Russian Scouts Active.

Seoul, April 17.-d D. m.)-Further re- ports received here from Sung Jin de- clare that thirty-three Russian soldiers are within thirty miles of that place and that the Japanese consul and residents left there on a steamship for Gen San yesterday. Sung Jin Is a small port on the east coast of Korea, about 150 miles northeast of Gen San and about the same distance southwest of the mouth of the Tumen river which marks the north easern boundary between Korea and Manchuria.
 The rumors that 5000 Russians are fol- lowing this advaf.ce If 33 men continue it is declared that they intend to divert the Japanese from the Yalu river. These statements, however, are discredited be- cause It V vould be quite possible for the Japanese to effect a landing near Sung Jin and cut off these troops. There arc two English missionaries at Sung Jin, but 1t is not known whether or not they have left the rsilroad are not. but they are not believed to be in danger.

Togo is Congratulated Officially by the Minister of Marine on His Lat est Achievement at Port
 Arthur

St. Petersburg, April 17-"Notwithstand- ing Vice Admiral Togos claim that mines laid by his vessels were responsible for the disaster to the Petropavlovsk, k, v said high naval authority, who Is in a positon to have access to all govern ment reports to the Associated Press. T am more than ever convinced that the Petropavlovsk and the Pobieda did not strike Japanese mines. Each ship was struck under the hull amidship, while a mine would have exploded on first con- tact near the bows.
 "1 he fact that in both cases the ships were struck amdships might warrant the acceptance of the theory regarding sub marine vest els, although personally l do not hold that idea. The Pobieda prob ably escaped the fate of the PetropavlovslS by the fact that she carried coal in her bunkers between the bottom and her boilers, which moreover are of the Bell vile type whereas the boilers of the Petloravlovsk were of Scotch make and were not protected by her bunkers.'
 Believes Japs Did 1t.
 Che of the shrewdest naval attaches at St. Petersburg told the Associated Press that he believed the Japanese laid the mir e which were responsible for the dis aster pointing out that this was one of the eldest systems of blockading when slips did not dare to run the risk of en- tering under an enemy's gun. The at taeLe said he thought they would do this whei he noticed that the Japanese fleet al~ays made a wide detour of the en- trance.
 It is also significant that Chinese junks have been reported as cruising off the harbor, and 1t is considered possible that the Japanese kept these junks there sys- tematically in order to throw the Rus sians off their guard
 Captain Crown, who went down with the Petropavlovsk joined that ship on the previous day, having succeeded in get ting trough from Shanghai, where he left his vessel, the gunboat Mandjur. Captain Crown was a descendent of a Scotchman who fought with Russia in the war with Sweden, when he captured the first Retvizan.

Togo is Congratulated.

Tokio, April r, 1 p. m.-Admiral Am aomto, the minister of marine, sent the following message to Vice Admiral Togo today:
 'I am delighted over the success of the eighth attack on Port Arthur. The result was splendid, and while 1t is attributed to the emperor's ilustrious virtue the loyal and gallant action of the officers and men of the fleet played a conspicu- ous part. Their behavior leaves nothing to regret. 1 tender my congratulations to you and the officers and men in your com mand, and I hope that the same noble dis charge of duties will be continued while the present great problem lies before us.
 "The goal is yet distant. Take the best care of yourselves in order that you all may be enabled to finish the great work expected of you"
