Six battleships, four protected cruisers,
two armored cruisers, one ordinary
cruiser and thirteen torpedo boats are

The British steamer Foo Chow, char

Special Cable to The Globe and New

LONDON, Wednesday-London will
learn this morning that in addition to
the torpedoing of the Russian battle
ships Tsarevitch and Retvisan and the
commerce destroyer Pallada, the Jap
anese have captured two others of the
czar's warships, one of these being the

ture of diplomatic relation almost be-
wtldered Englishmen, while at the
same time they raised the Japanese
higher than ever in the estimation of
the people Of this country.
The opening strategy of the Japanese
is described as bold, correct and char
acteristic. They waited with patience
while the hope of peace remained. That
gone, they let no conventions hinder
them from taking their opportunity to
strike the enemy to the quick.
British naval men expected quick
action by the Japanese. What sur

ans action was contrary to the ac-
copied rules of international law, Civ
ing promise that Japan proposes to
conduct the war without regard to
modern usages of warfare.
The Patrie gives sensational promi-
nence to its assertion that Japan COM
mitted an act Of international treason,
compares the attack on the Russian
fleet at Port Arthur with the blowing
up of the Maine. and asserts that Eu-
rope will hold Japan responsible for
this treason.
Authorities on international law ex-
press the belief that Japan committed
breach Of international law.
Notwithstanding this bitterness,
however, universal recognition was Civ
en- of Japanls audacity, and it was evil
dent that Japan's naval prestige had
been materially increased.

The smaller Russian vessel is reported
to have been sunk, and the larger one
fired and hopelessly disabled. A part
OF the crew are reported to have es-
capped to the shore and have been cap

The Japanese ships are reported to
be slightly damaged. Official confir-
nation Of the report is unobtainable.
1t was reported yesterday that the

were lying at Chemulpo, and 1t is pos
sible that they were the vessels report
ed to have been engaged.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. TO- = Ad-
miral Alexieff, simplifying his first tele-
gram to the car on the torpedo boat
action, now telegraphs as follows:
Il must humbly beg to your imperial
majesty that the three injured vessels
were not sunk, nor were their boilers
or engines damaged. The Tsareviteh
received a hole in her steering depart
ment and her rudder was damaged; the
Retvisan was damaged In her pump
ing apparatus under the water line, and
the Pallada was injured midships not
far from her engines
After the explosions the cruisers
fastened Immediately to their assist
ance and in spite of the dark night,
measures were taken to bring the dam
aged vessels to the harbor. We had no
loss in officers. Two marines were kill
ed, five were drowned and eight were
wounded. The enemy's torpedo boats
received a heavy fire. Two unexploded
torpedoes were found after the attack
LONDON, Feb. st is the general
opinion of the British press that Vice
roy Alexieff's dispatchs conceal the ex-
tent of the damage that the Japanese
onset inflicted upon the Russian fleet,
and that when the actual facts become
known, 1t will be seen that Japan, by
her pluck and energy, has practically
secured command Of the sea.

That Admiral Alexieff will be recalled,
even If he is not shot, is the opinion
heard expressed more than once today.
This is based on the superstition that
the three warships torpedoed by the
Japanese at Port Arthur have been
practically put out of action for the
rest of the campaign, even if they have
not been sunk to the bottom in Port

My father was a Confederate SOL

My father was a Confederate SOL
dier, belonging In cavalry company.
and when he with his command sur.
rendered he was allowed to keep his
mount. He had purchased the mare
from Il party from Missouri, who had
taken her from some point In Mis-
souri, to the Red River country In
south Arkansas ut the beginning Of
the Civil War.
She was about 3 years old when
the war ended and we kept her ten
years. ana to my certain knowledge
never ut any time did she gain her
freedom but that she started north In
the direction Of Missouri and travelled
until Overtaken and brought back. We
tried all kinds Of expedients to induce
her to remain. but nothing but con.
finement kept her In Arkansas. In
those days the grass was fine In the
mountains and all kinds of stock grew
and fattened on II. with no cost but a
little salt occasionally. But even after
three or four Of her colts were grown
up and In the herd and with n colt In
the pasture she would occasionally
gain her liberty and start north on a
fast trot and had to be caught and
brought back. And finally when she
had become old and of small value
one spring day my father ordered me
to take her out and turn her on the
range and let her go. This I did, and
within ten minutes she began to feed

are cost varies 81. to fl H.. ut which
price the vender no doubt secures for
himself a substantial profit.
One would scarcely credit the frog
with the possession of vast amount
OF intelligence. but ladies' who have
kept them are OF the opinion that the
frog IL far from stupid animal, for
by the exercise of patience they can
be taught many clever tricks. 1t Ia a
most amusing sight to SEQ the quaint
little reptile jumping through a row
of rings. The frogs. after their edu-
cation has been perfected, are placed
ON table. and In front OF each frog
is placed small ring. not much larger
than wedding ring. and then, with
out the slightest prompting. the frogs
commence to jump through the rings
and continue their performance as long
as there remains ring to jump
through. A frog race with. say, eight
rings to negotiate forms an amusing
spectacle for children's party.
Many Of these little reptiles live in
the lap Of luxury, and their appetites
are tempted with the delicacies of the
season such as slugs. caterpillars, and
earwigs. They are usually kept In a
large bottle with a little water at the
bottom, and the ladies' sometimes have
special stands built on which their
pets residences stand.
