Today it is said another horror has been added to tbe terrible conditions resulting from the disaster through the over-officiusness of some person at the morgue. As a result some of the bodies probably never w ill be identified and w ill go to a last resting place in the humble p let furnished by the c ity ’ s eharity. When the bodiee were taken by hundreds from tbe water and laid in lows on the grass at North Brother island, each was tagged with a num­ ber, That number was carefnlly re­ corded, and: the papers, valuables and trinkets which would have served to possibly identify the bodies were re­ moved and placed in separate packages, each package, bearing a number corres­ ponding to the number on the body from which the articles were taken. When the bodies were taken to the morgue they were placed in numbered boxes, but i n . many cases these num­ bers did not correspond w ith the fig­ ures the bodies previous had borne. As a result, t t t plans were completely upset and the numbered packages of valuables became practically worthless as a means of identification. r** " 11 .... WOULD SEAL FATE OF RUSSIANS. yea Is Cassias Great Alarm. St. Petersburg, June 20.— The popu­ lar disappointment felt i a St. Peters­ burg over the result o f Lieutenant Gen era! Baron Stakelberg’ s fight, Which it had been hope for the past 36 honrs might turn ont to be a victory, is temp­ ered somewhat bjr tike knowledge that the Russian force was' overwhelmed by numbers. General Stake!berg does not attempt to conceal the seriousness of his losses, but his report and, ths re­ ports from all other Russian sources agree that tbe retreat was in no sense a root. The fierce character of ths fight ia made evident by the fact that the Russians were again forced to abandon their guns, thus indicating, as in pre­ vious encounters, ths superiority of the Japanese artillery. The Russian official reports of the losses are awaited with tbe keenest in­ terest. The war office decline* to ac­ cept the Japanese figures unreservedly, although the officials frankly admit that they believe the Russian casual­ ties were severe. The keenest interest ia now manifest­ ed in the reported advance of two Jap­ anese divisions from Siuyen with the intention of taking General Btakelberg in the rear. It is realised that if this report should prove true the Russian commander may be unable to extricate himself, and if he ahonld be cat off from General Kuropatkin’ a main army the fate of the detachment would be sealed. ____________ v ^Thn - nusgber q ! vessels in the Port SkrydlofTs Sqaadroa’s Work Appreci- R tlY R Ala 9X* r R M T R D lirj• Arthur harbor at present is '15, inclnd- - ing merchantmen and warships.

Com loskm Makes the Dollar of tbe . . t United States tbe Standard. Washington, June 21.— Ih e . com­ mission charged with the preparation of a currency system for Panama today reached an agreement, which estab­ lishes a coin equivalent in fineness and weight to the dollar of the United States as the standard, and which also makes the United States dollar legal tender in Panama. Under the terms o f the agreement, the Panama government w ill recoin or convert the Colombian silver into coins of the use of a silver dollar. The amount of this silver in Psnama is now estimated a t $1,600,006. : A t the request ef Secretary Taft, it was Agreed to coin more silver until a total of $6,000,000 is reached. In or­ der to retain a parity with gold, there w ill be deposited in some reputable bank in N ew York 16 per cent of the amount coined, and, in addition, there w ill be deposited ail the seignorage which Panama w ill make in the coin­ age to meet the American government’ s lequirements. The agreement provides for s joint arrangement between the government of Panama and the renal commission, under which, by selling drafts snd drawing on the funds ex­ change can be kept down to a reason able figure, not above 2 per cent and thus avoid large fluctuations of the rate. UNABLE TO BLOCK HARBOR. Desperate At- at Fort Afther Liao Tang, June 21.'— According to trustworthy news from Port Arthur, the Japanese, before June 14, made a fourth unsuccessful attempt to block the entrance to the harbor, using fonr fire abipa, two of which were immedi­ ately sunk by shots from the batteries, the other two withdrawing. Tbe Rus­ sian fleet, according to these advices, is intact, and tbe spirits of the garrison and inhabitants are excellent. The soldiers are eager to fight and are confident of the impossibility of the taking of Port Arthur by the Jap­ anese. Most of the inhabitants have enlisted in the volunteers and 600 women have offered their servbee. Perfect order is maintained and trade and industry are carried on as usual. Provisions áre plentiful, there being a sufficient supply to last six months on full rations snd s year at reduced rations. The Japanese outposts are 18 miles from Port Arthur. ^ Forces Now More Fven. Liao Yang, June 21.— The retirement of the Russians before s superior force from Vafancow and the advance of the Japaneee east and north makes im m i­ nent a still more important engagement in the southern region. The Japaneee have now arrived at a point where the forcea are more eqnal, and where they mast fight on more even terms. The loos of 2,000 men by the Russian divis ions at Vafangow shows the courage and ability of the officers and troopa to retain their position andar a percent­ age of loos almost unprecedented. of thousands of -persons, the m a j^ ity of whom were powerless to minimise the extant of the catastrophé.
