JAPANESE NAVAL PLANS.

A naval service organ here argues
lengthily that the present Japanese
naval disposition presages a movement
on a large scale in the sea of Japan.
The paper accounts for all the Japa-
nese ships, reckoning the battleships
Full and Shikishima, the armored
cruisers Iwate and Asama and the pro-
tected cruiser Takachiho as being in
iured.
There is no truth in the reports that
the Japanese fleet bombarded Vladi-
vostok all day yesterday. According
to the latest information the fleet
simply showed itself and sailed away
without firing a gun. One reason ad-
vanced here for the appearance of the
Japanese in northern waters is their
probable desire to regain possession of
the island of Saghalien, which was
ceded to Russia by Japan. 1t is point
ed out that the whole of Northern
Japan will be threatened with famine
if the food supply derived from the
island of Saghalien fisheries is cut off
Nine-tenths of the exports go to Japan;
in addition to which Japanese boats
have been carrying on piratical fishing
along the coast, which has exhausted
the fish supply of the Amur estuary
The native tribes there are suffering
from hunger and typhus. The Rus
sian Government will prepare gun
boat fotilla on the Amur to provide
protection to the fisheries as soon as
the river is free from ice.

ST. PETERSBURG, March S.-Much
earlier than originally stated, General
Kuropatldn will start on Sunday next
for the seat of war. He will make his
headquarters at Mukden, whereas Vice
roy Alexieff will reside at Harbin.
The accelerated departure of General
Kuropatkin denotes that the mobiliza-
tion of Russian troops has proceeded
much more rapidly than was expected,
and also that the Japanese intention to
precipitate conflict is fully realized.
1t is estimated that General Kuro-
patIdn can reach Mukden in about f1f-
teen days.
Two German officers who are going
out as war correspondents applied to
General Kuropatkin to go with him. He
refused, saying that he could not at
tend to such matters now, but that he
would meet them at Mukden and there
Eve a decision on their application. 1
mention this incident because it has
been distorted into a refusal to allow
German attaches to go to the front.
The Emperor has just assented to
the formation of a volunteer corps of
1000 men. consisting of Bulgarians.
Montenegrins and Servians, TO go to
the front, but on condition that they
must be thoroughly qualified in every
respect for hard service and be sec
onded by their own armies.
CYRIL NEARS THE FRONT.
The Grand Duke Cyril telegraphs
that he has passed Lake Baikal. The
Emperor has sanctioned Prince Napo-
leon, who is here and who is a son of
Achilles Murat, going to the fighting
lines.
A number of experienced Vladivo-
stok pilots have been accepted as ad-
miralty lieutenants aboard warships.
The special Tibetan mission, which
should have reached here little while
ago, has notified the Government that
it will postpone it's visit to a more suit
able time.
The Glyn Mills Currie Company and
London bankers have sent $3.50 to the
Red Cross. On all sides l hear favor
able comments on England's newly ap-
pointed ambassador, Sir Charles
Harding. Altogether there is a wave
of peace and good will in political re-
lations with all nations except Japan.
Although the Japanese squadron now
off Vladivostok is superior to the Russian
squadron in numbers and guns, consist
ing of a battleship and four armored
cruisers, two of which are believed to
be the Idzuma and the Yakumo, and
two unarmored cruisers, the four
armored cruisers under Captain Reit-
zenstein-the Rossiay, Gromoboi, Rurik
and Bogatyr-are among the finest yes
sells in the Russian navy, constituting
as sister ships a homogeneous fighting
unit, and experts here are not certain
that they could not take the measure
of Rear Admiral Urius ships.

covered the dark outline OF the boats
of his friends lying in the shadow Of the
island shore. To the south he saw an
other line OF dark shadows which he
knew was the fotIlla of reinforcements.
He could not account for this except an
unforeseen delay which often attends
the organization of forces.
One thing he did know, and that was
that he would never take the soldiers
where they could interfere with his
friends SO long as be could avoid it.
Suddenly fishing boat was discover
ed in front of the vessel. The occupant
of the little craft was waving an oar
frantically overhead to attract the pilot.
He signalled the engineer to reverse the
the lever and the wheel began to pull
back against the current which was
taking the boat rapidly toward the
ocean.
The officers down stairs rushed upon

coming to halt. They soon discovered
the figure in the fishing boat and went
to the point where the email craft was
about to collide with the larger boat.
With an ease brought about by years
of experience on the water the figure in
the small boat guided the little craft
along the larger vessel, and the two
came together without scarcely jar.
A rope ladder was thrown over the
side Of the vessel and the form left the
fishing boat and gIided up the frail stair
way like shadow.
"Why, it's woman--a girl!' said
Cuptain Budlong as she stepped on the
deck.
"Yes, it is Sankala! ~ said the Sheriff
as he recognized the girl.
