JAPANESE REPORTS OF
THE RECENT FIGHTING

TOXIC, Feb. 10.-The destruction of the
Russian cruiser Variag and the gunboat
Koreitz at Chemulpo on Tuesday is off,
cially confirmed but details are lacking.
Admiral Uniu, commanding the japanese
squadron, sent a cablegram TO the Navy
Department saying that the two Russian
vessels weighed anchor at noon, steamed
down the bay and encountered the Japa-
nese fieet while rounding an island nine
first opened fire. but the exchange lasted
thirty-four minutes. The Russian ships
withdrew to Chemulpo The Koreitz ex-
how the Variag was destroyed. The loss
of life and the effect of the shells on the
Russians are unknown. 1t Is possible that
the Russian crews aided In the destruction
of their vessels to avoid capture and an
Inhalation. The japanese did not lose a
man and their ships were not injured. The
names of the Japanese ships are withheld
for strategical reasons. The Russian crews,
il is reported, surrendered to the Japanese
at Chemulpo. Japan is elated by its success
In the engagement.
1t is reported that two Russian battle
ships and one cruiser were destroyed dur
ing the torpedo attack at Port Arthur
Monday night. The Navy Department does
not confirm the report that the Japanese
fleet is still off Port Arthur. Advices of
a general naval engagement are hourly
expected. The success of Japan on the sea
would carry enormous advantage and
practically decide the war. On paper the
fleets are almost equal though the Jap
aneSe are confident that their personnel is
superior. They say that drawn battle
would be really a japanese victory on &C
count OF Russia's lack of facilities to dock
and repair her large craft.

been appointed to the supreme command
of the Russian land and sea forces in the

Russian Black sea fleet, has left quietly for

GERS in ST. Petersburg and Kronstadt have
been ordered TO go East promptly without
making farewell calls.
Students in uniform and bareheaded this

They were followed by several thousands

SECRETARY HAYS MOVE
HAS AROUSED INTEREST
Some of the European Powers in
Favor of the Naturalization
Of China.
CASSINI AND TAKA1IRA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE move made
by Secretary Hay in connection with the
proposed naturalization Of China has
aroused the greatest interest in diplomatic
circles here, and in consequence. this being
the regular weekly diplomatic day, many
more than the usual number of ambassa-
doris and ministers called at the State De-
partment. 1t is understood that while. as a
matter of courtesy, the representatives here
OF the powers signatory to the Peking
treaty were informed by Secretary Hay Of
the nature of his proposition. yet this was
only for their information. The secretary
is negotiating directly with the European
foreign offices on this subject through the
resident ambassadors and ministers. 1t was
stated to-day that some but not all of the
countries addressed him replies. and these
replies were generally favorable and salts
factory. AS some doubt was expressed in
certain quarters to whether ia
pan would consent to be bound in the
fashion proposed, 1t can be stated that
such information as the State Department
has on the subject is to the effect that
Japan would welcome an international
agreement for naturalization. An intima-
ton has been thrown out that one reason
for this apparent sacrifice by Japan of the
prospective fruits of victory, If she sue
ceeds in her campaign, is fear that some
of the great neutral powers may grow
covetous OF more Chinese soil and seize
the opportunity when the belliserents are
exhausted 20 extend their Chinese holdings.
Having in mind her own bitter experiences
as the outcome OF the Chino-Japanese war
It is said that Japan would rather forego
the appropriation by herself OF Chinese
by other powers which had not been 10

BALTIC SQUADRON
ATTEMPTS TO GET AWAY

LONDON, Feb. Pin a dispatch from
Copenhagen a correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: The Russian Baltic squadron
of fifteen warships passed through Danish
waters to-day en- ruOte for the far East
around Cape Skagen, but as fierce storm
was raging in the North sea the Russian
admiral ordered the squadron through the
Kaiser wilhelm canal
LONDON, Feb. 11-At the Japanese lega-
ton tonight great Importance was at
tached to the report that the Russian
Baltic squadron is going to the far East.
1t was explained that even were the
port true the fleet would not reach the
scene of operations under six weeks, by
which time the situation might have
changed materially. In any case, it was
said, the Japanese navy would be quite
ready TO meet the ships. 1t was also
pointed out at the legation that since Great
Britain has declared her neutrality, and
as most of the coaling ports east of Suez
are British, the Russian men-of-war will
experience great difficulties in coaling or
be hindered by the necessity of having
Golfers accompany them.
BERLIN, Feb. lit is learned here to-
night that the request Of Russia for per-
mission to send warships thro gin the Kiel
canal has not yet been considered by the
Foreign Office. Confidence was expressed
at the Japanese legation that Germany
would not grant this permission before in
forming the legation.

NO RESPONSE YET
MADE BY RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. u.-Secretary
Hays note to the powers has attracted
much attention in diplomatic circles here.
Any movement having for it's purpose the
limiting of the scene of hostilities is re-
ceived with sympathy. but in certain quar-
tiers the practicability of the action sug-
gested is questioned. A prominent diplomat
expressed surprise to-day that the preser-
walton of Korea was not included in the
note.
: The wishes of the United States have
been communicated TO the Russian govern
ment and presumably also TO Japan. At
the Foreign Office the Associated Press
learned this afternoon that no response
had been made and it was considered ex-
tremely doubtful whether Russia felt her
self in position TO make any declarations
now. as these might hamper her military
operations. The question was said 10 be
one for the military authorities to decide
and the representations OF the United
States, which are understood to be couched
in the most courteous terms, probably
will be referred TO Viceroy Alexieff. News
papers here do not fully understand the
purport OF the note and regard IL as an
attempt at mediation, the bare suggestion
of which, while the country is snarting
under the sting OF defeat. creates irrita-
ton.
The prompt declaration OF the neutrality
of the United States, although expected as
a matter of course. has made a good i'm
preston here. The bitterness against Great
Britain. already great during the negotia
tons between Russia ana Japan, Is assum-
ing most alarming proportions. The sup
position that Great Britain evacuated Wei
Hai-Wei 10 give Japan base whence TO
attack has called out the deepest indigna-
ton which has been still further infiamed
by the publication in Great Britain OF
blue book on Thibet. containing the often
sive language OF Lord Lansdowne. Even in
less stirring times this would have caused
a public sensation.
