The Elements of Japan,s Success

Throughout the months occupied by Ro-
Jestvensky In proceeding to the far east
ern waters, and especially since he was
reinforced IN the China sea and strength
ehed himself at the expense of French
neutrality. there has been a pronounced
tendency on the part of western observers
or the war moves to look for a Russian
victory at sea. The Russian commander
seemed to have the advantage over the
Japanese. His battleships were more M
merous and the larger ones were newer
than any in Togo's fleet. Despite the dis

Even up to yesterday many of the most
pronounced partisans of Japan In this war
were fearful of a Russian victory The
Russian fleet looked exceedingly formidable
on paper. These faint-hearted friends of
Japan did not take cognizance of the fact
that a war fleet is measured not so much
by the number of ships, or even by it's
aggregate tonnage, as by the total weight
OF metal which the ships are capable of
throwing. their speed. their maneuvering

Porto Rico's Prosperity.

from the New 1Ork IT1Dune.
The infrequency with which Porto Rico
figures in newspaper headlines nowadays is
the best evidence of the solid prosperity and
growing contentment of our West Indian
dependency. Only few years ago the
American press was full of gloomy pictures
of the islands industrial condition and
gloomer prophecies of the future. Now
the skeptic and the pessimist find their oc-
cupation gone. The development of the
islands trade has been steady, and the old
restlessness and discomfort have given way
to a feeling of~confidence and satisfaction.

this morning and was greeted with a
roar of guns from the land forts and
warships, and of dipping flags on
board all the vessels In the harbor. A
thick mist overhung the sea, prevent
ing semaphores from registering the
approach of the American ships until
they were near the outer harbor. The
squadron presented a handsome ap-

Brooklyn leading the line. The batter
les at the arsenal fired a welcoming
salute of twenty guns to which the
four American vessels answered, gun
for gun. The squadron anchored in
the inner harbor at q point designated
by Admiral Besson, commander of the
port.
The aspect of the harbor was stris-
|ingly beautiful with the vessels OF all
kinds in the harbor, bedecked with
full complement of colors in which the
American flag predominated. The
auays were lined with people and the
houses fronting the harbor were made
bright with bunting, including many
American flags.

THE RUSSIAN VERSION.
Official Account Of the Mutiny on
Board Potemkine.


Board Potemkine.
ST. Petersburg, June 30.-The battle
ship Potemkine, according to official
adpices from the governor of the prov
ince in which Odessa is situated, left
Odessa early this morning for an un-
known destination. The official YER
sion of the affair puts an entirely new
light on it. 1t is claimed the mutiny
on the Potemkine was the result of a
rlot concerted by twenty sailors who
were members Of a revolutionary or
ganfzation. Complaints against bad
foo. were pretexts. When complaint
was made to the captain of the battle
ship, he caused the blue jackets to be
brought on deck, and asked those sat
isfled to step out. 1t was seen that
they were in the majority, whereupon
the minority, headed by the revolu-
tionists, who are said to have includ-
ed foreign anarchists, seized the guns
and turned them on their comrades A
bloody scene followed. Nine officers
and many men were killed or Jumped
overheard. The mutineers after plac-
ing the remaining officers in irons took
charge Of the warship. Commander
Golikoff was among the killed The
red flag was hoisted when the Kniaz
Potemkine appeared off Odessa. When
the body of Omiltchuk, the man who
was shot by the commander of the
Warship, according to previous reports,
was taken ashore for burial, it was
surrounded by crowds of students and
revolutionists, many Of whom were
Jews. Inflammatory speeches were
made and subsequently some revolu-
tionists went on board the ship and as
snred the sailors of the army's syrnpa-
thy and readiness to cooperate with
them. The sailors then turned their
attention to the ships in the harbot
and to a portion of the city along the
water front. which was soon on fire
in many places.
