miral Rojestvensky's ships and sur
misses and rumors Of the result OF the
battle between the Japanese and Rus
sian fleets. but add nothing reliable TO
the dispatches received by the Associ-
ated press correspondents,
According to the Daily Telegraph q
private telegram was received in Lon
don Sunday night in very high quar-
ter to the effect that Vice Admiral
Togo had gained a great victory.
Based on the meager details already
received here, most Of the newspapers
are ready to believe the Japanese have
secured victory
The secrecy maintained at Toxic
apparently extends to the European
legations. At any rate Baron H.
Hakashima, the Japanese minister
here declined to see newspaper cores
pondents much less to talk Of the bat
tie.
The indications from many Of the
dispatches are that Rojestvensky sent
some of his vessels through the Tsu-
garu strait with the view Of mystify-
ing the Japanese.
A dispatch to news agency says
that two Russian warships were sight
ed Sunday afternoon at Masulki MASH
ike) in shlyari province, Hokkaido,
steaming southwest but 1t is unknown
whether they belong to RojestvenslEy
or II they were from Vladlvostok.
II Is assumed here that the Japan
ese government win follow Its custom
airy plan not to allow details to be pub
lished until the action has been COM
pleted and It is believed that the fight
has been OF q running character.
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic cor
respondent says that an intermittent
fog prevailed In the Sea Of Japan Sat-
urday. It occasionally lifted, when
there was a brilliant sunshine A high
wind prevailed with a rough sea
The Russian ships were hrst sight
cd at o'clock in the morning ap-
preaching the Tsu Island under cover
Of a fog which. however. lifted and
the sQuaron retired. This squadron
is believed to have consisted to siH
first class ships and according to In
formation received q more Russian
warships were not far away. Nothing
definite IL known. however. says the
correspondent. and the authorities
merely reported that cannonadlng was
proceeding. II has now been discover

sEf aecIusd 70 divide his Meet INTO set-
eral parts. He traversed the Bashee
straits and steamed in q northeasterly
direction On the morning Of May IS
the Russians were southwest Of the
Luchu islands and the slow converted
cruisers and transports were sent to
Shanghai while the main squadron
went to Tsu Island.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that
Japanese warships arrived in the offing
OF wJosung Saturday and attacked the
Russian ships, but q later dispatch
says that the Russian transports are
to stay in tie vicinity OF Shanghai
while the vessels Of the volunteer
fleet are to leave for either German or
French territory. It Is reported that
Rojestvensky's squadrons used Chusan
Zone Of groupe Of islands on the east
coast Of China in the province Of Chek-
iang) as a naval base. and It is also
stated that the Chinese authorities or
dered the vessels to leave WOosung
by s o'clock Saturday night or to haul
down their fogs. The Russians, the
dispatch said, were temporizing.
1t IL reported from Hongkong that
the British fleet is leaving for the north
at full speed.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
and the Daily Telegraph itself both
discredit the rumor that the Japanese
will attack the Russians at Woosung,
which rumor lacks confirmation from
any other quarter, though the shang-
hal correspondent Of the Morning Post
cabling May 2S, says that the firing
of big guns was heard outside Woo
sung Sunday night. The same dis
patch says that the Russions claim
they are merchantmen and are en-
titled to remain at Woosung, while the
Chinese admiral now declares that he
will not permit the transports to leave
and, the dispatch adds, the Chinese
warship Haichi has cleared for action
The Toxic correspondent Of the Daily
Mail says that Is Of Rojestvensky's
ships appeared east of Tsu Island at
2:45 o'clock on Saturday morning while
at 10 o'clock that morning the fleet
was passing ten miles southeast OF
Tatzild and that cannonadlng was
heard.

CLAIMS THE LAW DEFECTIVE.
Woman Heir Objects to State Tax or
lnheritances.

SEATTLE, March lin the federal
court today Susan NJ. Spencer attacked
the inheritance tax law and asked
Judge Hanford for an injunction to
prevent the administrator of an es-
tate from turning over any part of
the property to the state. She is a
niece of Walter Crockett, who died
leaving an estate of $4,000 She is
entitled to a snare in the estate.
S. D. Crocrett is administrator of
the estate, and in accordance with the
law, he has filed with the auditors of
the counties in which Walter Crockett
had property notices of liens against
the estate. Susan Spencer wants the
whole matter set aside on the ground
that the law does not provide for the
appointment of appraisers of the prop
erty, so that there is no way of ascer-
tanning what share the state is entitled
to take.

showing and the law was not enforced
