OFF . _CHEMULPO, No Official Announcement Yet Made at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Feb. 19.—No official announcément of the disaster off Che- mulpo, Korea, b et been made here, although the papers are iting sto- ries of the loss of the Variag and Ko- rietz. The St. Petersburg Gazeite asks: “What are we going to do with the millions subscribed for the navy?” and continues: “We cannot patch up a useless gar- ment. Let us start afresh. Let the people decide how the money is to be spent. The ministries are too busy I'to give the matter due attention.” Count Orloff Davkdoff, the philan- thropist and close friend of the late Czar Alexander IIL., has given $500,000 to the Red Cross society—$100,000 for the immediate use of the society, $200,- 000 for a hospital for wounded sai and soldiers and $200,000 for a for orphans of the war. The Korean minister announces that although 36,900 Korean troops are sta- tioned about Seoul his government preferred not to take up arms against Japan because Korea is neutral and felt sure Russia would soon drive out the Japanese.
