REAL CAUSE UNKNOWN
RUSSIANS IN DOUBT REGARDING
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
PETROPAVLOVsk.
NINE THEORY GENERALLY BELIEVED
OFFICIAL REPORTS SAY BOTH
HER BOILERS AND MAGA-
ZINES EXPLODED.

st Petersburg, April 16.-Out Of the
mass OF conflicting reports regarding
the sequence of events leading up to
the destruction of the battleship Petro-
paylovsk II is now established that
Vice Admiral Makaroff, early Wednes-
day morning, took out his squadron to
engage weak division of six Japan
csc cruisers, which appeared on the
horizon after the Japanese torpedo
boats, which sank the Bezstrashni, had
been driven off by the Bayan. Par.
uculars of the torpedo boat fight are
stM lacking. The Russian comman-
der-in-chief pursued the Japanese
cruiser division until it was reinforced
by eleven battleships when he retired
into the outer roadstead where he was
drawing up in line of battle when the
disaster to the petropavioysk oc-
Cured. The exact circumstances of
the destruction of the battleship are
not known. Ii is certain that both her
boilers and magazines exploded, but
II is not absolutely sure that she
touched mine. although the weight
OF opinion at the admiralty is that
q Russian and not Japanese mine. a
high official Of the Admiralty said:
Powder Magazine Exploded.
ut is evident a powder magazine
exploded because jet or flame went
up with the steam from the bursting
boilers The magazine could not have
exploded spontaneously. The tem@
perature oil magazine Is too closely
watched and the powder Is stored so
as TO render an explosion scarcely pos
sible. Doubtless a mine caused the
detonation OF the powder and torpedo
magazines. Perhaps the truth will
never be known and the disaster will
take a place with the countless other
mysteries of the sea"
II is absolutely denied that Admiral
Malaroffs ships participated in a
naval engagement.
Although the papers were allowed
to print reports from abroad Of Jap
ancse bombardment of Port Arthur
official knowledge of such a lombard
ment, If il occurred, is not admitted,
The injuries TO the Pobieda are de.
clared TO be slight. The explosion
which injured her took place just at
the water line. The opinion expressed
at the admiralty here is that it was
produced by a spent Whitehead tor
pedo which was floating on the surface
OF the water and which may have been
fred during the torpedo boat fight.
The latest reports are to the effect
that the Japanese feet is still in sight
from Golden hill.

LACKS CONFIRMATION.
Rumor That Japanese Had Blocked
Port Arthur Harbor.

st. Petersburg, April 16.-The naval
staff has no information concerning
the rumor that the Japanese have sue,
ceeded in blocking the entrance of the
harbor Of Port Arthur
Grand Duke Cyril Is being brought
back to Russia by command of the
emperor.
At the Vladimir palace the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press was
Informed of the receipt of reassur-
ing telegram from Liaoyang, where
the grand duke has arrived with his
brother, Boris.
The admiralty authorizes the Asso-
ciated Press to deny Admiral Togo's
claim that the Japanese sank the
Petropavlovsk in a fight off Port Ar
thur. The officials declare positively
that there was no Aval engagement,
excepting the torpeS boat destroyer
fight, either preceding or following the
loss Of the flagship
Russia has formally acceded to
Japan's request, made through the
United States, to allow 600 Japanese
refugees and the Japanese consular
staff of the island of Sakhalin to re-
turn TO Japan. They will be taken off
in a neutral ship, which will be ar
ranged for by the Washington au-
thorities

and the force under the late Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff. From this the Off
cials strongly incline to the conclusion
that the destruction of the Russian
ships and the loss of the admiral re-
suited from naval engagement. How
ever, the only definite official infor-
nation is that battle occurred and
1t is believed that the Japanese SUBJ
marine boats took part in the engage

Inc Russian ships.

Japanese boats then withdrew and the
Japanese squadron appeared on the
horizon, whereupon the Russian
squadron left the roadstead, steer
ing in the
Direction of the Enemy's Ships,
which retired Soon however, the
japanese reappeared with formidable
force of about a score OF warships.

In the course Of the afternoon. The
fresh breeze which was blowing

Seyastopol-in the harbor. but some
OF the damaged vessels have been re-
paired.

KOREAN PALACE IN RUINS
REBELLiOUS ELEMENT BELIEVED
TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ITS DESTRUCTION.

Paris, April ia cable report re-
ceived at the foreign office mere says
that the imperial palace at Seoul, Ko-
rea, was completely destroyed by fire
during the night. The fire began in
the evening and lasted throughout the
night. Only the ruins of the palace
remain. The emperor and his suite
succeeded in escaping TO nearby
refuge.
The report does not mention any
loss of life, nor does ii give the cause
OF the fire, but the recent political un-
rest in the Korean capital leads to
fears that the destruction OF the pal
ace was the work OF the rebellious
element
