THE EASTERN WAR.

In addition to the terrible sacrifice OF
life on land in the recent operations at
Port Arthur, the japanese cruiser
Salyen, while cooperating with the
army, struck Russian mine and sank
on November 80. Captain TJima and
80 men went down with the ship.
Fifteen officers and IFS men were res
cued by japanese gunboat.

Hay promised to call the attention Of
President Roosevelt to the action of the

The battleship Sevastopol continues at
anchor outside. but possibly returns to
the harbor at nights and anchors inside
the outer boom, which protects her
from torpedo boats. The recent heavy
weather has given ADDED protection to
the vessel. isf
Naval experts are discarding the theo-
ry that The Russians sank any of their
ships. The fact that the vessels first
showed lists while in exposed positions
and the efforts made to save the Sevasto-
pol are regarded as conclusive evidence
against the theory of their being sunk
by the Russians. Most Of the sunken
wsrships lie headed northward. They
received the bulk of the FIRE across their
port sides, and the fact that at least two
OF them showed lists to siarboard give
rise to the theory that japanese shells
exploded inside the ships and against the
starboard armor, driving the armor out
ward and causing leaks.
To make sure of the destruction of the
Russian warships the japanese continue
to drop shells into the suDken hulks.
rhe whereabouts of the torpedo-boat
dastroyers continues doubtful, but it is
thought they are sheltered outside the
harbor. The weather prevents good OBJ
servations being made, but the Japanese
are sending searching fire into hooks
which are not observable from 2O3-Meter
Hill and other heights.
Observers report a number OF tugs,
launches, dredges aud small craft an
chored near the hospital ships in the
west harbor, where they evidently have
gone for the purpose of obtaining protec-
ton. 1t is suggested that the besiegers
notify General Stoessel to separate these
vessels from the hospital ships or take
the consequences. The japanese are ex-
ercising care to avoid hitting the hospi.
tai ships, which are frequently In the d.
rect line of fire.
