 iUr1u, who graduated rom Annapolis in 1882, fourteenth in his class, com handed the Japanese squadron which sank the Variag off Chemulpo. He has many friends in America. His wife graduated at Vassar. He commanded the Naniwakan during the war with China, sank the transport Kowshing and behaved with great gallantry at the battle of the Yalu. Captain Vlad imir Behr, who was in command of the Variag when she sailed from Phlladel- phia fresh from the workshops of the Cramps, is probably the gallant cap- tain who. according to dispatch from Chemulpo, blew up his ship rather than let her fall into the hands of the victo- rious Japanese. Russia has in the Black sea very fine squadron, but by existing treaties this fleet cannot pass through the Dardanelles. Tn the Bal tic fleet, on the other hand, there are at least four battleships, but they are Of a somewhat obsolete type.

 American Minister Confirms occupa- ..' tion of Seoul. .tt
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Two dis patches have been received by the state department from Minister Allen at Seoul, in the second of which he re- ports that 2,50O Japanese troops are in Seoul. @.* ~
 The minister in his first dispatch re- ports the arrival of twenty-one Jap anese naval vessels at Chemulpo on the afternoon of the 9th. Two Russian were in Chemulpo harbor and attempt ed to prevent the landing of Japanese forces, but with no success. The for eign naval vessels, the minister says, were generally leaving the harbor. There was report that the Japanese naval vessels had captured Russian transports off Makpo on the 9th.
 The second dispatch says: "A run ming naval engagement took place in Chemulpo harbor, beginning about noon. The Variag and the Korietz again attempted to escape, but failed. The Variag was injured On their re- turn the Japanese naval vessels an nounced officially that they would at tack the place at o'clock p. m. At the latter hour the Korietz blew up and sank. She was slow vessel, which made it difficult for her to es- cape The Japanese naval vessels at tackled the Variagi from the outside harbor until she sank. Twenty five hundred Japanese troops are in Seoul"

 LONDON, Feb. 12.-The St. Peters burg correspondent of Reuters Tele- gram company cables that the naval headquarters staff there announces that in the fight at Port Arthur six Japa- nese ships were slightly damaged, and 50 Japanese were killed and 15O wound ed.
 A dispatch from Nagasaki says:
 There has been renewed attack on Port Arthur. The Japanese cap tured seven Russian ships and chased others.
 "There have been disturbances at Port Arthur in which number of Japanese civilians were killed or i'm prisoned .....
 "A Chinese mob has destroyed the telegraph line around NewchNang.v
 Dispat tches received here say that in an engagement off Port Arthur the Russian fleet was destroyed, four bat tleships and three cruisers being sunk. Two Japanese warships were dam aged. The Japanese are said to have got between the Russians and the har bor entrance.
 It is presumed that tnis naval en- gagement followed the unsuccessful attempt made by the Japanese to land troops in the bays adjacent to Port AT,
