Japan la deeply stirred and bitterly re
sentful over the sinking of the merchant
veaael Zensho Maru by four Russian cruis
ers, which yesterday attacked the Zensho
Maru and ita companion, the Naganoura
Maru. while they were on. their way from
Hakata to Otaru, on the Island of Hak
odate. The attack of the Russians la
looked upon a a wanton crime, unjustified
under any clrcumatancea, even assuming
that tha Zenaho Maru disregarded signals,
which 1 denied.
At I p. m. th foreign office Issued the
following otatement regarding the sinking
of th Zensho Maru:
Two Japanese merchant vessels, the Zenr
sho Maru and the Naganoura Maru. ton
nage 170 and 700 respectively, while sailing
from Hakata for Otaru, were suddenly
attacked by four Russian cruisers from
Vladivostok on February 11, while . ten
miles off Jensapgta. Fire was opened with
out any order being riven the vessels to
surrender, The Naganoura Succeeded In
eacarlnar. The other vessel wot surrounded
by the cruisers and sunk. All on board
were either Killed or crowned.
It 1 said the Japanese government is
planning reprisals. Several Russian ships

The Japanese government haa decided to

Nearly every Important navy In the world

the men-of-war anchored off Fortree Mon

when the launch "carrying Ihls narticulr

Russian cruiser. An officer stood at the

though It had been In service fnf a decade.
Grease spot and'dhat were Its conspicuous
feature. The gold lac wa tarnished and
th buttons were Soiled. The visitor were
greeted cordially and war ushered (nto
the wardroom; There we discovered
scene of disorder which astonished the few
American cWcer In the party. Plrty linen
waa carelessly thrown upon the "transom
while several pairs of shoes were scattered
over the floor. . On the dlnlneroom fable
were: a half dosen tea cup Containing the

On tha other hand It la expected by every

Dest raetlveaess of th Torpedo.
Japan haa profound faith In th efficiency
of th torpedoboat to deliver a blow and
get away under cover of th darkness. In
fact torpodpboat rushes seem to be Japan's
naval specialty. The great victory won by
the little Japanese boata at Port Arthur
thla week la a repetition of the triumph of
the mikado's torpedoboats at Wei Hal Wei
but nine year ago February 8 and 8, 15,
will be remembered forever In Japan' his

night at Port Arthur. There are many
naval authorities, not only In this country,
but abroad, who doubt ths efficiency of the
torpedoboat In tlm of war, but th per

past week have shaken preconceived no

of the capture of Wei Hal Wei.

campaign against the city Which la now the
British atronghold of China. The fort on
the Island guarding the harbor were not
very active, but th Chinese squadron an
swered with energy. It was bottled up In
the harbor, where the Japanese could not
hop to destroy It from th mainland. Only
on mean of silencing th fleet remained.
The torpedoboat squadron might reach It
when battleship could not' Japanes gun
boats begun firing on the Island fortifica
tions in th early morning of February I,
and under cover of this fir two Japanes
flotillas crept through th entrance to th
harbor. Th moon went down at t o'clock
In the morning and th little craft then
worked their way Into th harbor.
The torpedoboat passed th gunboat

torpedoes, on of th Japanea torpedo
boat. No. t by name, left the rest of
Japan' boat and wandered around In th
harbor unUl It fell In with a flotilla of
Chines torpedoboats and managed to make
Its way cloa to th Chinese fleet It fired
at th Ting Tuen, a 7,130-ton flagship with
such telling effect that the flagship soon
sank. Th little torpedo boat wa badly
riddled by Chines cruiser and gunboat
before It left tha harbor, but It work wa
one of th greatest triumph of th war
between Japan and China. Later Japanes
torpedoboat also fired telling shots at tb
vessel of th Chinese fleet
Not having don sufficient' damage th
Japanes torpedoboats again entered the
harbor the following night when th Wei
Tuen. a alster shin of th Tina! Tuen. was
sunk. Th Lai YUeri and a ateel transport
war also sunk and several other vessel
were damaged.
Weakened by these onslaught th Chi
nese fleet lost heart and the Japanese con
tinued their bombardment of the fortifica
tion of Wei Hal Wei and soon forced the
Chine torpedoboat flotilla to attempt to
scape from the harbor. It waa captured
and a few daya later a white flag greeted
th eye of th Japanes officer. Term
of surrender were arranged, most of th
Chines officer committing suicide, and th
taking of Wet Hat Wet waa completed.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 14. -Just one week
ago today th great fir which destroyed
eighty blocks and 1,500 house In the bust-
ties center of Ihls city broke out and
seven daya thereafter It may be truthfully
aid that the city has shown a recupera
tive power which must be accounted ex
traordinary. Though only Ave week daya hav elapsed
elno th fir was checked the great ma
jority of merchant who wer burned out
hav found locatlona and hav resumed
business. Furniture dealer, Jewelers, cloth
ier and ofhers have already received new
stocks and displayed them on shelve,
counter and In windows, and every bank
la doing business, although In restricted
quarter, It Is true, but th current of
trade and financial transactions ah begun
to flow on aa before.
Baltimore's greatest good fortune waa tn
the exemption Of Its terminal facilities
from th destroying blast, a circumtsanc
which haa enabled the chamber of com
merce to notlfjt the world that It la ready
for business at th old stand ahd which
furnishea the guarantee that there will be
no Interruption to th vast exporting and
Importing business and th great coast
line trade of this seaport tha restoration
of almost th whole of the city' street car
line service I on of the agreeable sur
prises of the week, a th inhabitant
feared that th period of walking would be
extended indefinitely. . .
Soldier aid Folle Active.
Several hundred people came her today
from Philadelphia and Washington and
other neighboring point to view the ruin
of the Are, though th crowd of sightseer
was not nearly ao larg aa expected. The
prohibition agatnat excursion train made
public, yesterday and the severity of the
weather apparently had th effect of keep
ing away thousands who were anxleus to
com.
Many walla were also pulled down with
rope and pulley operated by tang of
men and th fir area waa strictly on of
danger during the entire day. The polic
ing of th district wa performed almost
entirely by stats Infantry and cavalry, th
militiamen being In evidence all along and
within , the lines. Only a limited number
of newspaper men and officials having nec
essary business there wer allowed to ?as
the cordon of bayonets, and even :hess
wer kept at a safe distance from th dy
namiter. Tha energy exhibited by Mayor McLan
and ths trhola city fdvernrstent in bring
ing order out of chaos, and the spirit of
resolution shown by tha merchants whose
stores ar now shapeless pile of debris
has justly excited admiration on all aldea.
- Work of RebaUdlac.
Tha t th business community I sternly
bent upon th rapid rebuilding of th de
vastated district ha been mad plainly
manifest by th emergency committee
which th mayor haa appointed as an ad
visory board to himself, and which, though
without legal power, will practically exer
cise a potent jurisdiction in regulating the
height and character of buildings, tha
opening of 'new streets, the creation of
small parka on ground heretofore occupied
by ..houses and In other matter related to
the building up a thorough modem city.
Thl committee will also decide on what
street rebuilding may begirt at once, ao
that Improvement may be put Under way
without delay. -
