St. Petersburg, April I5 In formation which has slowly reach ed St. Petersburg has modihVd o pinion at first prevailing concern ing the original cause of thede; struction "of the Pttropaviovek There ia gradually developing a dis position to admit the possibility that after all Japanese torpedo boa's may have dropped minfs nt the en trance to Port Arthur harbor. An official remarked to tbe Associated Pres3 tonight: "It would be far better if. the ship was actually blown ' up by the enemy's mine ir.st?ad of by a Rus sian. The latter would be the re sult of inexcusable carelessness and wot 1J properly arouse the empe rorv anger. The former while it woi:l 1 speak volumes of Japanese era liaess, could not really be a voii'd. " ' Ua dark nighte, it would" be al most impossible for the searchlights of 1 he batteries to pick up torpedo be a s, however carefully the light? were manipulated." Even if it should finally be estab lished that a Japanese mine de stroyed the Pctropavlovsk, it will not effect the general appreciation of Vice-Admiral Miikaroff's high qualities. HispQiicy baa been thor oughly approved in St. Petersburg, where it is understood that such action would hiave n excellent ef fect on the morals ol" the Russian fleet. ' As the adrnkl's instructions were to conserve his ffcet, it was pointed out that it was his duty to return directly to the harbor on the appearance ol a superior force. It could hardly be expected that the admiral would lok out for mines when he had no reason to believe that they had teen laid, especially aa only a tew hours before he bad safely steamed over the spot where the battle ship was sunk. St. Petersburg, April 15. A tele gram from Admiral Alexieff from Pott Arthur to the Emperor says that from 9:15 o'clock this morning to midday the Japanese flett,in two divisions, bombarded the fortresses and the town alternately from the Liao Tshan promontory, firing 185 projectiles. , The Russian squadron including the battle ship Pobieda, replied from the anchorage by a plunging fire. The batteries also participated. The losses on land were seven Chinese killed and five soldiers and three Chinese wounded. - - -."'". The Russian warships sustained no damage and there was no loss of life on them. . , . ' This attack is taken-here to show that Admiral Togo hai not . given up his purpose of damaging the rest ot the Russian' ships, now that there is little possibility of their a- gain going to sea. . Uc questionably ve is aware of the effect of his pre tious bombardment, and the fact that be has repeated it indicates t i the officers here that - be believes mere is a good cnance ot a projec tile hitting a target. 'In order to drop a Bhell into the harbor or city a bigb-a gie tore is necessary. This is the reason the Japanese squad ron tot k up a portion at Hao lsban. Other bombaraments were from tbe same point, which, at the time, did cot seem to be within the range of tbe ttuseian batteries. ..; It is net known whetVj the new guns- which have been installed at Port Arthur command this point, bat it is certain that Togo's ships escaped without material damage. The abandonment of Vice-Admiral Makarofi'a policy of taking the fleet to tbe outer roads to return the Japanese fire is shown in the report of Viceroy Alezuff that 'his ships bred over the hills. Wei Hai Wei, April 16. By De Forrest Wireless Telegraph from steamer Haimun, off Core an Coast. We have received official confirm ation of the torpedo attack on Wed nesday morning last, which result ed in sinking the Russian warship Pctropavlovsk and ene destroyer.

My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and kings were raw and sore. ; The doctors pro nounced it Bright 's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de- sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. " I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer- . ing if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom from . pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to b3 well. You do not need to be a" weak, "helpless sufferer." You can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life.
