Captain Truppel, the German Governor, states that the Russian warships will not leave the harbour until the conclusion of the war. A Japanese flag lieutenant inspected the vessels during the day. THE PORT ARTHUR SORTIE [Prose Association Special Service.) CHI-FU, Tuesday. The Russian sortie from Port Arthur this morning is regarded as being a confirmation of the report that the Japanese have occupied an important position on the land aide of the town, the fire from which com- pelled the Russians to leave the harbour. It is. however, certain that the ships returned to their previous anchorage. [Press Association Special Service.] TOKIO, Tuesday, Noon. It eeema certain that the Rneeian cruiser Pallada was torpedoed and sunk in the battle on the 10th. She has failed to return to Port Arthur, and has not been reported. Belated reports from various ships continue to reach Admiral Togo. The Japanese torpedo-boats and destroyers made a series of attacks during the pursuit. A destroyer reports that she hit a vessel of the Pallada type. The vessel foundered, and,.probably the entire crew were killed or drowned. Whatever the fate of the vessel may be, it will soon be determined. If she is afloat she will speedily be reported, and if she is destroyed wreckage will probably be found. THE NAVAL BATTLE Gruesome Incidents in the Fray [Press Association Special Service.] CHI-FU, Tuesday. A striking incident of the naval battle on the 10th inst. was the surrounding of the battleship Retvisan by Japanese torpedo- boats, the other Russian vessels having gone to the assistance of the Czarevitch, which was then hard pressed. The Retvisan despe- rately attempted to break through the line, and tried to ram a cruiser which approached, bat was fairly blown out of her course by the hail of shells from the cruisers which began to take part in the fight. Every officer of the Czarevitch was either killed or wounded. While the vessel was making for Tsing-tan funeral services were held, in many cases, over heads, arms, and legs. One sailor, whose hand, had been severed by a fragment of shell, maddened by the pain and scene of carnage around him, approached the cap. tain, and, holding out the severed member in his remaining hand, requested that a prayer might be said over it. RUSSIAN WARSHIPS DISMANTLED [Press Association Special Service.] TSING-TAU (KIAO-CHAU), Tuesday, Noon. A Japanese destroyer has just entered the harbour, having on board Admiral Ikadzaki and etaff, who will oall upon the Governor. The Russian ships are to be dismantled. The German authorities have notified the Japanese that any ship entering the harbour at night without lights will be fired upon. Every precaution has been taken to guard against a repetition of the Chi-fu incident. One German cruiser remains on guard outside the harbour, the other German warships being inside. 1.30 p.m. At the Governor's mansion the Governor assured the Japanese admiral that the Rus- sian ships would be rendered hors de combat, and that their gitns would be disabled. KAMIMURA CONGRATULATED I BY THE MIKAOO [Central New* Special Service.] I TOKIO, Monday (delayed in transmission). Details have reached here of the fight between Admiral Kamimura's squadron and the three Russian cruisers from Vladivostok, which ended in the complete defeat of the latter. The Japanese casualties exceed 100. The Emperor has issued an order expressing his warm apprecia.tion of the victory gained by Admiral Kamimura. Nothing definite is yet known of the Russian cruiser Novik, but it is apparent that she intended to join the Vladivostok ships by the Pacific route. RUSSIAN LOAN FROM GEHMAN I BANKS The "Hamburger Nachrichten" states that the Russian Government has obtained a. 5 per cent. loan of twenty million sterling from a group of German banks .—Central News. THE CHI-FU INCIDENT I The Powers and Japan. I [Press Association Special Service.] PARIS, Wednesday. The Echo de Paris publishes the follow- ing from St. Pketereburg:-UP to the present no confirmation has been received of the report that the Novik had probably sunk 30 miles to the north of Kiao-chan, and that the Pallada had gone down. I The "Matin" announces that M. de NelidofT, the Russian Ambassador in Paris, has handed to M. Delcasee the protest of the Russian Government against the action of the Japanese at Chi-fu. The document, which is most strongly worded, maintains that. according to the principles laid down by international law with regard to the rights of neutrals, the seizure of the Rechitelni was an act of brigandage and not of war. As the French Minister in Tokio has charge of Rus- sian interests in Japan, M. de Nelidoff (the journal states) requested the French Govern- ment to direct its representative to communi- mte the Russian protest to the immaeoe, j Government. The Matin further declares that all the Chancelleries of Europe have been officially informed of the Chi-fu affair, and that, if the facts as stated by the Rus- sian Government are confirmed by the Consuls of the Powers on the spot, the diffe. rent Governments will make collective repre- sentations to the Emperor of Japan with a view of obtaining satisfaction. Before taking such action the Powers will, however, await the Japanese reply to the Russian protest, which wae transmitted to the French Minister in Toklo on Monday last. THE LAST NAVAL BATTLE Russian Warships Still Missing [Reuter's Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday. Up to yesterday neither the Gromoboi nor the Russian cruisers had succeeded in reaching Vladivostok. Their whereabouts is unknown here. Neither is anything kno^n respecting the fate of the Novik.

LORD LANSDOWNE AND SHIPOWNERS Lord Lansdowne, writing to the secretary of the Scottish Shipmasters' Association, says that the question of claims for compensation in cases of vessels seized by Russian warships has not been overlooked. All claims put forward will be carefully examined, and, if properly substantiated, steps will be taken for their presentation to the Russian Govern- ment. Every effort is being made for the proper protection of the crews of the Hipsang and Knight Commander. The former's crew have arrived at Chi-fu. IN THE DOOMED FORTRESS How the Japanese Slain are Treated [Central News Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday. A graphic dispatch has been received to- day from M. Nemirovitch Dancheniko, the noted war correspondent. He estimates the Japanese losses before Port Arthur up to the 4th inst. at 10,000. He sa.ys :_U In Port Arthur everyone is carrying weapons. The wounded outside are left to the care of the Chinese, who wear upon their sleeves the Japanese cross, to which is attached the seal of the Japanese general.

His Excellency was received by Admiral Skrydloff. He is engaged in organis- ing the formation of a second Russian Army. The Chinese railways have been asked whether they have sufficient rolling stock to transport 40,000 troops to Shan-hai-kwan, and, if so, how quickly could the operation be carried out. It appears that the wounded on board the Askold were absolutely starving, and when brought to the hospital at Shanghai they consumed their food ravenously.

Cardiff Man's Character
Cardiff Man's Character SERIOUS CHARGE BREAK8 DOWN At Cardiff Police-court to-day (before Dr. James Mullin and Mr. T. H. Stephens) William Jones, 34, said by the police to be a loafer and an associate of corner boys, was brought up charged on a warrant that between May 10 and August 11 he knowingly lived in part on the proceeds of immorality. According to the police evidence, prisoner is a faithful member of the noble order of the sons of rest, but prisoner described this evidence as a pack of lies, and asserted that he was an industrious worker. The principal police witness was Police-constable Edgar Dix, who said that at 11.10 p.m. on Saturday, August 13, he arrested prisoner in Bute-street. He said, after being cautioned: I admit I only did one day's work last week, but I backed a lot of winners. I want to call Mr. Carter, a Russian Jew. I know the woman you mean, and I have her name on my .arm, and it has been there for years. Accused had been under observation since May 10. He waa continually, by day and night, in the company of a lady of easy virtue, named Sarah Jane Young, of No. 2, Rodney-street. He had seen prisoner follow- ing the girl, sometimes when she was in the company of men. Prisoner was called. and gave evidence in his own behalf. His description of himself was at least indicative of toil. He said he was a dock "labourer," and stayed at the workmen's hotel, Bute-street. He gave an empha/tic denial of the charge, saying tha.t he had had nothing to do with the woman and had received nothing from her, though when she was drunk she "took the liberty" to follow him and to shout after him. He had worked, amongst others, for Spillers; on the Sage, from Carnarvon; and on the steam- ship Sunlight, carrying deals for Councillor Davis, contractor. Prisoner called several of his fellow-workmen, who attested to his constant contribution to the cause of labour. Inspector William Burke gave evidence for the prosecution, after which the Bench came to the conclusion that there was an element of doubt in the case. They gave prisoner the prisoner the bewfit; of tb&t doubt and dis- chagted hup*
"COCHFARPS" COSTSI
"COCHFARPS" COSTSI OARDIFF EX-MAYOR AND HIS I WATER RENT For a few brief moments Alderman Edward Thomas, J.P. ("Cochfarf"), ex-mayor of the county borough, was before the learned stipendiary in Cardiff Police-court to-day over a little item of £7 15s. 2d., water rent due in respect of the premises defendant carries on as a coffee-tavern proprietor at 231 and 282, Bute-street. Mr. Blake (a clerk from the waterworks department) applied for a six weeks' adjourn- ment for the waterworks committee to go into the question of non-liability raised by the defendant. The Alderman: I apply for costs for my appearance here to-day. The Stipendiary: An adjournment for their convenience ? Mr. Blake: He consented yesterday. The Alderman: No; I said I didn't object to an adjournment. Mr. Blake: He was told that application would be made to adjourn the case for six weeks. Alderman Thomas: It is not so, sir. Mr. Blake: Mr. Marks (head of the dsjxtrfc- ment) saw him. Alderman Thomas: Mr. Marks did not. Mr. Treharne Morgan, solicitor, from the town-clerk's office, said they agreed to the adjournment. The Stipendiary (to defendant): You had notice of the intention to apply to-day. if that is so, Mr. Thomas, obviously your atten- dance is unnecessary, and you are not entitled to costs; but if you had No. I Pz summoned for to-morrow, and to-morroir I shall attend and apply for costs.' if you had made that statement you would have been entitled to costs, and I should have given them to you. Defendant: That was the statement to Mr. Marks in the presence of Mr. Henry Jones, rate-collector. The Stipendiary: There is a direct conflict of evidence. I shall reserve the question ( f costs until I hear the case.
ILeeds Execution.
I Leeds Execution. SEQUEL TO A CARDIFF WOMAN'S MURDER, I Interview with the Husband At Leeds yesterday John Thomas Kay, 52, a labourer, was executed for murdering Jane Hurst at Rotherham. The crime for which Kay was hanged was peculiarly brutal and revolting. His victim was Jane Hurst, a married woman, with whom he had co-habited for four months. Both drank, and there were frequent quarrels. Mrs. Hurst, having been way from Kay for two days, returned to the house late at night. Evidence as to what subs-equently happened came from Kay himself, who at six o'clock the next morning accosted Police-constable Brooks in the street, and said, "I might as well tell you it is murder. I think I have killed the woman I live with—not my wife." On going to the address indicated by Kay the police found the woman Hurst lying on the bed with her head battered in, blood and brains being spread on the pillows and cover- let. Near by lay a blacksmith's "sett" used in the house as a hatchet, and evidently the weapon with which the murder had been committed. The woman was just alive when discovered, but died without making any statement. Kay throughout maintained a sullen indifference, but at the trial he raised a defence of impulsive insanity. In the witness-box he said he had first tried to hang himself, but on the night preceding the murder he went to bed, and then got up again, "as if in my sleep, as if a voice was urging me and telling me to kill her. I crept downstairs for the hatchet, came back, and struck her three or four blows. When I had done it, it wae as if the scales fell from my eyes. Before I heard those voices I had formed no intention of killing Mrs. Hurst. I was very much attached to her." WOMAN'S HUSBAND INTERVIEWED. I Mrs. Hurst's widower is a labourer em- ployed by the Cardiff Corporation, and is now living at Canton. With his wife he lived at Sheffield, where he worked at his trade of a file-cutter, but in his youth, before marriage, he spent some yean in Cardiff, and the na-me of Thomas Hurst is still remembered locally as that of a well- known runner on the racing track. One of our reporters called upon him on Tuesday night, and found him a very respectable-looking man, of pleasant speech and manners. I should like to contradict," he said, the state- ment which has been made that my wife was Kay's paramour for years. They only met last Christmas, and I left her only in the September before." "What made you leave her?" Well, when she was in her right senses she was one of the best of women. Nobody could help liking her, but latterly she was not responsible for what she did. She drank a lot, and, in fact, she was stark, staring mad. I put her away two or three times. We abso- lutely could not live with her, or we should have had no home at all. She would take anything she could get hold of and pawn it for drink. But no one feels what has happened more than I do. It's hard lines, isn't it, when a man's been married to a woman for 26 years, and then she turns out a wrong 'un. Still, I'm very glad to think my troubles with her are over. She's best where she is, and so ia he. Kay was no good." "Do you know much about him?" "No, not much. He wae a Sheffield man. I've heard that he came from very nice people, and when he was young had a lot of money left him—did it in. No, he was no good, and that's true." "But," he added regretfully, "it was all her fault at the beginning, for she had a good home with me." She really wasn't responsible for her actions," one of Mrs. Hurst's sons declared, and twice we had to put her away at Wadsley Asylum—the first time about six years ago, and the second about three years ago. She often left home, because she used to pawn our things and furniture for drink, and was afraid of being found out. Father brought her back several times for the sake of his children, but last September she left for good, and lived with her sister. Then we broke up the home and came to Cardiff. After- wards we heard she was living with this man in Rotherham, and was pawning his furniture in the same way.

SIR ALFRED JONES AND THE WEST I INDIAN TRADE Sir Alfred Jones, replying to criticisms regarding the West India contract between the Government and Elder, Dempster, and Co., under which they received £ 40,000 annual subsidy, said that his firm were doing more than they had bargained for in the way of fostering trade, and were losing money on the contract. They had built, large hotels in Jamaica, beeidea running a regular steamship service, but. their trade was growing so rapidly that it was difficult to keep pace with it.

STARTLING CHARGESI
STARTLING CHARGESI In a Swansea Valley Law Case SCHOOL GIRL'S REMARKABLE kNOWLEDGE OF LAW A remarkable action for detinue from the Swansea Valley (Saunders v. Bees v. Swash) in which allegations of perjury and forgery was scattered broadcast, wae resumed at the Swansea Assiros i yesterday. The defence has brought, a long string of witnesses to support the suggestion that plaintiff could not have had money to enable her to lend the £ 1,000 alleged to defendants, while plaintiff's own son and other witnesses spoke to her having got defendant's son Edgar to make out a fraudulent bill of sale to her of Rees's colliery, with the object of defeating an action in the Llandilo County-court, and that with this Rees's son Edgar, at the plain- tiff's direction, forged his father's name. Closely questioned as to his knowledge of the consequences, Rowland Rees, who wit- nessed it, said that plaintiff was their aunt and their senior, and they obeyed her. Another witness who spoke to this transac- tion was Rowland Rees's wife, who inciden- tally described how the colliery was worked. It was really a drift, and those engaged there were Edgar Rees, Rowland Rees, their mother, and herself. While the men cut the coal the Woman Worked the Engine I and screened the coal, weighed it, and kept the accounts. They worked from hand to mouth, excha-nging the coal they worked for provisions. An interesting witness was Florence Mary Roes, a girl of sixteen, who showed such a remarkable familiarity with legal formula and documents that the judge elicited from her that she studied law as a hobby, had a law library, attended police-courts, because that was her delight, and hoped eventually to turn the knowledge she thus acquired to good account by becoming a lady lawyer. Laura. Swash, one of the defendants, was _11_.3 Ct1- .3 '1 L.1- uwu cinieu. oue tsaiu sue osu iour cmiuren. In June, 1895, she quarrelled with Rees because he would not make over anything to bring up the two little children, and went to live at Brynamman with her son Edgar. Sub- sequently she was induced to go back to Rees, and he then handed her in 1895 three leases for the education of the children. In November last the colliery lease was also given her, as reparation for loss of charac- ter, as Rees, she said, had ruined her. She bore out the evidence already given as to the alleged fraudulent bill of sale, and also as to the withdrawal of the present action. The Judge asked witness what she did at the colliery, and she replied that she went underground, helped fill the trams with coal, put fire in the engine, filled the boilers, and drove the engine. She worked very hard, and did not have much time for pleasure. She was anxious to save the colliery when the plaintiff took the fraudulent document to the pit, and was afraid her sieter would get into gaol, and her son and she offered to raise a loan on the securities that had been given her. Plaintiff had never lent Rees £ 1,000. She never lent him a penny. Indeed, she never had any money, but had always been in poverty. In cross-examination, witness was preseed as to whether she had ever had the deeds she alleged Rees had given her, but she would only reply, They are in the house," "I decline to answer," and "I am'prepared to bring them here." The Judge: I am afraid I shall have to draw my own conclusions. I can only draw lone conclusion, and that is that you are not telling the truth. Edgar Rees, a son of the defendant Rees, was called by Mr. S. T. Evans, who intimated to the judge that in order that the witness might not incriminate himself, he would ask him in examination-in-chief no question as to his alleged forgery of his father's signa- ture. Mr. Abel Thomas was about to cross- examine him, when his lordship warned the witness that he need not answer any ques- tion if the answer were likely to cause him to incriminate himself. Mr. Abel Thomas put the question as to the putting of the defendant Rees's signature to the bill of sale, and asked: Did you sign it? The witness did not answer. Mr. Thomas: Did you sign it?—I imitated W. B. Rees's signature at her (the plaintiff's) instructions. The last witness called was William Burchell Rees, the defendant, who described the pit, which was a slant rented at zElO a year, and only sufficiently large to give employment to his own family. He also described the plaintiff's going to live with him in 1875, on the death of her father, saying she aeked him to take her in, and he did so, and gave her employment at the shoemaking. He denied that she ever had any money, and was certainly unable to lend him £ 1,000. He remembered her well leaving him in 18%, after being with him 21 years. A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. He remembered it too well, as she went away without saying a word, and the police accused him of murdering her, and his house was searched. She made no claim on him for money, and from 1896 to 1900 he heard not a word from her. In December, 1%0, her son, Charles Henry Swash, told him to come to his house at Brynamman, and he saw plaintiff there. She requested that the treacherous document, as she called it, be returned to her. She went back to South Shields, and never made any demand for money. The first demand was on the 8th of March through her solicitors. He denied ever having given her a mortgage to secure £ 1,000. Refer- ring to the forged document, he said that in 1895 he was in such low water that he was in arrear with rent, and was sued at Llandilo County-court. He noticed on the engine- door the remains of a paper, and asked what it was. When he heard he was about to strike his son, when plaintiff came forward and asked Mm not to do so, as she had aided for the beet to gain time to find the money. He told her the document was a bad one. At that time Laura Swaah had left him, and the reconciliation took place on his handing the deeds in question to her. Then the action came on, and at his request Laura Swash accompanied him with the deeds to Messrs. Jenkins's office at Swansea, and the result was a loan of X50 on them. With this money they were able to settle the action, and plaintiff signed a with. drawal of the interpleader action she had entered. Subsequently he redeemed the deeds. In cross-examination, he said he had had a good many cases in the couree of his life. He had studied law, and had got, together a decent law library, adding one was bound to have Woodfall's Landlord and Tenant if one had houses. Mr. Evans: If you Btudy law books you deserve to have cases. (Laughter.) The cross-examination was not concluded when the court adjourned till to-day (Wed- nesday). This is the only case remaining for trial.
STUCK ON THE BANK I
STUCK ON THE BANK I Penarth Hungry Brigade's Plight I The "dinner train" from Cardiff to Pen- artfh to-day stuck on the slope lea,ding from Cogan to the "eaid seaside suburb." After some moments' delay an engine from Pen- arth. Dock was put on at the rear, and assisted to propel the hungry crowd towards their dining-rooms. The delay called for extra smartness in assimilation on the part of those who returned by the 1.50 er-Penarth, while the two-teners had none too much time. Formerly the Penart.h trains pretty fre- quently did the sticking trick on this bank, but latterly they have been better behaved. If the -branch is about to enter upon a period of frequent stoppages, the patrons of the line wall hope tha.t the experience is reserved for trains other than those in the dining hour.

The 200 went up when the innings had been going three houra and three-quarters.

Bain oommenoed to fall steadily in Leeds at seven j o'clock this morning, and there had been no cessation of the downpour at noon. There was no prospect of cricket being possible at Headingley for some hours. Emm, wkh six wickets down, need 50 runs to ewape t •a fcojprt Ogr«»t, It tLo over early this morning, and the Yorkshire players be thus enabled to catch an afternoon train for Brighton, where they play Sussex to-morrow, but the rainfall has upset this calculation. It was stated at noon that it has been arranged to take luncheon at 1.30, and then come to a decision 86 to the abandonment of the match or otherwise. Rain was still falling heavily when this messsage was despatched, and there was no likelihood of an early stoppage. At 1.15 it was decided to abandon tho match.

Lewis, stipendiary) at Cardiff Police-court this afternoon for receiving and settling bet*. Mr. O. Treharne Morgan (from the town- clerk's office) appeared for the prosecutioa. Mr. Earold Lloyd defended. Police-cons table Edgar Dis deposed to seeing seven men approach defendant and hand him something wrapped in paper, which appeared to be money. In some cases the men consulted papers and afterwards wrote on a slip of paper and then handed defendant what appeared to be money, Defendant looked at what was given to him. and in most instances made an entry in his book. Four other men also went up to him and spoke to him. The Stipendiary: Why do you say "what appeared to be money"? It might have been a tip for the next race. Witness: It might have been. The Stipendiary: You state the facts. t will draw the inference. In answer to Mr. Lloyd, witness was sure he had not mistaken defendant for another man. The Stipendiary (to defendant): Do you know what horse won the Derby?—I cannot remember. Do you take any interest in ra-cs« ?—Some- times I have a shilling on. Do you have anything on the Gold Cup at A,scot ?-I don't know one race from another. I don't know the dates. Have you a "Ruff's Guide"?—I have no guide at all. Fined £ 5 and costs for each of two offenwoo or one month.
