Special Dispatch to The CAN.

FRESNO, June 20.-The remains of
an unknown man were found along the
Southern Pacific Railroad track this
morning and were picked up bit by bit
and placed in a market basket So
thoroughly disfgured are the remains
that no trace is left whereby he can
be identified save a light brown cap, a
leather watch fob and pair of buck
skin gloves.
Last night as the midnight freight
passed through Selma a fire broke out
in a fruit car at the end of the train.
The car was backed up to the tank,
uncoupled and the fire put out.
As the train pulled out tramp pass
ing the livery stable Of G.. r. Sweeney
stopped and told a strange story. Ac-
cording to his story he and another
man, who is thought TO be the one
killed, were beating their way. He
noticed the fire in the car and ran
ahead on the top of the train and re-
ported to the engineer. The man Sc
cured a bucket and filed il with water
and started back along the top of the
train to put the fire out. He said as
he rushed along in the dark he ran
into a man and knocked him down,
causing him to roll off the car.
With the remark, Il wonder what
happened to him." he strOlled down the
street. He has not been seen since.
The fob without the watch makes the
robbery theory tenable.

VLADIVOSTOK, June 20.-It is be-

sunk in the Straits of Korea by the
Russian warships were conveying d
portion of the fourth army. There
was no alternative except to torpedo
the Hatashi and Idzumi, as their crews
refused to surrender.

Russians has been brought to this port.

VLADNOST0K SQUADRON, AFTER ITS DARING RAID
RETURNS WITHOUT MISHAP TO THE SIBERIAN PORT
Skrydloff Reports the
Success of His
Venture.
Cruisers Lose No Men
and Sustain No
Damage.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 20.-Under
date of June 90 Vice Admiral Skry ydlOff
sent the following message TO the En-
peror:
"The--cruiser division has reached
1'ladivostOk without losing any men or
sustaining any damage"
The VladivOstok squadron return
ed TO port yesterday. The Ad-
miralty has received a long report from
Vice Admiral BeZobraZof1. 1t does not
mention a bombardment of the Japan
ese coast.
In view of Vice Admiral Skrydloff
having stated that the Japanese trans
port Sado was sunk, the Admiralty is
awaiting an explanation OF the Toxic
kilograms saving the Sado was being
towed to port.
The military critics are discussing
the results Of the raid by the VladiYo-
stok squadron. They say NladiVostok
has proved more valuable as a naval
harbor and better as a strategical po-
sition than Port Arthur.
TOXIC, June 20.-The Russian Vladi-
vostok squadron did not come into the
Strait of Korea to-day. The suspicion
OF its presence there was based on the
flashing of searchlights seen of Xxi
Island last night. The japanese made
careful disposition of their warships
to intercept the enemy, but when Gay
broke there was no sign Of them in the
strait.
