BEZOBR4ZOFFS Raid.
Lone Japanese Cruiser Watched
SQuadrOn's Operations.

Vladivostok, June 21-Lying in the harbor are
the three Russian cruisers which have just re-
turned from their successful raid in the Sea of
Japan and Strait OF Corea.
Vice-Admiral Bezobrazoff took the squadron
out on June u. The first day the warships were
fog bound. They reached the Corean Strait on
June II. and sighted and watched by
fast three masred Japanese cruiser. Off Tsu
Island the Russians pursued a vessel resembling
yacht, which escaped inshore. They sank the
japanese transport Izumi off Kotsu Island. The
Izumi was bringing back invalided soldiers from
Port Dalny. 100 Of whom were rescued by one
of the Russian cruisers
The japanese transports Hitachi and Sado
were next sighted, and after the Hitachi,
which was filled with troops disregarded the
signal to stop, and put on full steam. The Rus
sian cruisers then opened fire on her Gripping
her engines and setting her decks afame Still
the japanese refused haul down their flag.
The vessel was then seen to heel over. and hun
dreds Of the japanese jumped into the sea.
They were all drowned. The Hitachi was then
sunk by q torpedo.
The Sado obeyed the summons to stop. She
carried ] 800 coolies for railroad work in Corea,
200 tons of COAL 1000 tons OF rice. railroad
and telegraph equipment, a hundred horses and
a large amount of specie. The specie was
thrown overheard by the purser. Besides ten
capable of carrying one hundred men, AS soon
as the crew was ordered to leave the ship the
coolies rushed on deck. filled the boats and
headed them for the coast.
Admiral Bezobrazoff sent boats to the Sado 10
take off the captain and officers. Captain
Oguro twelve military officers and three Eng
Iishmen In the Japanese service came. The
others refused TO leave the ship The Rus
SLAMS having done everything possible to
the lives of those board, discharged two tor
pedoes against the vessel. A heavy sQuan broke
az that time and hid the sinking transport from
view.
A three masted Japanese cruiser. which the
Russians vainly tried to catch, witnessed the
whole affair. The Russians caught her wireless
messages The apparatus the enemy's
cruiser worked incessantly. and messages were
recorded on board the Russian cruisers and
were translated by some of the Japanese prs-
oners One message read:
'.The Russians are in the strait. Run for
safety

Reports of fighting at Kai-Ping, Hal
Cheng and Liao-Yang lacked definite con-
firmation, but the Russian general staff, I'll,
though denying a general engagement, adj
mitted that the japanese advance from Sim

will not be less than $500.
Admiral Skrydloff sent detailed report
of the operations of the Vladivostok squadron.

Russian warships, but her wireless messages
were intercepted. There were about thou
sand troops on the Hitachi, some of whom es-

A LIA0-YANG SKIRMISH.
Ca0alry ATTACKS Outpost Russian
Losses Increasing.

New-Chwang. June 20 delayed in transmits
sion)-According TO American missionary,
who says he has received the information from
a native source, force of Japanese cavalry
attacked the Russian outposts at Mao-Yang
last Saturday. and the fighting continued on
Sunday.
Faint sounds of firing were heard for several
hours this afternoon in the direction Of Hal
Cheng. Frequent flashes. believed TO have been
from artillery fire. were in that direction
tonight.
St Petersburg. June 21.-The reports OF heavy
fighting at Hai-Cheng denied by the general
staff. The Japanese are continuing to advance
from Siu-Yen. and there continuous
skirnishes between outposts. but no further
advance of General Oku's army has been
ported.
The Russian losses at the battle OF Wafang-
Kao turning out to be heavier as the re-
ports of the various regiments come in. They
placed by conservative official esti-
mate at 1000. but usually well Informed
authority expects the total TO be not less than
6,5o0.

PLAN TO BEAT PARKER.
BRYAN TELLS HIS WAY.
To Fight for a Platform on
Which Judge Can't Run.

The New York Democratic factions which
opposed to the candidacy of Judge Alton r.
Parker for the Presidential nomination spent a
day Of rejoicing yesterday The rousing turnout
at the protest convention" at Cooper Union
Monday night would in itself have been enough
10 put the protestants I'm great good huno-. but
the morning brought further developments.
Before leaving the city William Jennings
Bryan conided to his New-Yor:1 supporters
that he intended to submit; a platform at the
st. Louis convention and that he would proba-
bly, make fight for it. This means the Iiveest
kind of a battle in the committee on resolu-
uons, for the Parker people at work
a platform of their own. There is Il possi-
bility Of concessions being made to Bryan it
said yesterday. which will put a platform
before the convention which Judge Parker
could not run.
There was still another cause for JOY when
it came out that delegation of from fifty 10
seventy-hve prominent New-York Democrats
would go TO St. Louis and protest against the
nomination OF a man who. In their opinion,
could nOt carry his own Stnte. The names of the
members of this delegation will probably be
announced by Judge Samuel Seabury.
II is the matter of the Bryan platform that
is most interesting. Mr. Bryan. head OF the
delegation from Nebraska. will be a member

would make ample compensation
