ing squadron of four cruisers from Vlad-
tvostok has been sunk by rumor several
times. but there IL no confirmation OF the
fact, and 1t IL believed to be still operating
in the Japan sea. One report II that the
Russian plan Is to infiict as much damage
as possible on the japanese coast and ship
ping by this means and then to run the
cruisers into Port Arthur under cover OF
the night to reinforce the naval forces now
there. This purpose would seem to be fool
hardy, for thus far the presence of the
Russian vessels at Port Arthur has been a
source Of advantage to Japan, enabling that
power to deplete the Russian naval strength
while landing troops in Korea with vir-
tually no resistance. To send these four
cruisers to Port Arthur, 1t would seem,
would be merely to place them where they
are most likely to suffer damage or de-
struction Already. If the count is correct
eleven Russian ships have been more or less
severely injured at Port Arthur, some being
lost beyond recovery.

The War News.

Virtually all that is new in today's dis
patches from the far east is that appar-
emily the Russians at Port Arthur, in their
great Generalization during the Japanese
naval attack last week, mistook three OF
their own torpedo boats for those of the
enemy and sunk them. This statement
lacks official confirmation, but 1t is not de-
MED as yet. and, In view of the already es-
tablished facts of the campaign, II is not
beyond belief. 1t is clear that the Rus
SLAMS were surprised and demoralized by
the suddepness and holiness of the Japa-
nese attack. The officers. it seems, were
ashore attending mass or a circus-reports
differ on this point-and the fleet was
lying in blissful security, with only a per-
functory operation Of search-li lights There
are two stories of the manner Of the sue
cessful Japanese torpedo attack. One Is
that these boats made their way close to
the battle ships and cruisers through use
of the private signals OF the Russians
Japanese feet Unanswered in front and SO
distracted attention while the torpedo craft
were getting close in under the flank II
the former story Is true 1t affords re-
n,arka Bile contrast for this latest report of
the Russians sinking their own boats.
Hints of the early encounter of large bod
les OF Russian and Japanese troops in
northern Korea continue to come. There
is every reason to look for such clash
soon. Tor 1t IL not to be believed that Rus

Respect for the Japanese.

In the news from st. Petersburg "a dis
tinguished Russian" is quoted as follows:
1.-The slight reverses which we sustained
at the outset have had good effect. The
Russians no longer despise the enemy.
That was a mistake which we made. The
Japanese certainly are excellent fighters,
who will be treated with the respect they
deserve"
1t is evidently the hope of the Japanese
to deserve a good deal of respect. They
are striving to please. They strike like
men thoroughly in earnest and prepared
to keep it up. If they do keep 1t up, and
show as much alertness on land as they
are showing on the sea, not only Russia,
but all the world, will pay them the trib-
ute of very marked respect. The imple-
ments of war in Japan's hands are of the
latest and best, her soldiers and sailors
have been trained according to up-to-
date standards, and the national charac-
teristics are quickness and courage. Why
should not the Japanese, in a contest in
which they have so much at stake, and
assured as they are, of such widespread
sympathy, deserve" good deal of re
spect?'
The Russians have not been alone in
their ideas about the situation. Nearly
everywhere the appraisement has been that

STA has a population of one hundred and
forty millions, Japan one of only forty mill
lions. Russia is a great empire, while ia
pan is, in comparison a small island king

bers of ships and many thousands of ment
he
and will. pour her armies into Manchuria
until the Japanese will be overwhelmed by
sheer force of numbers We are referred to
the South African struggle. The Beers
fought well, but were altogether too light.
The Japanese are not as light in the field
by any means as the Beers. South Africa
does not suggest Manchuria. Great Britain
fought long way from base. but she had
from first to last wide, undisputed road to
the battle ground. The broad expanse of
the seas was hers, and it was but a ques-
ton of loading ships and sending them
away.
Russia on land is fighting a long way
from base and has but single track rail-
road, poorly constructed, to serve her pur-
poses. The Japanese are close at hand and
IN force. If they follow up their naval sue
cesses and clear the seas, they will be able
to mass large numbers In Manchuria.
In this day, little men, well trained and
with the latest patterns of guns in their
hands, are not to be despised by anybody.
The distinguished Russian" quoted Is
right. His countrymen cannot do better
than revise the feelings toward the Japa-
nese with which they have gone into this
war. Undertaking the enemy is always
the most shortsighted of policies.
