FLEET SAILING NORTH
RUSSIANS LEAVE KAMRANH BAY
Fishermen Heard cannonading Later
Admiral Rojestvensky IlI-crews
Expect to Win,

Kamranh Bay. Indo-China, via SAT-
gon, April 25.-The Russian squadron,
consisting of fifty-two ships, including
transports, left Kamranh bay at noon
April 22d and the main portion soon
disappeared in a northerly direction.
Sixteen vessels, the Russian cruiser
Svietlana, the Russian hospital ship
Orel, four German transports, seven
Danish transports and three Russian
transports remained in the offing.
Fishermen assert that they heard
heavy cannonading off Kamranh bay
during the evening of April 22
Those who saw Admiral Rojestvcn-
sky prior to his departure say he is
suffering from dysentery. accompanied
by severe pains. All the officers and
crews of the Russian ships appeared
to be full OF confidence.
Although the Russian crews were
confident of victory. independent OBJ
servers who got near enough to Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's warships to be
able to inspect them were not nnant-
nous regarding the efficiency Of the
squadron.
1t is believed here that it is Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's intention to do
everything possible to have Admiral
Nebogatoff join him before undertake
ing decisive battle.
A torpedo boat destroyer is patrol-
ling the coast. The French third class
cruiser Descartes left here at o'clock.
Saturday afternoon, for point on the
coast where a fisherman reports that
he saw twenty warships. The man,
however. was unable to give their na-
tionality.
The point to which the Descartes
went is Nha-Trang, a. small town fifty
miles north of Kamranh hay Oh Mia
Trang bay. The latter is smaller than
Kamranh bay. quadrangular in shape
and extends about ten miles inland at
a uniform width of about four miles.

GREAT ACTOR IS DEAD
JEFFERsoN's CAREER CLOSED.
"Trip Van Wrinkle" Begins His Final
sleep-End Comes at Palm Beach,
Florida

West Palm Beach, Fla, April 23.-
Joseph Jefferson, the eminent actor,
died at his home. "The Reefs" at
Palm Beach at 6.15 this evening.
The. end came after q, day of uncon-
sciousness and after a heroic struggle
of days, which had exhausted his vi
tality.
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons. Charles B. and Frank Jefferson;
his nurse. DR.. R. B. Porter and his
faithful old servant, Karl Kettler.
The end was not surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
SPELL which came after rally Thurs
day morning. and which was followed
by no apparent improvement until Fri
day, the family has been waiting for
the end.
Mr.. Jefferson's condition Saturday
night grew steadily worse, and the
family. who had retired, were sum-
moned from their beds and DR.. Porter
was called. The patients condition
continued to grow worse all through
to-day and the brief bulletins from the
bedside contained no words OF encour-
agement.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson which
ended in his death was contracted, 1t
is believed, while on a recent visit to
his son, Charles B. Jefferson. at Hobe
Sound, few miles above Palm Beach,
where he went to meet his friend,
former President Cleveland. 1t is be-
lieved that from a slight indiscretion
in his eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion. Since his return
to his home his condition grew stead
lily worse, with slight rallies, until the
end.

Local gamblers estimate that be-
tween $5OO,0OO and $75O,00O has been
lost to the profession since public
gambling was stopped some 1Ol
months ago. They base their esti-
mates on the money expended in liti-
CATION and otherwise, and on loss of
revenue since games were closed.
says the Oregon Daily Journal.
Persons protesting to possess in
side information assert that Colonel
Appleton, the Kentucky sportsman, is
$35, 900 on the wrong side of the
ledger as result of his efforts to
break into the game in Portland.
When he came to Portland Colonel
Appleton extended the hand of good
fellowship to the Portland club peo-
pie and declared himself in favor of
peace. The offer was rudely spurned.
The coloners local manager declares
that the Kentuckian has determined
to enter the game in Portland, If
such thing is possible. The sum
lost was in litigation and in equipping
the Warwick club.
The losses of the Portland club as
result of its effort to control gam
bling in Portland are variously esti-
mated. Those who are close to the
proprietors declare that they lost $2,-
500 at the primaries a year ago. AT
the general election that followed
they lost $4,000. That amount was
largely in bets that Word and Man
ming would be defeated.
The books of the club confiscated
| by Sheriff Word when he raided the
place show that the daily receipts of
] the gambling house were $3.50. The
| expenses. according to the books,
were $3.50, leaving $4,000 profit each
day.
OF course this was not all clear
profit.
If the books were correct, the club
has lost 100000 since it was closed
| by Sheriff Word. In actual cash the
Portland club proprietors have lost
heavily since public gambling was
stopped. Until the old club house
was leased as apartments, it is said
the expense was heavy.
The losses to the Blazers accord
ing to conservative estimates, are $5,-
600 a month. Erickson's and Fritz
earnings were not as large. according
to the estimates. but the bar receipts
swelled the total to an equal amount.
Losses resulting from the abolition
of money slot machines are estimated
from $4,000 month upward.
The losses suffered by those who
formerly conducted games of chance
such as proprietors of cigar stores
is about $1,000 a month.
The Orpheum people lost $4,000
1t is believed, and are said to be will
ing to lose more in the hope of even
tually conducting gambling house
in Portland.
