anese isIands-Captured Merchant
Vessels. One Of Which Mas Sunk
Other Released to Spread News.

St. Petersburg, March 1S.-Admiral
Stackelberg, the Russian commander
of the Vladivostok squadron, relieved
on account of illness, has arrived here.
He says the cruise of his feet early liz
February in Japanese waters was
made under orders of Admiral Stark
for effect on the population of the
northernmost of the Japanese islands.
He says he did not lombard H%okodate,
which is strongly fortified. but cap
tured two Japanese merchant steam
ers, the Sungari and Straits. He did
not fire on them. A storm arose on
his return to the port with the cap
tured vessels. One of the lat'er was
loaded with rice and IA sunk, the
passengers and crews being taken
aboard the warships. Another mel.
chairman was released, so it might
spread the news of the presence of
the Russian fleet. The admiral admits
victory for the Russians to be no easy
task. as the Japanese preparations are
thorough to a point. of perfection. He
says the war will be long.
