Japanese Crews Got Away.
ST. PETERSBURG MUCH EXCITED
Great Crowds in the Streets Waiting for
News of the Repulse.

Great Crowds in the Streets Waiting for
News of the Repulse.
St Petersburg, Feb. %. - The dis
patch from Alexieff was the culmina-
ton Of a night of excitement here.
There were several stories current be-
fore the official dispatch was received,
and they all said that the japanese
had tried to block the harbor with
barges loaded with stone, and had been
severely repulsed. Rumors Of the vic
tory were spread far and wide over
the city during the early part of the
evening, and the crowds which had
gathered in the streets, in spite of the
severe cold, were greatly excited. One
paper printed an extra relating the
victory based ON a meager telegram
from London, but as the night wore
ON without official confirmation the
crowds disappeared, except from
around the newspaper offices.
The news of the victory was accom-
panied by two stories, one that after
the first decisive Russian victory the
emperor WOULD offer peace, and the
other that Japan had deposed the en-
peror Of Korea and formally annexed
that country. Both these reports are
without confirmation and they are
simply as examples of the stories

tirely destroyed by the force of the
explosion, was a brick building, four
stories high, 200 feet long by 100 feet

is a total loss. The explosion is not

SPANIARDS LICKED AGAIN
Fight Between United States and Spanish
Tars Ends in Favor Of Our
Blue Jackets

Blue JackelS.
st. Thomas, d. W. l., Feb. %. = A
fight occurred tere between sailors
from a Spanish and a United States
warship which resulted in the wound
ing of several men and an ultimate
victory for the United ~Statesans. The
fight originated when a seaman from
the United States cruiser Columbia
jostled a sailor from the Spanish cruz
ser Rio de la Plata as he passed him
in the street. The Spaniard was with
q companion from his ship, as was
the United States sailor, and all the
men were on shore liberty. The Span
ish sailor drew a ~stiletto and seriously
wounded the sailor who had brushed
against him.
Other men from the Columbia who
were on shore gathered around their
companions and attacked the two Span
iards, who defended themselves with
their knives, and succeeded in slightly
wounding several other United States
aI,. They finally escaped, ran TO the
wharf and jumped into the water. They
were picked up by a harbor boat and
taken on board their warship. The
wounded United States sailor is in a
hospital here in q critical condition.

ABOUT |%NJUNCT|ONS
Arguments Made Cefore a Com.
mittee of the New York
Legislature.
LABOR WANTS A CHANGE NADE
joined from Inducing Sailors
to Leave Ships.

Albany, n. Y, Feb.25.-The anti.
injunction bill' Of Assemblyman
Prince, which provides for a hearing
previous to the issue Of an irjunc-
ton in any labor controversy by a
judge, was the subject of a hearing
before the assembly codes committee.
Frederick Collins, Of Elmira, counsel
foc the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad, and William i utter,
Of the New York City Building Trades
Employers association, opposed the
bill. The main arguments against it
were that any restriction of the power
Of injunction would give time for dam
age to be done before the Injunction
could be obtained.
Other side Also Is Heard.
Assemblyman Prince; r. Z. Quirk,
Of the railroad firemen; Messrs. Hayts
and Ogden; Of the trainmen, and Jas.
P. Hooley, chairman Of the legislative
committee of the State Federation Of
Labor, appeared for the bill. Prince
declared that 90 per cent. of the in
functions in such cases prohibited per-
fectly legal actions. and that sometimes
for weeks men were restrained from
doing things they had a perfect right
to do. Hooley hoped the bill, which
has been before the Legislature for e v
eral years, would not die in committee.
Injunction i'm a Sailors Strike.
Boston, Feb. 25.-The strike Of ca
men at this port has assumed a new
phase and a bill In equity has been
filed in the superior court, asking that
the officers and members Of the At
lantic Coast Seapen's union be re-
strained from influencing sailors
against shipping on vessels managed
by persons who r unwilling to ac-
cede to the demands of the Union. The
plaintiffs assert that the members Of
the union have induced sailors to de-
sert their vessels, and have in certain
instances used force to prevent crews
being shipped on vessels managed by
the plaintiffs. John Lind. a walking
delegate of the union, and one Of the
defendants named in the bill, was ar
rested on the charge of attempting to
entice a member of the crew of the
schooner Eleanor A. Percy to desert
before the expiration of his contract.

LATEST MOVE OF THE JAPs

They Have Made u Treaty with Korea
That L. q Clever Thing.
Washington, Feb. 2~5.-Japan's latest
diplomatic move is regarded here as
a very clever one. 1t is no less THAI
a treaty with Korea by which Japan
guarantees that country's intepend-
ence, thereby disavowing any inten-
ton on Japan's part tograbany Korean
territory. This is contrasted here with
the purpose Of Russia, whose protest
against Japan's acts in Korea is held
to be with a view to retaliation on
Korea, involving its annexation to Rus
STA for alleged violation of neutrality.
No details of the new Japanese
Korean treaty have been announced at
the state department, which confines
itself for the present to h brief an
~nouncement of the treaty's conclusion.
1t is known, however, that Korea in
return gives Japan extensive military
rights, and the officials here regard
the negotiation OF the treaty as q dec
liration by Japan of her p~rotectorate
over the Hermit Kingdom, ard a move
which has long been expected. 1t is
supposed that Japan is gwen the right
to fortify Korea in any way she wishes
and practically ssum control control
Of all Korea's defenses.
This declaration Of a protecto ate
over Korea by Japan OF {. u-.e Ielnoses
Korea from the rank Of Ie1tral pow
ers and makes the Hermit Kingdom
ais legitimate a field fer military op-
erations as Japan itself.
Russia will ignore Japans newly
negotiated treaty with Korea, and has
SO informed the United States, Japan,
it may be staied, assumes practically
the same attitude of indifference to-
wards RuEsia's protest to the powers,
which on high authority it is declared

ment. In diplomatic circles Secretary

ton Of the Japanese-Kore treaty Gre

TOXIC TELLS OF THE AFFAIR
Account of he Attempt to Block Up Port
Arthur Harbor.

Arthur Harbor.
Toxic. Feb. 27.-vice Admiral To-
go's attempt to bottle up the Russian
fleet at Port Arthur by sinking a fleet
of st~One-laden merchant. steamers in
the mouth of the harbor evidently
failed, though the venture caused no
loss of life and the vessels lost were
not of great value. Five ships were
prepared by Vice Admiral Togo for
the attempted blockade. Four are re-
reported to have been sunk, but the
fate Of the fifth is unknown here. 1t
is presumed that it withdrew with the
other japanese vessels.
The five vessels were filled with
stones, so as 70 make the obstruction
permanent, and were manned by vol
unteer merchant crews. 1t was impos-
sible to select naval officers and sail
ors on account of their great rivalry
to participate in the daring venture.
Accompanied by four b~attleships, nine
cruisers and numerous vessels of the
torpedo fotilla, the stone-laden steam
els reached Port Arthur on Wednes-
day. While the fleet engaged the shore
batteries the steamers made a dash for
the mouth of the harbor, directly under
the Russian guns.
Details of the attack have not been
received, but it is evident that the
Russian fiji sank the steamers before
they reached the points planned for
their laundering by the japanese. 1t
is said that all of the crews of the
four vessels escaped in boats, and were
picked up by the Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers. The report that two
of the torpedo boat destroyers were
sunk by the Russians is denied
The naval department has received a
brief dispatch from he commander of
one of the torpedo boat destroyers,
saying that no lives and no swarships
were lost, and that no damage was
inflicted by the Russians. Pending the
receipt of the official report of Vice
Admiral Togo the naval department
declines to make any announcement
regarding the affair.
