The J j Fleet Now in Manila BayManila, Juno 3.?Rear Admiral j Enquist, who was commander of the | heavy cruiser squadron of the Russian fleet, arrived in the bay at 9 o'clock ibis morning on board his flagship, the protected cruiser Aurora, accompanied by the protected cruisers Gleg and Jemtchug. ill the vdobbio were more er ;ess uamugeu and there were many wounded men on board. Rear Admiral Train on board bis flagship, the battleship Ohio, with the Wisconsin, OregoD, Raleigh and Cincinnati was outside Corregidor island nianeouvering wben the Aurora saluted with thirteen guns and the Ohio answered. Admiral Train and bis squadron, accompanied the Russian vessels to Manila. In the present circumstances vessels of either of th6 belligerent nations would be permitted to remain at a neutral port oDly 24 hours; or, if the ships were unseaworthy nnlv Irtno or>rknr*Vt fr? onohla in VU?J VUVW^U VW VUWWIV ? V make the necessary temporary repairs, in order that they might reach their nearest home port. "What, if any, request Admiral Enquist may make concerning the disposition of the vessels, is not koown here. He may a9k that the vessels be interned at Manila. Such a request would be granted by this government. The cruisers then would be in a position precisely similar to that of th6 Russian ship Lena, which about ten months ago was interned at San Francisco. ENQUIST INTERVIEWED In an interview, Rear Admiral Enquist's executive officer said: ' When the battle began the admiral was aboard the cruiser Oleg which was hit a number of times by large shot. There was an increased rain of shot from quick firing guns, and the ship was soon badly damaged. "The admiral transferred his flag to the Aurora, which then drew the combined fire of many torpedo boat destroyers at close range and the attack of submarines. We were overwhelmed by the latter. A mist aris n i ? a - lDg, we maae a aasn lor the open sea and were followed by the Oleg and the Jemtchug.' Rear Admiral Eoquist is uninjured. Capt. Egoreff, of the Aurora, was killed by a shell, which struck the conning tower, and he was buried at sea the day before reaching Manila. On the Aurora three officers were wounded, twenty of the crew were killed and 83 were wounded. The losses on the Oleg were 13 of the crew killed and 18 wounded. < On the Jemchug the casualties j were 21 junior officers killed and 1 wounded, 12 of the crew killed and . 30 wounded. 1 From their appearance, the Russian i vessels are not damaged below the water line. Their funnels, however, j are riddled by large and small shot, j Several large shells pierced the cruisers amidships and a number of guns \ KENT STORE.

WANT TWO WEEKS* TIME Manila, June 4?(11 a. m.)?Rear Admirals Train and Eoquisfc are now conferring in reference to the Russian warships which arrived yesterday. According to an unofficial reDorfc o r Rear Admiral Eoauist asks for fourteen days' time in which to repair, coal and provision his vessels. It is said further that be alleges that the ships are uneeawortby and are damaged below the water line. Rear Admiral Train will probably, appoint a board to investigate the condition of I the Russian vessels. Both he and Rear Admiral Enquist are working in harmony. Thirty-four seriouBly wounded Russian sailors were placed in the naval hospital at Cavite today. Rear Admiral Enquist left the scene of the fighting before the battle was finished and be did not learn the final details until he reached Manila. HEAVILY DAMAGED Manila, June 4.? Rear-Admiral Train has appointed the following board to investigate tbe condition of the Russian warships which arrived here yesterday and satd to be in unssaworthy condition: Commander Calkins, Lieut. Commanders McElroy and Thomas Cirpenter Harding, i Rear-Admiral Train has offered the Russian ships the necessary coal in lieu of fourteen days here, but there is a question whether the Russians will be able to carry such quantitiy of coal on account of their damaged hulls. The deaths today aboard the Russian Bhips now bring the total of killed up to forty-one, and there are five additional cases in the hospital. American navy surgeons are assisting the Russi&Q surgeons in their work of caring for the wounded. RearAdmiral Eoquist now claims that he lost his flagship in the naval fight and then transferred his flag to the Aurora and left the fight Saturday night. He said that he did net know that the fight was continued Sunday. He declared that the Japanese attack was so sudden and ferocious that his section was completely overwhelmed. The ships of his section while attempting to reach Yiadivc&tok were at the same time looking for a fight with the Japanese and when they encountered their opponents fought gallantly. The Russian ships steamed into Manila at a speed of fifteen knots. The Russians are now taking on food supplies.

Rear Admiral Eoquist replied: "Hy ships are uoeeaworthy. I have not heard from my government and I request time to make repairs. Governor "Wright then said that according to his construction of the neutrality laws ;fche Russian vessels could remain long enough to make necessary repairs atd after these were finished, they mu6t leave within 24 hours, or dismantle and interne. Rear Admiral Eiquist requested permission to bring his ships behind the breakwater for repairs. This rr quest was granted him and the ship3 will be m)ved Tuesday morning.

OLEG SUFFERED MOST. Manila, Juae 4 ?The naval board which has examined into the condition of the Russian warships here reports that the Oleg will require sixty days, the Aurora thirty days and the Jemtchug seven days to effect repairs. Admiral Eoquiet has requested permission to repair here saying that he would be unable to sail except in a smooth sea. on account of his vessels needing pitching near the water line. The Japanese consul at Manila called on Governor-General Wright twice today to make inquires regarding the disposition of the Russian vessels FVOTTTST TS HF AFT-RRnFFX Rear-Admiral Enquist and staff then called upon Major General Corbin, to whom Rear Admiral Eoquist expressed great gratitude for the hospitality and comfort afforded them aud the courtesy with which General Corbin offered the use of army hospitals together with surgeons and food for the Russian soldiefs. General Corbie, said: "Admiral, how many Admirals were there in the fight?" "There were four of us," said the Admiral. The others are in better luck than I." The tears were streaming down the Russian officer's face as he said this. MUST INTERNE. Washington, June 5.?Admiral Eaquist will not be allowed to repair his ships at Manila. This government has decided that as the injuries to the vessels were not caused by the sea or storm they will be obliged to refuse permission for the vessels to be repaired there. Today, Secretary Taft cabled the following instructions to Gov. Wright at Manila regarding the ships: ' Ticne cannot be given for the repair of the injuries received in battle. ia,sTc. its, Uewer G-oo mi in order to get room for fall and winter iw.

Batiste, fast colors, new goods, yard 25c. an< Dompan Therefore fcbe vessels cannot be repaired unless interned until the end of hostilities." Admiral Train has been instructed accordingly. It was stated by Secretary Taft that if the Russians vessels agreed to leave Manila in their present condition they were welcome to do so, but as it did not appear that they suffered from any damage by the sea or storm this government was obliged to take the position above outlined.

How many grown women can look back at their childhood and feel that if they bad only been understood by their elders, much misery and real agony would have been spared tbem and much happiness added to their present life? Children are children, it is true, but no two of them are alike. A kind word and loving caress will go a great deal further with some child's nature than punishment. It is a strange provision of Mother Nature that a child often embodies the character of an ancestor several venerations back instead of the parents. Too often this is not understood, and the mode and disposition which would tend and obey a gentle treatment is subjected to a harsh jne. It is a safe course to exhaust svery resource of gentleness and love oefore taking to a rod. I do not beieve in the maxim "spare the rod md spoil the child." I prefer "love ;he child and it will love and comfort pou in your later years. The marks )f a punisment unjustly given often remain on the mind throughout life, ind a kiss given at a right moment jften brings forth a harvest of love. The members of the Antioeh Baptist church are preparing to have the jhurch repaired and some improvements made on it. Inward religion without the outward show of it is like a tree without, fruit, useless; and the outward show' )f religion without inward sincerity's like a tree without heart, lifeless.
