POsToFFICE INVESTIGATION
Matter is Discussed at Washington But
Not Yet Fully Decided-Presi-

Washington, April IA proposal to
pass resolution for postotfice investi-
CATION has been discussed by some of
the Republican members of the senate
committee OH postOffices and post
roads, though determination for such
en- inquiry has not been fully decided
upon by the Republican leaders. The
resolution which has been suggested
provides for subcommittee of the
senate postoffice committee to sit dur
ing recess of congress and investigate
specific charges.
The president is said to believe that
the investigation conducted by the de-
partment officials was thorough and
searching, and that any further inves-
tigation by committee of congress or
by a commission from the outside, COW
ering the same ground. would be prac-
tically fruitless; but he is rot inclined

st. Petersburg Refuses to Believe the Japs
Sunk the Cars Ship.
st. Petersburg, April 15.-Rear ADJ
niral Trims statement that Vice Adj
niral Togo's fleet was responsible for
the sinking of the battleship Petro-
pavlovsk. at Port Arthur is officially
denied here. A member of the gener-
al staff informs the Associated Press
that the advices received do not show
that naval engagement took place
unless the cornering and sinking of the
torpedo boat destroyer Bezstrashni
can be so denominated.
The destroyerand four consorts were
outside scouting during the night. The
Bezstrashni Jagged behind and be-
came lost in the mist. When day
broke she tried TO creep in along the
coast, but was discovered, cut off. over
powered and sunk. only five Of her
crew escaping. The fate OF the other
members Of the crew is unknown, al
though it is believed that some of them
may have been captured.
That the Petr0paviOvsk was blown
up by mine placed at the entrance to
the haTbor to prevent the blocking of
the channel is the opinion entertained
by the general staff. 1t is true that the
vessel sank in full view of Vice Ad-
miral Togo's fleet. which was seen on
the horizon, hut her loss was not
caused through the agency of that feet.
There is disposition, however, to raise
controversy as to whether the explo-
zion occurred inside or outside she bat
tleship, similar to the controversy
which followed the destruction Of the
Maine I'm Havana harbor.
The fact that many Of the wounded,
Including Grand Duke Cyril, were
badly burned seemed to support the
theory of an internal explosion. The
first dispatch received from Rear Ad-
miral Grigorevitch, commandment at
Port Arthur, distinctly stated that the
ship sruck mine, but Rear Admiral
Prince Ouktomsky's telegram refers
only to an explosion
