Japanese Troops in Korea Suffering
Strange Maiadies.

ST. Petersburg, April 1S.-According
to the reports of spies, the Japanese
troops in Korea have been ravaged by
various diseases. One of these dis
eases, called "imbion," is a kind Of in
termittent typhus. Another, called
"souda," which has not yet been
studied by European doctors, pro-
duces premature senility. The pa

JAPANESE ARE ELATED.
Proud Of the Achievements Of Vice I'd

Proud Of the Achievements OF Vice I'd
miral Togo.
Toxic, April 1S.-The Japanese are
elated over the successes they have
won at Port Arthur. They are also
proud Of the achievements of Vice Adj
miral Togo, particularly of his newest
strategy of countermintng the enemy's
harbor and decoying him across this
field Of mines to an equally dangerous
flank attack.
The success of the system of placing
deadly countermines Is due largely TO
a series Of careful observations made
by the japanese during their previous
attacks on Port Arthur. The Japa-
nese saw the Russian fleet leave the
harbor and return to it several times
and they discovered that the Russian
warships followed an identical course
every time they came out or went IN,
evidently for the purpose of avoiding
their W mines. The Japanese took
| bearings on this course. When the
| destroyer divisions of the Japanese
torpedo aotilla laid the countermines
during the night of April 1918. they
placed them along this course. The
laying of these countermines are ex-
| c~eedingly perilous because II any
Japanese boat with mines on board
had been struck by a lucky Russian
shot she would have been annihilated.
Weather Favored the Work.
The weather Of the night of April
1918 favored the work. There was q

field of mines. His squadron consist
ed of the cruisers Chitose, Yoshino
Kasagi and Takasago, all unarmored
vessels, which presented a tempting
bait for the heavier Russian ships.
Vice Admiral Togo directed the
flank attack. He had the battleships
Hatsuse, Mikasa, Asahi, Shikishima.
Yoshima and Full. He waited thirty
miles out at sea until Rear Admiral
Dewa signalled him by wireless tele'
graphy to come in. His vessels then
dashed at full speed toward the en-
trance of the harbor. All the battle
ships under Vice Admiral Togo are
capable of a speed of eighteen knots
and they quickly covered the dis
lance. 1t is not clear what warned the
i Russians that they had been trapped
but they retreated precipitately to thu
harbor. Vice Admiral Togo did no
succeed In preventing the Russians
from entering, but did force them to
disastrous retreat, which ended in tn
destruction of the Petropavlovsk AM
the disabling of the Pobieda. Afte
these occurrences the cruisers Nisshi1
and Kasuga were used to bombar'
