RUSSIAN DISASTER
Two Russian Torpedo Destroy

RUSSIAN SHIPS OlSMANTLED
Rather Than Lose Vessels In shanghai
Uarbor They Are DisnantIed
Under Chinese Direction.

Five Russian steamers and two tor
pedo boat destroyers emerged from
Port Arthur and began the work of
clearing away floating mines. At
twenty minutes past six in the even
ing a t~wo-funneled torpedo boat de-
stroyer struck q mine two miles off
LiaOtt promotory and sunk immedi-
ately. Five minutes later a second
destroyer, with four tunnels, ran
against another floating mine. which
exploded. The second vessel was at
ships and towed into port, the entire
fiotilla accompanying her. These &C.
currences were seen from various Jap
anese watch towers. The Japanese
cruiser Hashidate also witnessed the
explosion. The action of the Russians
In attempting to clear the channel Of
mines indicated the intention of the
feet again to sally from Port Arthur.
An order was received at Shanghai
from the Russian minister at Pekin
that the cruiser Askold and the tor
pedo boat destroyer Grozovoi are to
be disarmcd. First, an order went
forth that the vessels could remain
for four days longer. Then negotia-
tions were begun for another four
days. The request was eagerly and
persistently pressed by the Russian
minister at Pekin, but it was abso-
lutely refused by the Chinese govern
ment. Thereupon an order came to
Shanghai to rush the work on the YES
sells and go out to what seemed GER
tain death. The AFFECT distress OF the
.Askold's crew when this news was re-
ceived was pitiable. From the first the
officers and crew have urged disarma-
ment, but the minister at Pekin would
not consider the suggestion. The dock
managers notified the Russian officials
that the Askold's hull could not be re.
paired in the required time. More
