PETERSBURG, Nov. 5, 4:15 a. m.—St. Petersburg newspepers and their correspendents have been unre- mittent In their efforts to interview Captain Claddo and his fellow officers from the Baltic squadron, who, how- ever, have steadfastly refused to talk for publication. The Novoe Vremya this morning prints a long letter, dated Vigo, Oc- and credited to a member of squadron, containing a sum- :nts leading up to the firing British trawlers and the in- the night of October 21. The at Admiral Rejestvensky Admiralty, before the sailing of the squadron,, received from secret agents a mass of information regard- ing the plans and whereabouts of Jap- e boatsein European waters. The sa; ‘The Japanese had torpedo boats in | the Norwegian fjords and also pur- chased a number of fishing vessels at Hamburg, Hull, Southampton and Christiania. The Russians also pur- chased a nufnber of fishers and small steamers for scouting duty. “The Russian Government warned the governments f Germany, mary of e upon the c ts and the of Den- mark and Great Britain of the inform- ation special precautions be taken to keep the track of t! quadron clear of com- mercial vessels. Germany and Den- mark both responded. Denmark sent a warship with the squadron and warned off a number of fishermen and coasting craft. Before leaving Skagen, Admiral Rojestvensky received further specific information stating that four Japanese tor o-boats, accompanied by a collier, were waiting west of Cape Skagen. The Baltic squadron left in the morning and the Japanese, in order to make a night attack, were obliged | to follow and catch up with the war- | | | ships in the North Sea.” The writer enters into a detalled statement the movements of the various divisions of the squadron the day the sh show ,that al boats were s ft Skagen, tending to he Russian torpedo- ad and that none here in touch with ips and eruisers. The night The Japanese took ‘ Baltic Squadron| Version of the Fir-| British Trawlers! of October 21, according to this letter, Admiral Rojestvensky received a wire- less message from the transport Kamt- | ckatka saying there was trouble with her machinery, that she was thirty| miles in the rear and asked whflheri the squadron would await her arrival | or proceed. Then came a numbep of wireless mes- J sages in Russian, also signed Kamt- | chatka, asking the squadron’s where- | abouts by latitude and longitude, es- | pecially where the battleships Orel and | Kniaz Souvaroff were. These messages | excited suspicion and the flagship re- plied, asking the names-and the num- | ber in the family of a certain officer on beard the Kamtchatka. Thereupon the messages stopped. It was 12:58 o’clock that night, the writer continues, when the squadron saw a green flare, such as is used by vesselg in distress, evi- dently a signal asking the squadron to stop and assist. Soon. thereafter a| searchlight was thrown on the le vessels by a vessel supposed to be ac- | companying the Japanese torpedo- beats. This made the squadron a plain target for attack { At the same time the Russians made out the forms of two torpedo-boats in | the darkness to one side. Searchlights were immediately thrown from the squadron on the strange torpedo-boats, and they instantly darted ahead at full | speed. The squadron opened fire and | the boats came under the guns of the| Orel, Kniaz Souvaroff and the Borodino. It is thought that one was sunk. Mean- time the squadron got entangled with the trawler fleet, which was duplnrin‘i no lights, flags or signals. Admiral Ro- | jestvensky. however, despite the fact | that some of them were close enough | to do serious damage had they had evul i intentions, signaled the squadron to| | stop firing. Some of the trawlers werei then close under the bows of the squad- ron. The Russian ships did not stop either | to assist or to inquire if assistance were needed. Such proceeding at night time, the letter says, would have been entire- %{ name of the Company—California Fig Hich CLAss DRrucGISTS AND — OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devots their lives to the welfare of their fellow in supplying the best of remedi purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ preseriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and eorresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits . conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usvally their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full Syrup Co.—printed on ‘the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular babits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are giad to sell it because it gives universal satisiaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the jmmense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but thAerev are _individual druggists to be found, here and there, wha do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate .to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—* Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fctitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer s preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of ysicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. owing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist j# is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class ot druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. In order to sell the imitations 1y too hazardous.

Griffith, wife of the wealthy clubman who is now in jail pending an appeal of his conviction for having attempted to murder her. Grif- fith made no contest of the case and was not in court. Cruelty was alleged as the ground of divorce and in support of her com- plaint Mrs. Griffith told from the wit- ness stand the story of the shooting. The crime was committed at the Hotel Arcadia, at Santa Monica. Griffith fired twice at his wife, one bullet de- stroying one of her eyes. To escape him she leaped from a window and in the fall fractured her arm and collap bone. After hearing her story Judge Allen asked if there had been any provocation. “Not the slightest in the worid,” she replied. “It was a deliberate act.” The decree was granted and the cus- tody of the only child given to the mother. Griffith was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to two years in San Quentin and fined $5000, the maximum penalty. His case is before the Supreme Court. ———— e ——— Captured in Stockton. , STOCKTON, Nov. 4—David Law- rence, who is wanted in Sacramento for passing a bogus check for $100 on Hall, Luhrs & Co., was arrested here to-day by Chief W.
