When the Bogatyr, $3.50 tons, went
on the rocks month ago the Russian
squadron i'll Vladivostok was reduced
TO three armored cruisers, the Rossia,
12,13O tons, 20 knots speed, with four
S-inch, sixteen 6-inch, twelve 3-inch
guns; the Gromoboi, 1886 tons, 20
knots speed, carrying four S-inch. six

3-inch guns, and the Rurik, 1923 tons,
1871 knots, with main battery of four
S-inch. sixteen 6-inch, six 4.7-inch
rifles. The three made up a formid-
able aggregation of warships, combin-
ing as they did speed, greater armor-
ed protection than any except first
class battleships. and large batteries
of medium size guns.
The three big ships crept out of Via
divostok, presumably at night, when
they would be less liable to observa-
ton. BY. dawn they were 100 miles
out to sea and heading south for the
Korean straits, which all japanese
ships carrying stores for the armies
in the field must cross.
Wednesday morning, June Is, at
a. m, off Xxi Island, the Rossia and

situation gradually settled itself to the

Argentina Gives Promise OF Becoming
Great Country.
The trade of Argentina is developing
in a way that promises bright future
for this South American republic. Last
year the foreign trade of the country
increased % per cent, while in ten years
the increase was so per cent.
Argentina has only 100000 inhabit-
ants, though the country can easily sup
port 75,000.OO0. The population is 80
per cent of white extraction. The revo-
lutionary troubles that have arrested
progress in the past appear to be over
and signs Of prosperity and progress are
to be seen on every side. Money is
abundant; wages are good for South
America; the railroads are prosperous,
and there is an enormous acreage of
good land available for cultivation. Hum
dreds of individual men in every State
or province own each from 75 to 800
square miles of land, which is not a
good feature of the situation, providing
there is demand for this land. But
apparently there is not. This land will
be divided into small holdings in time;
but immigration is slow. This is in part
due to troubles in the past, and to the
unfavorable conditions of taxes and land
purchase in the interior. The govern
ment will have to reform that condition
of things to induce immigration.

extraordinary contradictions. In some
cases the greatest kindness has been

worse. One case is cited in which the
japanese during the fighting, seeing the
Russian wounded on the field, sent Chi
