It is believed that the ves- sels are on their way to attempt to {cut off the Russlan squadron that ap- { peared at Gensan, on the east coast of | Korea, vesterday. It is feared, how- . ever, that, as the Czar's cruisers are superior in speed to those of this | squadron, they will escape in safety | to the shelter of Vladivostok. | It is rumored that the Japanese | have succeeded in luring the Russians from the protection of the Vladivostok guns and that there is another Japan ese squadron between them and their retreat, but this report apparently fis unfounded. s L, Korea, Monday, April 25.— ¥urther details of the sinking of the Japanese merchant steamship Goyo Maru at Gensan, Korea, this morning | by vessels of the Russian Vladivostok squadron have reached here. The Russian vessels entered the harbor of Gensan at 11 o’clock.

After the Goyo Maru had been nk the Russians retired. | No attack was made on the town. This movement is regarded here as {supplementary to the recent Russian occupation of Songjin, which is about 150 miles northeast of Gensan, by a | detachment of Cossacks and for the | purpose of determining the strength of the Japanese on the east coast of | Korea. It is also considered as a di- version frem the activity on the Yalu River. The garrison at Gensan, which.num- hered about £00 men, was reinforced last week and the troops now there are engaged in throwing up breast- | works. There is some artillery at | Gensan. While the Japanese author- ities here consider the situation at Gensan to be serious, they are not ap- prehensive. GENSAN, Korea, April 26.—There were two Russian destroyers concern- | ed in the sinking of the Japanese mer- chant steamship Goyo Maru in this harbor yesterday morning. The de- | strovers entered the harbor, sank the steamship and then rejoined thres | cruisers lying oulside the harbor en- | trance. At "4 o'clock the Russian cruisers | were seen approaching the harbor, and fears were entertained that th2 town was to be shelled. The townspeople hurriedly gathered their valuables and sought the protection of th: inland | town, and, as the harbor is unprotect- ed and has a large Japane: settle- ment, valuable property was left to the mercy of Russian chells. Before sinking the Goyo Maru the | Russian commander <signaled: *‘Re- ' move crew and passengers: will attack | immediatel and then, after allow- | ing a reasonable time, fired on the steamship, which sank near the harbor | entrance. No lives were lost. Up to this hour the Russian ships | have not reappeared. ST. PETERSBURG, April 26.—The Emperor has received a dispatch from the commander of the Vladivostok squadron, confirming the reports of the | sinking of a Japanese transport of 600 tons at Gensan. The object of the squadron’s cruise is to destroy all transports traversing the Sea of Ja- pan, show the Russian flag in Korean waters and impress the population ad- vantageously; also to compel the Jap- anese to guard all their transport ex- peditions. The Foreign Office denfes that Rus- sian shins have been sent to guard neutral territory west of the Liao Riv- er. The report may have grown out of the stationing of a force on the west bank of the river, opposite Newchwang. to defend the, city in that direction, command the river and prevent the Japanese ascending the river. No pro- test has been received from the Chi- nese Government, and it is said China has no ground for a protest. ADVERTISEMENTS. Get the Spring Habit.

PETERSBURG, April 26.—It is stated in railroad circles that the Gov= érnment has decided to double track the Trans-Siberian Railroad and that I Prince Khilkoff, Minister of Railroads, has submitted to the Emperor an esti- mate according to which this work can be completed in eighteen months. A telegram from Port Arthur says: “Experiments with submariné® boats here have been attended with brilliant success. All is quiet in the region of the fortress.” ) The entrance into service of four sub- marine boats at Port Arthur means the addition of a new and formidable weapon for defense of the stronghold. The ‘dispatch of the boats in sections over the railroad has been shrouded lin secfecy and even to-day many in St. Petersburg are inclined to doubt the report by officials of their presence jat Port Arthur or to accept the in- fecrmation as trustworthy. An effort wow to close or blockade Port Arthur will be too dangerous, it is thought, for Vice Admira! Togo to attempt. The report that the Baltic fleet is to leave Libau on Thursday for the East is incorrect. Some of the ships are going into commission and those being | completed cannot be finished before July. Vice Admiral Skrydloff, recently ap- pointed commander | naval forces in the Far East, to-day | visited the barracks of the naval | guard. Addressing the latter, he made | his fiFst public reference to the going | out of the Baltic fleet, saving: “Twenty-eight vears ago I went with your predecessors to fight for the Em- | peror’s country against the Turks. It is now the monarch’s wish that I | should lead you again, as commander | in chier the fleet which you are | going to join on board the battleship Alexander IIL" CRITICIZES RUSSIAN. NAVY. The Névoe Vremya to-day contained a remarkably free criticism of the Rus- sian navy, as follows: “It would be well to put an obelisk in front of the admiralt® inscribed ‘Re- member Makaroff.” His death should | be the signal to destroy the old order of . things, of which he fell a victim after heroically doing his best with the defective weapons at his disposal. Makaroff's death marks a new era for the Russian navy. The old days, markgd by a muddle of carelessness and ineffi- ciency, are over, and we have learned our lessons. ““The nation understands them just as | well and learns from the first lesson the necessity of a refofm of the pet- sonnel of the navy. The present sys- tem of promoting officers according to the number of nauticai miles they sail may work well in a highly efficient navy, but it is absurdly dangerous for ours, where the capacities of officers fluctuate. As a result, many of our best officers are discouraged into re- tirement. “The present war is unlike any pre- vious war in that the whole nation is following its phases with breathless anxiety. Our nerves are strained much as are those of the defenders of Port Arthur. We weep over our reverses and rejoice at the slightest success. Like the English in the Boer war, we are one of the greatest of the world- powers fighting a smaller one, and the sentiment of patriotism overwheims all other considerations.” MAKAROFI'S HARD TASK. A letter dated Avril 4, written by Colonel Agapeieff, a member of the staff of Vice Admiral Makaroff,who was lost at the time of the Petropaviovsk disaster on Avril 13, throws consider- able light on the conditions prevailing at Port Arthur. He said: “Our squadron suffers from the great disadvantage of not being able to get out of this harbor except at high tide, which is especially awkward if it is high water before dawn. The enemy has not failed to profit thereby, com- ing up with impunity on the ebb tide and attacking the whole morning if the sauadron was inside. T mentioned this to Makaroff, thinking he would not take notice of it; but the next time it was high water before daylight he ordered the squadron out the previous afternoon, by which he spoiled the Jap- anese game and also avoided the dan- ger of collision in going out a narrow entrance after dark. “During the cruise to the Miaotao Islands on March 25 we ovethauled four British steamers going to Yinkow and a Japanese steamer with some junks. The wireless telegraphic elec- tric bell at that moment reported the enemy's fleet in sight, and we hurried- ly sank the steamer and junks. We afterward found it was a false alarm. In the haste of going into battle order the Peresviet slightly rammed the Sevastopol. » “During the fireship attack of March of 27 1 went out with Makaroff in a launch.” 5 . The reports that the Emperor's health is unsatisfactory are untrue. He transacts business with his Minis- ters as usual, takes his customary walk in the garden of the Winter Pal- ace in the afternoon and later almost daily takes a drive about the city. PARSIE AH0 L MAY OCCUPY CHINESE SOIL. Rumored Plan of Japan to Int ‘Baltic Scuadron.

No step looking to a pulflct settlement of ‘the conflict ' has been taken by the Foreign Office, nor, so far 1 as kpown in Downing street, by King Edward himself. Those who have dis-~ cussed the war with the King within ' the last few days sdy that siuch action is the last thing he contemplates. | Such' a step, However informally taken, so it is held here, might serious- ly endanger. the vital negotiatibns now progressing between Russia and Great Britain with a view to. the settlement of outstanding differenees between the two ‘countries. King Edward and the Foreign Office are fully aware that any offer or even suggestion looking to peace at the present stage would be resented by : both Japan and Russia, and it is em- phatically denied that the King, even in the family circle at Copenhagen, has suggested mediation, much less inter- vention. His Majesty has expressed sympathy with his royal relative over the losses sustained by the Russian fleet, but he has beén equally thought- ful toward the Mikado. ¥ It is believed here that all rumors bearing upon the subject of pacific ef- forts, royal or otherwise, are due to misapprehension concerning the nego- tiations outlined in the press dispatches of April 9, which said that, after King Edward had given his personal assur- ances to Emperor Nicholas that the anti-Russian comment in the British press did not represent the feeling of his Government, Foreign Secretary Lansdowne informed the Russian Em- bassador that he would be glad to re- open negotiations looking to a settle- ment of all matters in dispute between Russia and Great Britain. Lord Lans- downe did not stipulate any basis or enter into any details. Embassador Benckendorff expressed Lis pleasure at the offer and trans- mitted it to St. Petersburg, where Lord Lansdowne's proposal was understood to have been taken as a mhterial ex- pression of King Edward's personal wishes and therefore the matter was éropped. These negotiations are now progressing satisfactorily, though no immediate completion of them can be expected. 4 Henry Norman, M. P., who was re- ceived in special private audience by King Edward yesterday, “on his re turn from Russia,” as the court cir- cular. to-day puts it, says he was amazed at the grasp of detail dis- played by King Edward in dealing with matters connected with Russian policy at home and abroad. He re- lated details of his audience with the Emperor of Russia and intimated that King Edward has set his heart on settling forever the long grievances be- tween the two countries. Norman, after seeing King Edward. said that any personal or national at- tempt to step in between the combat- ants seemed to him to be out of the question and that he would be very much surprised indeed if the King had done or said anything which would give rise to any such rumor. - FIGHTING AT THE YALU, Pl P g Continued ¥From Page 1, Column 4. e ficial or otherwise, showing casualties on either side. $ RO TS SETS BOMB BATTLESHIP. Stranger’s Suicide Follows Attempt to Destroy the Alexander III. KRONSTADT, April 26.—A sensa- tional story is afloat here of an at- tempt to destroy the battleship Alex- ander III. According to the reports a sailor saw a stranger, wearing the uniform of an officer, going down into the engine-room of the battleship, fol- lowed him and saw him attaching something connected with a wire to the dynamos. After the stranger left the sailor examined the attachment and found it to be a bomb. The sailor at once cut the wires, ran upon deck to tell what had occurred and found that the stranger had hanged himself. _ The crew of the Alexander III was instructed not to speak of the oceyur- rence and it is said the stranger was a madman or a member of some revo- lutionary organization,” to whose lot it had fallen to blow up the Alex- ander IIIL. A e RUMOR OF BOMBARDMENT. Unconfirmed Report of Japanese At- tack Upon Newchwang. TIENTSIN, April 26.—1It is reported upon good authority that the Japanese fleet bombarded the town of New- chwang last night. The Russians deny that there is any truth in the report. ST.

The sovereigns were accorded a splendid reception dnd large crowds assembled to greet them. The vessels in the harbor were gayly trimmed with bunting, while Kingstowh was bright with Venetian masts and festoons. Several addresses were presented to pressed his delight at finding the same evinced on the occasion of his last visit. With the improvement in agri- culture and industry, the King con- fidently anticipated a growth of better feeling throughout the country. He believed that the greatest hope for the future of Ireland lay in education, for the wide diffusion of cultivated intel- ligence was the surest guarantee of so- cial peace and the most fruitful source of seif-reliance. e — SCHOOLHOUSE WRECKED, BUT INMATES ESCAPE Cyclone Strikes a Town in Oklahoma and Many Buildings Are Demolished.

MOTHER JONES DIRECTS MOB Woman Agitator, Exposed to Smallpox, Breaks From Quarantine in Utah Town ARMY GATHERS AN e Her Followers March to At- tack a Prison, but She Is Soon Placed Under Arrest Special Dispatch to The Call. PRICE, Utah, April 26.—“Mother” Jones, celebrated as a breeder of trou- ble in strike regions, to-day broke a smallpox quarantine and renewed her agitations.. “Mother” Jones has been stirring up the strikers in the coal re- gions here for some time, urging vio- lence, and the Sheriff called for troops as a result of her work. Troops were denied him, and he is seeking to main- tain order with the aid of a large force of deputies. “Mother” Jones visited a striker who was quarantined for small- pox. The local health authorities promptly auarantined her. She re- fused to observe the quarantine and as a result of the dispute 120 strikers were arrested for rescuing her from re- straint. She promised the State au- thorities she would observe the quar- antine, being told of the dangers which might result from her spreading 1vhe disease. To-day she broke her promise and escaped from quarantine. Eluding the guards which weré watching the house, she went to the camp of the strikers and called upon the women to rally to her aid. They gathered about her, paying no atten- tion to the perils of infection. Children came also. Men were added to the throng. Armed with whatever weap- ons came handy—clubs, revolvers, shot- guns and a few rifles, with many knives—the mob marched on toward Price to rescue the prisoners held un- der guard by the deputy sheriffs. Marching through the main street of the town, she gathered followers as she went. The guards were preparing them- selves for a fight, but this proved to be * unnecessary. Deputy Sheriff World walked up to “Mother” Jones as she was leadiflg the mob with song and shouts and declared her under arrest. The crowd made a threatening demon- stration, and the deputy was in a dan- gerous position for a time, but Mrs. Jones told them not to injure the offi- cer and submitted to arrest. She is now in jail. —_—————————— BISHOP CONATY TO LECTURE.—Right Rev.
