Soon, however, the Japanese reapp-arrt with a formidable forte of about a score of warships. The Russian squadron rc-tuml to the roadstead and took up a position In line of battle ready to receive the enemy. The eudden explosion which destroyed the I'etropavlov5k occurred almost immediately thereafter and the battleship went to the bottom. The Grand Duke Cyril. Captain Jakoleff.the commander of the Petropivlovsk. four officers and some fifty men were saved. The battleship Pobieda was damaged amll?hlps and went into the inner harbor, where she anchored. An eye-witness of the fiRht says: "The division of Itus?ian torpedo boats which put to fea Tuesday nipht kept up a running fight with the enemy nntll early Wednesday morninar. when the cruiser Bayan steamed out to aid the torpedo boat destroyer IJezstrashni. which was crippled and unable to shake off the Japanese attack. The Uayan drove the enemy off, but the Hezstrashni sank at 7 a. m. The Japanese torpedo boats withdrew, but almost immediately six Japanese warships appeared on the horizon. Admiral Makaroff ordered the squadron out to meet them, and the Japanese retired, but almost immediately reappeared, reinforced until the fleet consisted of sixteen or seventeen warships. Thf Russians put back to thy roadstead and formed a battle line, when at precisely 10 o'clock, without warning, the Petropavlovsk blew up and sunk. The Pobieda received a breach amidships and retired to the inner harbor, whre an examination proved that her injuries were not very se rious. Besides Grand Duke Cyril, Captain Jakovleff and lieutenant Yakovsky. Midshipmen Sylitte. Jenlch and Yakomleff were rescued. Reports as to the number of seamen saved are conflicting, one placing the number at thirty-two and another at tifty-one. They were rescued by the torpedo gunboat Gaydtmak." The enemy's vessels, which were formed In two divisions, disappeared In the course of the aft?rnoon. The freh breeze which was blowing throughout Wednesday developed into a violent gaie toward night. RUSSIANS SAY THERE WAS NO GREAT FICHT ST. PETERSBURG. April 13. Out of the mase of conflicting reports regurding the sequence of events leading up to the destruction of the Petropavlovsk it is now established that Vice Admiral Makaroff, early Wednesday morning, took out his squadron to engage a weak division of six Japanese cruisers which appeared on the horizon after the Japanese torpedo boats. which sank the DezstrashnI, had been driven off by the Bayan. The Russian commander-in-chief pursued the Japanese cruiser division until It was reinforced by eleven battleships, when he retired into the outer roadstead, where he was drawing up in line of battle when the disaster to the Petropavlovsk occurred. The Admiralty authorizes the Associated Press to deny Vice Admiral's Togo's claim that the Japanese sank the Petropavlovsk in a tight off Port Arthur. The officials declare positively that there was no naval engagement, excepting the torpedo boat destroyer right, either preceding or following th3 loss of the flagship. A high official of the Admiralty said: "It is e'ieat a powder magazine exploded, because a Jet of flame went up with the steam from the bursting boilers. The magazine could not have exploded spontaneously. The temperature of a magazine la too closely watched and the powder is stored. so as to render an explosion scarcely possible. Doubtless a mine caused the letonation of the powder and torpedo magazines. Perhaps the truth will never be known, and the disaster will take a place with the countless other mysteries of the sea." Although the papers this morning were allowed to print reports from nbroad of a Japanese bombardment of Port Arthur, ofacial knowledge of such a bombardment. If it occurred, is not admitted. The injuries to the Pobieda are declared to be slight. The explosion which injured her took place Just at the water line. The opinion expressed at the Admiralty here Is that It was produced by a spent Whitehead torpedo, which was floating on the surface of the water and which may have been fired during the torpedo boat fight. A story Is current that Admiral MakarofTs squadron was actually in the inner harbor when the flagship, in maneuvering, struck a mine attached to a cable chain strung across the entrance of the Gullet, but this is ridiculed. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that, twenty-eight officers were lost on board the Petropavlovsk, Including Captain Vasilieff, belonging to the ship. Admiral Makaroff, fourteen members of his staff, including Rear Admiral Molas. the chief of staff, and Lieutenant Von Kobe, th aid-de-camp of Grand Duke Cyril. Tlie naval staff has no Information confirming last night's rumor that the Japanese have succeeded in blocking the entrance of the harbor of Port Arthur. VERESTCHA GIN WENT DOWN WITH MAKAROFF ST. PETERSBURG, April 15. The Admiralty has received official information that Verestchagin, the celebrated painter of battle scenes, was among those lost by the sinking of the Petropavlovsk. The fate of Nicholas T. Kravtchenko, the well-known Russian literary man who was acting as correspondent of the Associated Press at Port Arthur, Is still unknown. It is possible that he left Port Arthur prior to tho disaster of Wednesday. The wife of Captain Jakovleff, the commander, of the Russian battleship PetroJavlovsk. has received a telegTam from tear Admiral Grigorovitch, the commandant at Port Arthur, saying that her husband is wounded in the head, and that several of his ribs were broken. lie was unconscious until yesterday, but is improving. Lieutenant Jenish, who Is one of the) crncers or tne petropavlovsk who was saved, lost his father when the warship Roosalka sank In the Baltic eleven years Viceroy Alexieff. who was at Mukden when the disaster occurred, proceeded promptly to port Arthur to personally assume temporary command of the naval forces there, and reached his destination last night. His presence is expected to put an eni to the demoralization there. General Kuropatkln Is concentrating his second line of defense between Mukden and Liao-Yang. He will have 120,XX men there. A requiem service was held to-day on board the ice breaker Ermak for the repose of the souls of Vice Admiral MrkarofC and Captain Va5ilief, formerly commander of the Krmak, who also perished in the disaster to the Petropavlovsk. Several hun dred persons were present. An imperial ukase issued here directs that the KOO.ou) obtained by the reduction in the estimates for the expenditure of the impe rial household shall be added to the "free resources" of the state treasury. These re sources are now being utilized for war pur poses. TU Inka Her Ilnnhand la Alive. OT. PETERSBURG, April 16.-The No Tosti has received a telegram from Mrs. Verestchagin, wife of the painter, i.i Moscow, stating that her husband is in Man churia with the staff of the commander-in-Chief, but the paper, in printing the tel gram, adds: "Unfortunately this cannot be confirmed. J TEN RUSSIAN SHIPS , . PUT OUT OF ACTION ST. PETERSBURG, April 13. There are now only two undamaged battleships the Persvlet and the Sevastopol in the harbor at Port Arthur, but some of the damaged vessels have been repaired, although their exact number and condition are not known. The other effectives are the ar snored cruiser Bayan. tho first-class cruisers Askoid and Diana, the second-class -rulser Novik, the torpedo gunboats sad

nik and Gavdamak, the gunboats Gremiaschi, Otvashlni, Giliak and Bobr, the cruisers DJidjid. Paziwynik and Zabiaka, and the torpedo boat destroyers, whose exact number is not known. Altogether ten Russian vessels have been damaged or lost since the outbreak of the war. The disaster of Wednesday ends the hope that the ill-fated Port Arthur squadron would be able to become an aggressive factor in the operations before it is reinforced by the arrival of the Baltic fleet. Until then the aim of the Russians will bo to hold Port Arthur and conserve the remaining ships within the protection of its guns. Temporarily the least faith in successes at sea died with Admiral Makaroff, and the Russian "people now look to the army, in which they have implicit confidence, to retrieve on land the reverses and distress suffered on the water. VLADIMIR THINKS JAPAN HAS SUBMARINES PARIS, April 16. The Matin St. Peters burg correspondent sends an Interview with the Grand Duke Vladimir in which, after giving details of a telegram from Grand Duke Boris relating to the escape of Grand Duke Cyril, Vladimir said: "Here we be lieve that the catastrophe to the Petropav lovsk was causrd by a Japanese submarine vessel. It must have been a submarine that discharged a torpedo, which, striking the battleship near the engine room, casued an explosinon of the boilers. We knew that the Japanese had two submarine vessels but we could not Imagine that they would be brave enough to fend such light boats so far from the fleet or that they should even risk them at the entrance of Port Arthur harbor. The sub marine which affected the destruction of the battleship must certainly have unk." Asked whether any other theory was plausible, the Grand Duke replied: "The coincidence that the Petropavlovsk and the Pobieda were struck similarly seems to confirm the submarine theory, but it is not impossible that mines laid down by the Russians, or by the Japanese during their last attack, drifted to the entrance of the port owing to the strong currents." In conclusion the grand duke said: "Grand Duke Cyril himself sent the grand duchess a reassuring telegram this mornIns." - i NO TRAIN TO YIN-KOW; BRIDGE DESTROYED NEW YORK, April 13. The train from Port Arthur did not arrive here yesterday, says a Herald dispatch from lin-Kow under date of Thursday. The stoppage of transportation is due to tho destruction of a bridge. Yin-Kow is the Dort of NieuChwang, ana the severance of the Port Arthur railway woutd be significant. As the Manchurian railway enters the LiaoTung peninsula there is an Important bridge over the Liao river. There are numerous other bridges and culverts along the line running down to Dalny and Port Arthur. In some places the line runs close to the shore, where the Japanese might easily have landed parties or injure tne lino witn long-distance firing. MAIN FORCE OF THE JAPANESE IS AT WIJU SIIANGHIA, April 15. Advices from Seoul. Korea, state that the main force of' the Japanese has arrived at Wiju. It is also stated that In tho future the Japanese troops will bo lauded at Chulsan, near the mouth of the Yalu river. It Is further reported that a Japanese transport has carried home seventy soldiers who were wounded in the fighting on the march to Wlju. RUSSIANS INTRENCHED ON THE YALU RIVER ST. PETERSBURG, April 13. A dispatch from Liao-Yang says that the Russian intrenchments on the Yalu river have been completed. The center of the line of fortified positions is Antung. The right flank rests on Tatungkau and the left flank on Kiulien, on the west bank of the Yalu. RUSSIAN VESSELS WERE TORPEDOED KOBE, Japan, April 15. It is asserted in naval circles here that the Japanese arranged to lay thirty mines at the entrance of Port Arthur and then entice the Russians out. The mine3 were placed in position and Port Arthur was bombarded April 13. Several Russian ships besides the Petropavlovsk were damaged. WILD TALK ABOUT WAR BIIHflHT GRIT! Russians Think "Perfidious Albion" Loaned a Submarine Boat to Japan. PESSIMISM IN CZARDOM ST. PETERSBURG, April 13. As a result of the depressing Influence produced by the loss of the Petropavlovsk gome pessimism Is manifest and in consequence all kinds of wild talk are heard. This is not strange, considering the fatalism inherent in the Russian character. As an example the spectre of foreign complications hs appeared. It is said the Petropavlovsk was blown up by a submarine boat furnished to Japan by Great Britain, which, of course, would mean war with Great Britain. In furtherance of this Idea it is pointed out that the British Parliament has granted permission for Indian troops to cross the frontier of Thibet, which naturally means only that Great Britain is preparing to aid her ally by advancing upon Central Asia. But such talk finds no echo In responsible quarters, where, indeed, it is remarkable how calm and confident the officials are that a change of fortune will take plaee as soon as the land operations begin in earnest. Prevailing belief here is that the Japaneso will take advantage of the situation to push matters and make a renewed attack on Port Arthur with the object of pealing the entrance to the port, or considering the llusftan tleet to be practically Immobilized by Its inferiority, proceed with landing: troops at the head of the gulf of Liao-Tung. It would not be surprising if the Japanese attempted to invest the fortunes of Port Arthur by land.

BE SH0TJ1 RUSSIANS Those Who Use Wireless Telegraphy Will Be Treated as Spies if Captured. AIMED AT ENGLISHMEN WASHINGTON. April 15. The Russian government has given notice that newspaper correspondents using wireless telegraphy will be treated as spies and shot. This notice was served on the State Department by Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador to-day, and it is understood that similar communications were made to all foreign offices. The text of the communication is as follows: "I am charged by my government, in order to avoid all possible misunderstanding, to communicate to your Excellency that the lieutenant of his imperial Majesty in the far East has just made the following declaration: " 'In a case in which neutral steamers having on board correspondents who might communicate war news to the enemy by means of perfected apparatus not being yet foreseen by existing conventions, would be arrested near the coast of Kuan-Toug or in the zone of the operations of the Russian fleet, the correspondents will be looked upon as spies and the steamers furnished with wireless telegraphy seized as prizes of war. " This notice opens un an entirely new line of treatment of correspondents. The reference to existing conventions is taken to express the belief of .the Russian government that if wireless telegraphy had been practiced prior to The Hague declaration concerning implements and practices of war, it would surely have been prohibited even in neutral hands. It happens that some of tho leading British newspaper correspondents are making free use of the wireless telegraph in the transmission of their war news, and it is expected they will appeal to their government to define their own privileges and to secure an official determination of the question as to whether a neutral on his own ship outside the territorial waters of a belligerent power and without contraband of war on board can be treated as a spy. Protest Entered. NEW YORK, April 15. The American Deforest Wireless Telegraph Company has telegraphed to Secretary Hay at Washington protesting against the attitude of the Russian government relative to the use of wireless telegraphy by correspondents in the zone of war. The protestants say: "We claim the right, under all international law to use the high seas for peaceful purposes, and demand for our operators, who are American citizens, and for our property the full protection of the United States government." URGED FATHER'S SLAYER TO TAKE HER LIFE, TOO Appeal of Lake Kinsey's Daughter Was Heeded by Her Murderous Sweetheart. CONFESSION OF GAMMONS JACKSON, Miss., April 15. In the presence of a number of witnesses Ed Gammons, who murdered Lake Kinsey and his daughter, Fannie Kinsey, at Watervalley, has made a confession. His statement regarding the death of the young woman, with whom he was in love, is sensational. He says that after he killed her father in the field he went to the house, where tho girl was, and told her of his deed. At first the two planned to run away and be married, but the girl changed her mind and asked him to kill her. which he says he refused at first to do. Then she tried to get the pistol away from him. He then told her to step oft a few paces and turn her back, which she did. He then shot and killed her. Gammons will be tried at the June term of court. PEBYLVAIIIA SYSTEM ' TO STOPJMPROVEMEHTS Report from Cleveland Says Contemplated Expenditures Have Been Abandoned. CHANGES NOT NEEDED CLEVELAND, O., April 15. The Leader to-morrow will print the following: Orders have been sent cu to stop at once all of the improvements that are in contemplation on the Pennsylvania Railroad system. This information was contained in a private dispatch to a representative of the Leader yesterday. The dispatch came from Tittsburg, and is from one who knows whereof he speaks on this subject. The Intention of the company Is now said to be to make only those improvements which are actually needed. These will be those occasioned by the severity of the winter and by the natural deterioration of the property. The improvement work which had been contemplated under the extensive plan will be stopped. The advice which came in the dispatch of yesterday was that this action had been willed by the board of directors. This was the result of a conference which the ofticers of the company and the directors recently held. The officers of the company made the report that the business to take care of which the improvements were contemplated had not materialized, and. therefore, little need existed for the enormous expenditures planned. The officers are also a id to have reported to the directors that the rost of operation had been increased enormously and out of proportion to the natural expectations, and. therefore, a curtailment in some respects had become necessary.

SUCCESSOR OF MAKAROFF A.RUSSIANNAVAL HERO Vice Admiral Skrydloft Won Honors for Bravery in the Turkish Campaign. IN THE NAVY 42 YEARS WASHINGTON. April 13.-Vice Admiral

Skrydloff. who has been selected by the Czar to succeed the late Admiral Makaroff at Port Arthur, entered the Russian naval service in 1SC2, at the age of eight-en years. As a junior officer he first distinguished himself in the Turkish campaign of 1S77. He then was a lieutenant of the naval guards, who sailed principally on imperial yachts. He undertook a day torpedo attack on a Turkish man-of-war, employing a steel launch which had been transformed into a torpedo boat. He had with him Enfign Niloff. now a rear admiral In the Russian - navy, in command of the naval guards. There also was with him at that time the artist, Verestchagin, who went as a volunteer and who is reported to have gone down with the battleship Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur. Skrydloff was unsuccessful in the torpedo attack, but was rewarded witj the St. George cross for his dashing attempt and for personal bravery. He was "shot through both logs and was unable to participate further in the Turkish campaign. Subsequently he was promoted to the grade of commander and was made captain of the sloop Strelok. While commanding that vessel he sent his paymaster ashore at Haiti when the latter was detained. Captain Skrydloff demanded his release upon penalty of bombardment and his paymaster was brought to the ship. He succeeded to the rank of captain and was given command of the Dimitri Denoski, flagship of the Mediterranean squadron, and ufterwarel flagship of the Pacific station. Promotion to rear admiral followed and for two years he served as inspector of torpedoes. He was in command of the Mediterranean squadron during the Crete troubles and his services in that connection commended him to his government. Subsequent to that he commanded the Pacific fleet for three years. He rose to the grade of vice admiral in 1900 and last year he was assigned to command the Black sea fleet amd ports. PRESIDENT AVOIDS All - OFFICIAL EXPRESSION Merely Sends to Count Cassini Personally Regret at Death ofMakaroff and His Men. NOTE FROM AMBASSADOR WASHINGTON, April 15.-Among the subjects considered to-day at the Cabinet meeting was the substance of the communication received from the Russian ambassador regarding the use by correspondents of wireless telegraphy in reporting incidents of the Russo-Japanese war. In addition to this communication the President called attention to the messages of condolence he had received from resident ambassadors regarding 'the accident on the battleship Missouri. One o' these was received last evening from Count Cassini. Incidentally, it referred to the loss of the Russian battleship Petropavlovsk off Port Arthur. Count Cassini's note follows: "Mr. President Having received the sad news of the loss of our battleship the Petropavlovsk, which has cost so many live-s to our brave navy, I simultaneousl.am informed of the disaster which occurred on board your battleship, the Missouri, which took so many lives of yur gallant sailors. Permit me to express to you, Mr. President, my deep sympathy in the name of my government and my own. on this sad occurrence which has deeply moved us all at a time when we, with grief, are mourning our own loss." To Count Cassini personally the regret of 'this government has been expressed at the death of Admiral Makaroff and the ottlcers and crew of the 1'etropavlovsk. As the loss of the ship and its crew was an incident of war the expression of this government's regret was simply one of humanity without reference to the differences which are being fought out between Russia and Japan.

GRID DUKE CYRIL IS RAPIDLY RECOVERING a Denial of a Rumor that the Cousin of the Czar Had Died of His Injuries.

HOW THE DUKE ESCAPED ST. PETERSBURG, April 14. Persistent rumors were in circulation to-day that Grand Duke Cyril was dead, but the correspondent of the Associated Tress investigated the reports and found them to be untrue. Lieutenant General Prince Galitzin, master of the Grand Duke Vladimir's household, is authority for the statement that the grand duke is improving. A telegram from Grand Duke Boris to Grand Duke Vladimir, dated at Liao-Yang yesterday, gave Grand Duke Cyril's account of his escape from death in the disaster to the Petropavlovsk. According to his story Cyril fell at' the moment of the explosion to the port side of the bridge, and from there he lowered himself to the deck. He was then swept away by an immense wave and sank to a considerable depth, but succeeded in regaining tne surface. By his own efforts he caught a floating fragment of the Petrepavlovsk's steam launch, to which he clung for about ten minutes, when he was picked up by the destroyer Bezshumi. The telegram adds that Cyril's aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Von Kube, perished. This evening Trince Galitzin repeated his assurance to the Associated Press that the Grand Duke Cyril was better and that he was with his brother Boris at the headquarters at Liao-Yang. His fever has almost disappeared. Grand Duke Cyril Vladimiovitch of Russia, cousin of the Czar, who was wounded at Port Arthur, visited the United States in lSSU on his way around the world. Accompanying him at that time were two aids-de-eamp, Lieutenants Coube and Pouzanoff, of the Russian navy. The grand duke said to M. Petloff, the consul general, that he considered New York an elegant city. He also said that the American women had captivated him. The duke is a tall, well-built young man. He has fine teeth, blue eyes, light hair and a slight mustache. The grand duke is third in line of succession to the Czar of all the Russias. As third in line of succession he is of great importance, but certain circumstances bring him nearer to the throne than is apparent from the mere statement that he holds third place. The present Czar has no sons and the statutes made and armroved bv successive Czars require that male heirs shall have preierence over lemaie. l tie tzar s next brotlw, the Grand Duke George, is therefore called heir apparent. He is- 6uffering from tuberculosis and Is unmarried. The only remaining brother of the Czar is the Grand Duke Michael, who is also delicate. After him conies the Czar's oldest uncle, the Grand Duke Vladimir, whose oldest son is the Grand Duke; Cyrii. Between him and the imperial throne there are only two delicate lives and that of his father, whom in any case he would succeed. There is another obstacle to the accession of the Grand Duke Cyril to the throne, but it is not likelv that it would prove an effectual one. His mother is a Lutheran, and the late Czar, who dis- 1 liked his sister-i l-law, the Duchess Vladlmir, issued at the instignation of the procurator of the Holy Synod, Pobiedonostseff. a ukase debarring from the succession to the throne any grand duke whose consort was not a member of the Russian orthodox church, and likewise the issue of any such match. There is a reason for this. The Czar is not only a temporal, but a spiritual ruler, occupying a position that in many respects is analogous to that of the Pope of Rome, since at the moment when the Emperor is crowned he is at the same time "consecrated as a priest. It seems, therefore, illogical for the wife of the supreme pontiff of the Russian orthodox church to belong to a faith which is retarded In Russia as heretical. It is doubtful, however, that In the event of his two brothers dying without male issue the Grand Duke Vladimir and his son would submit quietly to their exclusion from the throne. In the event of a contest there is no doubt but what they would have many followers. The Grand Duke . Vladimir and his wife are looked upon in Russia as personifying liberalism and progress in matters temporal and spiritual, whereas Vladimir's younger brother Sergius is the idol and chief of the Pan-Slavlst party in politics and a bigot in everything connected with religion. ' The Grand Duke Cyril and his parents are conspicuous among all the members of the reigning house of Russia for their pro- ! ncunced hostility to everything American. J It has been the habit to spend each summer at San bebastion, where they became intimate with the queen regent of Spain and her children. Several years ago at Paris the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Vladimir took no trouble to conceal their strong sympathies with Spain and are said cn several occasions to have gone out of their way to show their ill will toward ! Americans. The Grand Duke Cyril is the eldest son of that Grand Duke Vladimir, who in addition to being the uncle of the Czar is virtually the commander-in-chief of the Russian army. The young man's training has been that of a naval officer, and up to the opening of the present conflict in the East he nas been a colonel-in-chief of an infantry regiment, the colonelcy having been conferre-d upon him in infancy on the occasion of his baptism. His real rank at that time was lieutenant of the navy. He was born on Oct. 12, 1S7G. He is a bold, inquisitive and adventurous youth, and inherits the physical strength which has belonged to so many of tiie Romanoff family. j Kiiig'a Gift Arrived. ROME. April 13.

AN IMPORTANT MEASURE COLUMBUS, O., April 15. The Legislature to-day agreed upon a compromise on the Brannock district local option bill for municipalities, and it will be signed by the Governor, making it a law. The bill, as it now stands, provides for local option elections by districts in municipalities on petition of 40 per cent, of the electors, such districts to contain not less than three hundred nor more than two thousand electors. Business sections are to be exempt from the provisions of the measure, any street between Intersecting streets, or for five hundred feet, to be treated as a business section if more than 35 per cent, of the frontage is business property. Saloons are not to be counted as either business or residence property. Manufacturing establishl ments are classed as business property. When an election is held the result will control for a period of two years, whether it is for or against saloons. The bill will take effect at once upon being signed by the Governor.

The Pacific Mail Company has received word that the vessel's back was broken. v Under some- circumstances there might be a chance for a vessel so injured, but so far as the Colon is from proper wrecking facilities the chances are nearly all against her being floated.
