General Kuropatkln confirmed the findings of the court; but, taking into consideration the fact that the accused were soldiers, he ordered that they should be shot Instead of hanged. All doubt as to the cause of the destruction of the battleship Petropavlovsk and the damage to the battleship Poiy#da at Port Arthur Is dissipated by the official report submitted by telegraph to the emperor. In it Viceroy Alexeleff stated in a way that leaves the matter no longer au open question that mines were responsible for the disaster. The admission of the presence of Japanese ships off Port Arthur on the night preceding the going out of the Russian ships, which were watched by Admiral Makaroff, tends to establish Vice Admiwtl Togo's cl*lm that bis ships laid mines on which the Russian battleships struck. The viceroy's report was sent only after a thorough investigation, ordered by his majesty, had been made. It was published thin morning through the war commission. It explicitly states that "under the starboard side of the Petropavlovsk there was an explosion" and specifically declares that a mine exploded under the Pobieda. That the Russian ships did not run on to their own mines is shown by the failure of the viceroy to mention anything of the kind and by the positive statement of the port admiralty that Admiral Makaroff was familiar with the location of the torpedoes defending the port The Russian officials also fail to understand the surprising blunder caused by the mistake of the Russian torpedo boat destroyers.
