The viceroy leaves toâ€"night. C Great Grief Over the Disaster at Port Arthur. St. Petersburg cable: _ With bowed heads, but with unshaken hearts, the Russians met the dreadful calamity of yesterday. Sorrow for the loss, but unâ€" diminished confidence in ultimate vicâ€" tory, is the note struck by this mornâ€" ing‘s papers. An editorial in the Russ may be taken as voicing the national feeling. "Let us" it reads "remain calm. It is a black day but we have been struck by blind fate not by the enemy." oi cdhwqmmatind B eautedir en T i The people sat up all night last night awaiting further details of the catastroâ€" phy and the news of Prince Outomsky‘s battle with the Japanese fleet and this morning hurried out in a raging snow storm to sean the bulletin boards, but nothing further had come. e c L The Associated Press is authoritativeâ€" 1y informed that the despatches given out last night represent all the news reâ€" ceived from the far east.

His last message was dated April 13, and conveyed his Easter greetings. The deceased Admiral added that he was passing Easter evening on board a gunboat stationed at the mouth. of the harbor. Prior to the sending of M. Loubet‘s telegram, the French Embassy at St. Petersburg received an official assurance that the accident was due to the Petâ€" ropavlovsk striking a mine, which had become loosened from its moorings durâ€" ing the recont storm. Some special desâ€" patches received here assert that the Japanese torpedoed the Petropavlovsk, but the officials agcept the Russian verâ€" sion of the sinking of the battleship. Foreign Minister Delcasse called .t the Russian Embassy toâ€"day and formâ€" ally expressed his deep sympathy. Alâ€" though without specific advices, the offiâ€" cials say Viveâ€"Admiral Makarofi‘s sueâ€" cessor probably will be Viceâ€"Admiral Skrydlof?, comander of the Black Sca fleet, or Rearâ€"Admiral Rojestvensky, in command of the Baltic squadron,. The former shared Makaroff‘s reputation for energy and fighting abiiity, and recently visited the Emperor, who hesitated beâ€" tween Makaroff and Skrydloff. However, the Matin‘s correspondent at St. Petersâ€" burg says Admiral Rojestvensky will probably succeed Admiral Makaroff. Did the Japs Sink the Petropavlovsk? A Tokoi cable says: _ A brief reâ€" port from Rear Admiral Uruia, of Wedâ€" nesday‘s fighting off Port Arthur, was received by the Navy Department. It says Viceâ€"Admiral Togo‘s fleet attacked Port Arthur in the morning and sucâ€" coeded in sinking a battleship of the Petâ€" ropavlovsk class, and one torpedoâ€"boat destroyer. The Japanese sustained _ no dosses. One Japanese was wounded, A detailed report of the engagement is exâ€" pected hourly. aBi A Paris cable says: President Loubet telegraphed to Emperor Nicholas his profound condolences on the disaster of the Petropavlovsk and the death of Viceâ€" Admiral Makaroff. This despatch, together with those of Emperor William and the King of Italy, sent yesterday, is regarded here as significant of the acâ€" ceptance of the European governments that the sinking of the Petropavlovs« was due to an accident, and did not ocâ€" cur during a battle with the Japanese ships. The officials say condolences over the result of a battle might involve questions of neutrality, whereas conâ€" dolences over an accident do rot involve neutrality. t A Chefoo eable says: _ It has beon learned from Japanese sources that the attack on the Russian Port Arthur fleet of yesterday morning was planned and put into effect in the following manner: At daylight the Japanese torpedo boats made a demonstration before the port, and at the same time laid mines across the outer entrance to. the harbor. They then retired and joined the main squadâ€" rom. The squadron then advanced and as it drew near the Russian ships were seen coming out.

The bodies of twenty dead Russians, the telegram adds, were found after the fight. Their uniforms showed that they belonged to the Tenth Regiâ€" ment of Slmrglshooters. Finally, the deâ€" spatch says, that small parties of Rusâ€" sians, without uniforms, have atâ€" tempted to cross the Yalu River at difâ€" ferent points between Wiju and Yongâ€" ampo, and that they were all driven back. Only a Part of Him. Tokio cable: A fragment of the body of Commander Hirose, who was. killed on March 27 in the second atâ€". tempt to bottle up Port Arthur, was interred toâ€"day. The remains were borne through the streets on a gun carâ€" riage, with battalions of marines preâ€" ceding and following the cortege as an escort from the Navy Club to the Aoâ€" vama cemetery. _A throng of people filled the streets and reverently uncovâ€" ered when the little casket passed. The medals granted the deceased for valorâ€" ous conduct were carried in the procesâ€" sion on silken pillows, and the entire navy staff walked behind the casket. Besides full military honors paid the dead officer, whiteâ€"robed priests perâ€" formed the Shinto burial ceremonial. What the Fight Was About. Weiâ€"Haiâ€"Wei cable: The _ action fought off Port Arthur appears to have consisted, according to the reports reâ€" ceived here, of an unsuccessful attempt made by four Japanese cruisers and one battleship to intercept a large Russian cruiser coming from the east. The Rusâ€" | C . 1 . 14 3 a/0s t hedc ho alih Jns o n > 1 t ang sian protected eruiser Askold and a batâ€" tleship of the Pobieda type went to the assistance of the Russian eruiser referâ€" red to. The forts at Port Arthur did not participate in the action. The firing was continuous, but was of short duration. The Espiegle, which brought the news here, was unable, owing to the distance, to ascertain the damage done. Over the Loss of the Battleship and the Wounding of Cyril. . late St. Potersburg cable . says: Intense excitement has been caused here by reports spread broadcast in this city regarding the disaster at Port Arthur, the Grand Duke Cyril being reported wounded and the battleship Petropayâ€" lovsk sunk, and Viceâ€"Admiral Makaroff killed. But the reports are. very conâ€" flicting as to Makarofi‘s death and as to whoether the catastrophe was the result of a fight with the enemy or due to the Petropavlovsk striking a mine in the harbor. Some of the rumors declare that Makaroff was on board the Petropayâ€" lovsk and others say he was not on board. The report that there has been a fight seems to have originated out of the stpposition that the Petropavlovsk could not have sustained such injuries otherâ€" wise. It is also pointed out that it was known that the Ja‘(‘mnese had been hovâ€" Sring in the neighborhood for several ays. Later, it became known that the first telegram received by Grand Duke Vladâ€" imir said briefly that Grand Duke Cynl had been wounded and that the Petroâ€" pavlovsk had been Wst, without menâ€" tioning a fight. The mass of the reports agree in two statementsâ€"that Grand Duke Cyril, between whom and the throne there is only one single life, was wounded, and that the Petrepaviovsk was lost. The correspondent of the AssoCIated Press has been cautionced by a high auâ€" thority to be extremely reserved about accepting the reports current in the city. The date of that disaster has not been :]lnounced officially up to the present ime. ST. PETERSS8URG EXCITE us ol Who was Saved from the Petropavlovsk.

Before the‘ crew could flood the port eom%artments of the vessel in order to keep her on an even keel, she turned turtle and sank in a few minutes, carrying down almost the entire crew. Captain N.

A Requiem Mass to be Held. St. Petersburg, April 13, 5.38 p.m.â€" After the receipt of definite news of Viceâ€"Admiral Makaroff‘s death, the military censor committee called an exâ€" traordinary session to pass upon the official despatches, which will probably be given out soon. A requiem mass for the repose of the souls of _ Admiral Makaroff and the other officers and the crew of the Petroplavlovsk had alâ€" ready been announced to take place in the Admiralty Church toâ€"morrow. The Petropavlovsk turned turtle in a manner similar to the British battleship Victoria, which was rammed by the Camperdown in 1893, and to the incident in the Chinoâ€"Japanese war, when a Chinâ€" ese warship turned turtle, many of the crew remaining alive for several days, hammering desperately on the upturned hull. When the news of Grand Duke Cyril‘s miraculous escape reached _ his parents here a Te Deum service was held at the Vladimir palace. The correspondâ€" ent of the Associated Press says the Grand Duke Boris was going to accomâ€" pany his brother to Mukden. According to the advices received there, Grand PDuke Cyril‘s injuries are slight, PRECEDED BY A FIGHT. Japanese Warships Had Cut Of the wruiser Bayan. Weiâ€"Haiâ€"Wei cable: Judging from Its Diminution Will Entail the Gravest l Consequences. | _A London cable says: In the abâ€" sence of any Japanese report and in view \ of the fact that the Russian despatches omit to mention anything about a fight, it cannot be determined what the exact | conditions of the engagements were. The { reports from Weiâ€"Hai‘Wei, which are the | only independent ones, are not precise enough to afford much more than a basis for speculation. The result of the action is sufficiently evident, however. The Rusâ€" sians were retreating under the shelter of their land forts when the Petropayâ€" lovsk was blown up. Discussion naturâ€" aly turns to the question of responsibilâ€" â€"ity for marking the mine, if, indeed, it the â€"report _ of tneâ€" British gunboat Espiegle and _ other â€" reports received hore the naval action off Port Arthur was sever while it lasted. So far as can be ascertained, the Russian cruiser Bayan was steaming toward Port Arâ€" thur from the direction of the Yalu River. The Japanese battleship Asahi and four cruisers tried to cut her off. The weather _ was somewhat _ hazy, which prevented certain knowledge â€" of what â€" happened, but it seemed as though the Bayan â€" was successfully evading â€" the â€" Japanese vessels. _ The eruiser _ Askold, whitch could be _ disâ€" tinguished by her five funnels, and a battleship, apparently of the Pobicda type, put out from Port Arthur to help the Bayan. _ The firing was contiuous and heavy. _ The outcome cannot be reported reliably, but the Bayan was seen later with a column of steam esâ€" caping from her, suggesting that she had _ been _ damaged. It is rumored but without any confirmation, that she and the two other vessels were cut off and were unable to return to Port Arâ€" thur. It is stated that the Japanese subsequently bombarded the fortress. + mlaeh ty Saliee te was laid by the Russians. Oflicials at the Russian Embassy in Paris told an enâ€" quirer that Admiral Makaroff recently caused the positions of all the mines to be carefuly surveyed, and with chrracâ€" teristic vigilance and thoroughness ne personally superintended. the work. . It has been generally accepted that the Japanese laid mines outside of. Port Arthur early in March, and it may have been one of these that caused the desâ€" truction of the Petropavlovsk. ___ _ _ SQUADRON NOW HELPLESS. ians.

Adâ€" miral Skrydlof is naturally suggestel unoflicialy as the successor of Admiral Makaroff, but Admiral Rozhdestvensky, who was selected to command the Baltic squadron, is also mentioned for the poâ€" sition. Forty Japanese Vessels Make a Demonâ€" stration. London cable: The Times prints a despatch, dated _ "Off Port Arthur," and sent by wireless telagraph to Weiâ€"Haiâ€"Wei, which savs that Japanese torpedo boats _ attacked Port Arthur early Wednesday morning, | The bomâ€" bardment began at 9.45 o‘clock in the morning. In another despatch the correspondâ€" ent says: "At 4.30 this morning in the dim light and amid ‘rain squalls, I saw a squadron of warships in line ahead steering a course similar to our own. As the light increased it proved to be a Japanese squadron of six batâ€" tleships followed by a firstâ€"class cruiser squadron. _ Six . ships were in â€"the line ahead, the third and fourth ves sels being the Kasuga and Nisshin, which were making their first appearâ€" ance in the fleet. The Mitska was leading. _ ‘They were shaping their course for Port Arthur. Forty miles distant from the port the battleships drew out at full speed, and the Kasuga and Nisshin left the cruisers and joined the battleships, the other cruisers remaining â€" behind. _ The | interval beâ€" tween them was maintained by the destroyer division and a despatch boat. As we neared Port Arthur we found two dirstâ€"class and â€" four secondâ€"class cruisers already there. _ This squadron had covered the torpedo boat attack,. which was made in the small hours of the morning. MEce o sns oo "The battleships now hoisted their fighting flags and stcamed in formaâ€" tion, the Mikasa leading and the new ships bringing up the rear to within six miles of Port Arthur‘s frowning promontory. "At 10.20 the shore batteries opened, but their fire was only desultory, and it seemed as though Admiral Togo was making a demonstration rather that a bombardment. _ Three times his fightâ€" ing squadron circled around in front of the enemy‘s . position, _ drawing . a desultory firé, and at noon Admiral Togo withdrew his battleships to the south. It was inspiring to see how the powerful squadron of fighting maâ€" chines manoeuvred. _ The â€" battleships went boldly in, while the less protected vessels manoeuvred â€" with them, perâ€" forming to their evolutions at a safor distance. Later, aithough I went closer to Port Arthur than I had ever been before, I saw no sign of any Russian shipping. _ The _ shells _ which fell nearest to us exploded on impset with the water. The â€" Japanese manoeuyrâ€" ing was at cighteen knots an hour. So far as I could see they suffered no damage. â€" The expenditure of ammuniâ€" tion was small. It was a magnificent foree, the most powerful individual fleet, indeed, which ever sailed _ the eastern â€" seas. _ Including the torpedo craft, there were forty Japanese vesâ€" sels." London cable: _ The Times, comâ€" menting on the loss of the Petropayâ€" lovsk, points out the discrepancies beâ€" twen the Russian official messages and those of its correspondent. Jt says there was no sally of the Russian fleet, and the correspondent did not see any Russian ship. Moreover, he was not aware of the sinking of the Petropavlovsk. The paper deduces that it must have occurred beâ€" fore 4.30, and says it is possibie i mine was a Japanese torpedo. It remarks that the Russians seem to use mine and torpedo as convertible terms. Continuâ€" ing, the Times says that it looks as if the Petropaviovsk was caught in the roadstead by the torpedo boats, and as if the other ships, deprived of their adâ€" miral, retired into the inner harbor beâ€" fore the Japanese fleet reached Port Arâ€" thur. This view seems to be confirmed by Admiral Gregoroviteh‘s _ despatch. which says: "The Japanese squadron is approaching." ‘The correspondent saw it apptoaching, but the torpedo boat atâ€" tack occurred hours earlier. Morcover, it is nardly conceivable that a single mire would send a battleship to the botâ€" tom with such fearful rapidity, though the simultancous explosion of _ several torpedoes would be {ar more destructâ€" ive.

The trades unions, to0, bad made it difficult to obtain a ul day‘s work out of the British workâ€" ingman. Thore was no question atout that, and this Inck of technical «kill and the influenrce of the usions, Mr. Walker considered a very serious as well as a permanent question that has got to be faced. Rogarding what is known as Chamâ€" berlainism ia the old country, Mr. MWalkor stated that thore was no natural rclation between the desire of Mfr. Chamberlain to bad the paris of tho empire together and the deâ€" clino in Bricish trade due to the causos he had mentioned, although Mr. Chamberdain‘s proposals offered to settle the trade question in Great Britain.

They had Leon too prosperous over there, and as a consequence had not kopt abrcast of the times. Still, however, there woere many Engiishmen who favored Mr. Chamborlain‘s proposals.
