STRUCK ON SHOAL
Schooner Pounded to Pieces and One Life is Known
 to Have Been Lost.

New York, June 7.-One life and pos sibE more, are believed to have been lost near Sandy Hook today when an unidentified two masted schooner struck on Romer shoal and was pound ed to pieces by the heavy sea. The schooner is thought to have been fisb. erman which usually carries biz crew. Only one man was seen on the wreck after the schooner struck the shoal, however, and he disappeared when the vessel went to pieces He had been clinging 10 the fore rigging for hours. apparently the only live thing on the doomed craft. It is pos, sible that the other members of the crew escaped unobserved before day light. as no boats were visible on the schooner while she was pounding on the shoal and none was seen among the spars and wreckage which foated about after she had gone to pieces.

Gear of various kinds covered the decks and the state of the alleyways shows that the ship was afire several times. The mark of the flames in- creased the scene of desolation. The main armor belt is intact. The turret armor generally withstood the batter ing from shells, although two of the six-inch turrets were rendered unser- viceable by shots which struck close to their base. Several smaller guns were dismOunted and smashed. A grewsome sight was bulkhead be- spattered with blood, fragments of flesh and hair.
 The Orel is sound structurally, al- though 1t will be necessary to prac- tically reconstruct from the water line up. The condition of the ship shows that the crew underwent terrible ordeal before they surrendered.

St Petersburg, June 7.-The Russian press, notably the Novoe yremya and the Russ, the latter frequently reflect ing the views of the foreign office. dis play great deG' of resentment against the United States for enforcing the twenty-fonr hours rule in the case of the three Russian cruisers at Manila.
 The Russ quotes the American neu- trality regulations and contends that President Roosevelt in applying the principle that only injuries received during storm and not in battle can be repaired in American ports. not only narrows the American regulations but infringes recognized principles of in- ternatiOnal law. This paper asserts 1t has official warrant for the state- ment that representations have been made to Washington on the subject.
 The Novoe Vremya is exceedingly sarcastic. After a slap at Great Brit ain for the alleged manner in which her vessels dogged the Russian fleet from the time it left CrOnstadt and for trying to force all the powers to accept her interpretation of the rules of neutrality, the Novoe Vremya de clares that President Roosevelt. whom it refers to as MT Roosevelt" con faminated by Englands example. ar bitrarily interprets his own rules in sense favorable to Japan, adding: MT Roosevelt takes full advantage of the fact that Russia is helpless and powerless to do more than protest The Japanese minister is reported to have hastened to express his gratitude to America for this act of impartiality which is partial to Japan. We trust Mir Roosevelt is satisfied with his sue cess''
 The admiralty, it can be stated, is reconciled to the internment of the three Russian cruisers at Manila, but opposes on principle the rule that war ships injured in battle cannot repair their machinery and boilers at neutral ports. The officials add that friction over this minor question would be ex- ceedingly unfortunate just at the time that President Roosevelt is assuming the delicate role of trying to bring the belligerents together.
