No Duty on the kits.

A dispute between the customs authorities
and the managers of the Boer War at Bngh-

by the Gordon Highlanders should have
been admitted duty free was settled yester-
day in favor Of the showmen. Under the

which have already been used for profess

drills and the duty was not required.

Peace sentIment In Franco.

Paris. May 30.-The magnitude of
the Russian naval disaster has fairly
stunned French public opinion, which
had hoped that late adyices would
show that Japan had also suffered
some share Of the losses. However,
dispatches showing that the japanese
feet escaped practically unscathed
from the encounter dispelled the hope
entertained that Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky, by sacrificing a portion of his
leet. had succeeded in Gripping Vice
Admiral Togo's feet to such an extent
that the Japanese would be placed in
a position OF inferiority. Therefore,
the disaster is generally discussed by
the officials. the public and the press
In 9 tone OF depression, the prevailing
view being that Russia now will be
compelled to seek some means of ter
minating the war. The bourse first
gave evidence OF a strong peace senti.
ment by the buoyancy Of the market.
The leading journals, Including the
semi-oficial Temps. urged peace, de.

London. May 30.-According to the
correspondent OF the Daily Mail at
Seoul, Korea, early on Sunday Vice
Admiral Togo, with practically all the
powerful fighting ships Of the Jspa
nese navy, was at Masampho. Korea,
when wireless signals from his scouts
between Tsu and Quelpart islands an.
nounced the approach OF the Russian
feet in full force. A few hours later
the scouts reported that the Russians
were o ascending the western chan.
mel. as had been anticipated, but that
they were coming up the eastern
channel, which caused some surprise.
Admiral Togo Immediately started at
full speed around the north of Tsu
island and when he doubled the isl.
and he saw the Russians coming in
two columns. He then brought a ter.
rife fire to bear upon the flank Of the
port column and as the Russians fell
into disorder he forced them steadily
eastward towards the Japanese coast,
where they were attacked by every
vessel that few the Japanese flag.
Repeated torpedo attacks were deliy=

correspondent says. will probably be
able to reach Vladivostok and he adds
that other operations Of the utmost

London, May 30.-The naval battle
between the fleets of Togo. and Rojest-
vensky strikes the Imagination Of the
British public with far greater fore.
than any of the military operations.
Hence Togo's victory far
more intense interest here than any
incident OF the war and is greeted by
the newspapers and the people with
great luhilation, Everywhere it is be.
Ing compared with Trafalgar and
Aboukir.
Togo" says the Daily Telegraph,
has won the Trafalgar Of the far
east, and won 1t, as his allies rejoice
to note, In Nelson's year."
The same editorial recalls that the
battles Of Manila bay and Santiago
did not cost the Americans a single
ship and indeed hardly a single life,
and it would therefore not be ~surpris-
Ing to find that Togo had gained q
relatively bloodless victory.
In varying strains of eulogy, all the
papers pay tribute to Admiral Togo's
extraordinary aueeess. They say that
the sun has set on Russia's naval
glory and comment on possibilities of
peace. Universal opinion is that it
would be criminal for the emperor of
Russia to continue the war, but seri-
GUS doubts are expressed as to wheth-

of the hape!essRess of a further
struggle,
Naval experts mostly hold to the
opinion that the greatest damage was
done by the Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers. Il Is said that Togo was
prepared to sacrifice practically the
whole OF his mosquito feet if he could
thereby destroy Rojestyensky's battle
ships and armored cruisers. The sur
render of several of the Russian YES.

JAPS USE SUBMARINE BOATS
Full Story Of Great Naval Battle Not
to Come Until Later,

SS'hS Ohth IdIcT.
Toxic, May 3l.-The proverb that
Admiral Togo always fights and sell
dom reports is proving true in the
case OF his greatest battle. From the
briefest and mo fragmentary re-
ports coming to Toxic it is impossible
to gain an approximate conception or
picture of the desperate and decisive
combat. 1t will probably he days and
weeks before the matp facts of the
battle and its strategy are made
known, Admiral Togo appears to
have planned and laid a complete
trap which fitted Admiral Roiestven-
sky's action, and that the Japanese
outmaneuvered. outfought and outshot
the Russians, fearlessly taking their
lightest cruisers against the heavy
Russian armor-clad battleships and
smothering them with gunfre. Ire
mendous interest attaches to the use
OF submarine vessels. The navy de-
partment is silent on this point, but
1t Is confidently believed that subma-
rines were effectively used for the
first time in histery, Theoretically,
the sea was too rough for the employ
ment at submarines Saturday, but the
Japanese sailors welcome desperate
chances. 1t is believed that torpedo
boats and destroyers scored heavily
Saturday night. The conditions on
Sunday were most favorable, The
night was calm and clear and land
was visible for forty miles, across the
Tsu straits, Hundreds OF Russian
refugees. who landed ON the Tsu isl.
ands and neighharing provinces. are
coming to Sasebe and Maizura. Many
OF them are wounded and are other
wise suffering from the terrible ordeal
OF the great battle. Local branches
of the Red Cross and government hos.
pitfalls are s%heltering and treating
them. 1t Is believed that the fighting
ended Monday. A search of the sea
is in progress today.
