RUSSIAN DESTR0YERS
WENT AGAINST MINES.
One Sunk and Another Damaged in

One Sunk and Another Damaged in
Clearing Channel.
Toxic, Aug. 25. 1870 a. m.-Five
steamers and three torpedo boat de-
stroyers emerged from Port Arthur
yesterday morning, and began the
work of clearing away floating mines.
At twenty minutes past six in the
evening a two-funneled torpedo boat
destroyer struck a mine two miles off
Liaoti promontory and sank imme-
diately.
Five minutes later a second Destroy
er with four tunnels ran against an
other floating mine, which exploded.
This second vessel was at once sur
rounded by other Russian ships and
towed into Port Arthur, the entire fio-
tilla accompanying her.
These occurrences we're seen from va
rious Japanese watch towers. The jap
anese cruiser Hashidate also witnessed
the explosions. The actions of the Rus
SLAMS in attempting to clear the chan
mel OF mines indicates the intention of
the fleet again to sally from Port Ar
thur.

DISARMAMENT WAS
NO SURPRISE TO THEM.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-The an
nouncement that the Askold and the
Grozovoi had been disarmed at Shang-
hal came as no surprise here, since the
responsible authorities decided a week
ago, as stated in the Associated Press
dispatches, to follow this course After
the flags of the Askold aid Grozovoi
had been hauled down. their guns
were dismantled.
Capt. Reitzenstein officially reported
the hauling down of the Russian flag
last night
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that Capt. Reitzenstein
asked the Admiralty to be allowed to
take out his ship even in the face of
the superior Japanese force, but when
the Admiralty ascertained the condi-
ton of the Askold and the time re-
quired for repairs. her disarmament
was ordered.

BUT THREE MAIN FORTS
ARE HELD BY RUSSIANS.
1t Is Said the European Portion OF
Port Arthur Is on Fire.

Che Foo. Aug. 25, 9 p. m.-Golden
Hill, White Marble mountain and Lao
ii mountain, according to Chinese ad-
vices, dated the night of Aug. %, are
now the only main forts securely held
by the Russians at Port Arthur. 9th
ers are occupied by them, but they are
subjected to an artillery fire which
renders their tenure uncertain. Fort
No. 5, which has frequently been re-
ported taken by the Japanese and re-
taken by the Russians, is again de-
clared to be in the hands of the Japa-
nese.
A rumor having some points indicat-
ing authenticity says that the new Eu-
ropean section of Port Arthur is in
flames. Owing to the mud and brick
construction of the buildings, however,
it is probable that the fire is not gem
eral.
1t is said that the Japanese are using
guns taken from the harbor defenses of
Kobe. Nagasaki and Yokohama. These
guns, numbering three hundred, are
of heavy caliber.

well as a delegation representing the
Theatrical Women's Parker League.

bers propose to turn all of these votes

Shanghai. Aug. 25.-The Russian
cruiser Askold and the torpedo de-
stroyer Grozovoi have gone out of
commission, but the work of repairing
them is being continued.
There was no formal ceremony when
the vessels went out of commission.
Their flags were not raised to-day. A
simple announcement was made by the
commanders of the two warships that
the vessels would remain in port until
the war is over. The work of dsmant-
ling them will begin on Friday The
Askold has been authorized to remain
in dock until Sept. II in order to COM
plete her repairs.
The crews of the two vessels, with
the exception of the necessary guards,
will be paroled and allowed to return
TO Russia,
An order was received at $50
o'clock last night from the Russian
minister at Pekin that the cruiser AS
kold and the torpedo boat destroyer
Grozovoi were to be disarmed.
Yesterday was a day of considerable
anxiety in official circles. First an
order went forth that the vessels could
remain four days. This request was
eagerly and persistently pressed by the
Russian minister at Pekin, but it was
absolutely refused by the Chinese gov
ernment. Thereupon an order came to
Shanghai to rush work on the vessels
and go out to what seemed certain
death next Sunday.
The abject distress of the Askold's S
crew when this news was received was
pitiable From the first the officers
and crew have urged disarmament, but
the minister at Pekin would not con-
slider the subject. The dock man
ayers yesterday notified the Russian Of
fcials that the Askolds hull could not
be repaired by Saturday. More tele-
graphing to Pekin followed, and last
night the welcome order to dsmantle
~wras received by the Russian admiral
Under the supervision of the customs
authorities representing China, the
Askold and Grozovoi will go out of
commission before Sunday. and as soon
as they are patched up they will take
their places alongside the gunboat
Mandjur, which was dismantled last
March.
Emperor Nicholas sent a message
to the crews of the Asl1old and Grozo-
vol congratulating them for saving the
vessels and conveying words of hope.
There is general satisfaction here
over the outcome of the matter. 1t
is understood that the Japanese fleet
Will remain until the Russian vessels
are completely disarmed.

Accompanied an Effort to Rob
BOoLmaIxers.
Chicago. Aug. 25.-By the explosion
of some dynamite caps and in the panic
injured this afternoon at the Haw-
thorne race track.
1t is supposed that the caps were
thrown ON the floor of the betting ring
with the idea of creating a panic, dur
ing which the cash boxes of the book
makers might be robbed. An attempt
was made to rob one bookmaker, but
it failed. The injured are
Frank Williams, left foot lacerated.
Mitchell Bruno, right foot lacerated.
A. McGill received a severe scalp
wound and was badly bruised in the
panic in the ring.
The first explosion was caused by
Williams. who. while walking through
the east side of the ring, stepped on a
cap. 1t exploded, tearing off his shoe
and lacerating his foot severely. He
fell to the floor with cry, and in
oldully there was a SnOuL LndL an IN
sane man was discharging his revolver
at random.
Immediately there was wild panic,
and while the bookmakers, seizing their
cash boxes, bent low in their booths,
the crowds rushed across to the south
side of the ring in the effort to es-
cape. Just as the thick of the throng
reached this side of the ring some
body trod on another cap and the crowd
tore back to the place where it was
started on the first run. McGill was
knocked down during this rush and
was trampled upon.
A third explosion took place some
minutes after the panic had been al
layed. 1t occurred just beneath chair
on which Bruno was sitting threw him
to the floor, and a portion of the cap
striking his foot. tore it badly.
While the excitement was at his
highest a man made an effort to grab
the cash box of a bookmaker doing
business under the name of the Chi
cago Club. He was knocked down by
a clerk, and ran away before he could
be arrested.
