JAPANESE
CRUISER IS
DESTROYED
Sunken War Vessel
Seen Near Che
mulpO.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEOUL, March u (via Chefu, March
14.-It can now be stated positively
that the Japanese lost one cruiser in
the first naval engagement of the war,
which occurred off the harbor of Che
mulpo. Foreign residents of Chemulpo
who investigated the report that a
Japanese warship, disabled and aban-
doned, was stranded on the beach sew
elal miles from the harbor entrance,
found that it was true. The vessel is
aground in the mud flats, only her
stem and tunnels being above water at
low tide. Apparently she was an un-
armored cruiser of the second class
Some miles to the southwark of this
sunken warship is the hulk of trans
port. which was driven ashore during a
gale while the japanese army was be-
ing transported ID Seoul. It is pre-
sumed that the soldiers aboard the
transport succeeded in reaching shore.
1t was claimed in the official Russian
reports of the Chemulpo engagement
that the cruiser Variag. before she was
blown up by her own captain to pre-
vent her capture by the Japanese, had
succeeded in disabling one Japanese
warship which afterward sank, and it
was declared that the bodies of many
members of the crew had been washed
ashore Since the day of the battle re-
ports have come from various sources
that a sunken Japanese cruiser had
been seen near the entrance to the har-
Dor of Chemulpo.
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-15

LONDON. March 15.-Premature. so
far as the latest reports received this
morning tell US. is the story that Port
Arthur has been either evacuated or
captured by the japanese. At the same
time, judging from dispatches received
from all sources, there seems to be an
impression that the Russians are pre-
pairing for what is the inevitable out
come of Jaoan's complete control OF
the sea. Commenting on the situation
Rear Admiral Ingles. writing in the
Daily Telegraph this morning. says:
1t is perfectly certain to my mind
that the japanese navy has decided
that the caoitulation of Port Arthur
has. become an immediate necessity
Nothing VIII now stop Admiral Togo
unless it is an immediate negative from
the Emperor himself. The capture Of
Port Arthur is, believe. only an affair
of a day, and then the whole coast of
China is entirely in the hands Of the
japanese, 70 do what they like with.
Vladivostok does not count further.
"Details of the naval battle off Port
Arthur have only confirmed me in this
idea. Even now there are probably
mines laid down across the entrance to
the harbor which will prevent the
Novik and the Bayan ever coming out
again. and as the power of the forts
and their supply of ammunition be-
comes less and less. so the Gordon of
ships viii be drawn tighter and tighter"
JAPAN'S OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
The Daily Chronicle, commenting on
the statement that it is Russia's in
tention 10 fall back indefinitely until
she has 100000 troops concentrated for
an advance, to say nothing of 100000
more to watch the Chinese frontier,
says:
That is all very magnificent, but
how about their position when Russia's
army has fallen back indefinitely?
Then, if Port Arthur has not already
given way, It must mean the surrender
OF that place. as well as Newchwang
and Vladivostok, with or without a
struggle. 1t viii probably involve the
surrender of Mukden as well, not to
speak Of Harbin. But the japanese
will hardly need to follow the Rus
sian retirement as far as that With
those points in their hands, with Korea
occupied and the command of the sea
assured, they could calmly await de-
velopments."

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes,August Flower still has the largest sale
o any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration
ar Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food. regulate
the action OF the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose OF Green's August Flower, in liquid
form. to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can get this
