Sold by (\ok A* Odee, W!: HOW JAPANESE MEET DEATH Striking Heroism of Soldiers on Transport. SIHKING OF THE QHSHIUMABU. fraglc End of Officer* and Men Whea the Veiael Wm Torpedoed by Kua •lana Soma Committed Suicide. Others Kept lry Hot Fire and Sank Cheerlag and Slnglug. Death rather than submission was the fate which was voluntarily chosen by the soldiers and others who were on board the transport Klnshlumaru at (iensan when the Russian warships suddenly appeared on the scene. The Kobe Chronicle reprints from a native paper a most interesting actount of this stirring incident of the war, says the London Telegraph. It appears that the men had been ashore acouting and had then re-embarked. The escorting torpedo boat destroyer flotilla put to sea and the transport followed, but soon the vessels were separated in a fog, and when this lifted the Kinshiu maru, thinking the squudron to be the ships. Captain Yagl of the Klnshlu maru, thinking the squadron to be the Japanese, altered her course and steer ed toward the warships, when the sig nal "Stop" floating frwm the mainmast and the firing of a blank shot across the Kinshiumaru's bows brought the ship to a standstill. This turn of events naturally caused surprise and astonish ment on board the transport, but noth ing could be done in the way of escap ing. Lieutenant Commander Mizogui chi, who had charge of the work of the transport, proposed visiting the warships and taking such measures as required by circumstances. This was agreed to bo the best course, and, hav ing said farewell to the military officers iu command of the troops and accom panied by Captain Yagi, Paymaster lida and an interpreter, Mr. Kondo, the lieutenant commander rowed to the nearest warship, whence, as is known, the party never returned and are now prisoners of war at Irkutsk. On board the Kinshiumaru the mili tary officers assembled in the saloon and took counsel as to their course of action. The officers were Captain Shilna. Captain Sakural, Lieutenant Terada, Lieutenant Yokota and Ensign lllgnki. After the conference Captain Shiina went into the between decks, where the men had been ordered to as semble. and gave orders as to the couw to betaken by them. Meanwhile both the transport and the warships had been lowering boats, and three officers boarded the Kinshiumaru and ordered the troops to lay down their arms and surrender, stating that if tliey did so they would be taken on board the warships. The soldiers were given an hour In which to arrive at a decision, and having allowed the crew of the steamer aud the passengers to take to tne boats the naval officers re turned to the squadron. It was now past midnight, with a bright moon and clear sky. A great silence prevailed on the transport, which now had only troops on board and a few bluejackets aud coolies. Cap tain Shilna once again Inspected his men, who were found in perfect order, some motionless, but others fixing bay onets or loading their rifles, preparing for the end. Sergeant Major Washl was collecting the maps, sketches, etc., kept by the officers. Sergeant Okano gathered in the note books of the men. and maps and note books were thrown into the engine rooui fire. A corporal ordered the men to take off the num bers on their shoulder straps so that everything should be destroyed which would prove of any value to the enemy afterward. It w as past 1 o'clock on the morning of April 20 when the Russians dis charged a torpedo against the fore part of the transport. On this Captain Shilna went into the 'tween decks and freed the men from military discipline. They were told to take what course they thought fit, as rothing could be done to avert disaster. The men, anx ious to fcno^L the fate ttt theiL ttfllcsxs, swarmed tip the companlouways to tlie sak»on, found the doors locked and no so and Issuing therefrom. Inside werr the officers, who had agreed to sink with the steamer, imprisoned in th saloon so that they should not fall int the hands of the enemy. Particular and scrupulous to the last, the officers had persuaded Captain Sakurai, wh dhl not belong to their regiment, of th.* luadvisability of his dying with them uptaln Sakural, an old experienced ottieer, regarded by the general staff as one of the smartest officers of the army in northern Korea, left his comrades, and the manner of his death is un known. According to reiwirt, however, It seems there was not perfect unan imity In the manner the officers should meet their death. It Is stated thar Lieutenant Terada dissented from the command of Captain Shiina that the officers should die together and left the ship vowing that he would sell his life to the enemy, but die fighting. What became of Lieutenant Terada is not known. The end of the men was equally tragic. Some mlwntes after Captain Shiina had given his last commands, which left the soldiers to their own re sources, Sergeant Kurisu and Corporal Horisaka committed suicide by shoot lug each other, and many followed this example. Sergeant Okano went on deck, drew his sword and committed harikari, an example, we are told, which was also followed by seme of his men. A Hither more soldierlike way of spending the last moments of their lives was that of Corpor»J Hashi moto and some sixty men, who from the deck fired repeatedly at the Rus sians by the corporal's command. The enemy replied with fatal effect, but the end of all was now near. Fifty min utes after the first torpedo was dis charged a second torpedo struck the Kinshiumaru and nearly cut the vessel into two parts. It sank in thirteen min utes, but during this time a hot fire was kept up by the Japanese, who went down with the ship, cheering and singing the march song of their regi ment The final stage of this chapter of the war Is well known—how about sixty of the men succeeded in getting clear of the ship, either before or after she sank, and reaching the coast, but there were noncombatants whose fate is quite uncertain, bluejackets and coo lies, whom it is thought possible the Russians may have picked up after ward. The end of many on board the Kinshiumaru is one more striking ex ample of the heroism with which men can be inspired when the alternative to death is surrender sad the sense of military disgrace. Wl USE CUT-OVE* LANDS. Big Gwzir.fl Project Planne# f«r Northern Minnesota.
