April 25, the Russians sank at sea the same evening the Japanese steamer Nakamura Maru, of 220 tons, whose crew was saved, PRAISE FOR DROWNED JAPS. The satisfaction of the people of St. Petersburg at the exploits of the Vladivostok squadron is tempered with adiniration for the bravery of the Japanese soldiers who were on board the sunken transport Kinshiu Maru, and who preferred to drown rather than surrender. Rear-Admiral Yeszen’s report adds that 200 men went down with the transport. The Admiralty admits that the men acted heroically, but holds that Admiral Yeszen had no other alternative than to sink the transport, as he could not spare a prize crew or hamper his swift squadron with a slower steamer. It is pointed ont that the officers on board the Kinshiu Maru appreciated the situation by accepting the imprisonment rather than death. In the case oft he smaller Japancse transport sunk by the torpedo boats at Won San (Gensan) the crew were sent ashore because there was no ac- qommodations for them on the torpedo-boats. The crew on the apanese steamer Nakamura Maru, as well as the Japanese of the Kinshiu Meru who surrendered, have been taken to the Russian cruisers. DO NOT FEAR SURPR®SE. ‘The Admiralty here professes ignorance as to the future plans of Ad- miral Yeszen, but it is believed he {s in communication with Viadivosto< | by wireless telegraphy and {s not likely to be surprised by the Japanese by the squadron sent to prevent his return. Reports from St. Petersburg yesterday stated that Japanese transports with 4,000*troops on board, had been sunk by the Russians. It is not im- possible that this was the first exaggerated account of the affair that is now officially reported. JAPS ATTACK LIZAVENA AND ARE DRIVEN BACK. LIAOYANG, April 28.—It is sald here to-day that the Japanese troops on April 26-27 charged the Russian forces near Lizavena, a village on -he Manchurian bank of the Yalu River. The Japanese were repulsed with losses. What their losses were cannot be learned here. During the engagement two Japanese gunboats steamed up the Yalu River, when the Russian battery at Amisan fired upon them so effectively that both vessels got out of range. JAP ACCOUNTS OF YALU FIGHTING. TOKIO, April 28.—The Jepanese gunboat Maya, escorting a fleet of torpedo boats, entered the mouth of the Yalu River on Monday and moved toward Wiju. Enroute it fought a series of small engagements with the Russian forees protecting the right bank of the river. These encounters transpired frequently throughout Monday and Tuesday. Admiral Hosoya, commanding the third squadron, in reporting the operations, says: “Our detachment reached the Yalu River Monday, and while going up stream the enemy's field guns opened against us without effect. We dis- covered a force of the enemy on an island in midstream and when we fired on them they fled. On Tuesday the enemy's cavalry, 1,000 strong, attacked our launch, Our torpedo boat, No. 69, replied and the enemy fled into the mountains. From Antsu-Shan we replied to the enemy's guns and silenced them after half an hour. There were no casualties on our side,” JAP ARMY IS NEAR THE YALU. PARIS, April 28.—The Temps: correspondent at St. Petersburg tele- graphs as follows: “A Russian column {s about twenty miles from Wonsan (Gensan), where the Japanese garrison has fortified itself. The Vladivostok squadron supports the movement of the Russian column, Some skirmishes have oc- curred on the right bank of the Yalu, resulting favorably to the Russians. Thus far only the advance guard of the Japanese ‘thas crossed the river, but the passage of the entire Japanese army {s imminent.” JAP SQUADRON AGAIN SHELLS PORT ARTHUR. PORT ARTHUR, April 28.—Japanese torpedo boats were sighted at 1,10 this morning, covered by a Japanese squadron. A few shots were fired without damage, after which the Japanese ships disappeared southward. + JAP ARMY HAMPERED BY CORRESPONDENTS. WASHINGTON, April 28.—The great number of newspaper correspon- dents despatched to the Far East has overwhelmed the Japanese Govern- ‘j]ment, and United States Minister Griscom cabled the State Department from Tokio that further applications in behalf of correspondents for per- mission to accompany the Japanese forces in the field cannot be granted. It 1s estimated that there already are at least 200 American and European correspondents travelling with the Japanese army. WORLD: THURSDAY EVENING, APRIT, 28, 1904..

Mr. Frohman Expects to Meet” with Some Opposition, but Says He Believes It Would Cause No Disorder. --4 ‘Charles Frohman, who probably com trols more theatres than any other one man in the country, has, after a caveful riudy of the refreshment saluon annex to the London theatres, decided that « similar system would be popular in this, country, He has announced that as soon as he returns here he will begin agitating for a special form of Iivense, which will permit of the rale of liquare and solid refreshments in the theatres of this city. Although Mr. Frohman's {dea will probably be oposed by church folks, just as every scheme which makes the con- sumption of liquor more convenient for the consumer fs, it is a fact that in Lom- don the system has prevailed for many years, and has been one of the chief attractions of the English theatres and » concert halls, Inoffensive, He Says. Mr Frohman says that he would be the last man to advocate the sale of liquor in the theatres {f he believed it would tend to promote viclousness OF disorder.
