If the enemy retained the superiority ahicii existed before the ships pt destroyed tbirc would have been little chance of a successful sortie. Now the authorities arc hopeful that in ca-the squadron must go out the chance in the conflict will be more even. Tin will be the case if the repairs to the Retvizan and Czarevitch arq finished in time. The crippling of Togo's fleet will, it Is though i, more titan ever drier the Japanese commander from dividing his fleet as he must retain his hcati eri ships off Port Arthur.

The loss of at. least two Japanese warships is officially confirmed. A message' dated Port Arthur, received by carrier pigeon at Mukden was transmitted to the emperor early yesterday morning, saying that two Japanese warships had been lost off that port. The message followed the emperor to Koursk, and no one here knew of its contents until late last night. Early In the afternoon reports of the sinking of the Ehikashlma and the Fuji on the authority of Russian refugees from Dalny began to circulate and aroused tbe most intense excitement. It is an offering to Russia upon the day of ascension and the emperor's birthday, and It is n sign that Dod is with us, waa the remark frequently heard, if a stranger entered the city tonight he would find it decorated with flags and bunting and illuminating devices as though in glorification of a victory, but this is not really so, as the decorations are in celebration of ihe emperor's birthday. In naval circles the Japanese catastrophe is a matter of rejoicing, thftugh regrets are expressed that so many brave men have lost their lives, just aa Japan voiced her sorrow to the world when brave went down with the Feiropavlovsk. Hut this feeling eff sympathy ia swallowed up in the greater ihanka-givinit is pointed. out lhal the Hatsuee was one of Japan's finest and that the kma of two and possibly four warships' at intervals of a few days cannot fail to deeply affect Japan and to influence tbe course of the campaign. The general staff tonight la without direct news of the linking of the and the Fuji but there is an impression thal it. may be true. The reports at any rate bare Infused fresh life and enthusiasm in official circles where it is believed (hat tbe tide is turned. No surprise is exOTessed by the admfrallty at the Japanese vessels striking Russian mines, the admiralty expecting such a mishap to aince the Togo particularly naval commander at Port A'rthur has fully duplicated the plan which resulted in the sinking of the Petropav-lovsWherever off Port Arthur tbe Japanese squadron appeared that same night Russian torpedo boats stole out and carefully planted contact mlnea which, below the. surface, would not be touched by the destroyers, but ships of heavier draught cruising in the mine fields would be sure to strike them. The favorite point selected by the Japanese for bombarding ia Liao Tit-ha- n promontory and the water there has been thickly strewn with Russian Other points beside Liao mines. Tehan hare also been mined and it has become dangerous for the Japanese ships to cruise in (hose waters. The effect of the disaster will be to cause Admiral Togo to be more cautious for he must save his squadron for the contest for the supremacy of the aea with the Baltic fleet when it arrives in the Pacific. The loss of the ship irrespective of other casualties which may have occurred ia of the most Importance, according to the general staff, it is pointed to the Associated Press that it tends to restore tbe equilibrium afloat. Despite the number of casualties in Ihe Russian fleet, it has really lost only one battleship, the Petropavlovsk. It is true that tbe Retvizan and the Cxarevitrh were torpedoed at the beginning of the war, but both were afely towed Into Port Arthur. The damage they sustained waa serious, particularly to the Czarevitch, hut repairs have been pending since then ami the officials state that the Retvizan is ready to resume her place in the lighiing line. The Czarevitch la still undergoing repairs, and it will be some time before she can pul to aca. Prior to the isolation of Port Arthur several thousand shipwrights arrived in the city and they have since been rushing the work of repairing the ships. The later movements reported to the general staff tend lo decidedly befoa tbe authorities as to the real position of the enemy. It is now generally agreed that Mm mission of the second Japanese army is not merely the investment nf Port Arthur but its capture. The Japanese must appreciate, now that the fleet has been weakened that the appearance of the Baltic fleet wnl make Russia Immensely superior afloat unless the Port Arthur squadron be destroyed. ' If the Japanese are to be successful in the war they must retain command of the sea however great the cost.

Honolulu, Mey 19. The United Rtatee cruiser Tacoma la about to start from here for San Francisco by a round-alioroute. She will go first to a location between here and Panama in search of an unknown island, which baa been reported many times. J. D. Hague, of New York, is oa board the Tacoma and will conduct the soundings. He aaya be believes it probable that the warship Levant, which disappeared after leaving Hilo in I860, waa wrecked on thia Island. He hopes to find traces of this vet-el- , and thinks it possible that there may still be some of her survivors on the island. This view waa presented by Mr. Hague to Acretary of the Navy Moody and he finally induced Mr. Moody to order the Tacoma to go in search of the island. Mr. Hague avers that there is strong evidence of tbs existence of the island and he thinks it protiably is habitable, as was reported by Qaptaln John Degreaves in 1869. There are also circumstantial Indications that flic Ivant. was wrecked there and that she did not founder at sea. Mr. Hague haa been conducting investigations here. He has found a spar which drifted to Hawaii in D1. and aaya he believes it belonged to the Levant. ut g. Washington. May 19.
