PETERSBURG, May 20.—With greater calm than has been feit since the beginning of the war, Russia to- day faces the situaon in the Far East. The disasters sustained by the Japa- nese fleet have strengthened the na- tional spirit, and the officlals carefully point out that they restore in a meas- ure the prestige lost by the past untar- nished successes of the enemy. Should the persistent reports of the Japanese army having been driven back to Feng- wangcheng prove true, then the au- thorities and people will feel that Rus- sian progress has been vindicated and that the two belligerents can recom- mence the war on a more even foot- ing. The first effect of the Russian suecesses will, it whose attitude has been decidedly hos- tile to the Russians, and to bring this change about it is expected that the Russian agents in China will follow the Japanese plan of fully informing the | Celestials of the losses inflicted on \he enemy. Although in St. Petersburg there is indiVidual enthusiasm over the | Japanese disasters near Port Arthur, there will be no collective demonstra- tion. The wholesale rejoicing will come | with the announcement of an achiev: e-. ment of a more thrilling character, | which will appeal to the volatile side of the Russian people. Everywhere to-day one hears praige | of the Russian torpedo-boats in stealing out in the darkness, perhaps through | a line of small boats of the enemy, to plant mines where the heavier of the enemy’s ships had cruised a few hours befor But, after all, it is pointed out there remained a big element of chance as to whether the enemy would return. The authorities had almost come to the | conclusion that the catastrophe which | they had prepared would not come about because of the cleverness of Vice Admiral Togo in keeping away from the dangerous waters, as if aware of the Russian operations. The tone of the comments of the press to-day is sober, while at the same time recog- nizing the importance of the Russian success, and is well expressed by the Russ, which says: “Japan's losses jeopardize her mastery of the sea. It is a streak of bad luck, like ours. The forces are| now about equal, without the Baltic squadron. It is not for us to rejoice, but it was not worth while to bring the Kasuga from Genoa to sink the Yoshino.” The Boerse Gazette remarks: “The news of the enemy’s losses will cheer Russia and make some amends for the | treacherous Japanese attack at the outbreak of the war. It is now the enemy’s misfortune to experience the deadly effect of submarine mines, which have done us so much damage. Great is Russia’'s God. The war has entered on a new phase, nastening the Russian victory.” The Listok obseryes: “There is no intention tc celebrate the Japanese losses by a torchlight procession. It is not our custom to make a national re- joicing over an enemy’'s misfortune. Nonetheless, it is impossible to conceal the fact that the nation 1s greatly im- pressed by the catastrophe to the Jap- anese fleet, which goes to show once laid plans.” The Gazette makes the most caustic comment of any of the Russian papers. | “It is just retribution for the Port Arthur It says: treacherous attack at without declaring war, ardly onslaught on the Variag and Koreitz. The mines laid by our brave sailors have done their work, and all | reproach for the Petropaviovsk disaster is wiped out.” lower sections, flooding the dwellings {and business houses.

PETERSBURG, May 20.—Follow- ing on the heels of the news of the dis- asters to the Japanese fleet, the gen- eral staff to-day received official ad- vices of the defeat of the Japanese | force which was marching northward | from Fengwangcheng for the purpose of executing a flank Mukden. Details of the dispatch will not be made public passed by the war commission, enough has been communicated ‘to the Associated Press to make it cfear that in order to save themselves from de- ( struction the Japanese were compelled to retreat toward Fengwangcheng. Since General Kuroki sent a column | northward to gain the road leading di- | rectly west from Mukden, General Ku- ropatkin has kept it under the closest surveillance, awaiting the moment when it should be so distant from the main Japanese army as to prevent its easy reinforcement. In observing this plan the Russians withdrew, and the | Japanese, not finding a strong force of the enemy before them, continued to advance. When the time for action) | came General Kuropatkin let General Rennenkampff loose from leash. Gen- eral Renaenkampff had under his com- | mand only a few regiments, but they were the flower of the Cossack cayalry. On May 18 he fell on the enemy; whose number has not yet been re- | vealed, with such vigor as to compel the Japanese retirement twelve miles |toward the base, near enough, it is | presumed, to have received reinforce- | ments from General Kuroki, who must | | immediately have been advised of the awkward pres#ament. The opera- tions are described by the general staff as such a move as it wouid be expect- | ed General Kurcopatkin would make and for which General Rennenkampff | was fitted and chosen. The latter’s ap- | pearance on the stage was somewhat |late. It had been intended that he should raid Korea at the beginning of the war, but he arrived at the front too late. The general staff believes General Rennenkampff's attack must have been in the nature of a thunder- bolt. {and hard, once given tne opportunity, and his men, veterans of the Chinese campaign, had been selected especially | because they knew what it was to be under fire. The casualties sustained by the op- | posing forces have not yet been an- nounced. - JAPANESE HEAVY LOSS. Two Battleships. TOKIO, May 20, 11 a. m.—The loss of life incurred by the sinking of the Yoshino included Captain Sayeki, Com- mander Hirowaterri, three first lieu- | tenants, five second lieutenants, five midshipmen, paymaster, surgeon, four engineers, three engineer cadets and | eight boatswains' mates. Of the crew the number of those lost is unknown.

It is not yet known in this case either how many of the men perished. The Hatsuse was | assuredly sunk by coming in contact | with a submerged mine and not by the attack of a submarine boat. | The report that the battleship Shi- kishima was damaged and the battle- ship Fuji was sunk is denied here.

Sz 2 SAVES CREW OF HATSUSE. Togo's Ships Drive Back the Russian | Torpedo Flotilla. TOKIO, May 20.—The report of Rear Admiral Togo, who should not be confounded with the vice admiral | of that name and who commands the 'Japanese fleet sent to attack Kaichau on the west coast of the Liactunxl Peninsula, south of Newchwang, says | he reached Port Arthur soon after the | Japanese battiéship Hatsuse was| blown up and assisted in saving her {erew and driving back the Russian torpedo-boat flotilla, which came out | that evening. Rear Admiral Togo en- | tered Chili Gulf the morning of the | 16th, reconnoitered the coast near Kai- | chau and drove the enemy off a range of hills near Tongshan. On the 17th, after clearing the sea of mines, Rear Admiral Togo entered Kinchau Bay, from which his gunboats bombarded the railroad bridge, a military train and the enemy’s buildings, effecting some damage. WASHINGTON, May 20.—The Jap- anese legation has received from To- kio the following cablegram through the Foreign Office: “Rear Admiral Togo Nashiha (not the seffior Admiral Togo) reports that the fleet under his command, consist- ing o6f four cruisers, three gunboats and thé torpedo-boat flotilla, after successfully repelling the attack of the Russian torpedo-boat destroyers, which emérged from Port Arthur when the disaster to the Hatsuse oc- curred, and rescuing the drowning crew on the 15th inst., entered the gulf of Pechili and reconnoitered along the Kaichau promontory. On the 16th inst. they discovered the enemy ashore, who fled when fired upon. On the 17th the fleet entered Kinchau Gulf and’ bombarded the Russian railway, village, bridge and hml“ tary train.” PEC RS JAPANESE SOLDIERS WELL.

NEW YORK, May 20.—Lew Dock- stader, the minstrel, to-day turned over to the police the moving picture films that were used in a camera yesterday in the Capitol grounds at Washington when photographs were made of a man made up to revresent President Roose- velt extending aid to a negro lying on the ground. The films as yet are unde- veloped. Dockstader’s action followed a visit from a police inspector after a secret service officer from Washington had made a call at the detective bureau and stated that the Washington police wished the films. “I wished' the pictures for a new monologue,” sald Dockstader after leaving the inspector’s office, “and I am sorry that my venture should have caused such a commotion. ‘It is' not true,” said Dockstader, “that I was made up to look like Book~ er T. Washington, although the other man was meant to resemble President Roosevelt. “It was with the most innocent inten- i tipns that I had my conl’ederate made up as the President. 5 P S — JEWELS FROM COFFIN FOUND IN LOW RESORT Gems of Lady Mnry Livingston Dis- covered by Police at an Albany.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 20.—An official .report has been received to the | effect that General Rennenkampff's Cossacks fell on the Japanese columns advancing from Fengwangcheng on Wednesday and that the Japanese were compelled to retreat for a dis- tance of twelve miles. The Russians have evacuated Kaiping (or Kaichou, about thirty-flve miles south of New- chwang) without a fight. Apprehension of Rennenkampff’s Cossacks hovering north, the autho: ties say, may explain the cautious a | tion 6f General Kuroki in establishing a strong base at Fengwangcheng and halting the column which was march- ing on Haicheng. It may also be a solution of the mystery of Newchwang, which at first was reported to have been evacuated and which is now said | to have been reoccupied by the Rus- siaris, for, if Kuroki has definitely stopped his westward movement, Kuropatkin could safely continue to ing force being cut off. The general staff took occasion to- day to deny the report of a baitle having been fought at Kaichou, in which 200 Russians were killed. As a matter of fact, the Russians quietly withdréw from Kaichou, being unwill- ing to expose their force at that point to the attack of a column marching from the east that landed in South- ern Liaotung. The evacuation of Kai- chou also shows, it is said, that there is no truth in the report that Kuropat- kin has sent 10,000 men to retake that place. The report that Kuropatkin has sent 70,000 men to relieve Port to be incredible. Such a move, they #ay, would only court disaster, for Kuroki naturally would take advan- tage of the movement to throw hig en- tire army across the railroad and strike from the rear, while the Jap- anese troops in Southern Liaotung would attack in front. No news has reached here of the en- gagement at Kinchou, and the ab- sence of information is explained by the slowness of communication due to | the strength of the Japanese force as- sailing the Russian positions around Port Arthur. No surprise is expressed at the fact that engagements occur as the Russians fall fack on Port Arthur. It is reiterated that Lieutenant Gen- eral Stoessel's plan does not contem- plate imperiling the fortress by the loss of too many men outside. The authorities rather believe their in- formation that he had almost entirely withdrawn inside the fortress defense several days ago. That the Japanese will strain every nerve to take Port Arthur, in view of the disaster to their fleet, is not questioned in naval clrcles, | and in spite of the danger of Russian mines, Admiral Togo is expected to co- operate in the assault upon Port Arthur. It is suggested that he may land heavy guns, but this is doubted by the general staff, who know that the force which landed at Pitzewo debarked siege guns, which can readily be brought into position before FPort Arthur so soon as the road is clear.

She must have struck a mine or been at- tacked by a submarine boat. Three hundred of her officers and crew were saved. She sank in thirty minutes. | “While she was sinking sixteen of the enemy's torpedo craft appeared, but they were driven off by our fleet.” Vice Admiral Togo's report, as it was received here, is somewhat vague in | places, on account of the fact that it | was transmitted by wireless telegraphy. The following official statement has been issued here: “A section of infantry of the Lia.u-} tung forces went in the direction of | Shanchusan to reconnoiter and met two sections of Russian infantry. The Russians were repulsed in thirty minutes. Our casualties were one of- ficer and four men killed and one officer and eight men wounded.

The remains were dis- covered by James Conn while he was | plowing on a ranch formerly owned by Mrs. Merling, a woman of notorious record. The skeleton, which was crushed, was turned from the earth by the plow a short distance from the house, once the home of the Merling woman.

Mrs. Merling is also said to have shot her husband years ago.
