Hongkong. April 24. — The Russian Baltic squadron has been attacked by several ships of Admiral Togo's Heel, but the nature of the light Is unknown, nor is it possible to say how serious have been the results. A cable from line. i"20 iniles northeast of Kamranh bay. announces that the Russians were attacked south of the gulf of Tonquin and (hat the battle lasted more than three hours. Hundreds of persons who were promenading KIghth avenue saw the accident. Their shouts of horror attracted the crowd which was walking in Fif» ty-ninth street, and ten minutes after the car had crashed into the automobile the mob surrounding the vehicle was so dense the reserves from the West Forty-seventh street station had great difficulty in making way for tho ambulance from Roosevelt hospital. No raid ever was planned with so much care or developed so many sensational and amusing incidents. The asssuilts 011 the separate houses were cheered by throngs of fashionably attired' men and women, many of whom were visiting Chinatown on the big "sightseeing" automobiles. Several of the ponderous cars were in Pell street when the police made their first dash, and half a dozen women fainted, thinking that, all on the huge coaches had been arrested. Later, when the women had been revived and the truth of the situation became known, the louring parties settled down in Pell and Mott streets and thoroughly enjoyed the unique spectacle.

For the third time within  months the young actress sat in court and heard the story of her life told to a jury, and of the events leading up to the death of Young.

Recorder Goff's court was crowded to the doors long before the actress was called to the bar. Long lines of people streamed into the building and awaited outside the great oak doors. Various and ingenious were the excuses given for permission to hear the opening of the case against the girl, but few availed.

It is believed that from a slight indiscretion in his eating there he suffered an attack of indigestion. Since his return to his home this cjpudn'pn grew steadily worse, with slight rallies, until the end. The gun Are could be plainly heard off Toltron, twenty-five miles southwest of the city of Hue, and began shortly after midnight.

April 24.— Although President Roosevelt and his hunting party had intended to attend church, it was liuaily decided that as I hey had nothing except their bunting togs to wear their clothes would be inharmonious with Easter attire, so they remained in camp resting. Miss Patterson was brought over to the prisoners' pen In the building, shortly after 9 o'clock, where she held a conversation with her father and counsel, who cheered her up for the strain of the day. It was said that the prisoners represent every city and town and hamlet for fifty miles around New York, the police having learned that hundreds had arranged to come here for record breaking gambling on Easter. Some Idea of ils magnitude may be gained from the fact that it took fourteen roaches filled with patrolmen to make the actual invasions of the places. The police reserves were out from the First and Second Inspection districts, which means every station from the Battery to Fourteenth street.
