A Spectator's Curious Story. An Italian who was a spectator of a part
of the attack on the Russian flect at Port Arthur has arrived here, says the Shanghai Mercury. He states that the Japanese ships were to all appearance remarkably quiet and steady. He had no idea that any extraordinary effort was being made on either side, or that anything sensational was happening, and it was not till be reached Chefoo and heard the news of Admiral Makaroff's death and the sinking. of the Petropavlors that he knew the significance of what he he had seen.
He did not see the Petropavloval: go down and (did not know of it, though he knew the Russiane, had sustained a reverse. What chiefly impressed him was the calor manner in which the Japanese ships moved up to their stations, fired a few shots and retired again, ns though practising at target. He does not think the Japanese themsolves knew how much injury they had done.
&
Makaroff's Death and Japan, As we (the Kobe Chronicle) have con sistently deprecated the demonstrations-- which have been made in Japan on some previous occasions when victories have beon reported, it is only just that we should call attention to the admirable behaviour of the Japanese nation in face of the disaster which has befallen the Russian forces by the drowning of Admiral Makaroff in the destruction of the Petroparlorsk-an event which there seems no longer any reason to doubt was due to the explosion of a Japanese submarine mine. When it is considered that the destruction of the Russian flag-ship is an even more conspicuous success than the toř pedoing of the Russian vessels in the first attack on Port Arthur, in that no excuse could be made that the Russians were taken unawares, the restraint shown by the Japanese in refraining from exulta- tion 'deserves to be placed on record. More. over, the chivalry displayed has not only been passive but active. At Port Arthur by order of Admiral Togo the Japanese fleet hoisted its flag balf-mast as a mark of respect for the loss of a gallant for.. In Tokyo, Count Okuma, speaking at a dinner. held just after the news had arrived, paid a generous tribute to the memory of the dead man. And the principal newspapers unite in similarly expressing regre that the fortune of war should have resulted in the death of the enemy's Daval commandor-in-chief. Hero in Kobe, where there have been many lantern pro- cessions on previous occasions, there has only been one to c.lebrate the last great victory at Port Arthur, and that seems to have been a little advertisement scheme on the part of a local tailor. There can there- fore be little doubt that the feelings of te gret expressed so universally at the death of this Russian oflicer are genuine and sincore, and we put the incident on record as form" ing an indirect reply to not a little criticism of Japanese characteristic and prophecy re- garding the Japanese in which certain writers in Europe indulged when the war began.
Master Coolie.'
Speaking in the House of Cominons on
the immigration of coolies into South Afric the 24th ult., Dr Hutchinson referred to
He said he had some small claim to speak
the only member of the House who had on this subject, because he was, perhaps,
medical charge of Chinese coolies. At one time in his wild career (laughter) ho had medical charge of a large steamship, and they took on board at Penang a lot of Chi nese coolies for Hongkong. Having been brought into personal contact with China- men, he had nothing but good to say of 313 them. He wished, however, to contradict a statement that had been made in regard to the strength of the lungs of thos
of those coolies (laughter). It

"THE FRONT* AT CHEFOO.
A Truthful Correspondent. The Special War Correspondent of the Shanghai Mercury wrote on the 14th ipat. :-
Notwithstanding our close proximity to the seat of war our news of military events is ineagre indeed, so close is the censorship on both sides especially on that of the Japanese, Now that the shipping at New- chwang has been stopped, and the Pilot boats and leading marks for the bar re-j moved, our sources of information-the Captains and officera of the coasting steam- ers-aro 'eliminated, and we must needs rest contented with the official reports of the Consuls, un pusatisfactory state of affairs for the energetic War Correspond. unt! And as the war progresses I do not believe a bottor state of things will exist. Strict censorship appears to be the order of the Military Commandants, nor do I blame them. The British Army in Natal suffered from the leakage of general orders which wore quickly cabled home, atul as quickly sent back to the Boer Generals by their agents in Europe through Portuguese territory.
By a sort of rulo of thumb calculation, we believe that the Japanese Army in Korea is strong enough to advance on the Yalu now? But will they do so? It may

That the Japanese will attempt to land their forces at Newchwang 1 consider high- ly improbable, that is ne long as the Rus sians defend that place. Being unable, owing to the paucity of water, to cover such a landing by the guns of their fleet the un dertaking would be ħazarding in the ev

CHINESE NAVAL SCHOOL.
As I write the German Admiral whose flag is on the Furst Bismarck has just come into port accompanied by torpedo boat $ 90, and is exchanging salutes with Admiral Sah, whose flag is on the Hui- Chi. Two Austrian cruisers are also in pori.
Apropos of Admiral Sah, I may mention that he has established the long projected Gunnery and Naval School at the East Fort. This establishment has started well and the Cadels, and budding Jack Tara have the advantage of being under the tuition of Commander Sheb, Lieutenaut 1.U.N. for navigation and seamanship, while the gunnery department is under the expert control of Mr Bassett (late Royal Navy) LO.N., who has been detached, together with the Chinese officers from I.C.N.S. Hai Chi for this purpose. The youths who come from various provinces are first of all grounded in the English language together with the usual course digested by our own Cadets. The build- ings appropriated for this School are kept in apple-pio order, and a visit to the establishment will well repay the walk along the beach to the Fort,
