Admiral stackelbere Says Jap Merchant

Admiral Staekelberg Says Jap Merchant

st. Petersburg, March 19.-Admiral
Stackelberg, who on account of illness
turned over the command of the
Vladivostok squadron to Captain Reit-
zenstein, has arrived i'll st. Peters
burg He gives an entirely different
version of some of the reports. en-
anating from Japanese sources, regard
ing the events before he left. The
cruise Of his squadron Feb. 8 to Feb.
is in Japanese waters was made by
order of Admiral Stark for its effect
upon the population of northern Jap
an.
Admiral Stackelberg denies that lie
fired upon japanese merchantsmen in
Sanger straits. He says the ships
were captured and that while attempt
ing to convey them to port terrific
blizzard sprang up and, not wishing to
endanger the Russian cruisers after
taking Off the crews and passengers
T ON the merchantmen, one of the
latter, loaded with contraband rice,
was sunk. The other, which was
worthless tramp steamer, was re-
leased to carry TO the Japanese the
story Of the presence of the Russian
warships in those waters for moral
effect. There never was any bonn
bardment Of Hakodate, which is heav-
ly fortified.
The admiral ndds that no cannot nm.
derstand how such stupid story was
credited. He expresses the opinion
that the war will be of long duration,
judging from the extensive japanese
preparations, which were thoroughly
understood at Vladivostok, where war
was expected even earlier tlAn it

CHARGE THAT IS DlscEEp,rED

Hiph Of1icfal Russian.


High Oficial Russian.
st. Petersburg, March IS. The
charges against the Japanese of vio-
lating the rules of civilized warfare
In using explosives forbidden by The
Hague convention find no echo in re-
sponsible circles here. The japanese
are acquitted on that score by high
naval officer who holds very respon-
sible position and who said:
1.-THE accusation against the Jap
anese of using explosives to produce
poisonous gases is based on mis-
conception. They are employing the
same explosives as other armies and
navies. 1t is notorious that the burst
ing of melinite shell between decks
generates fumes from which the men
are liable to asphyxiation, but the Rus
sian shell Is no better and no worse
than that used by the Japanese. We
have not complained in this respect.

senior member of which is Daniel j.
Sully, the operator whose dealings In
and manipulation of the cotton market
have been the sensation of the specu-
lative world for several years, was
announced OH the cotton exchange
Friday. This announcement came at
the close of a long decline in the price
of future contracts.
His profits on his old deals were
known to be enormous and presumably
oil of these were used to bolster his
present deals. After the suspension
was announced Sully locked himself
in his office and declined to give out
any statement. Wild guesses were
made as to the liabilities, but all
agreed that they must be well up in

RUSSIA DOUBTS CHINA.
Powerful Party in the Celestial
Government is Abetting

TROOPS WAIT IN READINESS
Where Admiral Togo's Fleet Gets Coal
and Supplies Puzzles Muscovtte
Naval Experts.

st. Petersburg. March 21.-The gov
ernment's private information is not
completely reassuring as regards Chi
mas sincerity in observing q neutral
attitude. Secret advices indicate that
at least powerful party in the Chi
nese government is abetting the Japan
ese. Although at first reluctant to
credit these reports the Russian au-
thoritles continue to receive evidence
that the Japanese contemplate landing
on Chinese neutral territory, west of
the Lao river, and 1900 men are be-
ing held especially to await develop
ments in that direction.
Where Does Togo Coal?
| Moreover the empOrer's naval ex-
perts, who have been studying care
fully the puzzle rs to where Vice Adj,
miral Togo's fleet is coaling and pro-
visioning, between Its appearance off
Port Arthur. are becoming more and
more convinced that 1t is using as
base some quiet spot on the Chinese
coast. After each disappearance not
n word is heard Of the fleets where
abouts until it reappears. A calcula-'
ton of time and distances shows it is
quite impossible for the fleet to steam
to NagasN or Hiroshtne, take on board
coal and ammunition and come back.
1t is also certain the Japanese war;
ships could not take on coal, much less
heavy projectiles, at sea in the face of
the prevailing rough weather.
Place Is well Concealed.
The idea that they are using Chem
ulpo or some other place on the Korean
coasts for this purpose is rejected, as
It Is believed that If such were the
case the numerous secret correspon-
dents and secret agents of the Rus
slams in Korea would certainly have
reported the fact. So by process OF
| elimination the Russians seem COM
PEELED to arrive at the conclusion that
the vessels Of the Japanese fleet must
be retilling their bunkers in some in
let on the Chinese coast, either on
the gulf of Liao-Tung or the Shan
Tmg peninsula, so far from ports and
inhabited centers that the correspon-
dents are unable to get wind of it.
Jap Battleships Have Been Damaged.
The dwindling number of Japanese
battleships appearing off Port Arthur
J is increasing the conviction that many
of them have had to put back to Japan
for a thorough retitting. A high naval
officer said:
ave probably shall never know
how many of their ships were crippled
or sunk, at least until the war is
over"
The failure of the japanese to rush
their operations evokes agreeable dis
