RUSSIANS WILL GUARD SHIPS.
No Stranger VIII Be Allowed to Visit
the Navy Yards.

Odessa, June 11.-Extreme meas
ures are being taken to safeguard the
various Russian arsenals and ships.
All magazines are watched day and
night, and it would go hard with any
stranger found prowling around them,
as the orders to the guards are to
"shoot first and investigate after
ward"
These exceptional measures are in
spired by the fear that there will be a
repetition of recent deliberate at
tempts to wreck some of the warships
in the navy yards. The attempts are
believed to have been made by work
men, who had been bribed by Japan
ese agents, and as a result no work
men are now permitted to enter the
yards or arsenals without a large
metal number which they are COM
PEELED to wear in a conspicuous posi-
ton to establish their identity.

FIGHT WITH TOGO.
Russians Claim to Have Sunk Four Jap.
anese Battleshirs.

st. Petersburg, June 10.-There Is
great rejoicing in the Russian capital
this morning over the receipt of dis
patch from Liao Yang which indicates
that instead of being captured, as ru-
mored yesterday, the Russian garri-
son at Port Arthur has beaten of an
attack in force of the Japanese, and
still retains possession of the strong
hold Not only that, but Admiral
Skrydloff has made his way out of
Vladivostok with the Russian Siber-
ian fleet, and has made a junction
with the Port Arthur squadron, after
a desperate fight with the Japanese
fleet under Admiral Togo. The joint
squadrons are now reported Inside OF
Port Arthur roadstead. The japanese
lost four of their best ships, while the
Russians escaped practically I'M
scathed.
The news of this Russian success
was brought to General Kuropatkin
by a number of Chinese, and their
stories are so circumstantial as to be
considered reliable. The fighting is
understood to have taken place on
Monday and to have continued on
Tuesday.
The account for st. Petersburg
may only be an amplif1cation of the
rumors afloat at Chefoo and Shanghai
earlier in the week to the effect that
the Russian fleet at Port Arthur had
made a sortie and sunk several of the
Japanese picket fleet which was
keeping watch of the harbor.
The report that the Vladivostok
squadron had reached Port Arthur is
hardly credible in view of the fact
that Admiral Skrydloff has recently
stated that the squadron should not
be sent to sea, but should be. retained
at Vladivostok until the Baltic fleet
arrived.

WHEN HARRY UNDERSTOOD.
Interesting Incident of the Days Of Be

Interesting Incident Of the Days Of Bad
Going for Horses.
With the bad going in the city's
streets in the last few days the horses
have had about all they could do. some
Of them more; and it has been, gener-
ally, a time to try both horses and
drivers, says the New York Sun.
About as hard crosstown block AZ
any you would find in its neighborhood
for teams bound up grade is in Fulton
street between Church street and
Broadway. Many team has failed
on this grade. and many good team.
with the going bad, has had all it
could do to negotiate it.
Coming up here in the usual crush
at about o'clock yesterday afternoon
was great big team Of three horses,
a team that looked as though it could
haul anything. Halfway up the block
it began to move slowly.
The giant middle horse wasn't pull
ing his weight. He wasn't hanging
back, he was not even loafing; but his
head was now back two or three inch
es from the heads of the other two.
The driver looked down at the big
horse in a sort of mild astonishment.
And then he didn't touch him with
the whip, nor do thing to him at all,
but Just spoke to him.
He called the horse by name in a
low tone, intended to be heard by the
horse alone, but In a tone that ex-
pressed surprise, pain, friendly re-
proach and interrogation. 1t isn't pos
sible to put down in type as he said
it.
"Harry?"
And Harry heard and understood;
| and his nose went out two OF three
| inches beyond the other horses heads
and he pulled his share of the load
and more, and the big outfit took a
fresh and sure start on toward Broad
way.

ing to sell books the Queen of Spain
was wearing as her crown the valu-
able possession which now often

was exiled she carried with her most
Of her jewels. One Of these was a
crown set with some Of the finest dia-
monds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires
in the world. A few years ago a Span
ish grandee, known to the Prince del
Drago, came to America. His sole
fortune consisted of the gorgeous
crown which had belonged to his
grandaunt. The imperial bauble was
offered for sale and was eventually
bought by the Goulds for $125,OOO. It
is now worn by the Countess Castel-

RUSSIA RISKS NOT.
japanese Attack on St. Petersburg Be
Ing Guarded Against.

st. Petersburg, June 13.-Remote as
now appears the chance that the Japan
ese fleet will ever be in a position to
venture up the Baltic and make dem
onstration against the Russian capital,
or that European power will be
drawn into the war, Russia is evidently
taking nothing for granted. The pos
sibility of the fall of Port Arthur or a
disaster to the Baltic squadron after
the later sails for the Far East have
been considered, and no precaution
will be omitted to protect st. Peters
burg against attack. The Notifications
of Riga, in the southern part of the
gulf of Riga, and Reval, at the entrance
of the gulf of Finland, have been
strengthened. Some new guns of the
latest patterns have been mounted in
the fortress of Cronstadt. and chain OF
water batteries, running out on either
side of the shores Of the gulf of Finland,
will guard the entrance to the mouth
of the Neva.
This system of Notifications was
sufficient to discourage the attack
planned by the British feet during the
Crimean war. In addition. however,
shore batteries have been constructed
near Cranienbaum, on the gulf of Cron.
stadt, 10 miles from st. Petersburg,
and Sestroryetsk, on the Sestra river
and II miles from St. Peter sburg,
probably as a precaution against land
ings, as the forts are able to stop the
advance of hostile fleet. The ap'
proaches to Cronstadt are also being
mined, and merchant ships are being
forbidden to enter port without pilot
to conduct them through the mine
fields.

Turkey viii Be Neutral.

St. Petersburg, June 13.-The Asso-
ciated Press is informed officially that
no negotiations are taking place be-
tween Russia and Turkey concerning
the passage of the Black sea fleet
through the Dardanelles. The Turkish
government has affirmed positively its
intention to maintain neutrality and to
observe strictly the obligations OF the
Berlin treaty. While diplomatic cir
cles do not believe in the existence OF
danger in the Balkans, yet it is thought
Russia will not consider reduction ol
the Black sea feet at this time.

Toxic, June 9.-According to the
Japanese correspondents with the

the active Russian operations are linz
tied to a series of skirmishes fought
by Cossacks and mounted infantry,

than to occupy the attention of the
Japanese outposts. The Russians en-
gagged number hardly more than 600

the districts of Aiyang and Saimat,

Chinese Machinist Tells of Conditions n
Port Arthur.

Port Arthur.
Chefoo, June IA Chinese for
merly employed in the machine shops
at Port Arthur, who arrived here to-
but three of the five sound YES
sells. All the guns from the damaged
ships have been removed to the forts,
and the sailors from these ships have
gone to the front with the troops. The
Russian warships, which formerly
were painted black, are now painted
gray, as are the vessels of the Japan
ese fleet. Russian torpedoboats leave
the harbor occasionally for half an
hour, but the larger warships cannot
get through the entrance.
The Russians are refusing permls-
sion to skilled workmen to leave Port
Arthur, but many are escaping. Lit
tie work is being done in the machine
shops because of the confusion among
workmsn each time firing is
heard. One shell recently wrecked a
machine shop building, but did no
damage to the machinery. Another
shell wrecked the Offices in the dock
yard.
Three hundred and fifty mines have
been laid in the roadstead, and many
others have been placed around the
ships in the naval basin. Some of the
latter were exploded last week by
lightning, but no damage was done.
The Chinese who have come out OF
Port Arthur complain of the treatment
accorded them by the Russian sol
diers, declaring they were maltreated
if they did not supply the soldiers with
money and liquor. Villagers in the vi
cinity of Port Arthur are compelled to
supply the soldiers with rice, and Rus
sian horses are turned loose in their
wheat fields, destroying the crops.
Japanese spies who entered Port
Arthur last week distributed notices
assuring the Chinese liberal treat
ment in case the Japanese were vic
torious.
