The correspondent OF the Times on

the Port Arthur operations. He says
that when the Russian feet had been

Dor. Vice Admiral Togo was notified.
By piece of bad luck the wind at

the mist and enabled Admiral Max

full speed to Port Arthur. 1t was a
magnificent spectacle. but the Rus

far from the harbor. At the close of

Russia in Need of Money.

London, April 1S.-Reports are
again in circulation here of Russia's
need to raise money. When the war
broke out the gold held abroad by the
Bank of Russia amounted to $780,
600. Of this amount $50000,O00 has
been expended, and therefore, accord
ing to these reports, it would soon be
necessary to have recourse to the gold
held in the treasury. According to a
morning, the outcome of the ways
and means conference at st. Peters
burg will be the issue of 100000, 900
in per cent treasury bonds in Paris,
Brussels and Amsterdam.
Vice Admiral Togo's report. in
which he says that the Japanese sunk
the mines off Port Arthur, is accepted
here as fully explaining the mystery
of the destruction of the battleship
Petropavlovsk, and the newspapers
pay warm tributes to the daring and
skill displayed by the japanese, con-
trasting these with the apparent lack
of foresight and vigilance on the part
of the Russians.
War correspondents arriving at
Ping Yang report that the roads are
in terrible condition, but that the
Japanese troops, in marching, display
splendid endurance.
The Daily Mails Ping Yang CORE
spondent says that food supplies are
being pushed forward on a gigantic
scale. All the preparations prove
that the Japanese are in readiness to
sustain campaign. The corresponds
ent describes the irresistible courage
shown by the Japanese at Chengiu in
riding decklessly up hill in the face Of
superior numbers. He relates an Incl.
dent showing the individual initiative
of the Japanese soldiers. A private
got isolated and saw the main body
of the Russians making for the south
gate of the town. He hid himself un-
til the Russians approached and then
deliberately shot the Russian com
mander, throwing the force into con.
fusion.
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
at Shan Hal Kwan gives a report that
japanese fleet of twenty-six vessels
has been seen escorting 100 transports
north OF Port Arthur.
Rumors emanate from various quar-
tiers that trouble is imminent between
Russia and China, but there is no
authentic news to this effect. Some
st. Petersburg correspondents con-
slider the sudden departure of the Chi.

Blake, Rev Hugh, of North Branch,
officiating.
Deiniteness of purpose, integrity
and perseverance have made the
groom's life success and his latest,
and doubtless the most important
success is the winning of this modest
and loveable daughter of most high

Upon stable foundation of inner

as will fit her to assume the grave re-
sponsibilities and duties to which a
wedding day is dazzling vestibule.

Blake home a throbbing nucleus of a
quivering nebula of merry expectancy

ecstacy enlived the telephone wires,

people began to gather for the even
ing entertainment. Jack and Mary

Some lurking serenaders were called

proper time, soon after which the
numerous guests departed and the
nlrth gave way to a sweet calm of a
starry night. On the following day
the bride and groom departed for
their future home on Melville farm,

continued, but as this is beyond the

JAPs SET THE MINES
SINKING OF THE PETRoPAv-
Lovsk WAS WORK OF TOGO.
Rear Admiral Dewa in Command of
FlotilIa Which Actually Accom-
pIished the Perilous Task-Rus-
SLAMS Near Sunjin.

Toxic, April 1S.-The Japanese are
elated over the successes they have
won at Port Arthur. They are also
proud of the achievement of Vice Adj
miral Togo, particularly of his newest
strategy in countermining the eneEly's
harbor and decoying him across this
field of mines to an equally dangerous
flank attack. The success OF the sys-
TEN of placing deadly countermines
observations made by the Japanese
during their previous attacks on Port
Arthur. The Japanese saw the Rus
sian feet leave the harbor and return
to it several times and they discov-
cred that the Russian warships fol-
lowed an identical course every time
they came out or went in, evidently
for the purposei of avoiding their own
mines. The japanese took bearings
on this course. When the destroyer
divisions of the Japanese torpedo flo
tilla laid the countermines during the
night of April 1913 they placed them
along this course. The laying of these
countermines was exceedingly peril
Gus, because if any Japanese boat
with mines on board had been struck
by lucky Russian shot she would
have been annihilated. The weather
of the night of April 1913 favored the
work. There was heavy rain. the
night was dark and cloudy and the
Russian searchlights playing over
the channel failed to reveal the pres
ence of the Japanese jestroyers.
Rear Admiral Dewa was in COM
mand of the japanese squadron which
decoyed the Russian ships over the
field of mines. His squadron consist
ed of the cruisers Chirose, Yoshino,
Kasagi and Takasago, all unarmored
vessels which presented tempting
bait for the heavie. Russian ships.
Vice Admiral Togo directed the
flank attack He had the battleships
Hatsuse, Mikasa. Asahi. Shikishima,
Hashima and Fuji. He waited thirty
miles out at sea until Rear Admiral,
Dewa signalled him by wireless teleg-
raphy to come in. His vessels then
dashed at full speed toward the en-
trance OF the harbor. 1t is not clear
what warned the Russians that they
had been trapped, but they probably
discerned the hattleship squadron on
the horizon and retreated precipltate-
ly to the harbor Vice Admiral Togo
did not succeed in preventing the
Russians from entering, but did force
them to a disastrous retreat, which
ended in the destruction of the Petro-
| pavlovsk and the disabling of the Po-
bieda After these occurrences the
cruisers Nishin and kasuga were used
| to lombard Port Arthur. They pos
sess the highest angled guns in the
fleet, capable of throwing shells to
| the elevated Russian land works,
which are beyond attainment by the
average naval weapon.
Vice Admiral Togo calls this attack
on Port Arthur the eighth, whereas
here it is numbered the seventh. A
| probable explanation is that Vice Adj
miral Togo regards the latest opera
| ton as two distinct attacks.
Expressions of regret at the death
| of Vice Admiral Makaroff are general
| here.
