AFTER RoJEsTVENsKY.
ONLY SCOUTING SQUADRON
Not Believed Strong Enough to Give
Battle to Baltic Sea Fleet-Togo
Tells of Damage to SevastopoI-
Small Fighting Craft from Port
Arthur.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 23.-The an
nouncement that four Japanese cruis-
ers and II torpedoboats are proceed
ing west from Singapore is received
here with much interest. 1t us not
believed, however, that such small
squadron can have been sent out by
Japan with any idea of engaging in of
fensive operations, but it is regarded
as more probable that it is the pur-
pose of this squadron to keep surveil-
lance over the two detachments of
the Russian fleet which are expected
to soon unite in the neighborhOod OF
Madagascar. 1t is generally believed
that Admiral Rojestvensky intends
to establish a naval coaling base on
some small island between Madagas-
car and the Philippines and that the
Japanese cruising squadron hopes to
mark down the rendezvous for Admir-
al Togo's information Hope is !ex-
pressed that Rojestvensky will be
able to catch up with the japanese
scouts, which it is believed he could
easily destroy, thereby weakening
the Japanese in the final naval engage
ment.
Togo Reports on SevastopoI.
Toxic, Dec. 23.-A report received
from Vice Admiral Togo says:
"a prisoner taken by our feet, who
is considered reliable, reports that as
the result of our attack since Deem
Der 13 eight torpedoes struck the bat
tleship Sevastopol and that at leastl
one took effect on her hull. The tor
pedo which struck the SeyastopOPs
hull took effect on the port side aft,
about eight feet along thel
river lines. The Sevastopol is now
headed toward the outer part of the en-
trance to the harbor, with her stern
aground and her gun ports amidshipsI
awash. The ship is listing to star
board and the side lights in her lower
deck are submerged. The night OIL
December 16, one. of our torpedoes
struck the bow of Russian torpedo
boat destroyer and that vessel is now
aground"
All Troops Go to Port Arthur.
Mukden, Dec. 23.-There was more
artillery firing from Poutiloff hill De
cember 81, which resulted in dispers
ing party of Japanese trying to en-
trench in front of that position. The
Chinese report that Field Marsha
Oyama and staff have established
headquarters at Liaoyang and that the
Japanese are constructing new forts
around the city. The Japanese are
reported to be suffering severely from
cold and sickness in the vicinity OF
Palaszandzi and Shilikhe, where it is
said they lost 1000 men in single
week. All Japanese reinforcements
landing at Dalny are going in the d1-
rection of Port Arthur.
Same Story from Mukden.
Mukden, Dec. 23-The situation re,
mains unchanged, The two opposing

Both sides have extended their posi-
tons far to the eastward.

that, ever implies The issue was
printed in three sections of eight pages
each and contained as fine write up of
the entire county of Clinton as THE
TIMES ever saw given to any county by
any paper not excepting those given by
any metropolitan daily with the advant-
ages of large staff and great mechani :
cal equipment. Every village in the
county. and every business man in
every village, was remembered in this
edition which should do much to attract
outsiders to the advantages Of resi-
dence in Clinton county if placed in
their hands. Clinton county is to be
congratulated on having paper Of the
unquestioned enterprise of the News
and incidentally the News is to be con-
gratulated-on having completed its
fifteenth volume and having entered 80
auspiciously on its sixteenth, and also
on being located in a county which so
thoroughly appreciates good paper
like the News. THE TIMES ventures
the hope that the News may continue
to grow and increase for many years to
come and that the people of Clinton
county may continue to show the same
proper appreciation of the enterprise
displayed by the News which they have
shown in the past. The paper is evil
IDENTIFY deserving of the support it re-
ceives. 1t also seems evident that
Clinton county people are deserving of
the kind of paper which the manage
ment makes of the News. The comb |
nation seems most happy one.
