Thought Fishermen
Were Japanese

Vigo, Spain, Oct. 27.-1he Associated
Press has succeeded in obtaining an in
tervlew with Admiral Roiestyenskv
VINO expressed great regret over the
North sea incident. The admiral
stated that the unfortunate occurrence
was purely accidental. The weather
on the night in question was rather
hazy. About o'clock a. m. two tor
pedo boats, which the Russians snn.
posed were Japanese craft, suddenly
appeared between the two divisions ~
the squadron and seemed to dischar0e
torpedos. The Russians immed;a toiv
opened fire. They saw no fisherman
and were not aware tina any damage
mad been odne. Evidently, the adm;reI
sald, the fishermen had shown no
nnsn.s, Inc admiral repeated that he
greatly regretted that any injury had
oeen done fishermen, and added that No
nad no doubt the Russian government
would make ample compensation.

England Makes
Russia Explain

London, Oct. "a Great Britain sent
today long and urgent note to the
Russian government officially detailing
the circumstances of the amazing and
unexplained attack by the Russian Sec
ond Pacific squadron during the night
of October 81 on British fishing boats
in the North sea. The text of the note
has not been given out, but it is official
ly stated by the foreign Office that it
contains the announcement:
1.-THE situation is one which, in the
opinion of his majesty's government,
does not brook delay"
Meanwhile the conservative public
and press are remarkably undemonstra-
tive. AS usual, the lingo element de-
mands war, and even in official quar-
tiers some go so far as to say that it
may be necessary to stop the Pacific
fleet pending settlement of the whole
affair, though this extreme measure,
it is believed, will not be necessary.
Everywhere there is evidence of the
very positive opinion that this is no
time for the usual diplomatic dillydal-
lying; that there must be no delay and
no limit set by Russia as to the apology
or the extent of compensation for the
sufferers by what King Edward him
self terms "the unwarranted action"
Of the Baltic squadron commanders.

Armies Only
900 Yards Apart

General Oku's Headquarters, Oct.
26.-The official report of the Japanese
casualties from October 10 to October
20 is as follows
Killed-Officers, 46; men, 1928.
Wounded-Officers, 213; men, 534O.
1t is reported unofficially that the
right army buried $500 Russian dead
the center army 1900 and the left army
5000.
The armies average 600 yards apart,
and at places only so yards separate
them. The men are constantly in the
trenches, and by placing their caps on
their bayonets draw scores of bullets
from their opponents. The Russian
artillery is searching the japanese
lines and skirmishes are almost con.
tinuous.
Field Marshal Oyama reports that
the Japanese total casualties were 49,
879 officers and men at the battle of
Shakhe river.

Open Fire-Several Boats Sunk and
Crews Drowned-Some of DAMAGED
Boats and Injured Members of Crew
Reach Hull.

Hull, England, Oct. 24.-I. M. Jack
son q Co., solicitors for the owners
or 90 Hull fishing boats, have notified
the foreign office and admiralty of an
attack on the Hull fishing feet by the
Russian Second squadron, commonly
designated as the Baltic squadron,
commanded by Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky. The official information is
that shortly after midnight Friday the
Russian squadron fell in with the
Hull fishing fleet in the North sea.
The first portion of the fishing fleet
passed safely. Then the Russian
ships turned their searchlights on the
British vessel for some time, and a
little later opened fire. The steam
trawler Crane was sunk, and the de-
capitated bodies of her skipper and
third hand have been brought to
Hull. The boatswain and other mem
bers of the crew, who are understood
to be seriously wounded are on board
the mission ship. The only slightly
rived at Hull.
The steam trawlers Moulmein and
Mino have arrived at Hull, seriously
damaged by shots, the latter having 16
holes in the hull. 1t is feared that
other damage was done to trawlers,
and that at least one more was lost,
with all hands.
Bombarded by Nearly All Warshps.
According to other reports, the af-
fair occurred 200 miles off Spurnhead.
The Russian ships were steaming in
line. The leading ships of the fishing
feet passed without incident, though
most of the Russian vessels turned
searchlights on the trawlers long
enough to prevent any mistake as to
identity. After the bulk of the squad
ron had passed, it opened fire, nearly
all participating in the firing. The
Crane was struck below the water
line and raked above deck. Skipper
Smith and Third Hand Leggott had
their heads carried away by shot,
many of the crew being seriously
wounded. Another trawler also was
sunk, but the Moulmein, which
brought the news to Hull, has no par
ticulars as to her fate.
The news has created an intense
sensation and indignation in Hull. The
Moulmein arrived with her flag at
half mast.

British People
Don't Want War

London, Oct. %. - The London
Times says:
1.-THE British people do not want
war with Russia over the outrage COM
mitted by the czar's mad dog fleet on
the Northern sea trawlers, and conf
IDENTIFY expect that the ST. Petersburg
government will promptly make ample
apology and reparation. AT the same
time, if the commander in charge of
one of the British fleets, patterning
after Rojestvensky, should have an
attack of temporary insanity and sink
dozen or fifteen of the vessels Of the
Baltic fleet, his countrymen would hail
him England's greatest naval hero, and
in the course of time might erect a
monument to him that would make
Nelson's column look like a hitohing
post. 3"
This is no exaggerated statement of
the feeling here. Everybody seems to
think that an apology and money will
not be enough to pay for the plumbers.
There is a distinct craving for the
infection of punishment upon the
guilty fleet Some Britishers actually
sigh when they think that there is no
practical way of securing this result. =,
