pedo hotilla. But you have not heard OF
the extraordinary scheme which Lieutenant
Commander Hirose tried to carry out. He
commanded one of the merchant ships. and
at the last moment, when the others were
sinking their vessels and escaping in the
boats. he telegraphed full speed ahead to
the engine room and dashed straight to-
ward the Russian torpedo fiotilla. He
wanted to capture one of their boats with
his small crew by boarding, and return
on 1t to our squadron. But the attempt
failed because all the merchant ships had
been chained together, and when the others
sunk his vessel could not go ahead. 1t

commander of the torpedo f1otilla, says:
1.-THE enemy seems to have no power or
desire to come out of the port and hight
with us. In spite Of the great deeds Of
Hirose and his band of heroes, we have
not yet accomplished our purpose Of block
ing the channel which is much to be re-
GREETED: but we shall not cease our eff
forts until we have done and until the
entire Russian fleet has been destroyed.
Heroic Sentiments.
The Spartan spirit Of the Japanese wo-
men, and indeed of the whole Japanese
people, grows more intense as the war pro-
crosses. The emperor sent Prince Kuni-
nomiya, one of his relatives, to thank the
mother of Major General Fulfil Shigeta for
a letter which she wrote to her son. 1t
has been printed IN the Tokyo newspapers,
and Is worth quoting as an example Of the
heroic sentiment which animates the Japa-
nese mother today:
'This war is not like the war with China
It is much more serious to us all. There
fore, I charge you not to forget to do your
best for the country on all occasions. re-
CARELESS of your life. Also, do not forget, to
elevate the name of your family. You
have no need to worry for your old mother.
My heart is always with you, and my
prayers are always for your guidance.
Think that this letter is your mother. and
that we have no need to meet again in the
world. Bravely go to the front and do
great deeds. That is the earnest desire of
your mother" - 81 '.

DEEDS OF HEROISM
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.


SASEBO. Japan, April 10, 1904.
I have been privileged to hear a good
deal about the work of the Japanese mos
quito fleet" off Port Arthur from sub
lieutenant who arrived at this port on
mission from Captain Kondo, the COM
mander Of the torpedo fotilla under Ad-
miral Togo.
1--WE have been cruising about the ap-
proaches to Port Arthur day and night for
weeks" said the young officer. THE
weather has been bitterly cold, and the
sea often very rough, SO that the hard
ship and dangers Of the work have been
extreme, even leaving the Russians out Of
account. Several men have been frostbit-
ten while on watch, and others have sue
cumbed to the hardships of the life and
been removed to the sick bays on the big
ships. But I can truthfully say that the
spirit of all ranks on the destroyers is
even keener today than it was at the be-
ginning Of the war. Those who have not
yet had the chance to distinguish them
selves are burning to emulate the deeds of
Hirose and other heroes. There are thou
sands of men living in comparative COM
fort on the big battle ships and cruisers
who would gladly give years Of their lives
to change places with US.
I'm spite of the fact that they have been
caught mapping two or three times, the
Russians still keep a bad lookout. Here is
an example. On the night of the I'd of
March, which was thick and dark, we
made out Russian torpedo boat on scout
duty several miles from the entrance to
Port Arthur. Our fotilla drew off, and
Captain Kondo gave orders for several de-
stroyers to converge on the Russian from
different points and surround her.
Wanted Fight.
at seems hardly credible, but 1t IL the
fact that we got within fifty meters of
her without being discovered. Then we
hailed her and summoned the commander
to surrender. all our destroyers flashing
their searchlghts on her at the same mo-
ment. Resistance was, of course. useless.

the box, the consumption of oil being
less, and, accordingly, the cost being cor
respondingly cheaper than If the light
were obtained from an ordinary lamp
Moreover it is claimed, absolute safety
is assured. The asbestine lamp may be
inverted, may exhaust itself, may be
thrown down or whfrled about, but
there is no danger, it is averred as there
is no free oil or oil gas that can be ig-
nited. and consequently there can be no
fire or explosion. The patent is said to
be applicable to every species of lamp,
from the modest night light necessary in
the nursery, through the, entire gamut
of domestic illumination, to the drawing
room lamp. In the industrial world It
would be utilized in every direction, es-
pecially where a bright, steady light is
essential, such as engine headlights and
lights on ships. The Great Northern and
several Scottish and Irish railways are
engaged in testing the capabilities of the
new process with view to its adoption
in railway work. Every description of

purposes, lamps in fHines4Acan, it is de-
clared, be fitted with the asbestine patent,

tional advantage of considerable econ
omy. The problem of the safety lamp

She surrendered without firing shot. Our
men were sorely disappointed, for they
had been hoping for fight to vary the
monotony Of their scouting work.
I'VE have captured several small steam
ers and Chinese junks which tried to run
through the blockade into Port Arthur
with provisions, ammunition and other
supplies. This leads me to believe that
the Russian garrison is not we'll supplied,
and that the railway into Port Arthur is
not working so well as you tell me the
Russians assert it is. Certainly they are
making frantic efforts to get supplies from
Shanghai and other Chinese ports by means
Of these small vessels which we are con-
stantly capturing day after day. PROP
ably a few Of them manage to run the
blockade, but I do not think many are
successful. The captains of the captured
vessels say that they were offered great
rewards by Russian agents at Shanghai
and elsewhere"
The sublieutenant spoke with quiet but
tense enthusiasm of tine heroism of the

stages of exhaustion. In the first quarter,
If the pace be fast, he feels the first symp-

little harder. and at last succeed in catching
up with their task of purifying the in
creased stream OF sewage brought to the
lungs by the blood, to be carried off in the
form of gases by respiration. The distress
disappears from the face, the lungs seem to

weight appears to have been lifted from the
