JAP CRUIsD TOgl,.ss EDOED . RusSf Success in Talien Wan Bay. YOUNG OFFICER A HERO Launch Evades Picket Boats
 of the Enemy. First Naval Achievement of the Rus- sians since the Besinni.E of the
 war-The Vessel Crippled,
 But Net Sunk.

Liao Yang, Saturday. May 4. Delay cd in transmission. .)--The Russian feet scored It's first naval success of the war May 10 by the torpedoing and crippling, though not the sinking, of an armored Japanese cruiser in Fallen Wan Bay. The Russian attack was carefully planned May 10, while the Japanese squadron was concentrated outside Dalny. devoting It's whole attention to Talien Wan Bay, and was carried out the same night.
 The attacking force was not a regu- lar torpedo boat, but was only a small naptha launch in charge of a young naval officer who had with him three Jackfes. The launch mounted a small machine gun and carried three torpe- does.
 When darkness fell, the launch crept out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore, with no lights aboard and no glow from the engines to betray her pres ence. It was late when she gained the outer line of the Japanese squad ron. Slipping through the torpedo boat pickets and selecting the nearest warship, a big armored cruiser, she stole toward her and succeeded in ex- ploding against her side single tor pedo. A deafening roar followed the explosion, which echoed far ashore. Im- mediateIy flames enveloped the cruiser which evidently was badly crippled
 The crew Of the cruiser was seen to be lighting the fire, which they at last succeeded in extinguishing. sister ship took the damaged vessel in tow and disappeared to the southeast.
 The launch escaped the hot fire di- rected against her by the Japanese ships, but being unable to return to Fort Arthur or to get into Dalny, she was beached not far from Dalny
 Only a few of the higher officers were aware of the plan, the success of which depended upon the secrecy. The achieyement raised the spirits of the Russiafsa Aafloats and ashore, and the young naval of1cer who was the hero of the exploit was feted and recom- mended for the Cross of St. George :. The Russians, May II, apprehendinR that the presence of a Japanese squad ron meant an attempt to capture Dalny blew up the piers and quietly evacu- ated the place.
 Two thousand Japanese havo recap tured the road to Sanchilipou. again cutting off Port Arthur. A strong force is advancing against Polandien.

AUSTRIA MADE UNEASY.
Enormous Budget Demands of the
 Government.

Vienna, May 15.-The enormous budget demands for the army and navy (carrying a total of $51, ,z0O) have caused the utmost bewilderment among all parties in both halves of the mon archy, more especially since the ru- mors of such forthcoming demands were consistently denied in official quarters.
 Although the rumors fell far short of the amount of the actual demands. nobody is able to understand the gov ernment's sudden desire to hasten the completion of the military program which had been planned to extend over several years. but 1t Is supposed that the experiences of the Russo-Japanese campaign are not unconnected there with. The newspapers. however, can not find in this sufficient ground for the governments demand and comment up- on the inopportuneness of such action when the country is suffering from ag- ricuItural and commercial depression. The explanations of Count Goluchow- ski, the Foreign Minister, and General Won Pllreich. the Minister of War, are awaited with great anxiety. The bourse yesterday strongly reflected the uneasy feeling.

LONDON STOCK MARKET.

Americans Fail to Share in the Ad-
 vances of the Week.
 London, May 15.-The feature of the week in the stock exchange has been the great strength of all the high class securities and events generally have been favorable to the markets.
 It Is believed that Japan could easily place another loan as the present issue has contributed to the confident feeling which has been generally assisted by the signing of the convention with the Chi- nese Government for supply of labor in South Africa.
 Most of the markets participated in the rise in prices. but the American section proved an exception. The unfavorable influence affecting Wall Street, the gold exports and the unsatisfactory crop re- ports had a weakening influence here. Mexican railroad issues attracted great attention and there was a substantial rise on the announcement of dividends.

RED CROSS PROPERTY.
Miss Barton Transfers Title Which
She Held IN Her O1cn Name.
rFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, June 2-Of1ciaI record was made
yesterday Of the transfer by Miss Clara Barton
to Charles A Baker and Samuel ". Briggs, in
trust for the use and benefit of the American
National Red Cross" OF four building lots in
this city. for a consideration Of SO. The actual
value Of the lots is estimated to be approx
mately $4,000. This transfer is cited by the
remonstrants IN proof Of their contention that
the affairs of the Red Cross have been managed
on anything but & business basis. It is also
pointed to by the friends OF Miss Barton
proving the absolute rectitude of the woman
who has so long been president of the associa-
ton.
The facts appear to be as follows: Some years
ago Miss Barton had in hand a balance from
the Johnstown flood relief fund Having no
immediate use for the balance. she determined
to invest it in real estate. and selected the lots
now transferred to trustees of the Red Croe3.
She relates that the balance was insufficient TO
pay for the lots, and she supplied the defcel&
from her own purse. having the lots decided to
herself No record Of the transaction ever ap-
peared on the books of the association. and had
Miss Barton died the property would inevitably
have been regarded as part OF her estate, al
though such would not, of course. have been her
intention. No mention Of this property was
made in the four reports since made TO Con-
gress purporting to exhibit the assets of the
organization.
When Miss Barton resigned the presidency
she promptly transferred the property to the
Red Cross, although there was no evidence that
it did not rightfully belong 10 her The property
has doubled IN value several times since the
purchase was made, stone quarry having been
developed thereon, and its present value largely
accounts for the discrepancy between the assets
or the Red Cross, as shown by its hooks. and
as indicated by Miss Barton in her valedictory
II is admitted by Miss Barton's friends that she
never appreciated the necessity Of separating
her personal accounts from those of the So
clety, and 10 that fact IS due much of the con-
fusion which now charaCterizes the Red Cross
accounts.
Ex-Secretary OF State John W. Foster is be-
ing mentioned for the presidency Of the re-
organized Red Cross Admiral Dewey has been
asked TO go on the new board OF trustees, and
General Miles Will probably be a member hut
no information regarding the personnel of the
remaining ten members is yet available.
