Ohefoo, Feb. 22.-The captain of the
German steamer Pronto just arrived
from Dalny says positively that be-
sides the torpedo gunboat Yenesei, &C.
cidentally destroyed by one of her
own mines. the Russians have just
lost another ship by accident on Feb.
IL. This was small cruiser, whose
name was not learned. In avoiding
some mines she ran upon rocks from
which she eventually slipped off into
deep water and sank. There was no
loss of life. The Russian authorities
insist that there is no truth in the
story that force of 1000 japanese
landed at Pigeon or Dove Bay, had
been annihilated. Troops are being
rushed toward the Yalu with all eX-
petition possible.

beef in Port Arthur is getting very
