Although Russia's answer to Secretary Hay's note asking her to respect the neutrality of China and localize hostilities as much as possible has not yet been received, the state department knows indirectly from London and Paris that Russia will reply favorably. It thon will remain for the powers to fix the scope of their note and to draft a more definite proposition for acceptance by the two combatants. Satisfaction is expressed in administration circles that Great Britain as veil as Russia has decided to waive objections to the note. It is expected that all the formal answers to the secretary's note will reach here early this week. CONDITIONS STRAINED Japan Declares Her Right to Russian Prisoners. Nagasaki, Feb. 15. According to advices received here, the engagement at Port Arthur commenced at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 9th. Altogether twelve vessels were destroyed and eight captured. The captured vessels were expected at Sasebo Sunday. The emperor has congratulated Admiral Togo, commanding the fleet, for his splendid victory. It i3 considered significant that the rigid censorship regarding th movements of the Japanese fleet haji been withdrawn The Eruptio. Dry, moist, scaly tetter, all forms of eczema or salt rheum, pimples and other cutaneous eruptions proceed from humors, either inherited, or acquired through defective digestion and assimilation. To treat these eruptions "with drying medicines is dangerous.

vessels 'that comprised Jhe Japanese fleet which attacked and destroyed the Russian cruisers Variag and Korittz at Chemulpo on the'Sth instant, were the cruisers Naniva, Takachino, Akashi Suma and the Asama. The Japanese did not lose a man. The survivors from the Variag and the Korietz, the Russian cruisers that were sunk by the Japanese fleet at Chemulpo last Tuesday still remiln on board the British cruiser Talbot, the Italian cruiser Elba and the French cruiser Pascal. The situation is becoming acute as the Japanese have twice made demands on the commanders of the three foreign vessels that the Russians be surrendered as prisoners of war. The captain of tho Talbot, being the senior naval officer, each time replied that he was awaiting instructions from his government. None of the Russians are on board the American gunboat Vicksburg, whose commander considers that the Japanese are right in their demands as the Russians took advantage of tb ciciency of the Japanese in returning to the harbor and then taking refuse on the foreign vessels and relusiug to surrender whereas the Japanese feet refrained from sinking them in the open sea as they could have dona. JAPAN DEEPLY STIRRED

The Zensho Maru Incident Is Called a Wanton Crime. Tokio, Feb. 15. Japan is deeply stirred and bitterly resentful over the sinking of the merchant vessel Zensho Maru by four Russian cruisers which attacked the Zensho Maru and her companion the Naganoura Maru while on their way from Hakodate to Otaru, on the island Hakkaido. The attack of the Russians is declared to be a wanton crime, unjustified under any circumstances, even assuming that the Zensho Maru disregarded signals, which is denied. The foreign office has issued the following statement regarding the sinking of the Zensho Maru: "Two Japanese merchant vessels, the Zensho Maru and the Naganoura Maru, tonnage 170 and 700 respectively, while sailing from Hakata for Otaru, were suddenly attacked by four Russian cruisers from Vladivostock on Feb. 11, while ten miles off Jensangtsi. Fire was opened without any 'order being given the vessels to surrender. The Naganoura succeeded in escaping. The other vessel was surrounded by the cruisers and sunk. All on board were either killed or drowned." It is said the Japanese government is planning reprisals. Several Russian ships which have been detained in order to prevent reports of the movements of the Japanese from reaching the enemy will now, it is said, be sent to the prize courts, and in all probability will be confiscated. The presence of the Russian squadrons in northern Japanese waters centers all interest there. The country is Isolated and it is difficult to obtain satisfactory reports from there. A variety of rumors stir Tokio. One says Matsuma has been bombarded; another that the Japanese cruisers have engaged the Russians. The government has not confirmed anything ercept the Zensho Maru incident. It is. doubted that Matsuma has been bombarded, as it is undefended. It is regarded as probable that the Russian fleet returned to Vladivostock after completing a movement planned to divert the Japanese. The Japanese war ship Amain has captured the German steamer Yokohama which had a cargo including dynamite for Pore Arthur. JAPS LAND NEAR SEOUL Official Confirmation of Heavy Movement at Chemulpo. St. Petersburg, Feb. 15. A communication from Viceroy Alexieff. just received, confirms the report of the landing of 19,000 Japanese troops at Chemulpo. The viceroy ad Is that reports have been received of attempts to cut the telegraph wires along the Chinese Eastern railway and also to destroy one of the abutments of the Sungari bridge. These attempts, he says, were immediately detected and decisive measures taken to guard the railway. There is no official confirmation of the rumor from Port Arthur cf the landing of Japanese troops at Shan-Kai-Kwan. If the rumors should prove to be correct it wiil moan that the Japanese are trying to got in the rear of the Russians from both flanko with the object of cutting communications. All is quiet at Port Arthur. There is no nows of the enemy's fleet, and no confirmation of the reported appearance of Japanese iron-clads off TatungI'an, but the indications are that the enemy's scouts are off In Kan. The mobilization of troops is being successfully carried out. General Razilewski, chief engineer, reports that the Port Arthur forts were not damaged during the bombardment. A Land Battle Reported. Che Foo, Feb. "15. It Is reported that 12,000 Japanese troops were landed at Dove bay last Wednesday morning and that they were met by the Russians who engaged them In a hand-to-hand fight. The reports say the Japanese were driven back. It Is also reported that Japanese troops have been landed forty miles further west. Little Fresh News. London, Feb. 15. There were a number of belated telegrams reaching London from the far East today, but added little or nothing to what is already known regarding the situation there. The mystery surrounding the fate of the Vladivostock squadron Is still unsolved.

NO INDICTMENTS

Every Kflbrt Was Made by the Grand Jury to Secure Indictments Without Avail. Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 15.

The victims, while stating that they had been whipped, said they could not and did not recognize any one.

MINERS' SCALE COMMITTEE Old Struggle Has Been Renewed at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Feb. 15. The meeting of the committee, representing the operators and mine workers of the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, which was appointed at the recent unsuccessful conference to decide upon a date for the calling together of the joint wage scale committee, is in session today in the Claypool hotel.

The committee will set a date on which members of the scale committee will assemble in Indianapolis to fight out the wage scale issue. Failing to come to an agreement, a call will be sent to all delegates of the miners and operators to again meet in joint conference, when the quastion will be again heard. Unless the operators grant the miners' demands in the scale committee meetings it is certain a general call must be made, as the miners have instructed their scale committee to accept nothing but the present scale. A Valuable Map. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 15. After almost a decade of unremitting labor State Geologist Blatchley has completed his geological map of Indiana, the first of its kind for this state. Topographically it is accurate in every particular, and the various sections of the map each represent personal surveys of the different parts of Indiana made by Mr. Blatchley.
