Death of Makaroff Causes Sensation
in Washington.

Washington, April 14.-The news Of
the death of Admiral Makaroff caused
a profound sensation in naval and
military circles here, for he was prob
ably better known than any other Rus
sian naval officer. This was because
of the fact that he had visited the
United States in 1S96-97 and also COM
manded the Russian North Pacific
squadron, which brought him into fire.
uuent contact with American naval
officers in those waters and sometimes
into American ports on the west coast.
The general opinion is that MakaroH
was an officer of singular ability as a
sailor, being thoroughly scientific in
his methods, of more than usual intel.
ligence and of physical presence which
gave him a splendid power of COM
mand.
In the matter of personal bravery he
had no superior.

HAYS ANSWER TO RUSSIA.
Says Americans and Wireless TeIe-

Secretary Hay has replied to the
hussIan announcement that wa,
correspondents who use wireless
telegraphy will be treated as spiss,
His note to Count Cassini, the
Russian Ambassador, was merely
an acknowledgements of the re.
celpt of his communication and
concluded with the statement that
Mr.. Hay reserves the right to free
action IN the event any proceed
Ing by the Russians which involy es
rights of Americans. In no sense
can Hays note be considered an
acqulescence in the Russian policy.
There will be a difference of
opinion in the cabinet as to the
length to which this government
should go in assuming control of
wireless telegraph stations and
there will be lively discussion
when the matter is again taken ND
by the cabinet. Members of the
general board of the navy and the
general staff are urging the admin.
istratlon to adhere to the princi.
pie laid down by Russia, pending
a final settlement of the unestion
by International conference. They
would proceed even further than
Russia has gone, und would have
the government assume control of
all wireless stations in tho coun-
try, even in the time of peace.
They would prevent the erection
ot wireless stations anywhere in
the United States without govern
ment consent.

the fact that the japanese fleet was

of vessels.
