deity Badly Damaged.

Hoquiam, March 24.-The recent
storms have destroyed all the false
work on the government jetty at the
month of Gray's harbor. For the last
two winters good deal of damage has
been done, but recently the destruction
has been of a more serious nature.
There is still mile of the jetty to be
finished If this is done new false
work will have to be put in. The to-
tai loss to the government will be
about 300, 900.

THE LAPS DID

St. Petersburg, April 3O.-The fol- lowing telegram from V;ceroy Alexielf under date of April 90, has been re- ceived by the emperor: The special commission appointed to inquire i:,to the cause of the sinking of the battle ship Petropavlovsk has established be- yond a doubt the fact that the battle ship struck a. mine laid by the enemy within the radius of the customary evolutions of our fleet on occasions of it's sorties in the outer roadstead to get at the enemy.
 The explosion of this mine under the boat, the compartments and bunk CTS of the Petropavlovsk resulted. ac- cording to the view of the committee of experts, n'which share, in a series Of explosions through the detonafion of pyroxylin and twelve-inch shells in the. ships magazine and in the expIosioi, of the powder stores as well as of the cylindrical boilers. These several ex- plosions were observed in two minutes. which elapsed before the battleship was wrapped in sheet of flame and disappeared beneath tha sea

 On the following day the Japanese endeavored to throw bridges across the eastern arm of the Yalu, opposite Tu- ren and Siaopoussikhe Toward three o'clock in the afternoon they occupied the island of Somilinda and spent the night of April 26th on an island north Of Sandaku. The Japanese who num- 5ered 500 were received by the first of our light cavalry, who being numeri- cally inferior took boats and crossed to the right bank whence they kept I'D lively fire, occupying a narrow path along the bank. sheltered by a shan ascent.
 Our light cavalry lost the chief of the detachment. Lieut.. Somenoff and eighteen men wounded, but their se- were fire at short range against the Japanese in close formation must have inflicted considerable losses. At 3:3O a. m., April 26, by their firing on the island opposite Turen Cheng, our guns destroyed the bridge across the eastern branch of the Yalu toward the island of Somilinda, forcing the Japanese to continue their passage of the river by pontoons south of Wiju.
 Toward midday a detachment of Japanese with battery of artillery be- gan march upon Turen Cheng, but meeting with the fire of our artillery they retired in disorder and confusion towards the place of their passage. The Japanese battery did not have time even to come into action. A g o'clock in the evening of April 27th. some three battalions of Japanese crossed the Yalu at the village of Matoutseo over the eastern branch of the river. The night of April 27-2S passed quietly On the morning of April 2Sth. our scouts re- ported that the Japanese had occupied an island opposite Sandakou, having screened their advance posts on the left bank of the river.

 The increase in the loan item was not better than expected in view of the weeks issue of notes. Further issues are expected and the placing of the S37 ,000,0 New York city loan was ex- pected to affect the loan item still fur ther. Also it is generally believed that the outgo of goll up to this time, ex- cept the Morgan shipment that went to- day, is for other purposes than the Pan- anna canal payment, the principal DOT tion of which, therefore, remains to be provided for. Details of the operation are still somewhat obscure to the Wall street mind, especially the manner and actual withdrawal of the government deposits from the banks and gold from the treasury and their immediate lodg- ment."
