No confirmation of the Victoria report
that two Russian converted cruisers had
been sunk by japanese destroyer in the
neighborhood of the seal islands can be had
at the State Department or the Russian and
Japanese embassies here. Unofficial reports
are to the effect that there has been much
friction between the Russian guards pa
trolling the seal rookeries in the neighbor-
hood Of Copper Islands and Japanese seal
poachers similar to that which has arisen
in the case Of our own seal islands, and the
officials would not be surprised if bloodshed
resulted off Copper Island just as did on the
Pribilov Islands. One report was to the eff
feet that the crew of Japanese sealing
vessel had attacked with Calling gun the
Russian shore patrol. firing repeatedly at
the block house In which the latter sought
refuge.
In return the Russian cruisers are said to
have captured several japanese sealing YES
sells and hard feeling has resulted because
the Japanese claim that they were unlaw-
fully seized outside of the three-mile limit
and the fishermen have called upon their
own government for protection. The situa-
ton is one that might readily become crit
ical in case a japanese warship should fall
in with a Russian cruiser carrying off a
