JAPs ELATED OVER VICTORY.

TOKYO, April II, p. m.-The Japa-
nese are elated over the successes they
have won at Port Arthur. They are
also proud of the achievements of Vice
Admiral Togo, particularly Of his new
est strategy of countermining the enc
my's harbor and decoying him across
this field Of mines to an equally dan
gerous flank attack.
The success of the system of placing
deadly countermines is due largely to
a series Of careful observations made
by the japanese during their previous
attacks on Port Arthur. The japanese
saw the Russian fleet leave the harbor
and return to 1t several times, and they
discovered that the Russian warships
followed an identical course every time
| they came out or went in, evidently
for the purpose of avoiding their own
| mines. The Japanese took bearings on
this course. When the destroyer d.
visions Of the Japanese torpedo fotilIa
laid the countermines during the night
of April 1913 they placed them along
this course. The laying of these coun-
termines was exceedingly perilous be-
| cause, if any Japanese boat with mines
on board had been struck by a lucky
Russian shot she would have been an
initiated.
The weather of the night of April
1913 favored the work. There was a
heavy rain, the night was dark and
cloudy and the Russian searchliehts
| playing over the channel failed to re-
veal the presence Of the Japanese de-
stroyers.
Rear Admiral Dewa was in command
| OF the japanese squadron which de-
coyed the Russian ships over the field
OF mines. His squadron consisted of

JAP BOMBARDMENT
WAS PICTURESQUE
Delayed Report Describes Attack Made
On Port Arthur March Fl and q.

PORT ARTHUR, March 2S.-De-
layed in transmission) -The lombard
ment of March 21-22 was almost pic
turesque. The shells Whistled through
the air and aroused the inhabitants
who were asleep. Then the fire ceas-
ed and all was quiet for few hours.
The bombardment was recommended
before the port and off Lao Tishan by
formidable Japanese fleet. Our ships
one by one raised anchor and steamed
to the outer roads to meet the enemy.
The RetviZan and CZarevitz only re-
manned, and with guns elevated to-
wards heaven they fired over the hill
Amid the thunder Of the shots, with
Vice Admiral Makaroff on board and
the band playing God Save the En-
peror," the cruiser Askold left the har-
Dor.
On Golden Hill were grouped the in
habitantS Of Port Arthur, who saw
below them q rare panorama. The
Japanese ships looked like f1atirons on
the emerald sea. They kept at long
range.
Not since the bombardment Of Feb.
., when we seriously injured thirteen
of their ships" said Capt. Seitz, COM
handing the battery, have they dared
to approach near the batteries, but at

sea. In turn the Russian ships invite
them to come under the batteries,
but the Japanese are unwilling to do
this
In spite of the heavy firing Of the
Japanese ships, some of the officers
in the forts were calmly drinking tea,
There were few signs of excitement
and no nervousness. Meanwhile the
Russian fleet, arranged in battle form
alton; went toward the Japanese cruis-
ers. The latter began to retire and at
the same time around Lao Tishan
came the enemy's battleships, one Of
which, 1t was observed, Jagged behind.
According to the report on one of
the batteries this vessel had been
struck by shell fired from the Ret
vizan, which fell on her deck and
exploded in her machinery.
The Japanese battleships steered to
the flank of the Russian squadron and

answered with change of helm, which

turned and continued on course
which enabled them to effect a juno
ton with the cruisers. The enemy

REPORT NOT CONFIRMED.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 17.-Ru-
mors were in circulation here today of
a fresh engagement on the Yalu river
which had resulted favorably to the
Russians, but a dispatch received by
the general staff tonight says that the
situation is unchanged and that all is
quiet on the Yalu.
Tt is said that on the eve of the dis
aster to the PetropavloYsk, Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff telegraphed to the en-
peror that he was about to fight de-
cisive action with the enemy's fleet.
A story is circulating among the en-
tourage of the court that on hearing of
the catastrophe the emperor wept and,
referring to VicerOy Alexieff, exclaim-
ed, That man brings us nothing but
i'll luck" 1t is also alleged that the
emperor was with difficulty dissuaded
from removing the viceroy from his
post.

Unable to get within effective range
of Vice Admiral Makaroff's ships, the
enemy stopped eighteen versts from
shore.
Our squadron, with the Petropavlovsk
leading, arrived at the entrance to the
harbor and drew up in line of battle.
Another signal was flOated from the
flagship, and the torpedo boats at once
proceeded through the entrance into
the inner harbor. Vice Admiral Maka-
rolf was evidently unwilling to risk his
vulnerable craft to the heavy proJec-
tiles of the enemy's armored ships.
1 watched the Petropavlovsk closely
as she steamed toward Electric cliff.
The frowning marine monster, whose
guns were ever turning towards the
enemy. was prepared to send huge
messengers Of death against him. All
was quiet. 1t was the hush before a
battle-the hush when every nerve is
strained to get into impending danger.
All Quiet When Explosion Come.
1 looked for the Japanese ships, but
they were without movement, save that
caused by the heaving sea.
My glance returned to our squadron.
The Petropavlovsk was almost with
out Roadway when suddenly saw her
tremble. She seemed to rise out Of
the water, a tremendous explosion rent
the air, then a second and then third.
Fragments flew in all directions and
wreckage and men were mixed up in
a terrible mass.
l was hardly able to realize the hor-
ror of it when the ship began to list.
In a moment the sea seemed to open
and the water rushed over her. The
Petropavlovsk had disappeared.
The floating woodwork and the few
men struggling in the water were all
that was left to recall the splendid
fighting machine which a few hours
before had sailed out Of the harbor.
The same shock experienced by the
observers on Golden Hill paralyzed for
a moment the men on the ships, but
when it passed torpedo boats and small
boats FASTENED to the rescue Of the
survivors.
Eager to ascertain what had occurred
on board the sunken ship, I fastened
to landing where a small remnant of

the gallant crew were being put ashore
and conveyed to hospital. Signal
man Pochkoff, who was slightly
wounded, was able to give me a re-
markedly clear statement of the dlsas-
ter. He said:
1--WE were returning to the harbor,
the Petropavlovsk leading. Some or
our cruisers, which had remained in
the harbor, came out and steamed to-
ward the enemy, firing sixteen shots at
him with their bow guns. They then
retired. The enemy numbered fourteen
heavy ships, nearly all armored, while
ours were nine. Against their armOred
cruisers we had only the Bayan. 1

of the Petropavlovsk looking up the
signal book. The admiraPs last signal
had been for the torpedo boats to enter
the harbor.

and almost stood still. Suddenly the
ship shook violently. 1 heard fearful

where l met an officer, probably a

out. The ship was listing and feared
that every moment she would turn
over.

sprang to him, grasped him by the
shoulder and attempted to raise him.
1.-THE ship semed to be falling some
where. From all sides flew fragments.
I heard the deafening screech and the
frightful din. The smoke rose in dense
clouds and the flames seemed to leap
toward the bridge where I was stand
ing beside the admiral. 1 jumped on
the rail and was washed off, but sue

Make Submarine Boats.

LONDON, April 17.-While it is au-
thoritatively stated that the Japanese
have no submarine navy at the present
time and that therefore 1t is impossible
that the PetropavlOvsk could have
been sunk by boat of this class, 1t is
understood that the Japanese arsenals
and navy yards are working overtime
on two OF more submarine boats, which
will be ready before the Russian Baltic

KOREANS To
BREAK STRIKE
End of Troubles at
WaiaIua Not Yet.
In Sight.

Two hundred and fifty Koreans We're
taken down to Waialua plantation yes
terday in an endeavor to break the
strike of the Japanese there, out of
which grew the riot call for the po-
lice on Thursday night.
There are nine hundred men on strike
now, their grievances being various.
Among other things the Japanese claim
that they should have higher pay be-
cause sugar is worth more now than
it was when they went to work. The
fact that they are not working on a
sliding scale cuts no ice whatever with
them. They argue that the boss is
getting more money and SO they should.
Then. they Go not like the way in which
trash is dumped upon the cane fields
they demand that couple of lunas who
are personally Objectionable to them
shall be fired, and lastly they do not
like their interpreter, a Japanese
preacher of the name of Sek, and de-
mand that the job be given to one Mori-
kama This man was taken down to
the plantation yesterday and so the
demand that he he employed will prob
ably be granted.
AS TO the rest. the demands of the
men are now under consideration. but
there is small likelihood of a settle
ment for some days TO come. There is
q hard lot of Japanese hanging about
Waialua, many of them discharged
plantation HANDS, and the trouble of
Thursday night was caused directly by
the efforts of two of these. These men
went to the pumping station at Ka-
wailoa and tried to>get the men work
ing the pumps to leave tneir posts, but
were driven away by the white en-
pIoyes. Then they went down to the
japanese camp and stirred up their
fellows to trouble that eliminated in

CARRY GUNS
Chance for information.
al Complication On
Garden Isle.

Word has come down from Kauai thai
the idle japanese on the island, OF
whom it was said that there are sew
eral hundred, have been latterly gather
ing for drill purposes near Lihue in q
manner that raises the question of the
preservation of the neutrality of the
islands
These japanese, who are. as it ap-
who have presumably been or who are
about to be ordered to their colors, have
been drilling on the plain near Lihue
r seves 4. weeks past. They have reg
ular drill, with officers and men in uni
form and colors flying, but up to a
few weeks ago their maneuvers We're
performed with wooden guns. These
facts were reported by the police Off
GERS on Kauai.
Latterly, however. the sounds of fir
ing have been heard to come from the
drill ground of the japanese, indicat-
ing that the soldiers have obtained guns
from some quarter and that their prep
arations to go to the front have there
fore assumed much more warlike
manner. Whether the men have OBJ
tanned guns enough to arm them COM
pletely. or whether they have got only
a few rifles with which to indulge in
target practice is not stated
The incident has sufficed to raise the
question of the preservation of the neu-
traIity of the Islands and it is prob
able that there VIII be a looking up of
the law upon the point. President
Roosevelt, at the beginning OF the pres
ent war between Japan and Russia, is
sued a proclamation defining neutrality
setting forth somewhat in detail those
things which it was forbidden to resi-
dents in a neutral state TO do so long
as state of war subsisted between
powers toward both of whom the United
States was friendly. This proclama-
ton relates largely. naturally enough,
% ships and shipping, but it contains
his provision among things forbidden:
beginning or setting on foot or pro-
yiding or preparing the means for any
expedition or enterprise to be
,arried. on from The territory or juris-
iiction of the United States against the
erritories or domains of either of the
"a ID belligerents.'
This. in effect, is reading of the
'evised statutes of the United States
With reference TO the preservation OF
neutrality. The revised statutes, sec
ion 52S2. says:
Every person who, within the terri
ory or Jurisdiction of the United states
