Now one of the survivors, a a officer, hi permitted to tell his story to the public. He says: "It was an extremely cold night, with a gale and snow. At two minutes past midnight the ship struck a mine and a terrible explosion occurred, the sea leaping high above the ship. The mine made a breach six feet in diameter in the middle of the water-line on the ieft side. "In fifteen minutes the electric Sights suddenly went out and everything was dark except for a light on the bridge and the glare of rockets telling of the riL:ixtf?r \ "At 12.42 a. m. the vessel reported her condition to our squadron by wireless telegraph.

Then at the instance of Captain Ishibashi rousing banzais were shouted for the Mikado, the empire and the navy, "after which the crew sang a naval song, 'Gallant Sailors.' "Owing to the list the captain and others gathered ou the bridges, in the masts au-l netting, and waited. The waves rose higher and the snow fell thicker. "At 1.10 the vrssel suddenly careened, and after once clipping her masts into the waves, raised herself with a convulsive shudder and plunged to thibottom. "Three boats which had been lowered fortunately were afloat, with their regulation crews on board, and they did their utmost to rescue the officers and men: but the fate of the boats themselves seemed precarious. "A few minutes later a searchlight was se?n to the southeast. The war ship Ottowa came to tlio- rescue, stopped 300 yards away, used all her search lights, and s?nt threa boats to the rescue. The men. who had resigned themselves to death, cricd for help. "But only one hundred and thirtythree. including Captain Ishibashi. were saved, more tiian three hundred' and sixty being lost, including Coir mandcr Nakayama.

London, England.?The Tokio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says tliat a Japanese army lias been lauded north of Vladivostok, and that the complete envelopment of the fortress is imminent. I*: is known (hat a fleet of Japanese transports recently left (Jen-San, Korea, and their supposed destination was Possiet Bay, south of Vladivostok. It is possible that a landing was instead made north of the fortress, am? it is of couyse also possible that the Russian stronghold is being threatened from both north and south. That it is being threatened from the west seems certain. Even more mystery has surrounded the movements of Marshal Oyama's armies recently than before the battles of Liao.vang and Mukden. The Russian General Staff has frankly admitted that it is mystitied. The news, however, that the Japanese last month made a raid on Omoso, 150 miles east of Kirin, and between that place and Vladivostok, was confirmed on good authority, and it was Ihouglft that this raid had beeu ordered i<v Mi? Jan.-inesp Staff in order to make sure ef-the ground on General-Hasegawa's left before the expected advance of lh.it General on the lower Tumen and Vladivostok. The strength of Vladivostok is unknown outside the fortress, except by the authorities in St. Petersburg. It was recently stated that General Liuevitch had a number of twelve-inch and nine-inch guns. A. British military critic remarked that these were about as suitable an ornament for an army in the Held as a cameleopard in a lady's boudoir, but whether suitable or not, there is little doubt that the guns same from Vladivostok, and it has been suggested that the Czar is not desirous of making the Japanese "another pfes eat of a bouquet of 528 guns, as at Port Arthur." General Cbreshchatitzki commands troops in the Ussuri region, with Major General Rutkovski as Chief of Staff. Lieutenaut-tJeneral Kasbek commands at Vladivostok and his troops include seven battalions of fortress artillery and throe companies of sappers and miners. Japanoso Jfo Atijals. r/Ondon, England. ? Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister here, scicl that Russia liad appointed good men as [leace plenipotentiaries. Nevertheless, even M. Witte and Baron Rosea had not inspired Japan with confidence in a favorable outcome of the negotiations. "We do not know," the Minister idti^d, "what powers have been delegated to them, and after the events of the past eighteen mouths Japan puts faith only in accomplished facts. The terms will be communicated only at tlie conference. Then we will discover what powers the Russian plenipotentiaries possess." It was suggested that the general opinion prevailed that the Japanese terms would be moderate. "I cannot see where people get .such an idea." replied the Minister. "The public evidently mistakes the Japanese for angels." Minister Haynshi intimated that Japan was ready to continue the war unless she secured suitable terms. He called attention to the fact thai practically the entire sum realized by the last two loans was unexpended, and said the capture of the Island of Sakhalin was not precipitated by the approach of the conference, but was a natural sequence of the Japanese campaign, the plans for which had not been altered since Russia acceded to a conference. An earlier attack on the isiaud was not undertaken principally because of the severe winter and be cause the summer season was more preferable for campaigning and the establishment of a new government in the island.

At 4.2S o'clock Glover swam to the end of the pier in Lewiston and was hauled out of the river quickly by the judges and others awaiting him.

Glover beat Graham by four minutes, covering: the distance of four miles in twenty-six minutes. It was said earlier in the day that the two swimmers would tempt fate by trying to swim through the upper rapids in which Captain Webb, the brave English swimmer, lost his life many years rgo, and much excitement resulted. It subsided somewhat, how, ever, when announcement was made that the race would be through the lower rapids, which are not nearly so dangerous. From Flat Rock, on the American side, the start was made at 4.02 o'clock, and the course was from there to Lewiston, on the American side. Glover took the lead from the start. Ilis father watched the contest from a flat car, which ran along the Gorge. Glover entered the rapids a minute ahead of Graham. Both of the sturdy swimmers were held fast in the grasp of the swift current and roaring rapids until they reached the Devil's Hole. There it was that Glover, who is thirty-eight years old. was caught by thie whirlpool and sucked under.
