Toxxo, Jan. 11.-Commander Enaka, ofthe Japanese naval staff detailed to examine the Russian wurships at Port Arthur, reports on thc condition of the unprotected cruisers Djldijid, Rnzboynair and Zablaka, hitherto unaccounted for. The Djidijid _is at the mouth of s small inlet east of the torpedo storehouse and ' inside the west harbor. Her three masts are above water. Evidently she was sunk after the capture arms Mem-` Hin. 'rm Razboynak is sunk in the channel near the lighthouse at the entrance of the harbor. It is believed the Russians sank her. The Zabiaka is sunk ln t1\e_wcst harbor about_3D0 yards southeast-of thc bend of tho Tiger's Tail peninsula. Her masts and funnols are visible. Evidently she was destroyed by shells fired after the Japanese cap- tured Wolf Hill. The torpedo boat destroyers Boevoi, Sllni and ezuyreétchni are- beaohed and des near " torpedo storehouse pier. The torpedo bout deseroyers Storozhevoi and Rezyaschtchi are ten yards west of .that point. The torpedo gunboats Posadnik and Gaidamak were set on fire and sunk nearby.

Seeing me now, you perhaps don't recognize the lanky, decrepit old form in which the papers picture me. “Now let me go back to the question of health. Let me advise you young men to chew your food carefully ami thor- oughly, and above all don’t drink icc water. I never drink anything with my meals, but between meals I drink alot of good pure water and also considerable milk. I take great pains in chewing my food. If I were in a hurry to catch a train and was hungry and wanted to eat a baefsteak I would take the beefsteak with mc and take time in chewing itfon my journey. Follow this yourself, and then avoid'ice water and you will be all right. “I believe in cold baths. I remember that some years ago o. good friend of mine down south was horrified to think that I indulged in them and said they could only result in harm. in recent years, however, I have modi- fied my cold baths somewhat by tak- inga towel, immersing it in cold water containing a little salt and throwing it over my back. `I believe snit and cold water used in this way isa great hlng."

'Ihc number of vessels he has is kept secret, butrdoubtlcss he is ready to do battle with the Russian-Baltic Squadron whenever they appear east of the seventeenth meridian. Vice Admiral Karnimura`s whereabouts is somewhat of n. mystery, the correspon- dent says, but possibly his squadron is in thc China Sea. within easy steaming dis- tance of either thc Malacca or Sunda Straits. But anyway, they declare, if Vice Admiral Rojcstvensky purposes to spend the ensuing weeks in cruising in the vicinity of Madagascar, it is not ini- probabls that he will find himself nsnailed by a torpedo flotills.

In this case it was expected thc whole lstory, which has attracted so much llttcntion, would be told. Interest in the casa was intensified from the ilrst, by the strange and tragic death of Andrew H. Green, one of the city's\ most prominent men, who was shot to death almost at thc door of the Elias woman’s home within a few months before the Platt suit was flied. Green's murderer, ll. negro. who was captured and latcr sent to an insane asylum, said he had shot Mr. Green because hc was jealous of the l||.tter'n attentions to Mrs. Elias. \Vith the filing of the Platt suit the contention of Mr. Grccn's friends that he was a victim of luistakcn identity when the fatal attack was made, was practically proven. Thcrc \val4a.remnrkablc similarity in personal appearance between Andrew Il. Green and John R.
