St. Petersburg, April Is, $50 p. M.
There are now only two unchanged
battle ships, the Peresviet and the
Sevastopol, in the harbor at Port Ar
thur, but some Of the damaged vessels
have been repaired, although their
exact number and condition 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
gunboats Vsadnik and Gaydanak, the
gunboats Gremiashchi, Otvashni, Gil
lax and Bonr, the cruisers Djiidpid,
Razhoynik and Zabiaka, and the tor
pedo boat destroyers, whose exact mum
ber is not known.
Altogether ten Russian vessels have
been damaged or lost since the out
break of the war The disaster of
Wednesday ends the nope that the i'll
fated Port Arthur squadron would be
able to become an aggressive factor in
the operations before It is reinforced
by the arrival OF the Baltic fleet. I'm
til then the aim Of the Russians will
be to hold to Port Arthur and con-
serve the remaining ships within tie
protection Of it's guns.

Weekly Trade Review.

New York, April 15.-R. G. Dun E..
Co. Weekly Review of Trade tonaor-
row will say Tardy spring weather
following an unusually severe winter
makes it difficult to restore satisfac-
tory trade conditions, hut it is en-
couraging to find at many points this
unreasonable weather the only cause
of complaint, and there is always
hope that the early losses may be
made up, ct least in large measure,
when thermal conditions become
normal.
In the meantime sales Of dry goods
are restricted and stocks in all posi-
tions from producer to consumer are
larger than is desirable.
Aside from the cotton States, where
business is brisk, the weeks dis
patches indicate that early gains were
maintained, but little further progress
occurred. Labor controversies are
still an adverse factor. Railway earn
ings in the first week Of April were
10 per cent. smaller than last year.
No definite check to progress in the
iron and steel industry is d;scerned,
although it lacks uniformity and in
some departments it is difficult TO md
encouraging signs.
In textile manufacturing there IS
no Improvement. The recent upward
tendency of cotton goods bas given
place to market distinctly favoring
purchases. Failures this week number
225 against 2,2 last year.

OIL MILLS CLOSED FOR SEASON:
Said Business is 0verdoae--About
Twice as Many Mills as There !
is Supply Of Seed.

Columbia, ArriI lS.-The two plants
of the American and Seathern Costop
Oil eonpaaies here, whose conbineH
capacity is about 100 tons Of seed q
day, have closed down for the season,
this being about the usual time TO
close.
Employees of both companies report
an unpyo6taple season on accoant OF
the high price OF seed and the con-
paratiyely low price OF the pIoduct.
They say the business is overdone,
which may be true to the et1ent that
there are many more mills than there
is seed to supply them with. 1t is said
that the two mills here have not run
two-thirds of their capacity the past
season and that this has been an aver.
ge experience Of mills throughout this
and ether States. And yet about Ii
new mills came into TIE held this sea-
son in this State alone, and many
more are spoken OF for the ne1t season.
One of the local mills crushed IL, O00
tons of seed at an average price OF
SI9. l3. The figures from the other
mill could net be obtained yesterday.
The price of seed during the last
three months OF the present season has
been the highest on record. The price
started out in September at IL cents q
bashel, but steadily kept climbing IN
til it was nearly 80 cents before Christ
mas. It is estimated that the price
laid down In the warehouses here has
been 35 cents a bEShe4.

new POINT IN Law OF WhR.
Is Wireless Telegraphy Forbiddsa
to Correspondents.
The Russian Government Notifies tae
United States and Other Powers
that she will Treat War Cores
pondents Using Wireless
Telegraphy as Spies.

Washington, April 15.-The Russian
Government has given notice that
newspaper correspondents using wire
less telegraph will be treated as spies
and shot.
This notice was served on the State
department by Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador, today, and it is
understood that similar communica-
tions were made to all foreign officers.
The communication says: "In a case
in which neutral steamers having on
board correspondents who might CON-
municate war news to the enemy by
means OF perfected apparatus. not
being yet foreseen by existing conven
tions, would be arrested near the coast
of Kuantong, or in the zone of opera
tions of the Russian feet, the CORE
spondents will be hooked on as spies
and the steamers furnished with wi,e-
less telegraph seized as prizes OF
war"
This notice opens up an entirely
new line of treatment of correspond
ents. 1t happens that some of the
leading British newspaper correspond
ents are making free use OF the wire
less 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 to
secure an official determination of the
question as to whether a neutral on
his own ship outside the. territorial
waters of belligerent Power and
without contraband of war abe "d
can be treated as a spy.

RUSSIAN LOSSES HEAVY.

London, April 14.-No actual news
has yet reached London beyond the
Russian kilograms, but dispatches
from Wei Hal Wei induce the confident
belief that a naval engagement oc-
Cured off Port Arthur of a severe
character and that later telegrams
will show that the Russians suffered
severer loss than is yet admitted.
Nothing in the way Of news has
been received here from the Japan
ese side, but a rumor has reached
Rome that Vice Admiral Makaroff's IS
squadron was attacked by the whole
japanese feet, concealed behind the
Miaokaio islands (Miaotao islands?)
and his retreat was cut off and he was
forced to fight against odds with the
result that all bis ships were damaged,
while the Petropavlovsk was sur
rounded by torpedo boats struck by
Eve torpedoes and blown up.
Another rumor is to the effect that
Rear Admiral Molas is among those
killed aboard the Petropavlovsk.
No great attention is paid to these
rumors, but the universal opinion
here is that the official explanations
of the disaster are unsatisfactory.

RUSSIANS INSIST NINE DID IT.

st. Petersburg. April 14.-Rear
Admiral Uriu's statement that Vice
Admiral Togo's fleet was responsible
for the sinking of the battleship Petro-
pavlovsk at Port Arthur is officially
denied here. A member of the general
staff informs the Associated Press
that the advices received do not show
that naval engagement took place
unless the cornering and sinking Of the
torpedo boat destroyer Bezstrashni can
be so denominated.
The destroyer and four consorts were
outside scouting during the night:
The Bezstrashni Jagged behind and
became lost in the mist. When day
broke she tried to creep in along the
coast but was discovered, cut of,
overpowered and sunk, only five of her
crew escaping. The fate of the other
members of the crew is unknown
although it is believed that some of
them have been captured.
That the Petropaylovsk was blown
up by a mine placed at the entrance to
the harbo, to prevent the blocking OF
the channel is the opinion entertained
by the general staff. It is true that
the vessel sank in full view of Vice
Admiral Togo's fleet, which was seen
on the horizon, but her loss was not
caused through the agency of that
feet. There is a disposition, how
ever, to raise controversy as to
whether the explosion occurred inside
or outside the battIeship, similar to
the controversy which followed the
destruction of the United States battle
Ship Maine in Habana harbor. The
fact that many of the wounded, IL
Guiding Grand Duke Cyril, we're badly
burned seemed to support the theory
of an internal explosion.
Grand Duke Boris, who witnessed
the disaster from Golden Hill, III q
telegram to his father, Grand Duke
Vladimir, described how the ship lift
ed, at the same time being enveloped
in fame and smoke, and then turned
turtle and sank in two and halt
minutes.
q q The appearance of. smoke Or steam
and fire was explained to the Assoclat-
ed Press by member Of the general
staff. who said:
THE ship may have touched mine
forward under her Whitehead torpedo
magazine resulting in second explo-
sion, or if she touched the mine amid
ships her boilers may have been eXplod-
ed. Either hypothesis would account
for the appearance OF tire smoke or
steam.

Chefoo, April 14,1 a. MT has
been learned from japanese sources
here that the attack on the Russian
Port Arthur feet of yesterday morning
was planned and put into effect in the
following manner: At daylight the
japanese torpedo boats made demon
stration before the port and at the
same time laid mines across the outeE
entrance to the harbor. They then
retired and joined the main squadron.
The squadron then advanced and as
it drew near the Russian ships were
seen coming out. The battleship
Petropavlovsk struck one of the mines
laid by the japanese torpedo boats and
was destroyed.

ST. PETERSBURG FEELS BLOW.

81. HEIEASSOESG 4 FEELS OAOW.
st. Petersburg. April l3.-The awful
disaster to the battleship Petropav-
lovsk at Port Arthur with the loss Of
almost her entire crew of over 900 men
and the death Of Vice Admiral Maka-
rolf, has been 8 terrible blow. It
would have fallen less heartily il the
ship and the commander in chief Of
the fleet had been lost in battle, but to
be the result of another accident fol-
lowing upon the heels Of a succession
of tragedies of which the Port Arthur
feet has been the victim has created
something like CONSERVATION.
''Reverses we car endure" said a
prominent Russian, .'but to have the
Petropavlovsk meet the fate Of the
Yenesei and the Boyarin is heartbreak-
ing"
Besides, it has jast become known
that the battleship Poltava several
weeks ago had a hole remmed in her
by the battleship Sevastopol while the
latter was manoeuveriug IN the harbor
of Port Arthur.
The day has been one of intense ex-
citement in St. Petersburg. The first
inkling of the catastrophe leaked out
on the receipt of telegram by Grand
Duke Vladimir from his son. Grand
Duke Boris announcing the loss Of
the Petropavlovsk and wounding
OF Grand Duke Cyril, who was first
officer. The Grand Duchess Vladimir
was almost frantic On the receipt Of
the telegram, being convinced that
the message was only precursor Of
worse news as it was signed by Grand
Duke Boris, instead of the aide to
Grand Duke Cyril, Lieut.. Won Kubc.
