CAN SHIPS BE RAISED?
General stoesseI May Have to Sink
Ship to Save Them.

81. Petersburg, Dec. 13.--The state.
ment that the Russian warships at
Port Arthur were sunk by the Rus
slams as q protection from the Japan
csc gun fire is regarded at the adj
miralty as being quite possible. If
true, 1t is interpreted as a sign that
General Stoessel believes the fort
ress can hold out until the arrival of
the second Pacific squadron. The
supp0sition is that the garrison as a
last resort, will retire to the Lilac Tie
forts.
II succor should come, the ships
could be raised. Considering the fact
that Admiral Wlren's orders were to
destroy the ships beyond the posi-
bllity Of salvage Wien all hope had
gone the admiralty has been unable
to understand why they remained at
Port Arthur. The explanation Is
therefore regarded as more reason,
able.

NJ REFUSES TO STATE LOSSES.
The Formal Indictment Voted Against
Mrs. Chadwick is Based On Two
Notes For c2so,ooo and $4,000
Respectively

Cleveland, Dec. 14.-Trouble for
Mrs. Cassie l., Chadwick increased at
a rapid rate today. She was twice in.
dicted by the grand jury Of Cuayhoga
county and her old-tlme friend, Iri
Reynolds, took the stand In court and
made evident his intention to shield
and protect her no longer.
Fhe aged secretary Of the Wade
Park bank presented a pathetic pict-
ure as he answered question after
question which brought out his i'm.
plicit faith In the woman whose fnan-
cial transactions have well nigh ruin
ed him In fortune and caused him
such infinite trouble. He gave evil
dence, too, that he still believes bis
trust was justified. Only one query
he attempted to evade, This was
when he was asked how much Of his
personal estate had passed into the
possession Of MIS-. Chadwick. His eyes
Allied, and he requested that he be ex-
cused from answering. The question
was not pushed.
The formal indictments voted
against Mrs. Chadwick are based, one
on the Carnegie note for $25O,000,
which was made payable at the office
Of Andrew Carnegie, in New York
City, and the other upon the Carnegie
note for 100000, which was payable
at the National Bank Of Commerce Of
New York. Under such indictment
are two counts, one charging forgery,
the other uttering Of forged papers.
Information of the indictments was
at once wired to New York by County
Prosecutor Keller, and he requested
that Mrs. Chadwick be Immediately
re-arrested II she secured bail Oh the
other charges hanging over her.
The examination Of Iri Reynolds,
treasurer and secretary Of the Wade
Park bank, before Referee Remington
in the bankruptcy court today, failed
to disclose any asset that might be Sc
cured by Receiver Loeser, appointed
by the federal court, but brought from
Mr.. Reynolds, in reply to questions:
She told me she was the illegltimate
daughter Of Andrew Carnegie"
Later Mr.. Reynolds, in detailing his
transactions with Mrs. Chadwick,
said:
In all my transactions with Mrs.
Chadwick believed from what she
told me that Andrew Carnegie was
backing her and all her Indebtedness
would be paid"
He then added: "And | have not
had anything yet to make me doubt
it."

Kuropatkin gave an order for the
manufacture Of a Russian sword for

before Togo's guns opened fire upon
