The Russians lose their flagship and Ad= miral but continue to fight. [Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.] St. Petersburg, April 14,? The combined Russian fleet and the Japanese ships un der Admiral Togo are engaged in the hardest naval engagement of the war off Port Arthur. The naval department is confident of Russia^ success notwithstanding the loss of their admiral and his flagship. St. Petersburg, April 14. ? While going to meet the Japanese fleet off Port Arthur the Russian battleship Petropaulovisk struck a mine in the outer roadstead this morning. The vessel heeled over and sank. The whole crew was lost. Four officers were saved. The Petropaulovisk was flying the flag of Vice Admiral Marakoff, who went down with his vessel. - The naval battle which ensued is still progressing off Port Arthur. It is estimated that 700 persons perished when Petropaulovisk sank. Twenty persons in all escaped, among whom was Grand Duke Cyril, who slightly wounded. The redorts of the disaster have spread broadcast and caused intense excitement. The Petropaulovisk was twice previously damaged in attacks on Port Arthur. She was a first-class battleship of 10900 tons and manned by 700 men. The department is censoring the news of th? battle at Port Arthur and this is leading to the conviction that the reverses are more severe than has been rej>orted.

Brady, governor of Alaska, for a third term. The strongest indication of all in this connection is that Brady's reap pointment is the president's deliber ate intention at this time, and (many critics to the contry notwithstanding).
