Jl.-A popular anti-government demonstration, the par ticipants of which Included large numbers of students of both sexes, began at mid day In the Nevsky prospect and lasted about two hours. Hundreds pi police and mounted gendarme who were hidden In the courtyard of the public building! emerged suddenly and charged the crowd at full gallop, dividing the demonstrators In headlong confusion. This led to serious encounters, fifty persons being more or lens severely injured. Large numbers were arrested. Not since the riots of 1901, when Cos sacks, reaching across the Nevsky pros pect from building to building, charged down the boulevard from the Moscow sta tion to the Neva, has the Russian capital lived through such a day of excitement as this. The authorities last night got wind of the big anti-government demonstration planned for today by the social democratic labor parry to demand an immediate end of the war and the convocation of a na tional assembly and every leading paper this morning In black-faced type was an explicit warning to the people at their peril to desist from congregating In the Nevsky prospect near the Kasan cathedral. At the same time extensive preparations wen made to quell any disturbances. The police on the Nevsky prospect wore sex tupled and the dvornlki, or house porters, ' were marshaled in front of their respective buildings. Half a dozen squadrons of ' mounted gendarmes were massed In the ; rear of Kasan cathedral and battalions of reserve .police were stationed in several court yards out of sight. Minister of the Interior Svlatopolk-Mlrsky gave strict or ders, however, that no Cossacks should be used, and Fulton, chief of police. Issued explicit directions to avoid harsh measures , unless it should become absolutely neces sary. Crowd Fills the Thoroughfare. The newspaper warnings, however, by giving notice to those not appraised of the prospect of a demonstration, defeated the very object for which they; were designed, attracting seemingly the whole population , of this vast c,lty tq the eroad thoroughfare, and long-before the hour fixed, despite the pleading of the police, who literally lined ' the sidewalks, the throngs on , the pnve i ments were so dense that movement was al most Impossible, while the snow-covered boulevard was black with a tangled mars of sleighs filled mostly with the curious. In the throngs on the sidewalk were practi cally the whole student body of the cap ital, Including many young women, who have always been prominent In Russia In liberal revolutionary movements, and also thousands of workmen belonging to the social labor party. Red Pisa's Are Raised. Toward 1 o'clock the workmen and stu dents seemed, to swarm tho corner of the Hotel Xurope, oppotlie h Kaxin catl edral. The police, reccgnizli.g tnat the critical moment was approaching, tried In vain to keep back the human tide. Then, when there was not a single mounted policeman In sight, on the stroke of 1, from the heart of the thickly wedged crowd, a blood-red flag, like a jet of flame, suddenly shot up. It was the signal. Other Mugs appeared In the crowd, waving frantically overhead; and they were greeted with a hoarse roar, "Down with autocracy!" The students surged into the street, singing the "Mar . seillalse," while innocent spectators, seek ing to extricate themselves, crowded into doorways and hugged walls. Dismounted police made a single at tempt to force their .way into the crowd to wrest the flags from the demonstrators, but the students and workmen, armed wltn sticks, stood close and beat back their assailants. Then like a Dash from behind the Kasan cathedral came a squadron of gendarmes The doors of adjoining court yards were thrown back and battalions of police came out. A double squadron charged the flunk of the demonstrators with drawn sabers. Five other squadrons circled the mob, cutting through the fringe of spectators, who gladly scurried to cover. The main wedge ,of the demonstrators stood fast only a moment or two. There was a sharp rattle of cudgels and sabers, though the wounds showed the police struck prin cipally with the flat of their sabers. The women were especially fierce in their re sistance. Many were struck and trampled and blood streamed down their faces. . While the mob stood, those within man aged to throw hundreds of revolutionary proclamations over the heads of their fellows. The police urged their horses Into the crowd, driving those wbo resisted into the courtyards, the Hotel Europe and the Catholic church. The intense ex citement lssted about ten minutes, after which mounted squads of the gendarmes patrolled the streets and the policemen devoted themselves to keeping the crowd moving. Few Seriously Hurt. ' Considering the fierce fight the rioters had put up the police acted humanely with the crowd, avoiding brutality in keep ing the throng moving und showing more consideration then the police of many Anerlc&n cities would do under slmllur cir cumstances. Meantime those conttened In the court yards, who were recognised as agitators, were arrested, but others wen allowed to go quietly home, the wounded first having their Injuries dressed. There were probably a hundred broken heads and several were severely wounded, though none fatally so far as ascertainable. So fare there have been over 100 arrests. The ferment continued all day and Into the nlgbt, but only one or two other abortive attempts were made at demonstration, the police being In such force that they had no difficulty in seising the ringleaders no resistance being made In any case. The greatest distress is expressed by con servative liberals over the day's events, all declaring tlvat just what the fate of the semstvo programme was In the balance uan s fruitless) outbreak will be sure te (Continued on Second Page.) PROPERTY OWNERS ALARMED Land Owners- Aeeorlatloa of Ireland . Deplores the Growth of Socialistic Ideas. CORK, Dec. 11. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) At the annual meeting of the Cork Landowners' association Lord Barry more, who presided, referred to the Land Purchase Act. The results of the last j twelve months, he said, had ben very satisfactory to the authors of the measure, but whether the ultimate results would be for the public benefit It was Imporsltde to say. Up to the present Mr. Wyndham told them 15.000.000 worth of land had paffsvd through the court. Notifications of the sale of 17,000,000 worth had reached the court, and he had reason to believe that 20,000.000 worth had actually been sold. The treasury could not advance more than 5.000,on0 annually and It was evident that some of those who had sold would have to wait one, two or more years for their money. On agreements being sanctioned TH per cent was payable to the landlords ntll the capital sum was forthcoming tat was 3tt per cent on the actual pur- -nase money without any regard to the bonus. A great many landlords were pay ing 4 and i per cent on charges on ttielr j pro pert Us und during the years they were j waiting for their money they would find themselves out of pocket 1H or 2 per cent, or perhaps more. Referring to the town tenants' agitation now spreading throughout Ireland, and to the organization of the laborers. Lord Bar ry more suggested that the large and In creasing number of pesant proprietors, together with the owners of town propoety, should Jlon with the landlords in protect ing their property against predatory legis lation. Mr. Longfleld said there was a very socialistic spirit abroad just now and prop erty of all sorts might be endangered In the near future. Mr. Downe Webber, Mr. Savage French and Mr. Penrose Fitzgerald expressed the view that the landlords' con vention would be more necessary In future than It had been for the protection of prop erty owners. BERLIN CLEAN AND WICKED Snch Is Claim Bnaatlnn-ly Made for German Capital by Resident. BERLIN, Dec. It. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) In foreign ears Berlin has an I Iron sound. It suggests a grim city and a ! dull existence a place of gloom and sever ity. But In truth Berlin Is a bright city. Its streets are wide and dignified; Its busi ness houses gay and fresh. So far as out ward appearance is concerned, the Oermnn capital may almost be compared with Paris. As regards naughtiness, the French capi tal might even blush to find Itself In com parlson with Berlin. "In the whole of Europe," said a resident here this week, not without a touch of pride, "there is no city so wicked as Berlin." By daylight this large city wears a massive and almost splendid aspect. The buildings are stately and regular. The tall house, with scarce a chimney pot bft- 1 twnen them, are painted a fresh white. ; The atmosphere Is smokeless. The shop windows axe lettered heavily . with gold, and their walls and doors' are hung with attractive signs. In many of the broad, ' straight streets a tree-shaded footpath runs down the center. One walks on the banks of the Spree under an avenue of sweet smelling trees. Everything Is spotlessly clean, even the trunks and branches of the trees. You never see a grimy house; you never cross a dirty road. More than this ; you never meet a dirty person, j Outwardly, Berlin' is a city without squalor. The misery of the gutter whlck every minute hits the eye of London, eves through the gayest thoroughfares, is here nowhere to be found. Berlin has no gut. ters. EMIGRATION JFROM IRELAND Society Opposed to Departure of I People Makes Report on Subject. j DUBLIN. Dec. 11. (Special Cablegram to ' The Bee.) A report submitted by the Anel 1 Emigration society to the last meeting of : the head council of the Gaelic league points , out that the population In the Irlsh-spenk-ing districts is declining more rapidly than In the rest of the country and at a greater ; rate than formerly. During each of the ! last three years there were ten Irish coun I tlee the emigration from which ranged from ten to twenty-one per 1,000. Included in these were seven Irish-speaking counties, j Last year, when the ratio of emigration : for the whole of Ireland was nine per 1.000. j the rate In Mayo was twenty. In Kerry eignieen, in uaiway seventeen, in Cork fifteen, and in Sllgo fifteen. The only Irlsh-speaklng county with a proportion of emigration below the average is Donegal, which had six per 1,000. The counties of Mayo, Cork, Galway and Kerry contributed 16,675 emigrants last year or 42 per cent of the whole. The report added that a large proportion of the boy and girls In the Irlsh-speaklng districts emigrate as soon as they iesve school and that "the t time spent In teaching them Irish In the schools is fruitless from the point of vlow of keeping the language alive." The counoll of the Gaello league having promised to Investigate the condl tlon of things reported by the Antl-Emlgra-tlon society proceeded to adopt a resolu tion demanding that the Irish language should bo made a compulsory subject In the national schools.

Protest Against Tar set Practice. LONDON, Dec. 11. Captain Mills of the American line steamer Philadelphia has ordered a protest against reckless tsrget practice carried on off Plymouth. He says that as he approached the harbor on Tuesday with many passengers on board their safety was endungered by a gunbost which persisted In firing, even after the patrol launch apprised the gunboat of the liner's approach. The captain said he was obliged twice to stop and go full speed astern to avoid disaster. CEREMONY AT ST. PETER'S Fope Fine Officiates at the Canoniiatioi of Two Saiata. SIXTY THOUSAND PERSONS ATTEND Second Time inch Service Has Been Held Since 18TO Several Amer ican Prelates Are In . Attendance. ROME, Dec. 11. In the presence of sixty thousand people ansembled in St. Peter's Pope Plus X this morning canonized blessed Alrssandre Saull and blessed Oer ardo Maiella descendants of whom. Includ ing Marquises Ambroselo, Saull and Negrotto, assisted in the canonization, a ceremony so rare In recent times that this is only the seond time that It has been held since 1870. The basilica was beautiful with electric lights, its Immense height showing the Illuminated to perfection. The throne had been erected behind the high altar and chair of St. Peter, having a device of rays of gold with a picture of the trinity in the center. Altogether the throne took up a space 90x70 feet. Four banners hung under the dome showing the chief miracles of the new saints. The papal procession met in the Slstlne chapel, entering the basilica by the chapel of the Holy Sacrament. The pope. In the full pontifical coetume, was carried In the sedla gestatorla with Its historic fans. His robust figure and handsome head shown thus to the best advantage, and when he entered the church it was Impos sible for the authorities to repress entirely an outburst of loyalty of the multitude, which cried "Long Live Pope Pius." The scence was such as to evoke the devotion of the beholder, everything having been done to heighten the effect and tho central figure In the ceremonial presenting a picture never to be forgotten. His holiness was preceded, surrounded and followed by guards of the court and high prelates. He looked pale, fatigued and less robust than a year ago, as though the triple crown was bearing heavily upon hi in. Tho pope was thus escorted to the throne, the cardinals, archbishops and bishops forming a square about him. The ceremony that followed was Intere-t-Ing In the extreme. Pope . Plus, pontlll cated, preserving a calm, reverential air to the end, although he confessed later he was greatly fatigued. After the ceremony the procession was re-formed amid murmurs of love and loyalty. All the American prelates now In Rome who assisted In the beatification Thursday attended the ceremony of the saints canonized today, as did also the faculty of the American college at Rom. WILL DROP WARSHIP'S RAM Change In System of Fighting- Makes Former I'seful Weapon I'ndeslrable. LONDON, Dec. 11. (Special Cablegram The Bee.) It Is proposed to omit the ram from the. battleships of the Lord Nelson type and the cruisers bt the" Minotaur class. The ram Is a weapon that has played a prominent part In naval warfare, and ap peals to the popular Imagination, but It Is regarded as effective no longer. It came Into general use with the Hotspur class. These were battleships of 4,000 tons, with a speed of eight knota A vessel of this dis placement and speed might have many op potunltles of ramming an adversary, bul the service men of today regard the weapor as a troublesome encumbrance. "Take a ship like this," said the captail of one of the county cruisers this week. "Here Is a hull with a dead weight of 10,00, tons and a maneuvering speed of eighteen knots. Work out the momentum of such a blow as we could give, and the figures will make your brain reel. Before you can ram your ship Vou must catch It. With the high speed tactics of the present day, this Is practically an Impossibility. Tou could only catch It If it were disabled, and no man would ram a helpless ship. "Suppose, however, for the sake of argu ment that you got home a square elghteen knot broadside blow. Tou would cut clean through your opponent nobody doubts that for a minute. But what state would you be In afterwards? Your hull might sustain the Impact, although I should pre dict a general bursting up of plate rivets. "Half the boilers, whether they were box ended or watertubea, would blow up with the shock. Every steam pipe would give out. The bedding bolts of the main en gines would be wrenched free and the whole mass of machinery would be slung Into the fore stoke hold. Tour heavy guns would jump clean outof their cradles. In fact, I would just as soon set light to the magazine room as use the ram In this ship, for similar results would be accom plished rather more quickly." NATIVES KILL BOAT'S CREW British Commissioner Finds Men Be headed by Afrlcnns After n Palaver, LIVERPOOL, Dec. 11. (Special Cable gram to The Bee.) The Elder-Dempster steamer Bekondl, which has arrived from' West Africa, brings news of the massacre of a boat's crew.

Dec ll.-The principal event scheduled for the senste the pres ent week Is the taking of the vote on the Philippine civil bill which Is set down for next Friday st t o'clock. Under the agreement to vote, the bill remains the tin finished business of the senate until that date and it will have preference over all other questions each day after 2 o'clock. Many democratic senators are opposed to the bill, but the best Information obtain able Is that there will be no debate on the Philippine question. They will devote their efforts to securing a modification of some of the provisions of the bill as es pecially obnoxious, giving special attention to the bond and Chinese Immigration clause. After the vote on the Philippine bill Frldsy the senate will adjourn until the following Monday and It is considered doubtful whether much more business of general Importance will be then undertaken until after Christmas, as many senators have announced their Intention of leaving for home Immediately after the vote on the Philippine question. It had been the original intention to press for adjourn ment as early" as the 19th Inst., but there Is now manifest a disposition to allow the house to have Its wny In fixing the date for the 21st, even though the senate re mains technically In session, as will be the case, according to the present outlook. It Is the Intention not to' transact much business other than the Philippine legisla tion during the present week. Senator Heyburn on Monday will make an effort to secure consideration of the pure food bill, but if he suoceeds In getting It before the senate It would "not. be seriously proceeded with before the holidays. It Is believed that the statehood bill will not be reported from committee before the hollda ys. The vacancies on the .senate committees probably will be filled during the week. PROGRAM OF THE LOWER HOI SK Today Will Be Devoted to Private Pension Bills. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. The house will begin the sceond week of the session with consideration of private pension bills, Monday having been made pension day. On Tuesday the resolution reported by the judiciary committee to Impeach Charles Swayne, . Judge of the Northern district of Florida, comes .before the house as a special order. Its consideration having been deferred by resolution at the last session to that day, and authority given the Judi ciary committee to take further testi mony. All the evidence taken, Including that heard since the last session, has been printed for the . use of members of the house. A supplemental report has been submitted to the house by the Judiciary committee advising the house of additional testimony, It Is probable that the appro priations committee may report a snort urgent deficiency bill during the week, and It Is barely possible that the District of Columbia appropriation bill may b4 re ported by the end of the week. A subcommittee .is hard al work framing the bill. FOUR SAILOBS RL. DROWNED Captain Eily and FeurOthera of Crew of tho Flskhawk .Hench tha Shore Snfely. HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass., Dec 11. Four of the twenty members of the crew of the Boston Ashing schooner. Fish Hawk, lost their lives last night after deserting their vessel, which had struck and was pounding heavily on Peaked Hill bars at the north end of Cape Cod. Five others, including Captain Bly, who followed their four companions over the side, had a se vere six hours' tussle against a freezing sea and gule In a small dory, but managed to reach Provlncetown harbor. The deaths and suffering would have been avoided bad all stayed by their vessel, which had a miraculous escape, and four hours later was safely anchored In Provlncetown har bor. The Fish Hawk was Ashing off Cape Cod yesterday, when the weather became threatening and Captain Bly decided to run Into Provlncetown. Before he reached the end of the cape the vessel fetched up on the Peaked Hill bars. Captain Bly burned his signal torch and then ordered his crew Into the boats. Four of the seamen Jumped Into a dory which was almost Immediately capsized. Captain Bly and four others left the vessel a few minutes later. Before the rest of the crew could follow their skipper, the wind and sea had driven the Fish Hawk over the bar and it was navigated into Provlncetown harbor.

The convention has been called for the purpose of giving full discussion to the boll, weevil problem, In all of its many phases, and, If possible, to devise a practical plan looking to the extermination of the cotton pest.

CHADWICK Indications that Her Creditors Will Oct One and a Half Mills en the Dollar. CHARGE OF rORGERY WILL NOT HOLD Lawyers Say that aa She Did Sat Try to Hearottate Boms Paper She faaaol Be Prosccnted on that Chnrge. CLEVELAND, O., Dec 11. According to the most accurate estimate of the estaW of Mrs. Chadwick that Is possible, before the receiver has Investigated her as et and reported his finding to the court, her creditors as a whole will receive abcut one and one-half mills on the dollar. What lends additional Interest to this showing, from the creditors' standpoint. Is that one man, Iri Repnolds, will receive the whole of the assets visible at the present time. There may be funds in reserve somewhere, as there may be addition creditors, who have not yet announced that Mrs. Chad wick is Indifcted to them, but it is not ex pected by bankers and attorneys of thli city, who have the greatest knowledge of her affairs, that any more large loans will be developed. The extent of her operations Is now believed to be approximately as follows: Secured from Citizens National Bank of Oberlln snd various sources In and about Lorain county, Ohio S 600,000 Borowed from Herbert D. New ton 190,000 Borrowed from business men In Pittsburg 600,000 Total $1,190,003 Against this stands security of known value, one note amounting to 11,800, which is held by Irl Reynolds. The amount of money received by Mrs. Chadwick In Pittsburg may run as high as $800,000, but It Is bellved that a portion of this sum Is a bonus promised by her for an original loan of $500,000. Her creditor there figures that she Is indebted to him for the larger amounts, while she has admitted that she owes $500,000. If her debt In this direction Is $809,000 tha probability In sight of the credl.ors I about one and one-fifth mills on the dollar. It Is not believed by any of the attorneys In the case that the Carnegie securities will be of any account whntever. If they do at any time reveal value other than that of so many cents per pound of white paper, the delight of tho lawyers will be comparable only to their amazement, and Just now they are anticipating neither pleasure nor astonishment. Forgery Charge Will Not Hold. The case of Mrs. Chadwick will to morrow morning be brought before the grand Jury of Cuyahoga county. The investigation will only extend to the alleged forgeries of the Carnegie notes, and a report from this jury Is expected no later than Tuesday. It is tho opinion of some of tha leading attorneys of Cleveland that the charge of forgery cannot bo made U hold In con nection with these notes. They declare that It Is not an 'act of' forgery for one person to write the name of another, but that the, offense licit In the attempt to negotiate such a signature for a specif ; value. This, they say, there Is, so far, no evidence, that Mrs. Chadwick has dono. She has not sold or attempted to sell tho notes for cash. She has not said that Mie would be glad to obtain money in exchange for them. She haa obtained from various sources the statement of Irl Reynolds that she, to the best of his knowledge and belief, held securities of a certain value, and whether ho proves correct or otherwise In his estimate of the value of the notes, there can be no doubt that Mr. Reynolds believed what he said. There has been, ac cording to the attorneys, no evidence so far elicited showing that Mrs. Chadwick obtained money on theae notes in any other manner than through the attestation of Iri Reynolds that he had seen the notes and considered them good. It any man loaned money to Mrs. Chadwick acoording to the strength of bis belief in the ability of Mr. Reynolds to judge accurately of the value of securities, then the affair, according to the attorneys who hold this view of the case, is one that rests only between that man and his own hard luck. Other charges may be brought home to her, they declare, but in their opinion it will be somewhat difficult to punish her for forgery In con nection with the Carnegie notes, unless It can be shown that she endeavored to ne gotiate them. This apparently Is the opin ion of the Lorain county grand Jury, which failed to return an indictment against her. The loan of $800,000 said to have been re ceived by Mrs. Chadwick In Pittsburg, or from a man residing In that city. Is de clared to have been made to her by a multi millionaire manufacturer of that city. Mrs. Chadwick, In discussing thia statement. It la known declared that she did' owe him $590,000, but not $800,000, as haa been claimed. Receiver Bell May Resign. The question of the rival receiver will be settled tomorrow at 9:30 a. m. at the office of Nathan Loeser, who was appointed by the United States district court to take charge of the Chadwick securities. Re ceiver Herbert W. Bell, who was appointed by Judge) Babcock of the common plena court, la expected to call with his attorneys upon Receiver Loeser at tbxt hour and withdraw from the position. Mr. Bell said thia afternoon that It was not absolutely certain that he would re sign. "I shall do aa my attorneys think best," he declared, "but I presume the mat ter will be adjusted In the morning." Receiver Loeser is confident that he will be left, under the direction of the court. In charge of such assets as Mr. Chad wick's estate may develop. "I am to meet Mr. Bell and his attorneys tomorrow and I have been told that the matter will be settled amicably. I have no doubt that my appointment as receiver will stand." 1 Statement of Dr. Eaton. Dr. Charles A. Easton, pastor of the Euc lid Avenue Baptist church, whooe name has been mentioned in the Chadwick case and through who e good oftlc the woman man aged to receive a hearing from Herbert D. Newton of Boston, , occupied his pulpit as usual today. Dr. Eaton made no reference, although It had been rumored that he might do so, to tha Chadwick affair, lie feels keenly the publicity given his con nection with the matter and heretofore has refused to make any comment. To a representative of the Associated Press Dr. Eaton said tonight he could best explain his connection with the matter by quoting from an Interview with Banker Newton, from whom Mrs. Chadwick secured a large sum. In that statement Bunker Newton told how he became financially in volved, referring to the Eatona as follows: I Uillve that both Ea'ona scted In perfect good faith in the introduction and that (.Continued on Second Pay . , NEBRASKA WEATHER FORECAST Tcmpcrntnrc nt Omaha Yesterday" Hnnr.

XO CRAZY ITALIAN RUNS AMUCK Man at Grand Rnplds Injures Three Policemen and Damnarcs t hnroh Oratan to Extent of fl.SOO. GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Dec. ll.-Clnd only In his underclothing, a raving maniac from an attack of typhoid fever, James Delatto, an Italian, .12 years of sge, with an axe held seven policemen at bay for over two hours in the Fifth Reformed Dutch church shortly before the morning service todny. Before being captured he Jumped on top of the big pipe organ and policemen were compelled to climb Into it from overhead to capture him. In the capture three policemen were cut with the axe and Delatto was shot through the head, but may recover. The organ was damHged to the extent of $1,500 and other damage was caused in the church by the axe. Two officers were first sent to the church when the police were notified that De latto was there. They could do nothing with the man and more were sent for. When reinforcements arrived, Delatto, armed with the axe,, crawled up on top of the pipe organ. The officers then pro cured ladders to climb up after him, but as fast as the ladders were placed against the organ the maniac cut them down. Tiring of this he Jumped down Into tho organ among the -pipes. In a narrow space not more than four feet square. . Officer Spring seized one of the pipes which had bejn knocked loose and Jumped In after him. There the two men fought, one with the axe, the other with the pipe. Spring was hit a glancing blow In the face with the axe, being cut through the chin and losing several teeth. Officer Steed also plunged Into the pit, the axe was finally wrenched from him, but he fought with tooth and nail until Steed's face Is hardly recognizable. Officer Spring finally se cured a secure hold on the maniac from In front and he was overpowered and hand cuffed. At the Jail it required the com bined efforts of seven of the strongest men In the department to hold the man until he could be shackled and chloroformed so that his Injuries could be attended to.

The Japanese continue to batter the Port Arthur fleet and there is little ground for expecting that It will ever again engage the Japanese. The battleship Sobastnpol continues at anchor outside, but possibly returns to tho harbor at night and anchors inside tho outer boom, which protects It from tor pedo boats. The recent heavy weather has given added protection to the vessel. Naval experts are discarding the theory that the Russians themselves sank any of. the ships. The fact that the vessela first showed lists while In exposed posi tions and the efforts made to save fno Sebastopol sre regarded as conclusive evi dence against the theory of their being sunk by the Russians. A majority of tho sunken warships lie headed northward. They received the bulk of the fire across their port sides and the fnct that at least two of them showed lists to starboard gives rise to the theory that Japanese shells exploded Inside the ships and against the starboard armor, driving the armor outward and causing leaks. To make sure of the destruction of the Russian warships the Japanese continue to drop shells Into the sunken hulks. Looking; for Torpedo Boots. The whereabouts of the torpedo boat destroyers continues doubtful, but it la thought they sre sheltering outside tho harbor. The weather prevents a good observation being made, but the Japanese are sending a searching fire Into the nooks which are not observable from 303-Meter hill and other heights. The observers report a number of tugs, launches, dredg ers and small craft anchored near tho hospital ships In the west harbor, where they evidently have gone for the purpose of obtaining protection. It is suggested that the besiegers notify Lieutenant General Stoesscl to separate these vessels from tho hospital ships or take the consequence. The Japanese are exercising care to avoid hitting the hospital ships, which frequently are In the direct line of Are. Japanese Losses Arc Heavy. LONDON, Dec. 11.
