St. Petersburg. April 13.--A naval battle Is progressing of Port Arthur, the result of which is not yet known. The Japanese fleet, including torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers. to- tais forty. Vice Admiral Makaroff ordered his whole squadron out of the harbor to meet the attack.
 According to the Associated Press informant while preparing to draw up his line of battle in outer road stead, the Petropavlovsk struck a mine on her starboard side, amidship. and immediately began to heel Be- fore the crew could flood the port com- partments of the vessel in order to keep her on an even keel she turned turtle and sank in few minutes, car rying down almost the entire crew. Captain N. Jakovloff, the Grand Duke Cyril and two other officers were sav- ed because they were standing on the upper bridge. The frightful loss of life among the officers and men was due to the fact that they all were at their stations ready for action.
 The Petropavlovsk turned turtle in manner similar to the British battle ship Victoria, which was rammed by the Camperdown in 1893. and to the incident in the Chinas Japanese war. when a Chinese warship turned turtle, many of the crew remaining alive for several days. hammering desperately on the upturned hull. When the news of Grand Duke Cyrifs miraculous es- cape reached his parents here a Te Deum service was held at the Vladimir palace.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press was informed this afternoon that Grand Duke Boris was going to accompany his brother to Mukden. According to the advices received Grand Duke cyrils injuries were slight,
 Regarding the disaster at Port Ar thur, the Grand Duke Cyril reported the battIeship Petropavlovsk. sunk and the latest report being that Vice Admiral Makaroff was killed.
 The reports are conflicting as to whether the catastrophe was the re- suit of a fight. with the enemy or due to the Petropavlovsk striking a mine in harbor. The report that there had been a fight seems to have originated paviovsk could not have sustained such injuries otherwise.
 It was also pointed out that 1t was known that the Japanese had been towering in the neighborhood for sew eral days.
 Later 1t became known that the first telegram received by Grand Duke Vladimir said briefly that Grand Duke Cyril had been wounded and that the PetropavIovsk had been lost without mentioning q fight.
 The reports agree In two statements: That Grand Duke Cyril, between whom and the throne there IS only a single life, was wounded. and that the Pee trppavloxah WAS lost

l. MAKARoFF A HERO.
His Death Mourned by the English
 Press.

Press.
 London, April 1A--The late vice-Adnii-
 ral Makaroff spoke English fiuently and
 was well known in England. especially in
 the Newcastle on Tyne district, where he resided while the Armstrongs were buifd- ing his Ice breaker, the Yermak. Hts courtesy and social qualities made him very popular and the editorials in
 this mornings newspapers deplore his
 loss with genuine sympathy, paying trib-
 utes of admiration to the way he met a heros death in carrying out his own off, cial expressed wish s'that he who wished to insure victory should determine eith- CT to conquer or to die."
 As emphasizing the tragedy of the Adj miral's fate, 1t is recalled that the Ques- ton of saving lives on warships that had been torpedoed had been matter of pro- found study with him. The editorials alsc extend sympathy to the Russian na- Etion in ths seT4es of inisfortunes which IlsAv8 pursued the navy. and Comment on | the enormous advantage this catastr0- phe gives to Japan even if, as is believed.
 the Russian disaster Ia not worse than reported in the official dispatches. No actual news has reached London be, yond the Russian official telegrams. but dispatches from Wei Hal Wei induce the confident belief here that a naval en- gaeement occurred of Port Arthur of a
 severe character and that later telegrams
 will show that the Russians suffered 8
 severer loss than Is yet admitted. Nothing in the way of news has been re- ceived from the Japanese side. but rumor has reached Rome that Vice-Ad- miral MakarofPs squadron was attacked ! by the Japanese fleet concealed behind the | Mao Kaio islands (Miatotao islands) and his retreat was cut of and he was forced | to fight against odds. with the result thai all his ships were damaged, while the Petropavlovsk was surrounded by torpedo
 boats, struck by i've torpedoes and blown
 up. Another rumor is to the effect that Rear Admiral Molas is among those
 killed aboard the Petropavlovsk. Nc great attention ia paid to these rumors. but the explanations of the disaster are
 unsatisfactory
 It is reported at Plymouth that the
 Hamburg American steamer Deutschland,
 which arrived at Cherbourg yesterday

LOSS OF ADMIRAL MAKAROFF
 STUNS ENTIRE RUSSIAN NATION

\ miral Makaroff was not anxious to re- sign his command of Cronstadt to so to the Far East, this necessitating hts leav- ing his wife and family but the Em- peror neld such a high opinion of nln, that he declined to consider other can didates. although 1t was pointed out that Rear Admiral Rojestvensky, chief of the general stan of the navy, who has just been appointed to command the Baltic squadron, gnd who is now destined to succeed Makaroff. as well as others, were anxious to distinguish themselves.
 By imperial command requiem ser vice will be celebrated at the admiralty church at noon tomorrow for the Em- peror's favorite admiral.
 Tonight the grief stricken widow. ac- ccrding to the Russian custom. had a requiem service celebrated at her resi- dence. She had been much worried over the health of her husband, who suffered from diabetes. reference to which was made in recent telegram from the ad- mIral in which he said he was compelled to disobey orders as to taking regular sleep.
 Goes After the Duke Cyril.
 Count Grabbe, aide de camp to Grand Duke Vladimir, will leave toraorrow to bring the Grand Duke Cyril home Noth- ing Is known of the character of the Grand Dukes injuries.
 There is 6 romantic story connected with the Grand Duke Cyrirs anxiety to go to the front. He wanted to win his spurs and then marry the woman with whom he Is very much in love. The match was opposed by his parents and also by the czar.
 It is an open secret that the Grand Dukes lady love Is his cousin, the di- vorced wife of the Grand Duke of Hesse, and a daughter of the late Duke of Saxe- Coburg and Gotha, who married sister Of Alexander III.

Admiral Barker'S Report.
 Washington, April 13.-A full report of the Missouri disaster has reached the Navy Department from Admiral Barker. It says that twenty-four men and five officers were killed outright by an ex- plosion of the 12-inch gun in the after turret and that two men probably will die. It is believed that the explosion was due to a back fire.
 Admiral Barker's despatch read as fol- lows:

 Navy Department Stunned.
 Washington, April 13.-The entire Navy Department is stunned by the appalling catastrophe. The bureau of navigation has been active since the first news of the accident reached here shortly after { o'clock Although the commanding officer of the Missouri, Captain W. s. Cowles. as soon as he arrived at Pensacola, sent dispatches to the nearest of kin of all the men killed, the Department also is send ing out these announcements so that mere may be no mistake. With only the orief dispatch from Admiral Parker tell ing now the accident occurred all the of ncials Of the Department hesitate to make an explanation of it. The fact however. that three rounds had been nred and another shell had been seated and two sections of powder rammed home when the explosion occurred, in the opin- ion of an official of the Department would lead to- the inference that the accident might have been caused by some powder from the previous charges, which re- mained in the gun when the third charge was put In.
 It can be stated that oficiaIs of the Department for more than a week past. while rejoicing in the world-breakIne rec ords in target practice on our warshlps have feared just such an accident as has

 Pensacola, April 1S The body of one poor man was blown into the gulf and was not recovered. It was stated that the concussion lifted this body a distance of 200 feet.
 Everybody on the after deck were hurled into eternity in the space of flash. The Missouri had been at anchor in the bay for the past two weeks. Tn the latter part of last week she was or. dered to the Gulf for target practice. The ship had been at this work for two days and at 10:50 o'clock this morning the horrible accident occurred. At the time the battleship was about nineteen miles from Pensacola. The report first came to the flagship Kearsage and was received at noon. It is stated that an explosion had taken place and at first 1t was stated that but ten men had been killed. Later a second message was re- ceived by the wireless telegraph that the number would be more than three times the original figures. Admiral Barker on the Kearsage commanded that the Nils
