A BELATED STORY.

Port Arthur, April 15.-An engage
ment occurred at Port Arthur Wedncs-
day morning between seven Russian
torpedo boats and the cruiser Bayan
and the Japanese vessels. The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Bezstrashni was
sunk. The five torpedo boat destroyers
with the Bayan returned at a. m.
The battleships Detropavlovsk, Potsieda
and Peresviet, and the torpedo gun
boat Gaydamak then put to sea. At

The Weakened Condition of the Rus
SLAMS ct Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg, April 15.-There are
now only two Tndamaged batileships,
the Peresviet and the Sevastopol in
the harbor of Pert Arthur but some of
the damaged vessels have been repair
ed. The effective vC-seIs are the ar
mOred cruisers AsEold and Diana, the
second class cruiser Novik, the torpedo
gunbOats Vzadnik and GayGamak. The
gunboats Gremiaschi OvashnigilIak and
BCbr, the cruisers DjidjiI, Razboynik,
Zeabin, and several torpedo beat de-
strOyers. Altogether ten Russian YES
sells have been damaged or lost since
the out tbreak of the war.
Wednesdays disaster ends the hope
that the Port Arthur squadron will be
able to become an aggressive factor in
the operations before it is reinforced
by the arrival of the Baltic fleet. Until
then the aim Of the Russians wiz be
to mold Port Arthur and concentrate
the remaining ships within the protec-
tiOn OF its guns. Temporarily, faith
of success at sea died with Makaroff.
The Russian people now look to the
army. 1t would not be surprising if
the japanese now attempt to invest the
fortress of Port Arthur by land.
Captain Jakovleff is still alive but
his condition is critical. Viceroy Alex
Jeff who was at Mukdea when the dis
aster occurred proceeded promptly to
Port Arthur to personally assume tenn
pOrary command of the naval forces
there. He reached his destination last
night. His presence is expected TO
put an end to the Generalization there.
This evening Prince Calitzine repeated
the assurance to the Associated Press
that Grand Duke Cyril is better and
with his brother Boris IS at the head
quarters al Lao Yang. The fever has
almost disappeared.
The admiralty received information
that Vereschagin. the celebrated paint
ter OF battle scenes was among those
lost in the sinking Of the Petropav-
!ovsk. The fate of Nicholas Kravt-
cheRko, the well known Russian liter
ary mar who WAS acting as CORES

Capt. -Vasilief belonging to the ship,
Makaroff. fourteen members of the
staff including Rear Admiral Molas,
chief of staff and Lieut.. Kobe, aide de
camp to Grard Duke Cyril.
The wife Of Captain Jakovleff. COM
mander Of the Petropavlovsk, has re-
ceived a telegram from Rear Admiral
Grigorevich, cOmmcndant at Port Ar

wounded in the head and had several
ribs broken. He was unconscious un-

THERE WE'RE TWO SLIDES.

San Francisco, Cal, April 15.-At the
Offices of the Southern Pacific company
in this city it was stated that the in
terruption CT traffic on the Oregon line
was caused by two landslides near the
east emo of tunnel No. 13, not far from
Sislliyou station. The first slide
covered the track to a depth of eight
feet for Il distance about 200 feet. Tie
second slide was at the> same place and
was fifty feet long. The material
which slid down the mountain was
mostly soft earth and snow, requiring
considerable time for it's removal. All
the trains were stopped at the OBJ
struction and traffic was considerably
delayed. 1t was decided today that
the delayed trains would be moving

which, he said, represented S1.5O0. 0OA
as result of the presidents recent or
der regarding age disability and asked
If there was proper authority of the
law to pay these pensions under that
order. Mr.. Underwood said the re-
publicans were undertaking to sustain
the order of senility issued by Clcve-
land.
'If Cleveland was right" said Mr.
Hemenway, 1--WE would have to retire
some of cur distinguished gentlemen
from public lifa.''
After remarking that the democrats
were not attempting to sustain Cleve-
lands order, Mr.. Underwood asserted
that he had long repudiated the ex-
president on the proposition and some
others and he said he desired the re-
publican party to repudiate these gentle
men of the present administration that
have got in Company with Mr. Clevn-

A PROFOUND EVENT.
New Chwang Still Lacking in Details
C the Disaster.

New Chwang, April I5.-The sinking
OF the Russian battleship Petropav-
lovsk and attendant great loss of life
at Port Arthur, is regarded here as the
most profound event of the present
war. The news has apparently made
most pronounced impression upon
all foreigners in the war zone. The
date of the catastrophe and official in
formation concering it are not yet OBJ
tainable here, and there is much spec
ulation as to how it happened. There
are in circulation uncertain rumOrs
of a Japanese attack on Port Arthur
last Sunday, but the rumors are with
out confirmation ard are denied by
some Russian officials. Communication
with Port Arthur, as well as other cen
ters, is substantially closed.
About a score Of press cores spondents
now are in New Chwang and were to-
day informed of the Willingness Of
Viceroy AleXieff to admit them to the
Russian lines under regulations which
apparently will govern all branches of
their conduct.

of the leading British newspaper cor

the wireless telegraph for transmitting
their war news. They will appeal to
their government to define their status.

have been served by Russia on other
