suspended in the navy department
Monday morning when twenty copies
of the Toxic official bulletin of the AS
ISOLATED Press were distributed there.

desks to talk over the news with one
another. Few generalizations were
made except that part of the Russian
feet engaged in the Straits OF Korea
seemingly got away and possibly will
reach Vladivostok. All the Russian
feet, it is claimed hore, was not en-
gagged in Korean waters. The fleet, Il
is understood at the naval department.

of Japan.
Definite Japanese statements are ac-
cepted here as being generally accu-
rate. Therefore, it is assumed in pro-
tessional quarters that the Japanese
inflicted greater damage than they
themselves sustained.
