SUBMARINE MINES ADRIFT.
Losses in the East Discussed by Naval
Officers.

Naval officers here are talking a great
deal about the recent heavy losses of navai
vessels through the explosions OF mines
near Port Arthur, and it is suggested that
the subject of regulating the use OF such
mines by International agreement will come
up at the next meeting of the naval general
board for consideration. The proposition
is not based on any sentimental regard for
either Japan or Russia, for both nations
have suffered severely in their navies from
mines. The fact is that the movers in this
matter are looking to the protection OF the
vessels of neutral navies and merchant
ships rather than the vessels of belligerentS.
Recent adviceS are to the erect that I'M
der the influence of the tremendous tide
that GIBBS and flows In the Gulf of Pechili
submarine mines cannot safely be anchored
except in very shallow water. They are
torn away from their moorings and drift off
with the tide many miles distant, consti-
tuting terrible menace to neutral shipping
entirely outside the war zone. Some mines
are reported to have been found forty miles
away from Port Arthur, and the official re-
ten miles away from shore, three times ex-
ceedng the limits of the Russian jurisdic-
ton, when she was blown up.
There is also reason to believe that the
great Russian battle ship Petropavliosk
was sunk by Japanese mine placed In the
open sea- the action involving grave doubt
as to the international law principle touch
ing the rights of neutrals on the high seas.
Our own engineer officers, charged with
the placing Of mines in harbors, have al
ways been particularly careful to make
them secure, and have even gone to the ex-
tent Of refraining entirely from placing
mines in time of war in certain deep har-
bors where the tidal currents run so swift
Iy as to make it doubtful whether they
would not break away from their moorings.
It is believed in naval circles that this mat
ter will ultimately be brought to the at
tention of The Hague tribunal, In order
that 1t may make an addition to the elab-
crate set of rules of way which 1t has laid
down for the guidance of civilized nations.

The Capture of Booth.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
My attention has been called to the ar
ticle published in your edition of May Is by
John H. Benton, challenging Mr.. John E..
Hooyer's account, which appeared in your
paper recently, relative to the Pursuit and
Capture of John Wilkes Booth the assas-
sin of President Abraham Lincoln, as ac-
conplished by my father, Lieut.. Edward
p. Doherty.
1t is a subject that has ceased to disturb
my equanimity, since 1t is worn threadbare
through controversy. having been revived
repeatedly at the instigation Of various per-
sons, from jealous motives. ever since its
happening, and owing to the fact that 1
have in course of preparation detailed ac-
count of the Pursuit and Capture or
Booth" part of which was written and
copyrighted by my father some time prior
to his death, and 1t being my intention to
publish the same ere long. 1 did not person
ally come forth to protest forcibly against
the recent claims of E. ]. Conger as L
might have done, but permitted my cousin,
Mr.. Hoover, to publish a vague outline or
the facts. mentioning Mr.. John Hays
abraham Lincoln" published In the Cen
fury Magazine of January, 1880, as merely
an instance of authenticity
I do not care to give to the public at
present a superficial knowledge of the
facts, but In the above mentioned article
will furnish substantial and conclusive
proof of my statements, ana IN such
manner that there cannot remain the
slightest reasonable doubt as to who is en-
titled to the credit.
To your correspondent, John H. Benton,
extend my sincere gratitude for any en-
lightenment he may consider he has fur
nished but newspaper reports are so I'M
reliable that I must decline to accept their
version as authentic, especially when 1
have in my possession such indisputable
and absolute proofs as a copy of Lieut..
Doherty's order to Capt. Wilson of the
steamer John S. Ide which was the only
written instruction issued during the march.
