Those ot the survivors who swajn ashore were captured by Japanese soldiers. As the cruiser Varinif was steam- ing out of the harbor she was met by a hail of shells, and her mast speedily fell. Her crew fought with desperate energy for several hours. According to one report, after she had taken refuge among the Polynes- ian Islands, her captain ordered the crew to save themselves, and then liimsclt blew up his ship. wn.s NO ATTI'JMPT TO LAND.

A despatch from Paris soys: The feeling against the Japanese is grow- ing here. Angry indignation is ex- pressed at what is described as their briital violation of the law recogniz- ed b.v civilized States jn attacking tho Ilussians without a formal dec- laration of war. Such a treacherous act, it is declared, proclaims the bar- barism of the Japanese. The Nation- alist press is particularly noisy and violent. .Tho bulk of other press opinion is naturally for Russia. The Journal des Debats, discu««ine the propos.tl of Secretary of State Hay, sees in it an intention to side di- rectly with Japan by raising tho Mnnchurian <|uostion. It says that if tic United States does not desire more than the i.inintenance ot the open door she ought to be satisfied with the assurances Russia has given to all tho powers. Russio will sim- ply refer the United States to her former statement. The Journal ad- vises the United States to abstain from a step that is destined to end in her own confusion. RUSSIA'S ARTILLERY. A despatch from London says: Ac- cordinif to .a despatch mailed from St. I'eti'rsbiirg, Ru.ssia completed her artiller.v efpiipment in the T'ar East by despatching on Feb. 7th soventy- t,wo fiuiek-liring guns, of tho type that were conspicuous in tho Dreyfus case, which have since then been much improved. It is stated that they are now superior to any guns of that class in the world. They fire 28 rounds a minute. Seventeen carloads of ammunition accompanied the guns. JOY IN BRITAIN. A despatch from London says: The great joy of the Dritish people at the news of the Juiianesc succe.s.ses in the Far East is jjlainly manifested at the Japanise lx>gation in hundreds of letters and telegr.unis from all parts of the country. The communications are so nmnerous that it is ini|)ossi- lile to reply to them individually. Many of the letters contain requests for permission to serve in the Japan CSC army and navy. COMJMANl) OF TlIK SEA. A dspatcli from liOndon says: All the iJapeiK recognize that Japan has Hi'cured beyond dispute the coimnand of the sea. and tho general tendency is to lelicve that this ensures liual vj( tor.v. The Daily Telegraph se..vs:â€" "Upon one point ot vital interest and im- portance, the opening movements of tho ttrnggle have removed all un- certainty. Then' is no longer an.v doubt as to Japan's nmin objective. â- Whither she means to occupy Co- rea or not, she does not mean to contino her.seli' to Corea. She has salislied lu-rseli' that her nationnl des- tiny must be fought out in Manchur- ia, and, throwing herself at once against I'ort Arthur, she lays her axe to the root. If the JlikacVo's fleet can oKtaln command of the .sea. they ran isolate Port Arthur sooner or later, and in that case it would be starved out, even if it were not carried by assault at one oi the sev- eral points where the iiiiiiiense peri- meter of its for(i(ication is believed to be iiiadetiiuitely garrisoned. "Should Japan prove able to siczn the Cibraltar of the Far l^ast and to hold it, the Maiiehurian Railway Would lose, from the Russian point of view, its reason ot being. The head o( tho lance, as it wi-re, wnuhl be sna|iped olf. and in her attempt to retake Port Arthur the Ihi.ssian power In the I'Vir East would bleed to death, even if the .lapaneao army refrained for some lime from carr.v- ing the military part of tho cam- paign inlo the heart of debatable ter- ritoiy.'"
