Lehan of San Jose was unani- mously elected president. W. J. O'Brien of Sacramento was chosen vice president. The report of Secre- tary J. H. Farrell showed the member- ship of the order in this State to be 10,000. The delegates to the conven- tion and the delegates to the conven- tion of the Ladies* Auxiliary to the Ancient Order of Hibernians were given a banquet to-night by the Sac- ramento branch of the order.

A Japanese destroyer entered the harbor to-day, having on board the Japanese admiral Akadzuki and his staff, who called upon the Governor of Kiaochou. Gov- ernor Truppel assured the Japanese admiral that all the Russian ships were dismantled, that their guns had been disabled and their ammunition removed. The admiral then departed and as the Japanese destroyer left the harbor she was saluted by the Ger- man warships.

His heavy suit or hair, which was oil-soaked, was almost the first thing the flames fastened on, while the rope became a collar of fire around his neck. For only about three minutes was he visible to the crowd before the great pile of fagots made a wall of flame which the wind wrap- 'ped around his body, hiding it from view. Before the/ flames progressed very far his head' sank forward. Ap- parently the fire had reached his lungs and killed him. As soon as it was seen the men were dead the crowd commenced dispersing. A large number remained behind, how- ever, piling more fuel on until both bodies were burned to a cinder. DEPUTIES AID. THE MOB. The spectacle was frishtful. As the flames touched Reed's naked oil-soaked skin, he twisted hi9 head around in an endeavor to choke himself and avoid thf fearful torture. Only once did he complain. .*He said: "Lord, have mercy." The crowd moved across a field to a strip of woodland. One man made a speech recounting the horrors of the crime. This innamed the mob to a frenzy. To a larse stump twelve feet high the men were chained. Then a wagon load of pine wood was hauled to the spot. It was piled around the men and ten gallons of kerosene was thrown over them. A photographer was present and the crowd was cleared back that he might get several views of the men bound to the stake and ready for the burning. Just as the match was applied to the pyre one of those in front asked Reed if he wanted to tell the truth before he died. "Yes, sir. I killed Mr. and Mrs. Hodges," he replied.

CHEFU, Aug. 16.— A striking inci- dent of the naval engagement of Au- gust 10 was the surrounding of the bat- tleship Retvizan by Japanese torpedo boats, the other Russian vessels having gone to the assistance of the Cesare- vitch, which was then hard pressed. The Retvizan desperately attempted to break through the line and tried to ram a cruiser, which approached, but she was fairly blown out of her course by a hail of shells from the cruisers, which just then began participating in the fight. Every officer of the Cesarevitch was either killed or wounded. While the Cesarevitch was making for Tsingchou, funeral services were held in many cases over heads, arms and legs. //:.:•>' American Built Warship Battles Against Heavy Odds.

The reported violation by Japan of the neutrality of China in the capture ofr the Rus- sian torpedo-boat destroyer Ryeshitel- ni at Chefu has resulted in alienating to a great extent the sympathy of Chi- nese officials for Japan. This applies even to officials connected with the pro-Japanese party. Belated reports from various vessels continue to reach Admiral Togo. The Japanese destroyers and torpedo boats made a series of attacks during the pursuit of the Russian warships. One destroyer reports that she hit a vessel of the Pallada type and it is believed the vessel foundered and that the en- tire erf w were either killed or drowned. Admiral Togo, in reporting to the ad- miralty, says It appears certain that the Pallada was sunk. It was believed at first that the Pallada escaped south- ward with the Novik and Askold, the admiralty believing she was concealed in«thje yiclnitv of the Yangtse river. .Whatever her fate, it soon will be determined. If she is afloat she will speedily be' reported and if destroyed it Is probable that some of her wreck- age will be found. TOKIO, Aug. 16.—It seems certain that the Russian protected cruiser Pal- lada was torpedoed and sunk during the naval battle of August 10. She fail- ed to return to Port Arthur and has not been reported since Admiral Togo's fleet departed on various missions on the night of August 10, when the Rus- sians retreated.

AGED PIONEER TEACHER DIES AT BERKELEY LONDON, Aug. 16. What. Is con- sidered in Government circles here to be not the least important feature of the British note delivered to Russia to-day is that dealing with the ques- tion of contraband. Great Britain re- iterates the suggestion that the regu- lations issued by the Emperor defin- ing the rights of Russian warships to- ward neutral vessels carrying alleged contraband should be modified and particularly urges a revision of the list of articles declared contraband. Be- cause of her dependence on foreign countries for food Great Britain made an especially strong objection to the inclusion of rice and foodstuffs gen- erally. During the exchanges of communi- cations it has been the contention of Russia that in her regulations such foodstuffs only become contraband if "intended for war purposes or if sent at an enemy's cost or order." Rus- sia further points out that this is along lines laid .down by the United States in the case of the steamship Mashona, at the time of the Boer war. The officials of the Foreign Office are reticent as to the length to which the Government has gone In respect to the status of foodstuffs in time of war, but it is said in a reliable quar- ter that the British note advances be- yond the position laid down in the Mashona case and that all foodstuffs are now practically declared, in the British view, to be not liable to seiz- ure. If this statement proves correct Continental diplomats say the declara- tion willmeet with a cold reception on the Continent. Great Britain Takes Extreme View as to Contraband of War.

Aug. 16.— Engineer Louis Graham, who was iniured by falling from an engine near Summit Sunday night, died at the Railroad Hospital to-day. Graham intended that when he had brought the over- land limited over the mountains Sun- day night he should retire permanently from the railroad service. He had arranged to take his family on an Eastern trip and they had pro- cured the tickets and were preparing to begin their journey. An engineer was required to take the overlar.d limited out of Sacramento on Sunday, and Graham, one of the best men on the road, offered to do it. As his train neared Summit he went out on the running board to examine eome of the mechanism, when he acci- dentally fell, striking on his head. Death resulted from this injury. Gra- ham was a prominent member of Sac- ramento Commandery Knights Tem- plar and of Union Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. Besides his wife, he leaves a son, Lloyd Graham. He was 41 years of age. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 16.—Reports from the Governors of Radom and Fyedlet*. Russian Poland, which have Wen received by the police department of the Ministry of the Interior state that the reports of Jewish massacres in the small Polish towns of Parchevo and Ostrovetz arose from affrays between the Jewish and ChVistian inhabitants, In which the Jews in both cases were the aggressors. Only one Jew suc- cumbed to his injuries. The disturbance at Parchevo took li!ace on July 23 and was the result of an attempt by the Jews to kidnap a converted Jewess, Antoniona Koorn, 18 years old. About three months ago . the girl evinced a desire to become a Catholic, and left her l^arents, going to Lublin, ¦\\ here she remained for several weeks In an industrial home receiving religious instruction. Her parents in the mean- time endeavored to persuade her to re- turn to them, and not being successful resorted to the stratagem of accusing the girl of the theft of 90 rubles ($45) in cider that the authorities would be compelled to send her back for trial. During the trial a crowd of Jews numbering several thousand rushed into the courtroom and. despite the ef- forts < of the officers to protect her, prized the girl and carried her off. They also wrecked the building where the trial was held. The grirl was locked up in a brewery, from which she was. sub- sequently liberated l>y a crowd of Christians and sent back to Lublin. The girl declares that she saw a close- ly fhuttered room in the brewery, where n!<i men had assembled in rabbis' dress ready to try her, and she begged her .captors not to torture, but to kill her. The wounded in the disturbance In- cluded twenty-nine Jews, but the mu- nicipal surgeon declares that none were <3angerou?ly wounded. The Christians did n«t report their Injuries, fearing prosecution. The public prosecutor summoned ten Jews, of whom two escaped. The incidents at Ostrovetz date back to July 21 and 22. A Jewish boy threw a stone at a Polish beggar, striking Jiim on the head. The beggar's broth- er, a factory hand, fell upon a few Jow5 in order to avenge his brother's injuries. The Jews were reinforced, end then other factory hands joined in the fight, which soon was stopped by she police. The next day COO factory hands en- tered the town, stoning the houses of the Jews and attacking the Jews in the Ftrffts, wounding three, one of whom died. YAQUI INDIANS ALMOST KILL TWO ITALIANS One Redskin Uses a- Club and Another Attacks Victim With a . Machete. SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 16.—Two Yaqui Indians tried to kill two Ital- ians in the Yucaipo "Valley and nearly succeeded in dispatching one of their victims. One of the injured men and one of the Indians who were working together got drunk. In the quarrel that ensued the Indian broke his an- tagonist's jaw and felled him to the ground with a stick of wood four feet long and three inches in diameter, in- flicting a probably fatal wound. The fight was seen by a one-armed Italian, who ran off to secure assist- ance for his countryman. Another Indian met him at the brow of the hill and sailed into the one-armed man with a machete. The Italian fought off the Indian with a rock to the best of his ability, but he was be- ing horribly gashed when a rancher named Peters happened over. the hill In time to prevent a second murder. The first Italian was taken to the county hospital, where he is still un- conscious, while the other had his wounds dressed by a nearby physi- cian. The Indian who did the club- bing was arrested by Sheriff Ralphs and taken to the county jail, but the other escaped. FARMER HURT. IN RUNAWAY.-HAT- WARDS. Aug. 16.—H.

They attempted to interfere, but he turned his rifle on them and would have shot them down had not his aim been bad. They watched him at a safe distance and after shooting all four mules he was seen to abandon his wagons and merchandise and dis- appear in the hills. They followed him for several miles in the hope that he might fall exhausted. Prospectors report that the wild man of Arispe carries a rifle and flees at the sight of a stranger.

FIRE OX SACRAMENTO'S RIVER FRONT DISASTROUS Steamboat Is Destroyed* and Big Freight Sheds of Railroad Have Close Call. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 16.— A firebroke out In the boiler-room of the freighting steamer D. E. Knight No. 2 late this afternoon, and in half an hour the boat was burned to the water's edge and sank, while a block of fruit and produce sheds alongside was consumed. While the fruit sheds were burning the yard engines rushed frantically to and fro In an effort to get a number of freight cars out of the path of the flames. Chief Guthrie loudly protested against the engines running over and-'cuttlng his lines of hose in two. but he was satisfied 'when It was later on explain- ed that the cars were loaded with enough giant powder and dynamite to have blown up half of the city. Three or four empty freight cars were burned to the wheels, while the barge Acme, laden with lumber, became a mass of fire. The firemen saved it. however, from complete destruction. Chief Guth- rie said to-night that the loss would probably total $100,000.

CANADA MAKES COMPLAINT ABOUT INSULT TO FLAG* OTTAWA, Ontario. Aug. 16.—The Canadian Government has lodged & formal complaint with the British au- thorities regarding the Indignity of- fered to the flag of the Dominion by a British consular officer in a South American port a.few_weeks-agd.. .The flag was torn' and trampled on and the Consul said he knew nothing of a Canadian flag. Deserters from the Hereros reported that the arrival of German reinforce- ments at Swakopmund caused great de- pression in the native camp. Chief Sam- uel spent much time in having the Bible read to him. General von Trotha doubtless will fol- low up his success and finish the re- bellion with the Waterberg campaign. It seems improbable that many of the natives can have escaped through the German forces holding the moun- tain pawes. In a skirmish preceding the battle a patrol commanded by Lieutenant Baron von Bodenhausen was surprised and tho lieutenant and eight men were killed. :.. . Five German officers, including Count von Arnim. and nineteen men were killed. Six officers, among them Baron von "Watter, and fifty-two men were wounded. Two are missing. The natives, who numbered about 6000 fighting men. under old Chief Sam- uel Maherero, to whom the younger leaders had turned after their former reverses, were concentrated in the Waterberg Mountains. With their women, children and flocks, they occu- pied a plain or meadowland roughly estimated at 650.000 acres, on which they had 5000 head of cattle and 50,000 sheep, goats, etc. The approaches to the plain were difficult passes, so that the Germans had severe work forcing them. The number of the Germans is not accurately known, but as nine com- panies and four and a half batteries, with some irregular troops, were en- gaged, the total probably was about 2000 men. BERLIN, Aug. 16.—Four columns of German troops attacked the Hereros near Hamakari, German Southwest Af- rica, on the night of August 11. The fighting continued all day August 12. The natives were defeated with heavy losses. The correspondent says that the statement that 87 of the crew were killed is incorrect. The Peking correspondent of the Times, in a dispatch, dated August 15. says the note of the Russian Govern- ment demands that China shall re- gain possession of the torpedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni and degrade Ad- miral Sah, commanding at Chefu. The correspondent says that no com- munication-has yet been received by the Chinese Foreign Office, either from France or Germany, in connection with the Ryeshitelni affair. LONDON, Aug. 16.— The Tokio cor- respondent of the Times, referring to the statement from Nomuro, Japan, that Russian soldiers at Kamchatka massacred 87 of the crew of the Japa- nese schooner Teichi, says that the to procure water and that the Japa- to procure water an dthat the Japa- nese were attacked by Russian sol- diers, who killed seven of the crew and wounded five.

FIGHT LASTS ALL DAY Captain Retzenstein, commander of the cruiser division of the Port Arthur squadron, reports to the naval general staff that the cruiser Askold, owing to the damage which she sustained in the naval battle off Port Arthur, was obliged to enter the port of Shanghai on August 13, and that her losses were one officer killed and three wounded and ten sailors killed and forty-four wounded. The mining fleet still in the harbor is capable of effective work in hinder- ing the operations of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet. There is no sickness in the fortress, and the losses in the successive fights are by no means as heavy as repre- sented in the Japanese reports. supplied with ammunition and provi- sions. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17. Pub- lic anxiety, regarding the fate of the ships of Rear Admiral Withoeffs squadron remaining unaccounted for is still unrelieved. St. Petersburg con- tinues to be entirely .dependent- upon foreign sources for. news, the Russian authorities "claiming to be quite as much in the dark aa the public. The Admiralty neither confirms nor de- nies the report that a majority of the squadron returned to Port Arthur, al- though it does not fail to point out that only the most desperate situation after the. sea fight could have com- pelled the vessels to return for refuge to that- port. Nothing has been received from Russian sources regarding the report from Chefu of a sortie of the Port Arthur warships to-day. The report may refer to the cruiser Bayan and the. pun boats and torpedo-boat de- stroyers left in the harbor and one or two of Admiral Withoeffs ships which vere forced to limp back to the port after the fight of August 10. The report of the sinking of the cruiser Rurik is accepted as true in official circles and the public had been prepared for a definite announcement by the publication this afternoon of a report thai she had been grievously df.maged. The authorities, out of con- sideration for the families of the of- ficers and sailors, decided to withhold an official announcement until they have received an official report upon the return of the cruisers Rossia and and Gromoboi to Vladivostok. The opinion is growing that the heavy losses sustained by the Port Arthur fleet may completely alter the plans regarding the Baltic squadron; a division of which is cruising in the gulf ready to sail. man cruiser remains on guard outside the harbor. The others are inside. The Japanese, the advices say, are no longer trying to place their guns on the higher positions, which are too eas- ily reached by the lire of the fortress, but are busying themselves with min- ing operations against the defenses. The spirit of the garrison continues to be excellent, and Lieutenant General Stoessel is going everywhere encour- aging the troops. The fortress is well ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17. 6 a. m.— A dispatch received from Chefu last night, dated August 16 and giving un- dated advices from Port Arthur, say that the Japanese during a bombard- ment occupied strongly fortified posi- tions with a number of siege guns.

Old people soem to expect this. I don't believe the Almighty intended that the old should be sick. I was sick with rheumatism, pain in back, hips and legs, stiff knees and ankl* joints I could not eat. I was weak. My bladder was Irri- table. I had to get up often at night I thought these troubles were the penalty of getting old. because I had taken much medical treatment without benefit. I be- came so miserable, however, that I de- cided as a last resort to try the Electro- Chemlc treatment so. on Feb. 21. 1903. I went to the Electro-Chemlc Institute. US Grant avenue, San Francisco, for consultation and examination. Everything was so satisfactory, no charge for examination, a free loan of the wonderful Electro-Chemic apparatus for home treatment, a small charge for treatment, and in three months* time I was perfectly cured, and I did not havo to remain in the city at all. as my treat- ment was all done by the home method. I am glad I went for the first examina- tion, for that was Just the thing and It showed at once what was the matter with me. and after that my cure was comparatively easy. I can truthfully say that I feel twenty years younger since taking the Electro-Chemlc course. My pains are all gone. I can eat like a horse and digest everything I eat. and I feel pretty strong for a man that is get- ting way long in years. My name is R. B. Cutting and T llv<* at Santa Cruz. Cal. I am an old pioneer and I want to recommend the Electro- Chemic treatment to all sufferers and especially to the old folks who are mis- erable and sick. Medicines do no good in such cases, whilst Electro-Chemistry surely puts new blood and new life into both men and women who are wearing i out just because they are old. t Electro-Chemlstry cures consumption catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, deafness ringing ears, discharging ears, head noises, rheumatism, locomotor ataxia paralysis, cancers, tumors, old sores, ec- zema, blood poison, all specific blood" and skin diseases, special diseases of women i painful periods, weak backs, dizziness' I fainting spells, ovarian pains, ulcers, etc. i In special diseases of men. electricity cures cases that are absolutely incurable under any other method of treatment It cures these serious cases simply because It attacks the trouble at its foundation Irritated and weakened nerves are brought back to a normal condition- ths blood is circulated to the congested or- gans and their normal actions and strength are quickly brought back.

Cato screamed in agony and beggedthat he be shot. His heavy suit orhair, which was oil-soaked, was almostthe first thing the flames fastened on,while the rope became a collar of firearound his neck. For only about threeminutes was he visible to the crowdbefore the great pile of fagots madea wall of flame which the wind wrap-'ped around his body, hiding it fromview. Before the/ flames progressedvery far his head' sank forward. Ap-parently the fire had reached his lungsand killed him.

Japan Losing China's Friendship.TIENTSIN, Aug. 16.

—The reported

violation by Japan of the neutralityof China in the capture ofr the Rus-sian torpedo-boat destroyer Ryeshitel-ni at Chefu has resulted in alienatingto a great extent the sympathy of Chi-nese officials for Japan. This applieseven to officials connected with thepro-Japanese party.

Belated reports from various vesselscontinue to reach Admiral Togo. TheJapanese destroyers and torpedo boatsmade a series of attacks during thepursuit of the Russian warships. Onedestroyer reports that she hit a vesselof the Pallada type and it is believedthe vessel foundered and that the en-tire erfw were either killed or drowned.

Admiral Togo, in reporting to the ad-miralty, says It appears certain thatthe Pallada was sunk. Itwas believedat first that the Pallada escaped south-ward with the Novik and Askold, theadmiralty believing she was concealedin«thje yiclnitv of the Yangtse river.

.Whatever her fate, it soon will bedetermined. If she is afloat she willspeedily be' reported and if destroyedit Is probable that some of her wreck-age will be found.

TOKIO, Aug. 16.—It seems certainthat the Russian protected cruiser Pal-lada was torpedoed and sunk during

the naval battle of August 10. She fail-ed to return to Port Arthur and hasnot been reported since Admiral Togo's

AT BERKELEY

LONDON, Aug. 16.—

What. Is con-sidered in Government circles here tobe not the least important feature ofthe British note delivered to Russiato-day is that dealing with the ques-tion of contraband. Great Britain re-iterates the suggestion that the regu-lations issued by the Emperor defin-ing the rights of Russian warships to-ward neutral vessels carrying allegedcontraband should be modified andparticularly urges a revision of the listof articles declared contraband. Be-cause of her dependence on foreigncountries for food Great Britain madean especially strong objection to theinclusion of rice and foodstuffs gen-erally.

During the exchanges of communi-cations it has been the contention ofRussia that in her regulations suchfoodstuffs only become contraband if"intended for war purposes or if sentat an enemy's cost or order." Rus-sia further points out that this isalong lines laid .down by the UnitedStates in the case of the steamshipMashona, at the time of the Boer war.

The officials of the Foreign Officeare reticent as to the length to whichthe Government has gone In respectto the status of foodstuffs in time ofwar, but it is said in a reliable quar-ter that the British note advances be-yond the position laid down in theMashona case and that all foodstuffsare now practically declared, in theBritish view, to be not liable to seiz-ure. If this statement proves correctContinental diplomats say the declara-tion willmeet with a cold reception onthe Continent.

from the Governors of Radom andFyedlet*. Russian Poland, which haveWen received by the police departmentof the Ministry of the Interior statethat the reports of Jewish massacres in

the small Polish towns of Parchevo andOstrovetz arose from affrays betweenthe Jewish and ChVistian inhabitants,

In which the Jews in both cases werethe aggressors. Only one Jew suc-cumbed to his injuries.

and left her l^arents, going to Lublin,¦\\here she remained for several weeksInan industrial home receiving religiousinstruction. Her parents in the mean-time endeavored to persuade her to re-turn to them, and not being successfulresorted to the stratagem of accusing

the girl of the theft of 90 rubles ($45) incider that the authorities would becompelled to send her back for trial.

During the trial a crowd of Jewsnumbering several thousand rushedinto the courtroom and. despite the ef-forts < of the officers to protect her,prized the girland carried her off. They

also wrecked the building where thetrial was held. The grirl was locked upin a brewery, from which she was. sub-sequently liberated l>y a crowd ofChristians and sent back to Lublin.

The girldeclares that she saw a close-lyfhuttered room in the brewery, wheren!<i men had assembled in rabbis' dressready to try her, and she begged her

.captors not to torture, but to kill her.The wounded in the disturbance In-

cluded twenty-nine Jews, but the mu-nicipal surgeon declares that none were<3angerou?ly wounded. The Christiansdid n«t report their Injuries, fearingprosecution.

The public prosecutor summoned tenJews, of whom two escaped.

The incidents at Ostrovetz date backto July 21 and 22. A Jewish boy threwa stone at a Polish beggar, strikingJiim on the head. The beggar's broth-er, a factory hand, fell upon a fewJow5 in order to avenge his brother'sinjuries. The Jews were reinforced,

end then other factory hands joined inthe fight, which soon was stopped byshe police.

The next day COO factory hands en-tered the town, stoning the houses ofthe Jews and attacking the Jews in theFtrffts, wounding three, one of whomdied.

CANADA MAKES COMPLAINTABOUT INSULT TO FLAG*

OTTAWA, Ontario. Aug. 16.—TheCanadian Government has lodged &formal complaint with the British au-thorities regarding the Indignity of-fered to the flag of the Dominion bya British consular officer in a SouthAmerican port a.few_weeks-agd.. .Theflag was torn' and trampled on andthe Consul said he knew nothing of aCanadian flag.

Deserters from the Hereros reportedthat the arrival of German reinforce-ments at Swakopmund caused great de-pression in the native camp. Chief Sam-uel spent much time in having theBible read to him.

General von Trotha doubtless willfol-low up his success and finish the re-bellion with the Waterberg campaign.It seems improbable that many of

the natives can have escaped throughthe German forces holding the moun-tain pawes.

In a skirmish preceding the battle apatrol commanded by Lieutenant Baronvon Bodenhausen was surprised andtho lieutenant and eight men werekilled. :.. .

Five German officers, including Countvon Arnim. and nineteen men werekilled. Six officers, among them Baronvon "Watter, and fifty-two men werewounded. Two are missing.

The natives, who numbered about6000 fighting men. under old Chief Sam-uel Maherero, to whom the youngerleaders had turned after their formerreverses, were concentrated in theWaterberg Mountains. With theirwomen, children and flocks, they occu-pied a plain or meadowland roughlyestimated at 650.000 acres, on whichthey had 5000 head of cattle and 50,000sheep, goats, etc. The approaches tothe plain were difficult passes, so thatthe Germans had severe work forcingthem. The number of the Germans isnot accurately known, but as nine com-panies and four and a half batteries,

with some irregular troops, were en-gaged, the total probably was about2000 men.

BERLIN, Aug. 16.—Four columns ofGerman troops attacked the Hererosnear Hamakari, German Southwest Af-rica, on the night of August 11. Thefighting continued all day August 12.The natives were defeated with heavylosses.

The correspondent says that thestatement that 87 of the crew werekilled is incorrect.

The Peking correspondent of theTimes, in a dispatch, dated August 15.says the note of the Russian Govern-ment demands that China shall re-gain possession of the torpedo boatdestroyer Ryeshitelni and degrade Ad-miral Sah, commanding at Chefu.

The correspondent says that no com-munication-has yet been received bythe Chinese Foreign Office, either fromFrance or Germany, in connection withthe Ryeshitelni affair.

Captain Retzenstein, commander ofthe cruiser division of the Port Arthursquadron, reports to the naval generalstaff that the cruiser Askold, owing tothe damage which she sustained in thenaval battle off Port Arthur, wasobliged to enter the port of Shanghaion August 13, and that her losses wereone officer killed and three woundedand ten sailors killed and forty-fourwounded.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17.—

Pub-lic anxiety, regarding the fate of theships of Rear Admiral Withoeffssquadron remaining unaccounted foris still unrelieved. St. Petersburg con-tinues to be entirely .dependent- uponforeign sources for. news, the Russianauthorities "claiming to be quite asmuch in the dark aa the public. TheAdmiralty neither confirms nor de-nies the report that a majority of thesquadron returned to Port Arthur, al-though it does not fail to point outthat only the most desperate situationafter the. sea fight could have com-pelled the vessels to return for refugeto that-port.

Nothing has been received fromRussian sources regarding the reportfrom Chefu of a sortie of the PortArthur warships to-day. The reportmay refer to the cruiser Bayan andthe. pun boats and torpedo-boat de-stroyers left in the harbor and one ortwo of Admiral Withoeffs ships whichvere forced to limp back to the portafter the fight of August 10.

The report of the sinking of thecruiser Rurik is accepted as true inofficial circles and the public had beenprepared for a definite announcementby the publication this afternoon of areport thai she had been grievouslydf.maged. The authorities, out of con-sideration for the families of the of-ficers and sailors, decided to withholdan official announcement until theyhave received an official report uponthe return of the cruisers Rossia andand Gromoboi to Vladivostok.

The opinion is growing that theheavy losses sustained by the PortArthur fleet may completely alter theplans regarding the Baltic squadron;a division of which is cruising in thegulf ready to sail.

The Japanese, the advices say, areno longer trying to place their guns onthe higher positions, which are too eas-ily reached by the lire of the fortress,

but are busying themselves with min-ing operations against the defenses.

The spirit of the garrison continuesto be excellent, and Lieutenant GeneralStoessel is going everywhere encour-aging the troops. The fortress is well

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17. 6 a. m.—A dispatch received from Chefu lastnight, dated August 16 and giving un-dated advices from Port Arthur, saythat the Japanese during a bombard-ment occupied strongly fortified posi-tions with a number of siege guns.After two hours several of the Japa-nese guns were silenced.
