 The Tokio correspondent of the Daily Mail says in a dispatch two two Rus sian warships appeared off Oki Island, in the southern part of the Japanese Sea, on Sunday.
 The correspondent at Chemulpo of the Daily Express makes the astonishing statement that Japan has already land ed 120,000 troops in Corea, SO00O of whom are extended along the fighting front south of the Yalu river.

 a.srous to Hls Own Vessel.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 16.-Captain Stepanof, who was blown up with the torpedo gunboat Yenisei and who him. self invented the system for laying sub marine mines which is considered re- sponsible for the catastrophe, had caus- ed the Yenisei to be fitted with his device for the rapid laying of mines, whereby trolley line extended beyond the vessels stern, along which the mines slid out and dropped into their appointed places. This plan did away with the cumbersome work of laying the mines from small boats. The ac- cident was due to the excessive strain on the Yenisei's anchor cables while the mines were suspended, pending their immersion. The two cables snapped and one mine collided with another.

A num- her of boys whom the state had relied on principally as witnesses against the accused men failed to give the expected testimony in court and for lack of evil. dence the men were acquitted. The charge of perjury against Marsh is based on the allegation that he wrong fully stated that he was not present at the assault
 Subsequent to the acquittal of the strikers the boys were tried and con- vic-ed of conspiracy with intent to as sau1t, and were sentenced to ten months each in the New Haven county jail. where they have now been for several months. It is said that alleged confess sions made by the boys since their ira- prisonment have led to the present ae-| ton by the prosecuting authorities
