JAPS ON RUSSIAN SOIL
LANDING OF ENEMY's TROOPS ON
ISLAND OF sAkHALIN Off.
cIALLY REPORTED.

st. Petersburg, July 8.-A landing
of Japanese troops on the island Of
Sakhalin has been oflcially reported
and startled military circles in st. Pc
tersburg, though it has been realized
since the defeat Of Admiral Rojestven-
sky that the Japanese were able to
take possession of the island as soon
as they thought fit. The, strength Of
the landing force cannot be ascertain
ed, but the garrison of the island ID
too weak to offer an effective defense.
Though the Japanese seem unwill-
Ing to risk general battle with Cen
eral Linevitch pending the peace meet
ing at Washington the landing of
troops at Sakhalin is considered TO
express Japan's decision regarding the
formal conclusion of q general armis-
tice, namely, that in the interval be-
fore the meeting it is necessary to oc.
cupy the island whose possession is
an important card in Japan's diplo-
matte contest at Washington.

Early Capitulation Is Predicted.i
Kustenji, Roumania, July ,S.-The
Russian flag once again floats over
the battleship Kniaz Potemkine and
the torpedo boat which have given
such terrors to the Black sea CON-
munities for a couple of weeks. The
formal surrender of the mutinous
crews occurred at 1 p. M, after q
series of discussions and negotiations
between the ROumanian authorities
and the leaders of the mutineers.
The vessels arrived here early In
the day and the Roumanian authori-
ties who boarded the battleship called
on the crew to surrender, in which
case they would be treated as foreign
deserters, or else leave the port forth
with. 1t speedily became apparent
that the Russian vessels returned to
this port with the intention of giving
themselves up to foreign government
and the crews soon announced their
acceptance of the Roumanian terms.
The mutineers wanted to be permit
ted to take off the treasure which was
on board the Kniaz Potemkine, but
the Roumanian authorities declined to
acquiesce.
The Russians will gradually be con-
veyed to any frontier they may select
and will then be liberated, the local
officials having given an undertaking
to this effect. The Roumanian flag has
been hoisted over the Russian war ves-
sells as well as the Russian, SO - to
prevent any attack on them in Rou.
manian waters by the vessels Of the
Russian squadron. which are reported
to be in pursuit Of the mutineers.

Improvement is now on Smith street,
where an old worn out macadam has
been a disgrace to the city for several
years. The steam roller is being put
to good service in ~loosening the un-
oven surface. This will be rolled
down smooth and a coating of top
dressing will be placed on top, prac-
tically rebuilding the street. When
the between:theas Central rail

that section OF the thofoughfare will
be paved, it is-exRected, and the main
thoroughfare..ins the city will then
present a somewhat respectable ap-

AS we have mentioned before, ma.
cadam is not a good material for a
business thoroughfare where the
traffic is heavy, but it is better than
nothing and, if kept in repair, will

work go on. The street department
should be encouraged for the manner
in which it is spending the city's
money. There is something to show
for it and the people do not begrudge
q penny as long as the appearance of
the city is being improved. Good
macadam on some of the other streets
is what is needed. To talk about these
expensive pavements is going away

Suvaroff opened fire first and then sud-
denly turned, reversing her course.
Almost simultaneously the Mikasa
opened fire with her big guns. and
thus the curtain ROSE on the great sea
battle. The hostile fleets gradually
closed in toward each other, exchang-
ing a vigorous fire. The armored

after q short but fierce fight the
Admiral O~ushakoff's deck was observ-
ed to be ablaze and the ship left the
line. BY half-past 4 in the after
noon the Russian line was d~isordered
and its fire %slackened. The Borodino
and Kamchatka had been disabled
and soon sank. The Borodino con
.tinued to fire bravely until the ship
was submerged.
'The Japanese fleet continued TO
maintain enveloping positions from
shutdown until dawn. Sunday morning
opened misty, but the weather soon
cleared and the search for the rem
nants of the Russian feet was begun.
Five Russian ships were discovered
in the vicinity of Liancourt island.
They were Immediately surrounded.
One, supposed to be the lIzumrud, es-
capped at full speed.

sistance and hoisted the Japanese flag
over the Russian colors, apparently OF
fering to surrender. Captain Yashiro,
commanding the Azama, started In a
small boat to ascertain the real inten-
lions of the Russians, when Admiral
Nebogatoff lowered a boat and came
on board the Azama, where he formal
" surrendered. The prisoners were
distributed among the Japanese ships
and prize crews were selected to take
possession of the captured vessels.
"About this time we received a mes
sage saying that a portion of our
squadron was holly engaging the re-
naming Russian ships. The Azama
nastened to the scene Of the combat
and found the Russian cruiser Dmltrl

to escape, and we pursued until after

nightfall. On Monday morning the
