The names of the Russian battleship reported to have been sunk and the others said to have been damaged in the' recent fighting at Port Arthur are still unknown here, Admiral Togo's detailed account only mentioning the types of the vessels. There Is much speculation regarding the object of the Russians in 'making the sortie in view of the apparent con fusion which followed their exit from the. harbor. According to one report It seems that they miscalculated the tides and were genuinely surprised when they discovered their inability to re turn, which they had calculated upon doing with comparative ease in case of need. It Is believed that the flood tide on which they sailed out rose sixteen feet, but when they tried to return in the evening the tide did not rise very high and anchoring in the outer road stead was unavoidable, as it was prac tically impossible to enter until high water the following morning. It Is re ported that the Japanese scouts have 'discovered that the Russians have con structed at Tuchengtse, a few miles from Port Arthur, defensive works on a larger scale than those at Nanshan Hill. The situation London, June 22.-As on previous oc casions when there has been stirring news, the latest naval fight Is followed by .a dearth of information.; Nothing can bo added to yesterday's reports concerning Port Arthur. General Sak harofTs wordy dispatch seems to show that the Japanese right wing was ad vancing Saturdays and Sunday parallel with , the main road from Feng "Wang Cheng to Llao Tangr while the. army from Siuyen is concurrently pushing its advance guard towards Haldheng. No movements are reported from the Jap anese side. Motu Pass, mentioned by General Sakharoff, is . presumably Mo tienllng Pass, , According to a dispatch from Shanghai, Field " Marshal Oyam'a, lately appointed commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces, and General Ko dema, his chief of staff, will leave; To kio for Manchuria on July 6th.

Combination Predicted to Defeat J ydge Parker Ex-Congressman ShafFroth Doubts If New York Ju ristWill Be Nominated Unless He Wins on the First Ballot ' Washington, June 27. Special. "I doubt If Judge Parker willbe nomina ted unless he wins on the first ballot said former Congressman Shaff roth of Colorado today. "I am Inclined to be lieve that a combination will be made which will defeat him. r nevertheless think he would make a strong candidate and be elected. With any good man we ought to be able to win this year. Colorado will cast its electoral vote for the Democratic ticket. While the mon ey question is not a direct issue I do not believe that the Chicago and Kan sas City platform ought to-be ignored at St. Louis." ,. Speaking of the platform adopted by the Republican party at Chicago Mr. Shaffroth said: "It's best, friends can hardly call .it a strong platform. It is simply a claim for credit for everything that has been of benefit to the country and a dis claimer of everything that;hag not been good. The ' Philippines plank la the poorest excuse for outlining- a policy ever put into print. There is. no poli cy at all. J "The plank which deals, with the al leged disfranchisement of a class of voters in some of the southern states and proposes to reduce the re presentation of those in 'the congress is but a bid for the negro and the radi cal vote. The United States Supreme court seems to have upheld the consti tutionality of these so-called disfran chisement laws whenever they have been brought before the tribunal, so on what theory can the Republicans cut down the representation? There is nothing In law on which they could base such action." If there ever was any doubt as to who. would manage the Republican campaign, Chairman Cortelyou to the contrary notwithstanding, "it is dis pelled by the following in an admini stration paper: "Mr. Cortelyou will be in close con nection with the president, in as much as he will have headquarters in New York, from which in less than an hour he can reach Oyster Bay, or he can talk with the president by long distance telephone on any matter thatdoes not demand personal conferences."'

J., June 27. Levi i?. Han num, the American agent of Ion Per dlcaris, rtceived a cablegram announ cing the. departure of Mr, Perdicaris from Tangiers today. He Intends to spend the summer in Europe and will visit some of the noted baths on the continent. Mr. Hannum has not been advised as to the future plans of Mr. Perdicaris. In speaking of the depar ture of . Mr. Perdicaris, Mr. i . Hannum said it had been planned before the Raisull incident that Mr. Perdicaris would have Jeft Tangiers before the time of capture, had it not been that he was awaiting the return ot Miss Gum mere, sister pf the American consul, to whom he wished to bid good bye before her departure, for this country. Since the return, of Mr.- Perdicaris from the hands of. the bandit Raisull, a somewhat sensational, but apparently entirely unfounded report has been cur rent here that Mr. Perdicaris is not af ter all a citizen of this country. The rest of the report waa that at the time of the civil war he had declared himself a citizen of Greece to sava from conns-. cation his large property Interests in the south. If there was any basis for this story it probably arose from the confusion of Mr. Perdicaris with his , " ' . : . - - ---- -- f - i - - 1- ' ; . - r . I M ' ..thai ever vSS.

Perdicaris, who was a Greek by birth, and who it is a mat ter of common report here, did re nounce his American citizenship to save his property. In speaking of the report today Mr. Hannum said it was abso lutely without foundation as applied tQ the son and he felt equally certain that the same could be said of the father. Continuing, Mr. Hannum said that the elder Perdicaris, a Greek by birth, but a political exile from his own coun try, married a South Carolina-lady, Miss Hanford, he being then a natur alized American citizen. Ion Perdi caris - was born at the American Em bassy at Athens, his father at that time being the American minister at Greece. This fact alone, Mr. Hannum regarded as conclusive evidence of the citizenship of the father, and naturally that of the son at the time of his death. As fur ther showing the fallacy of the report that the son had renounced his citizen ship, Mr. Hannum remarked that his father was living at the time of the civil war, the son at that time having but small property interests, none of which were located in the south. -. Wasington, June 2?.--Secretary 'Hay today received the following "cablegram from Tangier, dated June 27: "Profoundly grateful to - the governri ment for securing my release. j - ... Perdicaris." The Tangier report to the effect that the British minister and the American counsel general at Tangier had united in demand upon the Sultan for the punishment of Raisull Is supposed by the state department to be based upon the " Perdicaris alive or Raisull dead," dispatch sent before Perdacarls was released. It is department that there is no disposition to make further demands upon the Moorish government. American Leafgue JU Detroit: R.H.E.
