Left Under Sealed Orders and Started
Along the Japanese Coast.

Paris Jan. o3--'Tbe Paris edition OF

ling dispatch from its correspondent in
st. Petersburg:
Three of Russia's giant armored
cruisers. composing what is known as
the VIadivostok squadron. it is assert
cd, have been missing for two months
since they put to sea from Vladivostok,
and it is believed that all three ships
with their complement Of 2.115 officers
and men, have gone to the bottom of
the sea.
Tho ships are the Rossia, Gromoboi
and Bogatyr.
All information regarding the vessels
has been refused by the Russian adj
mirality office.
1t is known that three ships left
VIadivost0k under scaled orders about
the middle of November last and laid
their course along the coast of Japan.
Tho crews of all three warships
were in mutinous mood, fired to re-
bcllion by information received about
the revolt of their brother sailors on
the battleship kniaZ Potemkin in the
Black sea.
n IIOllll3 Oh tOIDcuO DOdtS Was Sent
to escort the big cruisers. and the COM
manders of the smaller craft had or
ders to fire their torpedocs at and sink
the cruisers at the first sign of insub-
ordination.
That this is what happened is the be-
| lief in st. Petersburg and it is feared
| that officers and men on the three
ships all persisted.
A rumor reached the government
that the crew of the GrOmoboi had
| niutinied and run for a japanese port
early in December.
The Russian government thereupon
Gent Il despatch to the Japanese asking
them to shoot the crews of the mutincer
ships if they should take shelter in a
japanese port.
Since then there has been no news
given out regarding the fate of the
three ships. 1t is known that they did
| not reach any Japanese port, and it is
not believed that even the govern
| ment has ever had a word from them
since

Sc. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-O.10 +. M.
The attitude Of the Russian people
towards the monarchy. showing that
the peasant as well as the soldier
would be quick to resent anything d.
rected against the person of the Little
Father has been recognized by the
constitutional Democratic convention
now in session here which today IN
spite Of the objections of many theo-
retical Republican delegates ircorpor-
ated in its platform clause declaring
that Russia is a constitutional, parlla-
mentary monarchy
A change in the fundamental defini-
ton of Russian sovereignty is recog-
nized as necessary in the government
camp also and the result of minister
ial conferences on the subject will
probably be the issue shortly of man.

Russia's fundamental laws, namely
1.-The Emperors power is autocratit
and unlimited" doing away with the
word "unlimited' and thereby recog-
nizing the existence Of the rights OF
the National Assembly.
The peaceful passage of the dreaded
RED Sunday anniversary yesterday
the apparent impotency of the active
revolutionists and the initiation of con
etructive abors by all the politica
factions taking part in the electora
campaign have greatly encouraged tat

now is the financial situation.

canals. The lock type was favored by
Chief Engineer John +. Stevens. who

concentrations.
The opinion was expressed by Mr..
Stevens that a lock canal Would SUP
ply all the needs of commerce.
The construction Of central lake
to receive the waters of the ChagreS
river. it is said. would permit steam
vessels of the largest type to pass
through the lake under their own pow
er and thereby make up most of the
time that would be lost in passing
through locks.
1t is expected Mr.. Stevens will COM
plete his statement tomorrow.

pear tomorrow TO continue his testl-
mony. will not be heard until later.
