C o rrespo nd ents Guess at M any Things Beyond T h e ir V ision. London, April 1 8 . — There is as yet no news of a great naval battle in the Far Fast, or of the whereabouts of the rival fleets. The Hongkong corres pondent of the Daily Mail sends a ru mor of a small engagement, but there is no confirmation of this report. Details regarding the Russian ships in Kanrah hay, Cochin China, pre too meagre to he instructive. According to the Daily Mail’s Singapore corres pondent, the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich saw several battleships add six cruisers in the bay, but the dispatches to other newspapers are not so precise. The Daily Tele graph’s Singapore correspondent, like the Associated Press, merely reports “ eighteen vessels,’ ’ and adds that the captain of the Prinz Heinrich states that possibly more warships were in side the harbor, hut that they were in visible from the offing. The presence of the Russian squad ron off the Annam coast ft raising keen interest here, in view ot the possibil ity of their infringing Chinese neutral ity and of the likelihood of Rojestven- sky having had to split his squadron. The Morning Post’s correspondent at Shanghai telegiaphs that China has in structed the governor of the southern provinces to maintain strict neutrality in view of the possibility of Russian ships sheltering there.

AFTER FREE THEATER TICKETS H undreds W e re W aiting at Indianap olis M asonic T e m p le W hen Panic S ta rte d . Indianapolis, Ind., April 18 .— Fren zied by a false alarm of fire, several hundred eager newsboys, struggling to obtain their share of free tickets to a local theater, which were being dis tributed by a traveling representative of a patent medicine company, stam peded in a narrow stairway in the Ma sonic Temple tonight, crushing the life out of four boys and seriously injuiing several others. Long before the time approached for the distribution of the tickets, the stairs of the Masonic Temple, at the southwest corner of Washington street and Capitol avenue, were crowded with a pushing, yelling crowd of newsboys, each anxious to be first to receive his pass. When the distribution began, the excitement became more intense, and the efforts of several policemen who had been detailed to prevent trouble were unavailing. It is alleged that one of the boys, in the endeavor to hasten the exit of those who had received their passes, shouted “ Fire!” Immediately those at the top faced about and almost with super human strength began to force their way to the bottom of the stairs. Shrieks and physical encounters fol lowed for a few seconds, when from some cause those near the top fell head long on the struggling mass at the bot tom. Immediately policemen from the central station, who responded to a riot call, began the work of rescue. Four of the boys were dead when ex tricated from their posit ion at the bot tom of the stairs. Others, believed to have been fatally crushed, were taken out as fast as they could he disen tangled from their frensied compan ions, who fought and clung to each other in desperation. St. Petersburg, April 1 7 .— Quite a sensation was caused this morning by* the appearance in the Neva, the most widely circulated illustrated weekly in Russia, of a half-tone picture represent ing the imperial tamily, including the empress, holding the heir to the throne, the background of the picture showing, in shadowy outlines, the emperor, Grand Duke SergiuB, Grand Duke Alexis, the dowager empress, the heir to the throne and practically all the members of the Romanoff family lying dead in their coffins. The work is done so skillfully that the shadows in the drapery behind the imperial family are discernible with great difficulty. The publishers disclaim any previous know ledge of the shadowy figures. The cul prits, who were students employed on the paper, have not yet bien located. Copies of this edition of the Neva are selling at a big premium.
