POSITIVE REFUSAL.
Russia viii Not Accept Mediation
From Any Source.

ST. Petersburg, April 29-In the most
categorical terms Russia has officially
notified the world that she will not ac-
cept mediation To terminate the war with
Japan. The official notification which ac-
cords with the authoritative announce
mcnt made by the Associated Press April
- is contained in a circular issued by the
ministry Of foreign affairs to the Russian
representative with foreign powers and
IaZetted i'm the Official Messenger today.
The circular denies the report that formal
proposals have been made to the imperial
government BY any foreign power To use
its good offices to restore peace a denial
which does not reflect personal intimation
addressed directly to the emperor BY
king Edward Of England and King
Christian of Denmark. an account Of
which was given by the Associated Press.
The text of the circular is as follows:
The foreign press has recently been
persistently circulating reports concern
ing intentions on the part of some Euro

between Russia and Japan. kilograms

Naples. April 2s.-The inhabitants of

years which compared with the scene
today (the occasion being the visit of
President LOubet of France). or gath

and foreigners. 1t is estimated that
10000 people crowded the cafes or

from large yachts to humble fishing
and rowing boats, and of all national
tiles, each hosting it's colors, the
French predominating. The spectacle
Of the French and Italian squadrons
anchored side by side was magnificent
and most imposing.
Booming Of Cannon.
The battleship Regina Margherita,

King Victor Emmanuel and the royal
princes, with their respective suites.
appeared from the military harbor and
was saluted by laundering hurrahs, the
booming Of cannon and the waving of
handkerchiefs by the immense multi-
tude. The Regina Margherita was fol-
lowed by the torpedo gunboat Euridiee,
with members of the diplomatic corps,
headed by United States Ambassador
Meyer on board. and by other ships
carrying dignitaries Of state, members
Of parliament; representative of the
press, etc. President LOubet and King
Emmanuel, on the bridge of the Regina
Margherita. were saluted with the
strains OF the MarseilleS and the Itai-
ian march.
The weather, which yesterday was so
unpromising, was glorious. the bright
sunshine gliding everything. The
Regina Margherita passed twice be-
tween the squadrons and President
Loubet and the king exchanged COM
pliments on the perfect condition of
the ships and the appearance of the
men.
Farewell to Loubet. -.- -
From the Regina Margherita Presi-
dent ;Loubet went on board the French
cruiser Marseillaise which is to carry
him to France. He was saluted by
twenty-one guns from each ship and
by cheers from all the crews. Shortly
after embarking on the ship he was
visited by the king when the last
adieuX were taken. Amidst a scene of
indescribable enthusiasm the French
squadron left the bay, headed by the
Marseillaise. The French ships were
accompanied by six Italian battleships
and two squadrons of torpedo boat de-
strOyers. As long as it was possible
to distinguish the salutations Presi-
dent LOubet and the king exchanged
their farewells. standing on the bridges

CRUISE WAS DARING.

St. Petersburg. April 2s g p. m.).-
The details Of Rear Admiral Yeszen' s
raid show that il was entirely success
Isl The admiral safely brought back
his ships to Nladivostok after INJECTING
material and moral damage on the enc

The cruise was most daring. The
enemy's squadron was known TO be in
proximity, which necessitated the
prompt sinking of the Japanese trans
port Kinshiu Maru.
The conduct of the 100 troops remain
ing on board the Kinshiu Maru in re-
fusing to surrender and firing upon the
Russians, even while the transport was
sinking. evokes unbounded admira-
ton.
THE Japanese are jealous of our
ChemulpO heroes is the popular com
ment. At the same time. the action OF
the heroic $50 men did not leave the
Russians any alternative. They were
obliged to sink the transport, but
means of escape were left at the dis
posal Of the 80 Japanese.
The ability of Admiral Yeszen's ships
TO reach Gensan, 800 miles away, in
twenty-five hours, as they. did on the
second expedition. is certain to compel
the Japanese to be on their guard.
The papers point out the mendacity
Of the Japanese claims that Gensan
was strongly garrisOned, and believe
that the Russian advance from EAalSsin

Experts here severely critictise the
carelessness of sending transports with

While the naval men agree in prais-
ing the new commander of the cruiser
squadron, VicerOy Alexieff's defend
ers claim credit for the vicerOy, who
kept the cruisers at VladivostOk and
selected Admiral YesZen to command
them.
It is expected that the Russian activ-
ity in eastern Korea win retard the
operations on the YalU river.
