Washington, D.C., May 28.â€"The American Consul at Nagasaki cables the State Department the Japanese have sunk one Russian battleship, four other warships and a repair ship in the Straits of Corea. ‘ From information which has been received in Washington to-day it is believed that two of the Russian ships reported to have been sunk in ,the Corean Straits by the Japanese ' are the Orel and,her sister ship the Borodino. They are battleships of [13,000 tons. Three other vessels re- ported sunk are believed to have been cruisers, the remaining one be- ing a repair ship. ' _The following is the text of the Nagasaki despntch to the State De- partment: , Nagasaki, May 28.‘â€"â€"Japanese sunk the Russian battleship Borodino and four more warships and a repair ship. The other dcspatch reads: Tokio, May 28.â€"Japanese fleet en- gaged the Baltic squadron this after- noon in the Straits of 'I‘sus'hima, , which was held; cannonading heard from shore. . The belief in naval circles in Wash- ington is that the Japanese resorted .to a. free use of their torpedo boats in their attacks on the vessels of Rojestvensky's fleet. The Japanese have a large number of torpedo boats in their fleet, and they demonstrated their effectiveness in {the operations around Port Arthur. Naval officials here to-night express the opinion that it was unlikely that such serious losses as those reported could have been inflicted by ordinary gunfire. The despatch received at the Amerâ€" ican State Department says that the Japanese Government had made the announcement that its fleet had en- gaged the Russians in the Straits of Cores. Saturday, and had held them. .The reported sinking of the battleâ€" Bhip Borodino is mentioned in a deâ€" spatch received at the State Departâ€" ment toâ€"day from the Consul at NagaSaki. The Orel and Borodino are of 13,- '516 tons displacement, each heavily armed, protected, and designed to make eighteen knots. ‘bey measure '397 feet by 76 feet, with 26 feet draught, and have each a. lofty spar deck, fully 30 feet above the waterâ€" line, extending from the bow to the quarter deck. Forward is mouhted a. pair of 12.4 inch guns in a turret protected by 11 inches of Krupp ar- mor. Another pair of guns, of the same size. are mounted aft. There are 30 other guns of the intermediate battery, the vessels carrying two submerged torpedo tubes and two above the Waterâ€"line. A special feature of the vessels is :their vertical longitudinal bulkheads of inch armor, running throughout ,the whole. length of the ship at a distance nine or ten feet inboard from the ship’s sides, designed to localize the efl'eCt of a blow from a ,tcrpedo. Japanese Minister ’l‘akahira has reâ€"} ceiVCd a despatch from Tokio saying, in ell‘ect, that the fighting in the naval battle thus far has been with favorable prespects to the Japanese. The Minister's despatch is from pri- vate SOlercS. JAPS PURSUING . London, May 28.-â€"'I'he 'I‘okio cor- respondent of the.

Tsinglau, Monday, May 29.â€"There is a running naval engagement beâ€" tween thc ’tussian and Japanese fleets in the Straits of Corca, ncar the Islands of Oki. It is reported that the whole Russian fleet is not participating, all the slower vessels haying steamed around Japan. The Jo} anese losses so far are stated to be one cruiser and ten torpedo boats. THE LOSSES FRIGHTFUL. I’aris, May 28.â€"A despatch from. Rome states that the Italian Govern- ment has received a despatch' from Che-foo, stating that the engagement between the Russian and Japanese fleets was disastrous to both fleets. The losses were frightful. Every Russian ship was damaged. _..__ ¢.__._.. INSANE SOLDIERS. Forty Lunatics From Port Arthur Reach Chefoo. A Chefoo despatch says: Forty-four lunatic Russian sailors and soldiers from Port Arthur, including a violâ€" ently insane lieutenant, who was on the Sebastopol during the siege, ar- rived here on Tuesday and were imâ€" mediately transferred to the Russian improvised hospital ship Whampol, under the British flag, for transpor- tation direct tp Odessa. The party is accompanied by a former member | ‘of Alcxiefl’s stall, and officers and attendants exceeding in number the patients. The condition of the inâ€" some men varies from a mild melan- choly to the violent stage. The ma- jority are sull'oring from hallucina- [tions rendering; them. in a condition that demands an attendant for each one. The officers in charge state that many of these cases are the result of long incarceration of sick men in hospitals during the terror of the siege. Some cases are the result of scurvy, and the condition of others is due to the terrible nervous strain of continued bombardments and in- ,ccssant service. All cases are apâ€" parently physical wrecks. The scene. was extremely pathetic as the chattering imbeciles mounted the decks of the steamer and entered cages which enclosed the main batches and surrounding deck space, provided for their liberty and comâ€" fort (luring the passage throuin the tropical zones. .PLAGUE GROWING WORSE.

NO CHECK. Japan Is Showing Financial and Eroductive Ability. A Tok'io despatch says: Baron Koâ€" mura, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Some, Minister of Finance, and Baron Shibusawa, addressed the clearing house assoL'iatiou on Friâ€" day. Baron Komura said that the financial capability of Japan hao completely surprised the world. He was glad that Japan was showing a financial and productive ability as Well as strength on the battle field. The war, he said, would last long and he trusted much in the commer- cial ability of the nation after the war curled, when a greater prospect. would be opened before the country. He expected, he Said, further, that the comn’iercial interests would do their utmost to develop and extend commerce. He also expected'the in« troduction of more foreign capital and he counselled his hearers to fa- cilitate this introduction by inspirâ€" ing foreign. capitalists with confi- dence in the country. llarou Sone thanked the financial and commercial interests for their great assistance in financing the war. laron Shibusawa said that the commerce and productixe capacity of the naticn was growing despite the war. The bank clearings, he said, for 1904 exceeded two billion d()l-“ lens, which amount was unprecedent- ed. He expected that the bank. clearâ€" ings for .1? ‘1 would exceed two and One-half lgilnon dollars. . ‘0 . â€"â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€" THE BODIES FOUND. Young Men Carried Over the Falls 3. Month Ago. A Niagara Falls, Ont, (lgspatch says:â€"â€"-’I‘ho bodies of the three young men, John and Thomas Knapp, two brothers of Lasalle, formerly resiâ€" dents of Chippewa, and their comâ€" panion, Philip ’I‘routman, of Grand Island, have been recovered. The three young men were last seen alive on the afternoon of April 22, when they rowed out from Lasalle to fish in the upper river near Navy Island, and the supposition was that they had all gone over the Horseshoe Falls. The only proof of this was that parts of a boa’i, supposed 101:0 theirs, was found below the Falls. The recovery of the bodies has prov- ed the suppositiOn to be correct. ’i‘he body of John Knapp was found in an eddy below the Falls Tuesday afternoon, that of his brother ’l‘honn as about the same place on Wedms- day morning at 11 o'clack. About. 6.30 on Thursday morning.r the body of Philip ’l‘routman was picked III: in the same eddy. ..__.__+____ THE EXODUS ALARMING. Mr. Adson, of Duluth, on the. Movement to Canada.

Disastrous Rioting in Streets of Warsaw. A \l'nrsaW, RilSsinn Poland. des- pntch says:â€"The Jewish disorders ln-I‘e on \‘v'ednesday night arose from an attempt of the Jewish Socialist organization called the Iluud to purge the Ilebrew district of War- saw of all (Ils‘l‘cplltnlilo persons. The llumlifes with the view of expelling their undesirable. coâ€"n-ligiouists com- menced to wreck disorderly houses, fences, and other resorts. ’l‘he disturbances continued all day and were still in progress late. at night. I'Iight persons have already been killed and 100 wounded, 10, seriously. The damage to property has been considm'nblc. There has been no pillaging, but the destruc- tion of the furniture in the houses has been absolute. 'l‘be mob, armed with axes, smashed the doors and windows and brought the furniture out on the streets. The owners 01" the furniture, in attempting to save their belongings, were attacked, beaten and eVen killed. Late at night Cossacks fired on the crowds at two points, wounded four persons. The police did not inter- fere nctivcly during the day. The all‘air is a conflict between the re- spectable Jewish social classis and the disreputable Jewish element. Ono report is that the respectable Jews, tired of hearing the members of their race called opprobrious names, resolved, as the police were receiving: bribes for protecting disre- putable houses and persons. to lake the matter into their own hands. Another report has it that Jewish roughs, in the guise of members of the Dund. were levying blackmail upon shopkeepers. In any case the Socialists seemingly determined on a crusade against the undesirable per- sons of their race, with the result that crowds of men and boys are now systematically ruining the dis- reputable houses. Extraordinary scenes were witness- ed late at night when the crowds visited the better section of the city and demolished apartments filled with costly effects. Wardrobes, pianos, and mirrors were thrown out of the windows. The mob in the streets left open spaces for the fall. ing articles, and then completed the work of destruction. In one place a quantity of valuable jewelry was taken out and deliberately smashel’ with stones. The affair was carefully organized. The leaders were supplied with th! addres es of the owners of disreputv able houses and scarcely a single re- sort in Warsaw escaped destruction. ._.___..}_.._ DOUBLE SETS 0F NERVES. Remarkable Discovery by a. Brit- ish Scientist. A London despatc‘n says: The Mar- shall Hall prize, given every five years by the Royal Medical Sociaty, has been awarded to Henry Head, for an important discovery of the workings of the nervous system. Prof. Ilead had the sensory nerves of his arm divided and then he watched the sensations that followed.' Then he had the nerves reunited by stitching, and he watched the pro- gress of recovery. The result was that he discovered that there are two distinct sets of sensory nerves. One conveys the sensations of pain, heat and cold, and the other, the sensations of touch and also enables one to localize the sensations accur- ately. The. healing power of the skin depends entirely on the former. â€"â€"-â€"+vv-â€"â€"r . HUN DRIED-POUND RAILS. Order Received at the Soo From the Michigan Central. A Sault Ste.
