PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK
IN SHANGHAI HARBOR
Naval Officers Watching Antics OF
Mandjur, Wondering What Object
Russia Has in the Game.

Naval officers are watching with much
interest the game of hide and seek
which the Russian gunboat, Mandjur,
is playing i'm Shanghai Harbor.
The Russian gunboat IS reported to
have been granted permission by the
Chinese to remain in the harbor on con-
dition that she dismautle her rudder
and draw her fires. But it IS uncertain
how long this permission will continue.
Under the law of nations neutral
port cannot offer refuge to a warship Of
a nation engaged in a war for longer
time than is required TO make tempo
rary repairs and take on sufficient coal
to reach the nearest port controlled
by the country owning the warship.
Outside Shanghai harbor the Japan
csc cruiser Akitsuhima is said to be
waiting for the Russian gunboat. Other
Japanese vessels are also said to be
within easy reach Of Shanghai.
The United States cruiser Wilmington
and number of smaller American boats
are at Shanghai Three additional
cruisers are expected there in short
time. France and Germany are also
said TO be well represented in Shanghai

vices from Yokohama say that arrests
OF supposed spies had become numerous
in Japan and Manchuria before war

been employing spies literally. but have
been keeping sharp watch for enemies
In disguise. The Japanese who at

arrested at Piroshima on January %
and imprisoned.

JAPANESE REPORT SAYS
WARSHIPS ARE SHUT IN

CHEEFOO. China. Feb. pa report
received from a japanese source. today
says that while the ships sunk at Port
Arthur on Tuesday do not block the
channel sufficiently to impede destroyers
and small cruisers. battleships will be
unable TO pass them. To this extent the
ruse was successful.
The recent attacks on Port Arthur by
the japanese are described as being
merely efforts to cover the movements
OF transports.

idea Of reducing the Notifications by an
attack from the sea side of the port
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-02-26

An italian news agency processes to
have learned from Cheefoo that the four
vessels sunk at Port Arthur were Rus
sian. One that foundered in the en-
trance to the harbor blocks the faIrway
against the passage of large ships.
The agency declares that the japanese
entirely succeeded IN their object, and
will return and sink more hulks. The
agency, however, is OF little repute. and
it's statement can. perhaps, be ascribed
to the -Russianism prevalent in
Italy. where the press is usually very
unreliable.
