About Fights on the
River
JAPANESE HAVE REVERSED
VIadivostok Fleet Again Sighted Of
Coast Of KOrea-Russian Stocks
are Now Going up-other News
from Seat Of War.

st Petersburg, April 27.-Russia
continues to brag upon the results of.
her experiment with submarine boats
at Port Arthur.
st. Petersburg has discounted the de
pessing effects OF the news that the
Japanese had crossed the Yalu river
by receiving reports Of Japanese re-
verses after the crossing was made.
Russian stocks are said to have been
boosted by these airy methods.
Japan hears that the Vladivostolz
fleet has been once more sighted off
the coast of Korea in the neighbor-
hood OF the japanese settlement at
Monsan.
China is in a state OF terror She
is between the devil and the deep blue
sea. For fear OF allowing contraband
goods to be imported she is stopping
the heel with business. The Ameri-
can minister has filed protest against
the stoppage OF an American cargo.
Russia is hemming the newspaper
men in with very strict regulations.
They can see the fight, but they can't
