The proceeding is to determine pre-.
cisely The extent Of Mr.. Bowen's re.
sponsibility for the circulation Of the
charges against Mr.. Loomis. The of.
fetal mind here is made up SO far as
Mr.. Loomis is concerned. It is abso
lutely convinced Of his innocence Of
any wrong-doing while he was minis

conviction after a thoro sitting Of the

to escape blame himself, must show
that he did one Of two things: that
either by private inquiry at Caracas
he arrived at another conclusion as tt
the truthfulness Of the charges, or that
he did what he could to denounce then
and to discourage their circulation il

emphatic regret for the retreat from

That the day was far from being lost

General Linevitch exclaimed:

Hue, Cochin China, April 29:-The
German ship Hansa, in from Paltan
bay, British North Borneo, at clock
last night, settles the position OF the
Russian Baltic feet.
The Hansa came upon the Russians
on Thursday evening off Three Kings

boarded by the torpedoboat destroyer
Bravi, which after. an examination! OF
the steamships papers permitted her to
proceed. Y
The captain Of the Hansa declares
all the GOLFERS and other supply ships
were missing, and that twenty five war
vessels in all were between five and
twelve miles off the mainland of Co.

This news makes it clear that since
Batu 9dpS the III Kus2ian ' admGFa ira has
been sailing up and down the coast.
When sighted by the Hansa he was
forty-one miles northeast of Kamranh
bay. Six battleships were in his fleet
and seven cruisers of various types.

Shanghai, April 29-Informatior
brought this afternoon by the PENN

improbable that the main JAPANESE
fleet will meet the Russians for weeks
to come, unless Rojestvensky should
decide to sail straightway for the bat

in from Manila, sailed thru the Formo

the Bashi islands she passed a small
squadron of Japanese vessels, mostly

fu, which the Japanese hold and which.
is strongly fortified. The Japanese are
now exerting pressure against the
Russian advance. On account of the
nature Of the country and the positions
of the opposing armies, it Is impossi-

but it is impossible to say what may
be taking place along the eastward
roads from Korea and the Yalu territory
The country there, however, is exceed

that the roads are impassable for troops
