PEACE ASSURED,

Latest advices confirm the magni-
tude of the dis: ster suffered by the
Russian fleet and point to the fact that
Russia's hopes. so far as this war is
concerned now lie in whatever may
be accomplished by the oft-beaten
army in Manchuria. An official report
received from Toxic by the Japanese
legation at Washington on Monday
evening says That the Russian losses
definitely known include two battle
ships, a coast defense ship, five cruis-
ers, two special ships and three de-
stroyers sunk, and two battl"ships. two
coast defense ships. one destroyer and
one special service ship captured.
while over 5000 prisoners have been
taken, including Rear Admiral Ncbag-
otoff. The Japanese il would seem.
are still pursuing the Russians and 1t
may be some time before the final re-
suit is known.
There is nothing to clearly indicate
the extent of the Japanese losses and
! it is suggested from one source That
the Toxic government is waiting to
hear from Admiral Rojestvensky by
way of Vladivostok before announcing
to what extent it's fleet has suffered.
| Tho news of the disaster has caused
deep depression in official Russia though
IL is not yet known generally arons tho
| Russian people.
| Rojestvensky's defeat has given fise tc
| renewed talk of peace. 1t is pointed ou'
w the Associated Press St. Petersburg
| correspondent that Russia in this crisis
will turn to France through its foreign
| Minister NJ. Delcasse. while from Wash
! irgton comes information that President
Roosevelt in accordance with his promise
| anne unccd long time ago is taking
steps to do nj in his power TO bring
| ;tout peace negotiations.
| Nothing has been heard from Vice
Admiral Roicstvcnsky. In Toxic there Is
some belief that he has persisted, while
another source says he was rescued 10y
a torpedo boat, but that he is wounded

NINETEEN SHIPS LOST
Possible Three More WarahipS Were
Sunk In the Fight saturday, But
Report Not Credited.

Toxic. May 90 p. m.-The number of
and captured by Admiral Togo's fleet
now stands at nineteen. 1t is possible
that these additional warships were sunk
in the fight Saturday and others later.
The navy department refrains. how
ever. from creditng reports of this ma
ture until it is assured Of their correct
ness. 1t is believed the Ural is the name
of the captured transport which has been
omitted in the list previously cabled.

Rear Admiral Nebogatoff and about 700
other Russians were taken prisoners.
| "The following are damages suffer-
ed by the enemy in addition to those

three destroyers were sunk two bat
tleships. two coast defence ships, one
special service ship. and one destroyer
were captured. 1t is not vet clear
whether the three vessels as stated

included or not In the above list. There
are more than 1000 prisoners. besides
1000 taken by main force of the COM
bined squadron.
"The naval engagement Is still in
progress, so that 1t will take some
time before the final results can be
known"

cnce to the third report from Admiral

squadron.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
clash between Officials Takes n Per.
kOnal Turn.

There was another eruption in the
street department Saturday when Com
missioner Daley attempted to open doors
that had been closed by Superintendent
C1app. a few days ago Mr.. Clapp took
possession of the safe. books. papers, etc,
belonging to the department. according
TO the terms Of the injunction issued by
Judge Watson. He also closed the doors
between his office and that occupied by
the city wciGher.
on Saturday Commissioner Daley. with
some assistants. attempted to open the
doors, and. Mr.. Clapp claims. to re-
move the safe. The work had proceeded
only a brief time when Mr.. Clapp picked
up an axe that was nearby and inform
ed Commissioner Daley that he would
make mince meat out of him If he did
not stop. This stopped the proceedings.
The next event was the arrest of Mr..
Clapp on a body writ issued in favor
Of Mayor Burke. through his attorneys.
Cowles Il Moulton. This writ was for
the purpose of collecting 500 for rent
claimed to he due for the premises in
Mechanics lane. owned by Mayor Burke,
which have been occupied for years by
Mr.. ClaDo
Mr.. Clarp cla. AT when the trou-
BILE in the street depa ,ncnt first came
up Mayor Burke told him to continue to
occupy tho premises and that he did so.
He says the first he knew that the mayor
wanted tho premises vscatcd was when
ne was informed Saturday morning that
he must move Immediately.
Mr.. Clapp says he secured carriers and
had his goods moved at once. After
moving. the mayor demanded the key but
MIR. Clamp refused to give it up. saying
that he bought the lock and that it and
The key belonged to him.
Mr. Clapp further declares that Mayor
Burke owes him for work done moro
than the amount of rent due.
The mayors suit was discontinued on
Monday and another one for 5000 was
brought.
