LAO YANG.-tSpeciall The Rus
sian fleet scored It's first distinct ma,
val success OF the war on May 10 by
the %torpedoing and Gripping, though
not the sinking Of an armored Jap
anese cruiser IN Ta1enwan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10. while the Japan.
csc squadron was concentrated out
side Dainy. devoting its whole atten-
ton to TaIienwan bay, n vas car
ried out the same night.
The attacking craft was not a regu-
lar torpedo boat, but was only a small
naphtha launch in command OF a
young naval officer who had with him
three jackies. The launch mounted a
small machine gun and carried three
t~orpedoes.
When darkness fell, the launch
crept out Of Port Arthur. hugging the
shore, with no lights aboard and no
glow from the engines TO betrsy her
presence. II was late when she gained
the outer line Of tire Japanese squad
ron. Slipping through the torpedo
boat pickets. and selecting the near
est warship. a big armoared cruiser.
she stole toward her and succeeded in
exploding against her side a single
torpedo.
A deafening roar followed the ex-
plosion. which echoed FAR ashore. In
mediately flames enveloped the
cruiser, which evidently was badly
crippled.
The crew OF the cruiser was seen to
be fighting the fire. which they at last
succeeded in extinguishing. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel In tow
and disappeared to the southeast
The launch escaped the hot fire d.
rected against her by the Japanese
ships. but, being unable to return TO
Port Arthur or I get into Dslny. she
was beached not far from Dalny.
Only a few Of the higher officers
were aware OF the plan. the OF
which depended upon secrecy. The
achievement raised the spirits OF the
Russians afloat and ashore, and the
young naval officer who was the hero
Of the exploit was feted and recon
mended for the cross OF st. George.

bending that the presence Of a Japan

genuine surprise that so much OH was
produced here, Looking over the

He was told the Indian department
was waiting for the little ball OF red
tape to unwind. This Is one point all
Eastern men cannot understand.
When the Standard first made the
survey for its territory line. Il thought
all II had 10 do was 10 pay the damage
claimed by the occupants OF claims
and go TO work. The company's OF.
ficials were a very astanished lot O
men when the secretary OF the in.
terror took them by the nape Of the
neck, nguratively speaking. and threw
them out. The department would not
let the Indian assess and collect his
W damage. but insisted that secre.
tary Hitchcock must study over Il five
or six months 10 see n the Indian had
not been cheated by asking twice as
much as the land was worth. Mr..
O'Day told superintendent LatImer
that the company must take more oil
away from Bartlesyiile than Il has
been doing and ordered two more tank
cars put on daily making eleven
which VIII carry about 1000 barrels

also instructed the superintendent 10

AFRAID OF rHg CHINESE.

ST PETERSBuRG--(speciai.l Il
view OF the official dispatches regard
ing the hostile attitude Of the Chimes,
within and without lao Russian sphere
OF influence, the authorities here dt
net conceal their apprehension as "a
the outlook. especially In the north OF
the empire. for they purpose TO call
the attention OF the celestial govern,
ment TO the impending uprising In
Tapadsiatsi in order that r%epressive
measures may be instantly taken.
II is known and appreciated hero
that all the powers have made strong
representations TO Pekin In the inter
est Of the preservation Of the tran
guilty OF the empire, but Il Is stated
that Major General Plugs dispatch OF
May II shows the necessity for further
-impressing the celestial government

charged with a violation Of pledges in

The opinion Of an eminent strate-
gist. given 10 the Associated Press
Sunday. is that the japanese intend to
attack not only Lao Yang. but all
along the line. in an effort 20 drive
General Kuropatkin into Mongolia,
where the Chinese are waiting for

Knowing these conditions. General
Kuropatkin. he said. would not be
likely to make a serious resistance at
Kai Ping or Kai Chenk. but would
Withdraw TO the north.
This would enable the japanese &c
