Plflcky Japs Meet With Another Disaster
On Sea
SUNK BY MINE AND COLLISION
The Battleship Hatsuse Struck a Russian
Mine and the Cruiser Yoshino
was Rammed During a Fog by the
Kasuga.
Tokio, By Cable.?Vice Admiral Togo
has reported as follows:
"A report from Rear Admiral Dewa
says that the cruiser Kasuga and Yoshino
collided during a fog ofT Port
Arthur on May 15. The Yoshino sank,
only 90 of her crew being saved.
"On the same day the battleship Hatsuse
struck a Russian mine and
sank."
Giving details of the disaster. Vies
Admiral Togo soys:
"At 14 minutes past 1 in the afternoon
of May 15, in a deep fog off Port
Arthur, the Kasuga rammed the Yoshino,
sinking the latter in a few minutes.
Ninety of her crew were saved.
"The same morning the Hatsuse,
while cruising off Port Arthur, covering
the landing of the soldiers, struck a
mine ten knots southeast of the harbor
entrance. She signaled for help, and
instantly struck another mine. She
sank in half an hour. Three hundred
of her crew were saved by torpedo
boats."
The Yoshino was a cruiser of 4,180
tons displacement and 15,000 indicated
horse-power. She was built in England,
was launched in 1892, was 350 feet
long, had 4GH feet beam, and her draft
was 17 feet The armament of the Yoshino
consisted of four 6-inch guns,
eight 4.7-inch guns and twenty-three Impounders.
She had five torpedo tubes,
her armored deck was 4% inches thick
and her gun positions were protected
by shields. The cruiser's speed was
estimated to be 23 knots, her coal capacity
was 1,000 tons, und her crew
numbered 300 men.
The Hatsuse was a hattleshin of 15.
000 tons displacement and of the latest
model. She was only completed in
1900, was built in England, was 400 feet
long, had 76^ feet beam, drew 27 feet
of water, had 16,300 indicated horsepower,
and was fitted with water tube
boilers. She was completely armored
with steel. Ker armament consisted of
four 12-inch guns, fourteen 6-inch guns,
twenty* 12-poundsrs, eight 3-pounders,
and four 21,?-pounders. She had four
torpedo tubes, her estimated speed was
19.11 knots. Her crew numbered 741
men.
St. Petersburg, By Cable.?The loss
of at least two Japanese warships is
officially confirmed. A message dated
Port Arthur, received by carrier pigeon
at Mukden, was transmitted to th*>
Emperor early yesterday morning, say
ing that two Japanese warships had
been lost off that port. The message
followed the Emperor to Koursk. and
no one here know its oontents until
late last night, when foreign telegrams
brought full details of the Japanese
loss.
Early in the afternoon, reports of

IIIC Siu rviu J, \J L I 11 C OUA<VIOH<U<M MUX* IKV
Fuji, on the authority of Russian refugees
from Dalny, began to circulate
and aroused the most intense interest.
When, later, confirmation came of the
sinking of the Japanese warships, the
greatest enthusiasm was manifested.
Without reference to its effect on the
campaign, the people attribute the enemy's
disaster to divine interposition
in the Russian cause.
In naval circles the Japanese ratastiophe
is a matter for rejoicing, though
1 egrets are expressed that brave men
have lost their lives. But this feeling
of sympathy is swallowed up in the
greater thanksgiving for the blow inflicted
on the sea power of the enemy.
It is pointed out that the Hatsuse was
one of Japan's finest battleships, and
that the loss of two. and Dossiblv four
warships at intervals of r few days,
cannot fail to deeply afreet Japan and
to influence the course of the campaign.
The general staff tonight is
without direct news of the sinking of
the Japanese ships, but there is an impression
that it may be true. The reports,
at any rate, have infused fresh
life and enthusiasm in official circles,
where it is believed the tide has turned.
No surprise is expressed by the admirality
at the Japanese vessels striking
Russian mines, the admiralty expecting
that such a mishap to Vice
Admiral Togo, particularly since the
naval commanders at Port Arthur have
faithfully duplicated his plan, which
resulted in the sinking of the Petropavlovsk.
Warships Unrestricted.
Washington, Special?China has been
informed that the Washington government
claims the right to dispatch
warships, not only to those Chinese
ports declared by treaty to be open to
the world, but also upon the inland waters
of China, "Whereever Americans
may be and where by treaty with
China they are authorized to engage in
business or reside for the purpose of
spreading the Gospel."

A SERIOUS WRECK
Heaviest Damage Experienced in the
History of Lake Navigation
LARGE STEAMER GOES TO PIECES
British Steamer Turret Bay, of 2,211
T /!?? di?^*c_PIu? of the
I Ulli)) UUC.O iV * ivvvtf . ,.v ..
Crew Die While Being Taken to
Land.
North Sidney, Nova Scotia, Special.?
The worst marine disaster in the history
of the St. Lawrence river coal
trade occurred Friday off Cape North,
the northernmost point of Cape Breton,
when the British steamer Turret Bay,
landed with coal and bound from Sydney
to Montreal, struck on the rocks
of St. Paul's Island, and sank in deep
water twenty minutes later, causing a
loss of thirteen lives. Only nine men
from a crew of twenty-two were saved.
The dead: J. H. Hayden, captain;
M. A. Cara. first officer; G. F. Gray,
second officer; W. H. Adams, chief
engineer; H. S. Matthews, second engineer;
George Johnson, boatswain, together
with the steward, name unknown;
cook, mess-room hoy, two firemen,
a seaman and a helper.
According to the government agent
at St. Paul's Island, the steamer
struck near Southwest Light, about
8:30 o'clock Friday morning. A dense
fog prevailed at the time, and the sea
was running mountains high. Almost
immediately the Turret Bay backed off
into deep water, but sank within
twenty minutes. The crew attempted
to cut the boats clear, but while thus
engaged the vessel plunged down bow
first, carrying every man aboard with
her. Some of the men struggled to the
surface and clung to floating pieces of
wreckage. Fourteen persons were taken
off the wreckage by the life-saving
crew that put out from the island, but
five of them died before reaching the
island.
The survivors say that they did not
know that they were in danger until
the vessel struck. The fog was so
thick that the shore could not be seen,
and, hearing the foghorn at the lighthouse,
they mistook it for the whistle
of another steamer.
The disaster occurred nineteen miles
north of Cape North. There is a lighthouse
en the northeast point of St.
Paul's Island, and also one on the
southwest point, and a steam fog whistle
is situated near the southwest light.
It was this whistle that the crew of
the Turret Bay heard. ?
Admiral at Vladivostock.
Vladivostok, uy v,ad?e.?auuuw
Skrydloff arrived here Saturday afternoon.
He was met at the station,
outside of Viadivostock by Major Gen.
Voronetz and deputations of the military,
naval and municipal authorities,
as well as by an enthusiastic crowd,
and was presented with bread and
salt. Entering the town, the admiral
drove to the pier in an open carriage
and escorted by Cossacks, and boarded
the cruiser Rossia, on which a short
service was held. The chaplain sprinkled
and blessed the admiral's flag before
it was run up "to the masthead,
where it was greeted with a salute
from all the cruisers in the harbor.
The admiral addressed the officers
and crew of the Rossia, saying:
"The Emperor ordet*^ me to convey
his greeting and loyal thanks for your
gallant services in consideration of
which he reduces your tour of sea
tn three vears."
Admiral Skrydloffs reception was of
the heartiest everywhere, he being a
great favorite when last at Vladivostock.
Capital Stock Increased.
Trenton, Special.?The . Virginia
Carolina Chemical Co. filed a certificate
with the Secretary of State, increasing
its authorized capital stock
from $50,000,000 to $58,000,000, of

and $20,000,000 preferred, the latter
paying 8 per cent, dividends. The
certificate is signed by S. T. Morgan,
president of the company.
The Flood Damage.
Fort Coljins. Colo., Special.?Estimates
of the damage caused by the
flood in the Cache La Poudre Valley
run from $1,000,000 upwards. The head
gates of all the irrigating ditches have
been washed away, and miles of embankments
destroyed. Unless repairs
can be made in time to save water for

Chicago, Special.?"God never mads

In their unnatural paller these bleached

them."
So said Rev. H. M. Turner, Senior
Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church in an address at the annual
conference. Many negroes were
present and applauded wildly. The
bishop continued:
"What we negroes need is more education.
We should write books of our
own, poems and scientific treatises of
our own, in harmony with our color
and race. Don't learn songs like 'Wash,
me and I shall be whiter than snow.' J
A song I would not tolerate if sung in \

wherever our race tries to rise and
