ty of strategic stupidity, it will be due
to the fact that General Kuropatkin

formerly stationed in st. Petersburg,
to-day.
The official in question, who on sew
eral occasions was attached to Gen
eral Kuropatkin's staff during maneu-
vers. asserts that the Russian COM
mander in chief never plans a battle
or a movement except when under the
influence of the drug. At the same
time the officer confesses that, so far
as he ever observed, the use of NOR
phine never caused the general to
blunder. He says, however, that Cen
eral Kuropatkin's military intimates,
who know his weakness for morphine,
contemplate with the gravest anxiety
the moment when it may plunge him

tempt to Bottle" Port Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, April "a
press correspondent in Port Arthur
gives the following picturesque de-
tails of the last attempt of the Japan
ese to block the harbor, as follows:
Following a reconnaissance our
fleet returned and anchored in the
interior of the harbor. After mid
night the darkness became more pro-
found and our searchlights were con-
stantly in operation, piercing the
gloom. Suddenly a shot thundered,
and then a second and then a third.
Golden Hill and Tiger Cliff opened
fire when the enemy was discovered.
From the battleship Petropavlovsk
a launch put off with Vice Admiral
Makaroff and other officers heading
for the gunboat Bobr. AT the same
time the torpedo-boats SLIM and
Reshitelny signaled to prepare for
action and to attack the enemy. The
gunboat Otvajny discharged her six
inch guns and the torpedoboat SLIM
fired a broadside while hurrying to-
ward the enemy and let go torpedo
which fairly struck the prov of the
first japanese steamer, carrying it
away.
"Other japanese steamers came on
at full speed, raining Hotchkiss bull
let's at the SLIM, which fired a second
torpedo at the steamers and then
ran aground.
THE commander of. the SLIM dis
covered five of the eneng's Destroy
ers farther away, and the big ships
valiantly rushed to attack, firing their
guns as they did so. The enemy then
separated and disappeared in the
darkness.
Meantime. the Bobr and the
Otvajny continued to fire on the
stranded steamers and on the small
boats putting off from them.
Commander Travinsky of the
making toward the center of the
channel: fired a torpedo which eX-
ploded on the side of the target.
Lieutenant Krinizki. commanding the
SLIM, having fought five of the
enemy's ships for a long time in the
darkness, was himself wounded, and
his chief engineer and six men were
killed.
with his machinery disabled and
the helm of the SLIM damaged, the
Lieutenant decided to cease firing;
but, fearing to leave the open entrance
to the harbor, he approached the
shadows near Golden Hill and got
off in a boat with another officer to
extinguish the fire on the nearest
steamer and to render aid to the
twelve Japanese who had been
wounded.
1.-The Otvajny sent surgeons to care
for the wounded. and boats were sent
to the other steamers at a terrible
risk, to cut the wires connecting the
torpedoes, which the Japanese had
arranged to destroy the steamers.
The fires on the ships were ex-
tinp1lished -

RUSSIA TO TAKE APPEAL.
VIII Not Abide by the Decision of the
Toxic Prize Court.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 5.-Rus-
sia has completed arrangements,
through the French Minister at
Toxic, to appeal the cases of the Rus
sian merchantmen now before the
japanese prize court. Three Japanese
lawyers have been engaged to present
the cases. Appeals will be made on
various grounds.
Most of the ships were taken before
the actual declaration of war. Sew
eraI of them were captured on the
high seas, having left the port before
the outbreak of hostilities. Still
others were detained in Japanese
ports. Notwithstanding Japan's
declaration allowing Russian ships
in port certain exemption period.
There were experiments at the st.
Nicholas and Warsaw depots to-day,
embarking troops on and landing
them from trains to determine the
rapidity with which mobilization can
be carried on. Two battalions of in
fantry, two horse guard batteries of
artillery and a squadron of cavalry
were allowed twenty-five minutes to
board a train of forty-eight cars and
seventeen minutes to leave it, The
tasks were accomplished in the speci-
fed time.

CzAR REJECTS VOLUNTEERS.
Will Not Accept Services of Servians
During the War.

BELGRADE, April 5.-The committee
which had been enrolling volunteers
in Servia for service in Russian arm
les in the war in the Far East have
been dismayed at the receipt of a tele-
gram from the Emperor of Russia
thanking the members of the commit
tee and the volunteers for their SYM
pathy, but declaring that the services
of the Servians would not be required.
The Emperor's telegram came as a
complete surprise. One thousand ap-
plications from volunteers already had
been received and the medical exam
ination of the candidates had been set
for next week The news created
something of sensation at the festi-
val for the benefit of the Russian Red
Cross Society, at which King Peter
and many persons distinguished in So
cial life were present, but it did not
interfere with the financial result of
the festival. to which the King con-
tributed $1,000.
The Russian Emperor previously had
said that he would accept the volun-
tary services of 500 Servians and 500
Bulgarians.
