The Russian Navy.
News from ST. Petersburg states that
the technical department of the min
istry of the navy is working night and
day on the details of the plans for the
new Russian navy.
When the cars naval program be-
comes known, it is declared. it will as
tonish the world, as it far surpasses
any that has been projected since the
QayS of Peter the Great
1t has been practically settled to act
upon he suggestions of the late d
miral Makaroff and altogether abandon
heavy battleships of the Petropavlovsk
type, of which three vessels in all were
built in the government yards, with an
average speed of sixteen knots.
OF these three the Petropavlovsk is
already at the bottom Of the sea,
While the Poltava and the Sevastopol
are reported to be crippled in the har-
Dor Of Port Arthur.
The new battleships will be some
what smaller, but will have a minimum
speed OF IS knots and very heavy arma-
ment, including four 12-inch guns and
IL 8-inch quick-iring guns.
Uniformity Of type, which has proved
to be of such great value to the Japan

possible.

been struggled past the Russian censor,
and is published in the papers here.
The warden Of the prison, known
throughout the district for his butality,
daily had prisoners knouted for mag
mary offences.
AT last the prisoners in despair de-
cided to refuse all nourishment and
thus starved themselves to death.
News Of this reached the authorities
and the czar Immediately ordered the
discharge and punishment Of the war
den.
Furious at this the warden, knowing
that heavy punishment awaited him,
planned a fearful revenge
The last day on which he was in
charge he sent for n squadron of 800
Cossacks and having filled them with
vodka, turned them loose in the Jail.
Maddened by liquor, which acts upon
Cossacks as 1t does upon Indians, they
ran amuck among the inmates Of the
Jail and committed the most atrocious
deeds.
Nearly twenty prisoners had their
arms n legs broken, others had their
Eyes gouged out with lances and bay
onets. and many had their skulls
crushed with the butts Of guns.
The org1e lasted all night. How
many We're killed is not known, but
seventy wounded were placed in the
hospital next day in the most pitiable
condition.
Also they were maltreated by the
warden's hirelings. who dreade the
coming Investigation, and many Of
them tore off their bandages, declaring
that they would rather bleed to death
than lire under these conditions.
