Successful RSssian Cavalry Raid.
News of a cavalry raid by Lieut

lowing dispatch from Lieutenant Gen
eral Lluevitch to the emperor, dated

"A cavalry detachment commanded
by Lieutenant General Mistchenko,

CosKacks, while engaged May 17 in re
pulsing the enemy to the southward,

"On May 19 the main body arrived

found the heights south of Fakonuin
occupied by a largo Japanese force
consisting of guards and Infantry with
machine guns. The Russians attacked
and annihilated two Japanese com
panles and captured another company
with all Its officers and two machine
guns.-
"The Russians seized a road on the
right bank of the Llao river and dis
persed near Shlfudz a transport train
seven versts (4 2-3 miles) long with
rice, tinned food nnd fruit, destroyed
the telegraph line and took several

garia Is to recele from Russia $2,
600,000 worth of rolling stock for her

nexation and the opening up of tho
question of tho partition of China.

play, owing to u recent death of a
relative. Captain Hobsou's brother,
Lieut. James M. Hobson, was best
man. Miss Lucia E. Hull, younger
nister of the bride, was bridesmaid.
The presents were numerous and
costly. A gift of A. M. Tucker of
Canton, O., was the key wilh which

gifts were Captain Hobsou's glasses
that were sunk with the Merrimac,
aiid pieces of wood taken from the
same vessel.

RUSSIAN HOPES GONE.
Oft-Defted Manchurian Army
Her Only Resource.
Nothing to Indicate Extent of Japanest
Losses Speculation as to Possibil
Ity of Peace President Renews Hit
Good Offices Reports That Rojest
vensky Has Perished.
Latest advices confirm the nmgnl
tude of the disaster suffered by tht
Russian fleet and point to the facl
that Russia's hopes so far as this wai
Is concerned now He in whatever ma)
be accomplished by the oft-beateD
army In Manchuria.
An official report received from To
klo by the Japanese legation at Wash
lngton on Monday evening says thai
the Russian losses definitely known In
elude two battleships, a coast defense
ship, five cruisers, two special ships
and three destroyers sunk, and twe
battleships, two coast defense ships,
one destroyer and one special service
ship captured, while over 3,000 pilo
oners have been taken, including Real
Admiral Nebogatoff.
The Japanese, it would seem, are
still pursuing the Russians and it may
be some time before the final result
is known.
There is nothing to clearly Indicate
the extent of the Japanese losses and it
is suggested from one source that the
Toklo government is waiting to heai
from Admiral Rojestvensky by way ol
Vladivostok before announcing to what
extent its fleet has suffered.
The news of the dlsater has caused
deep depression In official Russia,
though it is not known generally
among the Russian people.
Rojestvensky's defeat has given rise
to renewed talk of peace. It is point
ed out by the St. Petersburg corres
pondent that Russia In this crisis will
turn to France through its foreign min
ister, M. Delcasse, while from Wash
lngton comes information that PresI
dent Roosevelt, in accordance with hit
promise announced a long time ago, it
taking steps to do all In his power tc
bring about peace negotiations.
Nothing has been heard from Ad
mlral Rojestvensky. In Tokio there
Is some belief that he has perished,
while another source says he was res
cued by a torpedo boat, but that he it
wounded.
EXTENT OF DISASTER.
Every One of Reinforcing Fleet Struck
or Sent to Bottom.
St. Petersburg, May 30. Aftei
waiting vainly for direct news from
the scattered remmants of Vice Ad
mlral Rojestvensky's destroyed and
beaten fleet, the Russian admiralty
no longer attempted to hold out
against the overwhelming evidence
pouring in from all directions, that
the fleet on which all their hopes were
centered, had suffered a greater dis
aster than did the combined French
and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar.
More bitter even than defeat Is the
Japanese claim of the virtual annihila
tion of the Russian fleet with practi
cally no loss on their side,' and many
officers cling doggedly to tho beliet
that Vice Admiral Togo must have
suffered heavily.
With every ship of Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff's reinforcing division eith
er sent to the bottom or forced to
strike its flag and only six of Rojest
vensky's original 1G fighting ships
absent frqm the list of vessels sunk oi
captured and with the Japanese pursuit
still continuing, no naval authority has
tho temority to dream that Russia
can again attempt to wrest the mas
tery of tho sea from Japan In the
present war.
The captured warshls alone will
furnish Japan with rcady-nindo rein
forcements which will be more than
a match for the fourth Pacific squad
ron, now about to sail from Cronstadt
The emperor was completely pros
strated by the news and according
to reports, he broke down and wept.
The effect of the disaster will be a
terrible blow to the government. The
futility of trying to stagger on on
land Is everywhere recognized and the
cry for "peace at any price" is sure to
be raised. This time it Is believed
the government cannot resist such a
cry. Indeed the Radical Liberals' are
openly rejoicing In this hour of theli
country's humiliation. They declare
that the disaster means peace and a
constitution and that tho deaths ol
thousands of their follow countrymen
nnd the loss of over a hundred million
dollars worth of warships is not too
big a price to pay.
The friends of penco iu tho govern
ment are already reproaching the wai
party with forcing the Issue between
Togo and Rojestvensky. Whin tho
fleet appeared in the Straits of Mal
acca they tried vainly to persuade the
emperor that the time was opportune
for the opening of peace negotiations,
but tho war party convinced His Maj
esty, nnd Rojestvensky, for the honor
of the navy, insisted that the fleet
pliould be given n chance lo retrieve
the disasters. suffered on land.
Diplomatists entertain no doubt
that the belligerent faction will con
tinue to urge that the war bo fought
to the bitter end, but the friends of
Russia abroad, and especially France,
are now bringing overwhelming argu
ments (o bear In favor of peace.
Togo's Official Report.
Washington, May 30. The following
official report from Tokio was received
It the Jupniase legation:
"Toklo, May 29. Reports received
from Admiral Togo at the Japanese
headquarters:
"First report received morning of
May 27th. Immediately upon the re
ceipt of report that Russian squadron

started for attack. Weather is fine
today, but heavy seas.
"Second report received night of
May 27th. Combined squadron at
tacked Russian squadron today near
Oklnoshlma (southeast of Tsushima)
and defeated it, sinking at least four
ships and Inflicting heavy damage
upon others. Damage to our ships is
Insignificant. Our destroyers and tor
pedo flotillas delivered attack after
sunset.
"Third report received on Monday,
May 29th. Main force of our com
bined squadron continued pursuit
since the 27th and attacked 28th ar
Lian Court rocks (northeast of Okln
oshlma). Russian squadron, consist
ing of Nleholai First (battleship),
Crel (battleship), Senyavln, Aprexin
and Izumrud. Izumrud fled, while re
maining four vessels surrendered. No
damage to our ships. .
"According to statements of pris
oners, vessels sunk in engagement
May 27th were Borodino (battleship),
Alexandra Third (battleship), Zem
tschug and three other ships. Rear
Admiral NebogntofT and about two
thousand other Russians were taken
prisoners.
"The following are damages suf
fered by enemy In addition to those
given above since commencement of
battle as reported by commanders not
under Immediate command of Togo
and by observation stations:
"Sunk: Admiral Nachimoff, Doml-
tri Doneskol, Svtetlana, Admiral Usa
koff, Kamtchatka, Irutshuss and three
destroyers.
"Captured: Vladimir Monomach
foundered after capture. One special
service ship, whole name unknown,
and one destroyer captured.
"Russian losses definitely known so
far may be classified as follows'; Two
battleships, one coast defense ship,
five cruisers, two special ships, three
destroyers were sunk; two battle
ships, two coast defense ships, one
special service ship, one destroyer
were captured.
"It Is not yet clear whether three
vessels as stated by prisoners to have
been sunk are Included or not In
above list. There are more than 1,000
prisoners besides 2,000 taken by main
force of combined squadron.
"The naval engagement Is still In
progress, so tint it will take some
time before the final result can ba
known."
FRENCH PUBLIC OPINION.
Seml-Officlal Temps Says Russia Has
Played Her Last Card.
Paris, May 30. The magnitude of
the Russian naval disaster has fairly
stunned French public opinion, which
had hoped that late advices would
show that Japan had also suffered
some share of the losses. The dis
aster is generally discussed, by of
ficials, the public and the press In a
tone of depression, the prevailing view
being that Russia now would be com
pelled to terminate the war.
The bourse first gave evidence of a
strong pence sentiment by the buoy
ancy of the market. The leading jour
nals, including the semi-official Temps,
urged peace, declaring that Russia
had played her last card. The of
ficials, however, maintained it was too
early to foresee the effect until Rus
sia's side should be heard and fuller
details were available.
Some quarters were disposed to con
sider the presence of Secretary Hay
as opportune, but. those best posted
said that tho secretary's health and
the regime that he is compelled to fol
low would precludo the possibility of
his taking an active hand, even If a
peace movement developed.
Moreover, France Is on tho evo of
a National demonstration of welcome
to King Alfonso, who will arrive here
today, and this absorbs French official
attention owing to the Importance at
taching to the Anglo-French-Spanish
entente over Morocco.
Jt was stated In diplomatic quarters
that, while the result of the battle
would contribute to eventual peace, It
did not give any immediate prospect
of tho opening of negotiations to thnt
end, It was pointed out that Russian
obstinacy would probably Impel them
to turn their hopes toward Lieut. Gen.
LInevitch and to await the result of
another land battle. It was said in this
connection that tho land situation
would not bo likely to permit Field
Marshal Oyama to strike another de
cisive blow within two weeks, thus
prolonging Russia's hopes on land und
deferring her willingness to ask for
peace.

CARPENTER'S WIFE IN LUCK.
Father Who Abandoned Her as a Baby
Leaves Her $500,000.
Pittsburg, May 30. A fortune of
$500,000 awaits Mrs. Annie Becker,
wlfo of August Becker, a carpenter,
living at 205 Revona street, Glonwood,
thlB city. Tho German consul at
Philadelphia has been searching many
months for Mrs. Becker to Inform her
of her good luck.
Twenty-three years ago a eon of
Philip Vortlsch of Wllklnsburg found
a girl baby lying In his father's field.
He told his mother, and Mrs. Vortlsch
took the baby, which was almost
frozen and nearly dead from exposure,
to her home and nursed it back to
life.
Ten days later Mrs. GeorgeSteln
appeared at tho Vortlsch home and
offered to adopt the baby. The Infant
was given to Mrs. Stein. She was
named Annie, and her younger days
were spent without any knowlcdgo
that she was other than the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Stein. When she was
married three years ago to August
Becker, however, ' the story of her
babyhood was told her. Nobody ever
knew who her parents were.
Several days ago a representative
of the German consul at Philadelphia
visited Justice of the Peace S. J.
Creelman of Wllklnsburg. He wan
searching for the child who had been
abandoned years before. Creelman
had been a reporter on a local news
paper at that time. Ho located Mrs.
Becker. Then the consul's represen
tative told the woman that her father
In Germany, whose name ho withhold,
had died and left a fortune of half a
million dollars. He had explicitly ex
plained how he abandoned tho child
twenty-three years ago.
