Both Germany and France Begin to

Berlin, May 1.-THE newspapers of

morning journals openly declare that
the Russian cause is lost, one intimat-

an attempt to recover her prestige in
another sphere, evidently meaning
Southern Asia, rather than to continue
the struggle in Manchuria indefinitely.
Paris, May 16.-French confidence
in Russian prowess Is much shaken as
result Of the recent developments
concerning the weakness Of General
}Kuropatkin's land forces.
Military experts of the Figaro and
other leading journals have sought to
demonstrate that Kuropatkin's sue
cess was mathematical certainty on
the grounds that his force was four
times greater than that Of the Japan
ese. But the reports Of the last ten
days have shown a constant shrink

A Report that They Succeeded In
Damaging a Jap Ship.


Liao-yang, May 16.-The Russians
scored their first distinct naval sue
cess by torpedoing and Gripping an
armored Japanese cruiser in Tal1en-
wan bay.
The attacking force was only a
small naphtha launch in command of
young naval officer. who had with
him three tackles. The launch
mounted a small machine gun and
carried three torpedoes. 1t crept out
of Port Arthur, slipped thru the tor
pedo picket line and stole towards the
nearest warship, a big armored
cruiser and succeeded in exploding
against her side single torpedo. A
deafening roar followed the explosion,
which echoed far ashore. Flames en-
veloped the cruiser, which evidently
was badly crippled.
The crew was seen, to be fighting
the fire, which they at last succeeded
in extinguishing. A sister ship took
the damaged vessel in tow and dis
appeared to the southeast.
