TOXIC HEARS OF VICTORY.
Gallant Brown Men Regret the Death
of the Brave Makaroff.

TOXIC, April 14.-A brief report from
Admiral Uriu of Wednesdays fighting
off Port Arthur reached the Navy De-
partment this afternoon. 1t says Vice
Admiral Togo's fleet attacked Port Ar
thur in the morning and succeeded in
sinking a battleship of the Petropav-
lovsk class and one torpedo-boat de-
stroyer. The Japanese sustained no
losses. One Japanese was wounded.
The news was received with intense
satisfaction, but there was a note of
regret in the comment upon the death
of Admiral Makaroff, for the Russian
admiral commanded the respect of his
opponents. The Japanese admired the
manner in which he rehabilitated the
fleet after the first attacks upon Port
Arthur and the splendid fight he was
making against odds.
Admiral Togo, it is surmised while
maneuvering his squadrons of cruisers
opposite the entrance of the harbor for
the purpose of attracting Makaroff to
venture out dispatched torpedo-bo boats
forward for a considerable distance on
both fianks to cut off the Russians re-
treat. 1t is supposed that the advance
of the torDedo-boats was not observed
by Marakoff's ships, which were intent
on the engagement with Togo's squad
ron, until so late that it was impossi-
bic that all the Russian fleet could re-
gain the harbor. Makaroffs S reputation
for courage is taken to warrant the
opinion that he interposed his heavily
armored flagship to protect the retreat
ing vessels and thus saved the squad
ron at the cost of his own ship and
life, as well as. the lives of nearly all
on board.

GERMANY NOT NEUTRAL.
Herr BebeI Refers to Sale of Auxiliary
Cruisers to Russia.

BERLIN, April 14.-In the Reich
stag to-day Herr Bebel. the Socialist
leader, declared the Socialists did not
object to Chancellor Won Bulow's
declaration of neutrality and the To-
calization of the war in the Far East,
but Germany's neutrality was not
above doubt. He referred to the Ham
burg-American Steamship Company's
sale of the steamship Fuerst Bismarck
to a Russian company and asked
whether the Foreign Office permitted
the sale, as he assumed was the case,
since the directors of the company
were cautious men, who would not
conjure UP conflict with the German
Government.
The steamship was an auxiliary
cruiser of the German navy at the
time of the outbreak of the war, hence
her sale was all the more astonishing
Herr Bebel added that it was assert
ed also that the German steamship
Kaiser Friedrich had been sold to Rus
sia- Such sales, however, could only.
accomplish indirectly the reinforcement
of the Russian navy.
We" said Herr Bebel, must ener-
getically protest against such a pro-
ceeding. The world is filed with tin
der material. One spark can set the
world ablaze. I therefore ask the
Chancellor what he thinks of these
sales and the resulting damage to ia
pan and the advantage to Russia"

SUICIDE FOLLOWS BLUNDER.
Russian Officer Gives His Life for
Having Disobcyed Orders.


Having Disobcyed Orders.
formed gentleman coming directly from
ST. Petersburg and passing through
here to-day told me a very curious
and interesting piece OF news which
was told to him by a highly placed
artillery officer in the Russian capital
as being much talked of and causing
lively sensation in official circles.
1t appears that when matters began
to look serious, toward autumn of last
year it was discovered that, while well
supplied in other respects, the Russian
army was particularly short on light
mounted artillery and it was neces-
sary to supply the defect forthwith.
AS it was known here that the French
army not long ago adopted new light
artillery field gun, Russia's ally was
applied to an6 volunteered to supply
seven batteries. These were duly de-
livered at ST. Petersburg to General
Altvater, who, in the absence of Grand
Duke Michael, who was invalided at
Cannes, was acting commander in chief
of artillery. This officer. like nearly
everybody else there, was convinced
that war with the Japanese was out
of the question, and, artillery of the
kind sent by the French being badly
needed by the army occupying the Pol
ish frontier, it was sent thither.
On Saturday last an urgent telegram
was received from Kuropatkin, asking
where the light artillery batteries were,
upon the good services of which he had
built high expectations in aiding him
to win the campaign.
According to the story, General Alt
water was summoned to the presence
of the Emperor and asked whether the
guns had been sent as stated. The un-
fortunate officer, after a painful scene,
acknowledged that he had disobeyed
orders.
1t is stated to-day that General Ait
water is dead. He is supposed to have
committed suicide. Meanwhile instruc-
tions had been flashed to the Polish
frontier to have the seven batteries
sent with the utmost haste to the seat
of war

ST. PETERSBURG, April 14.-In an
interview published in the Russ, Ad-
miral Rojestvensky chief of the naval
staff, says the Baltic fleet will not be
sent to the Far East, as it must be
ready for contingencies in home waters.
He said it was time the Russian fleet
in the Far East should adopt aggreS-
sive measures
Such day of mourning as to-day
has not been known since the war
began.
Black-rimmed obituary notices of
Makaroff appeared in all the news
papers. Up to late this afternoon no
details had been published on the
losses, so anxiety remained at its
height. Late last evening l telegraphed
to you that a report, said to come from
a high source was to the effect that a
naval battle had taken place, the Petro-
pavlovsk being torpedoed and other
ships damaged.
The cold. curt official dispatch seemed
to give an absolute denial to such an
idea, yet among the more intelligent
classes find the same suggestion more
than ever to-day prevailing that there
was a great deal more behind the
scenes than announced and that the
truth has not been heard Yet, appar-
entity accepting the view that other
ships have been DANA ged. the Birjavaia
says there is still some of the fleet
left and the triumph OF the Japanese
is only temporary, while the Viedimosti

guns made them topheavy.
After the official bulletins had been
issued this afternoon there was talk
of the possibility of the destruction of
the Petropavlovsk having been caused
by a submarine boat, but this received
little consideration in official circles.
The naval reserves to-day answered
the Emperor's summons for their mo-
bilization One thousand and sixty
nine appeared at the naval depots.
Ten per cent of these were found to
be physically unfit and the remainder
were distributed to the Baltic fleet.

RERLIN. April 14.-To-night ii was
stated on good authority that the Car
will leave for the seat OF war, out
nothing is known of any such inten-
ton at the German Foreign Office.
The catastrophe to the Petropavlovsk
has created a tremendous sensation
here and full details are eagerly await
ed. The Lokal Anzeiger's Paris cor
respondent sends the Herald dis
patch that the PetropavIovsk was tor
pedoed, but the other journals still
stick TO the mine theory.
Able experts are beginning to be OF
the opinion that floating mines are an
unsatisfactory means of defense. The
present war, has shown on two occa-
sions that they may be equally danger
Gus to both belligerents.
A we'll known naval critic, Count
Redenglow, in this evenings Tageblatt
says:
Though it has yet to be determined
whether the floating mine was Rus
sia's or Japans. the probability is that
it was one set by the defenders which
the currents or the pressure OF melt
ing ice had driven into the fairway-
The loss to the Russian fleet is consid-
erable, but almost Insignificant in COM
parison with that Occas1cned Dy the
death of Admiral Makaroff, who, In ms
brief command, had already infused
new life into the forces he led.
A Vienna correspondent OF German
agency has interviewed the japanese
and Chinese Ministers in that capital
and obtained from them declaration
that all reports as to an understand
ing between their respective countries
for acting in concert against the Rus
slams are unfounded. The Chinese
forces on the frontier are merely IN
observation. The Chinese Minister fur
ther stated that foreign Intervention
between Russia and japan was not
improbable and that the hostilities
thereby might be brought to a close
sooner than is generally believed All
that was required of Russia was that
she ren0unce all claims to Korea, and
of Japan that she recognize Russian
sovereignty in Manchuria.
