. w. Winders,
of Castle Haynes, nine miles from
Wilmington, was struck by an extra
express train on the Atlantic Coast
Line, which left here at $50 O'Clock
this morning. The end of the pilot
struck the child in the forehead and
inflicted two terrible gashes which
will likely prove fatal. The train
was running about twenty miles an
hour when Engineer Wilcox first
saw the little tot only a few yards
ahead. 1t was then impossible to
stop.
