RUSSIANS DON'T
USE FLOAT TING MINES

st. Petersburg, May. &c. Q:45 p. nj
A high authority at the admiralty said
to the correspondent Of the Associated
Press today.
1T Is false TO assert that the Rus
SLAMS use floating mines. They are not
known IN the Russian naval service.
The japanese use them constantly OFF
Port Arthur setting numbers anoat
near the entrance, An the Russian
mines are anchored but the action of
the Japanese In dragging for them is
responsible If they get aaoat. Such
mines are readily assemble In day
time and are dangerous only at night.
The three-mile limit is an adsurdity
as Whitehead torpedo can travel four
miles,
This authority. while not committing
himself absolutely, strongly ntimates
that the Japanese batUeship Hatsuse
was destroyed by "A torpedo fired from
a submarine boat.
1t is now established that n submar-
Inc boat Of the Drezwicke type was at
Port Arthur before the outbreak Of the
war.
