the Secretary of the Navy to return to

Moody has ordered all the ships to

The Russian forces in Manchuria are

Extensive preparations are being made
at Dalny, Port Arthur, Newchwang

WASHINGTON DOUBTS
THAT THE VICKSBURG
LET RUSSIANS DROWN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Adverse
comment by the Russian press of the
conduct of Commander William A.
Marshall of the United States steam
ship Vicksburg before and during the
Russo-Japanese naval engagement at
,Chemulpo is received with surprise
here. 1t is not believed that ne refused
to extend humane aid to members of
the crews of the Russian ships Koreitz
and Variag, which were blown up.
No detailed report of the engagement
has been received from Commander
Marshall, but the teachings and tradi-
tions of the United States navy have
always been conducive to humane and
generous action at such time 1t is
not known whether the Vicksburg
picked up any Russian seamen from
the waters of the harbor, but neither
is it known that any of the Russian
seamen perished while Americans
looked on and refused aid.

JAPANESE WARSHIPS
NOT DAMAGED EXCEPT
THROUGH ACCIDENTS

TOXIC, February 21.-The reports
from various quarters saying that Ad-
miral Togo's fleet was partly crippled
in the operations at Port Arthur are
unfounded. 1t has not been necessary
to send single large ship to Sasebo
for repairs. Two torpedo destroyers
have been damaged, but not in fight
ing. The Akebono, in attempting to
coal from a collier during storm,
collided with the Oboro. disabling her
machinery. Both were sent to Sasebo
to be repaired and they will be ready
for service soon.
The armored cruiser Chigoda has
been docked at Sasebo and cleaned.
She had been in the water for months
and her bottom was so fouled that
her speed was impaired.
The battleship Shikishima, which
was damaged on the eve of war, was
repaired in time to participate in Ad-
miral Togo's attack on Port Arthur.
On February she was returning to
Sasebo after the naval maneuvers and

SAYS JAPAN LOST A SHIP.
The official account of the battle of
Chemulpo, given by Pavloff, Russian
Minister TO Korea, who left Seoul for
China on February 12, is practically
identical with the report previously
cabled. Pavlcf says that the Japanese
captain of the cruiser Takachiho sunk
his vessel the night following the bat
tie and that the Russian fire silenced
the Asama's fore barbette and wrecked
her bridge. The Asama transferred
eighty killed or wounded to a transport.
The Japanese Minister on the same
night had an interview with the EN-
peror, according to Pavloff's report,
and threatened TO occupy the imperial
palace unless Japanese sovereignty in
Korea were recognized.
Grand Duke Alexis, conversing at the
Yacht Club, confirmed the report of
the sinking of a Japanese cruiser and
a Japanese torpedo boat at Chemulpo.

while changing her berth struck bot
tom. The accident was at first re-
garded as serious and it was believed
that Japan would have to defer the war
until the Shikishima could be repair
ed, owing to the then evenly balanced
naval strength of Japan and Russia.
When docked it was found that the
damage to the Shikishima was slight
and repairs were effected in a few
days. The accident was kept secret
and few were informed of it. 1t was
generally believed that the Shikishima
was still docked at Sasebo and unable
to participate in the attack on Port
Arthur.
Admiral Togo's men were eager to
fight and the men of the torpedo
squadron who were sent to reconnoit-
er at Dalny on the night of February
s were bitterly disappointed when
they missed the Port Arthur fight and
they have almost demanded of Ad-
miral Togo that he permit them to
engage the enemy at the next Op-
portunity.
Captain Takonouchi, former naval
attache at Paris, has been appointed
to command the Nisshin and Captain
Oinouyu. late chief of staff of the
Kure navy yard, has been appointed to
command the Kasaga. These are the
cruisers which were purchased from
the Argentine Republic. The Kasaga
has gone to Kure to outfit. She will
be ready for sea in two weeks. The
Nisshin is Quitting at Yokohama and
will be ready in three weeks.
The Russian Vladivostok squadron
was reported to-day on the west coast
of the island of Hokkido, attempting
to cut the cables. The navy depart
ment, however, discredits the report
and believes that the squadron is still
at Vladivostok.

FRENCH FINANCIERS
PLAN MEASURES TO
STEADY THE MARKET

PARIS, Feb. 21.-PrOminent financiers
have been in consultation to-day and
measures were taken which will be put
into operation tomorrow to prevent
continuance Of the depression which
since the opening Of the war in the Far
East, and particularly on Friday and
Saturday. has characterized the Bourse.
The Government is assisting these ef-
forts by positively denying that there
is any ground for alarm over further
complications.
The serious result of the weakness of
the market is shown by the estimates
Of securities listed on the Bourse, which
have diminished in value about 1000. =
00O0Oo francs within the past two
weeks.
Since February 6 French rentes
dropped here francs 25 centimes;

Russian consols, Z francs: Brazilian As,
8 francs so centimes; Bank of Paris, 9S
francs; Credit Lyonnaise, 81 francs;

francs. and Rio Tintos, 81 francs.
o.. It is recognized that something must
be done TO stop the reckless efforts to
sell All the hnanciers who discussed
the matter to-day united in saying that
the crisis was pre-eminently produced
by speculation based on the general
fear Of complications arising out Of the
war between Russia and Japan, and it
was because of this that capital had
been timid about intervening. The
fnancieTs who have been consulting to-
day propose to act together to uphold
the market tomorrow, and this, taken
with the denial Of the sensational re-
ports from Berlin and Madrid. is ex-
pected to bring about a reaction, or az
least 10 produce a firmer market.

Alexis paid a memorably pleasant
visit to the United States when a
young man. His career as high ad-
miral is we'll known and brilliant. and
he has always surrounded himself with
a notable staff. The Grand Duke has
been a prominent figure in two capi-
tails. During the busy months of win
ter he is often seen here walking on
the Grand Orskaja, to and from the
stately palace, and in front of the new
admiralty dockyards. His favorite re-
sort is the yacht club. He spends his
summers in Paris
Grand Duke Alexis is now in very
bad health, but his desire to go to the
front could not be resisted. If his
health permits he may exercise general
direction of the naval movements in
the Far East
BORIS is A HUSSAR.
Grand Duke Boris is a lieutenant of
Hussars and is considered a daredevil
of the soldier sort. He is likely to dis
tinguish himself in battle and probably
will be on the staff of Grand Duke
Nicholas, After Boris returned from
the United States he bought the palace
foymerly occupied by ambassador Nc
Cormick
Grand Duke Nicholas is AZ years of
age and is considered the foremost cav
airy expert in the Russian army. He
is tall and fair, with a pleasant face.
As the occupant of the responsible post
of inspector general of cavalry he will
be able to advise General Kuropatkin,
who is an infantry specialist.
Nicholas is one of the few Grand
Dukes who married a commoner, and
though his marriage has not been re-
corded it Is none the less happy one.
His wife was the widow of wealthy
merchant named Bourenin.
With General Kuropatkin's appoint
ment as commander in chief of the
army and the presence of Grand Duke
Alexis in the Far East, the opinion is
strengthened that while Admiral Alex
Jeff may remain as Viceroy, the active
direction of operations will pass out of
his hands.
