RUSSIAN SHIPS LOST.
Story Of Destruction Learned Of in In
tercepted Letters.

A cable from Tokyo says: Certain Rus
sian correspondence which has been inter-
cepted by the Japanese at the blockade Of
Port Arthur gives the Conformation that
some Russian torpedo boat destroyers, have
been sunk by mines outside of Port Arthur,
as well as details of the placing by the
Russians of the mines which effected the
destruction of the japanese battle ship
Hatsuse on May Is.
The sixth japanese squadron. which was
biocka ding PORT Arthur, overhauled and
searched a junk and seized a number Of
letters written by Russian officers. One
letter said that torpedo boat destroyer
had successfully placed series of mines
during the night which preceded the loss
of the Hatsuse and. continuing. tells of
the loss of some Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers. How many is not mentioned, but
1t is indicated that there were at least two.
Commander Honda, who commanded the
flreship Totomi in the successful sealing OF
Port Arthur, arrived here today Honda
and the entire crew of the Totomi were
deafened by their terrible experience. The
explosions and awful cannonade ruptured
the tympanumS of their ears. Commander
Honda may recover the hearing Of one ear,
but he will be permanently deaf in the
other. Honda and his comrades did not
discover their unfortunate condition until
they were leaving the ship. He shouted
his orders to his men, yet he failed to hear
his own voice; and he was forced to make
signs indicating his orders In order sue

JAPs' PLACE WITH POWERS.
Result of Kin-Chou Fight Gives New
Prestige.

A cable from London says: The London
dailies exhaust the vocabulary of admira-
ton for the Japanese. The achievements
at Kin-chou they regard as proving the
absolute military equality of the Japanese
with the best European armies, and as
qualifying Japan to rank as great power.
The Daily Telegraph says editorialiy:
Japan Is no longer a great power by
brevet rank Upon the field of Kin-chou
she has taken her final commission, and
herceforth her intercourse with the west
stands upon basis of reciprocity as well
as equality"
Most of the newspapers regard the fall
of Port Arthur to be now inevitable.
The Standard is surprised that such a
position as Kin-chou could have been
stormed with comparatively SO small loss
of life, and says:
The extraordinary diminution in the in
tensty of slaughter on modern battlefields
Is exercising the minds of many tacticians,
for In 1t may be found the solution of many
problems involved in the maintenance Of
monster armies by Europe''
