der the starboard side of the Petro.
pavlovsk there was an explosion. "
and specifically declares that a mine
exploded under the Pobieda. That the
Russian ships did not run on their
own mines is shown by the failure of
the viceroy to mention anything of
the kind and by the positive state
ment of the port admiralty that Ad-
miral Makaroff was familiar with the
location Of the torpedoes defending
the port. The Russian officers fail to
understand the surprising blunder
caused by the mistake Of the Russian
torpedo boat destroyers in taking the
Japanese torpedo boats for Russian
fotilla, resulting in the loss of the
Strashni.
Prey Upon Jap Commerce.
The admiralty, it is announced, in
tends to fit out two transatlantic
liners purchased from Germany, to-
gether with number of ships of the
volunteer fleet, with rapid-fire guns
and to send them to the Pacific to
prey upon Japanese commerce. The
admiralty believes that by this means
it can prevent the resumption of op-
erations by the Japanese commercial
fleet and strike hard blow against
Japan's hope of maintaining her re-
sources for the prosecution of the
war.
1t is authoritatively said that Rus
STA has been offered, through New
York firm, two 1000 and two 3,O00-ton
cruisers belonging to South Ameri-
can republic, but has declined the Of

Russians Hard Pressed by Spies.
Mukden, April %. - Operations of
the Russians in Manchuria are great
ly hampered by the immense number
of spies. Maj. Gen. Kondratsvitch,
commanding the Ninth East Siberian
rifle brigade, says the Japanese have
taken advantage of the convenient
situation of Niuchwang, which is full
of spies.
I'm the guise of merchants, beggars,
ragpickers and lackeys," says the gen
eral, these spies sniff everywhere.
They have grown pigtails, showing
tnat they nave been preparing for
their work for a long time"
Alters Death Sentence.
Hardin, April %. - Two officers of
the japanese staff, colonel and a
captain, who were arrested by the
railroad guard eighteen miles from
Hardin on April 16, were found guilty
by court-martial and sentenced to be
hanged.
The officers listened quietly to the
sentence of the court, but subsequent
ly asked that their lives be spared.
Gen. Kuropatking confirmed the find
ings of the court, but taking into con-
sideration the fact that the accused
were soldiers, he ordered that they be
shot instead of hanged.

THE CASE OF THE LENA.

Davenport Times. - The German
government did not hesitate when the
Czarevitch and the Novik went into
the German port of Kiao Chou. The
Russian commanders were ordered
either to dismantle their ships and
leave them until the end of the war. or
to depart within twenty-four hours
The Czarevitch was dismantled and
the Novik went to sea- although mani
testify in need Of repairs.
When the Askold put into the Chin
ese port at Shanghai the Chinese au-
thorities did. not act promptly. The
Russian commander claimed that he
had a right to make repairs and that
the twenty-four hour rule did not ap-
ply until his vessel was in condition tc
go to sea. 1t was not until pressure
was brought to bear on the Chinese
government that the rule of nations
was enforced.
Not desiring to act with undue haste
the United States has been careful
neither to offend either belligerent MOI
to permit a violation Of neutrality
The Russian commander, having beer
shown what must be the result accord
Ing to precedents, has asked to be al
lowed to dismantle his ship, and 1t has
been SO ordered by the United States
authorities. Russia is satisfied; ia
pan is pleased, and the obligations OF
neutrality have been discharged
faithfully. The conditions of the Pres
dents proclamation Of neutrality, is
sued at the outbreak Of the war, have
been fulfilled to the letter.
