TWO JAP CRUISERS CHASED BY RUSSIA Captain Hill Describes Incident
 in Red Sea JUST REF URNS FROM JAPAN Says Every Man on Japanese War ships From Bridge to Stoke
 hold Is a Native
 Jap.
JUST RETURNS FROM JAPAN

Victoria, B. C., March 1o.-The Northern Pacific liner Olympia arrived from Yoko- hama today. Among her passengers was Captain Hill. who brought the Japanese cruiser Nichin from Genoa to Yokohama. and he gives a most interesting account of the trip, which included race with the Russian cruiser Aurora in the Red sea, and the escape of the Nishin and Ka- suga from possible capture by the Rus sian squadron.
 Captain Hill says that when the two Japanese cruisers got through the Suez canal. they were closely followed by the Russian squadron which was evidently trying hard to keep in close touch with them The Aurora, which enjoys the repu- tation of being one of the fastest ves- sells afioat, attempted to overhaul the two cruisers, which however, put on more steam and ran away from her with the greatest ease. From the firing up done on the Aurora, 1t was evident that she meant business. Captain Hill had long conversation with the Japanese ad- mirals when in Japan shortly before leav- ing, and they told him that the main ob- ject of the Japanese operations at Port Arthur was to capture the place at any cost. They were confident of their ability to do this at any time.
 Will Reduce Port Arthur.
 No effort, the Japanese naval minister assured Captain Hill. would be spared to reduce Port Arthur as quickly as possible. It would then be refortified by the Jap anese. who would remain there instead of following the Russians into the wilds of northern Manchuria or Sibetria. The in- tention alos is to reduce Vladivostock as soon as the ice goes out.
 In reply to the questoin as to whether the superb craftsmanship of the Japanese warsfips was due to the presence of Brit ish or Amercan gunners abord, Captain Hill said most emphatically that not white man Is employed on any Japanese warship in any capacity whatsoever. From the bridge to the stokehold every man is Japanese
 Regarding the foreign correspondents in Japan, Captain Hill said that the feeling among them was intense. They were in despair at the reticenee of the govern ment. and people had found 1t impossible to obtain even a scrap of authentic news.
