Dispatch Boat Miyako Destroyed by
Mine


Mine.
TOKIO-The Japanese dispatch eoat
Miyako was destroyed in Kerr bay by
striking submerged mine. Eight
casualties are reported.
The Miyako was lost while assist
ing in the operations of clearing the
Russian mines from Kerr bay, north
east of Talienwan bay, on which Port
Dalny is situated. Admiral Kataoka,
commander of the third squadron, re-
turned there Sunday with a detach
ment OF his squadron, protecting two
flotllas of torpedo boats which had
ben detailed to complete sweeping the
bar or by the removal of the mines.
Five mines were discovered and eX-
ploded and the work was being sus-
pended for the day when the Miyako
struck an undiscovered mine, which
exploded with tremendous force under
its stern on the port side and inflicted
immense Damage. The Miyako sunk
in twenty-five minutes. Two sailors
were killed and twenty-five men were
wounded. The rest of the crew were
rescued.
The news of the loss of the Miyako
has been sorrowfully received in To
| kio. The dangerous character of the
work in which the Miyako was en-
gagged is generally appreciated. but it
was thought that the loss of torpedo
boat No. 4S under similar circum-
stances last Thursday would serve as
warning TO those engaged in the
work to exercise the greatest care.
Admiral Kataoka reports that the
Russians withdrew from Robinson
Won't, northeast Of Kerr bay, which
adioins Talienwan bay, May II, but
they erected temporary fort on a
| height northeast of Taku mountain,
where they mounted six guns and
constructed protecting trenches. The
vessels of Admiral Kataokas squad
ron shelled the Russians throughout
Sunday. but the latter stubbornly re-
tanned their position.
The Japanese fiotillas, while sweep
ing the bay, were exposed to the Rus
sian fire all day, but continued their
work uninjured

bay while removing Russian mines

with Russia. The Miyako was one OF
the warships which took part in the op'
erations at Kerr bay, Talinwan bay
and Blackney Cor Deep bay) the day

and ten 1.S-inch guns and four torpedo

Sub Rosa"

The phrase under the rose" imply
ing secrecy, had its origin B. G. ATT, at
which time Pausanias, the commander
of the confederate feet of the Spar
tans and Athenians, was engaged in
an intrigue with XerXes for the sub
jugation of Greece to the Persian rule
and for the hand of the monarch S
daughter in marriage.
The negotiations were carried on in
a building attached to the temple of
Minerva, called the Brazen house, the
roof of which was a garden forming
a bower of roses, so that the plot,
which was carried on with the utmost
secrecy, was literally matured under
the rose.
1t afterward became custom
among the Athenians to wear roses
in their hair when telling secrets that
they wished to be kept inviolate.

planned on May 10 while the Japanese
squadron was concentrated outside

night.
The attacking force was not a reg

and no glow from the engines to be-
tray her presence. 1t was late when
she gained the outer line of the Jap.

the torpedo boat pickets and select

Objects remote the eye now fails Ia see.

Patrolman Reilly of the Mount

all over that town, to go from house

there were no lights to wake the occu

in carrying out his orders. Finally
he reached a handsome residence
wherein resides one of the prettiest
girls in all Westminster county. The
house was silent as the grave. There
was not glimmer of light within.
Bravely mounting the steps, Reilly
rang the front door bell. For
moment there was no response. At
last the portal swung open, and very
angry young man stuck his face

corrupt politics to continue to ruin
their children, as II has done in the
years past, by licensing the saloons
Everyone very well knows that II the
Christian women we're voters, that
they would vote the saloon and the
majority OF it's accompanying evils
out Of existence, yet men will boast
that they are against woman suffrage
not allowing them the rights that they
do the drunken voters and saloon
keepers, and all criminals at heart
Take such as committed that terrible
outrage at Colfax, Washington, on

such flends as these men are allowed
10 vote. But women are not allowed
that privilege, as one in a civilized
nation, and the crime was fruit Of
saloon. You say that the home is
the place for women.
Well, that is true in one sense Of
the word, but could any mother alive
have stayed at home II she had known
where her child was that night?
