NOTHING OFFICIAL.
Japanese Legation Has Not Heard
About Vladivostock Bombardment.

London, March Up to a late hour
tonight. the Japanese legation here had
received no official information regard
ing the bOmbardment of VladivOstOck
1t is believed at the legation, however
that the japanese are now between the
Russian cruiser squadron and Vladivos-
took. and there is reason to believe that
the Russian squadron is i'm the vicinity
of POssiet bay.
Russian official dispatches do not
mention this squadron and this fact
lends color to the belief that the Jap
anese warships have shut it out OF
VladivOstOck.
1t is pointed out at the legation that
if this is true the Russian vessels are
in critical position and since they
must run the gauntlet of the japanese
squadron off Vladivostock or the Jap
anese squadron off Port Arthur before
reaching q Russian port.

Japs in Possession of Yellow and
Japan Waters.

Seoul. March THE Japanese Steam
ship Co. of the Osaki Line has resumed
passenger service between Kobe and Che
mulpo. It's first steamer, the Chikugt

day, carrying foreigners among her pas

A reference to the map showing the

wonderful success which the japanese
now have won by clearing both the sea
of Japan and the Yellow sea of the enc
my. who 90 days ago unhesitatingly claim

Today. japanese steamers sail both
seas unprotected by accompanying war
ships. The resumption of commercial in
tercourse is necessarily incomplete be-
cause the japanese government has char
tered many transports and therefore
steamers are scarce.

FIREMEN OVERCOME
 BY SMOKE AND GAS
FOUR OF THEM WILL PROBABLY DIE AS RESULT OF ATTEMPT TO STOP. A FIRE IN A NEW YORK SUB-CELLAR.

New York, June 2e.-Forty- three fire men, four of whom will probably die, were overcome by smoke and gas at a fire today in the sub-cellar of the double five story brick building at 3S3 Broadway, ex- tending through to Mercer street Half hundred employees wer driven from the building, and the damage is estimated at between s15O,0O0 and s2oO00O, The fire was so situated that 1t was difficult to fight. and 1t burned for. more than two hours before 1t was brought under control The smoke from the burning material was so dense and pungent that the firemen could work in it for but few minutes at A time, and many of those who brayed if fell prostrate where they stood Some who fell, lay unnoticed on the floor for minutes, and one man remained for nearly an hour before finally discovered and dragged 10 the open air
 The breaking of gas mains inside the building and the consequent filling of the burning structure with Illuminating gas added greatly to the difficulty and danger.
 Capt. Edward Levy and Fireman Pat rick McKeever, John w. Andrews and John Riley probably will die from their injuries while Battalion Chief William Guerin, Lieutenant John H. Link and five firemen are in a dangerous condition. and thiFty-two others were less seriously hurt.
