A Demonstration from Vladivostok. VINDICTIVE TREATMENT OF A FAILING SHIP.
Tokio, 6th May.
It is reported that four Russian vessels from Vladivostok, apparently torpedo-hoals, at noon yesterday, off Hokkaido, fired on a sailing vessel, which was set on fire. The Russians steered northwards in the afternoon. Five sailors were rescued.
Three of the torped boats seen off Hokkaido were 100 feet long and one 130 feet; they were
allwn-funnelled.
The Russians onderail the crew off the sail ing vessel, poured kerosene uvęs it, shelled it, and ret it twice on fire. They then made off to the northward, detaining the master of the
desitoyed ship. Ten other members of the crew were landed.
It is stated as probable that the Russian warships sailed out from Vladivostok simul- taneously with the torpedo-boats.
It has transpired that the sailing wessell was the third Panels Main, of 198 tons. The trew are safe.

But about four o'clock this morning, the unmistakeable roar of cannon was beard, apparently not many miles from Hangkong. Of course it may be argued that thunder has much the same sound as that of a big gun fired some miles off, but in these days of Baltic Fleets which refuse to leave the hospitable shores of Hainan and Annam, and Togo squadrons which never appear, and are only heard of as fitting phantoms of the night, to say nothing of mysterious movements in the British Beet and a lively imagination over all, no one will for a moment accept such a tame solution of the story. It was a gun, fired by awar-vessel; if we could only believe that it was the belligerents in action the tale, could be made quita diamatic, but that would be stretching the long bow just a triffe too far.
