p. m.~»The action of the Japanese tor-
pedo boat destroyers in attacking and
towing out the defencaiess Russian tor
pedohoat destroyer Ryeshitelni at Che-
foo is regarded in diplomatic circles as
being a very grave 1) tier for Japan.
When the facts are 0 claily establish-
ed no doubt exists that Russia will
promptly call the attention of the pew-
ers to this breach of the neutrality of
China
Aside from the possible questionable
right of an uninjured ..warship to seek
a sanctuary in a neutral port when not
forced to dose by stress of weatherm
lack of coal and provisions. all the dip-
lomats agree as to the absolute illegali-
ty of beilgerent ships entering neutral
ports, and there committing hostile
acts. The case, so far as the facts are
known, is considered much more no.
grant than that at Chemuipo. where all
the foreign-commanders, except the
commander of the American warships
there protested against the proposal
of the Japanese to enter and tight the
Russian cruisers, Varlag and Korieta.
in a neutral harbor. '
LONDON, August 12.—A dcspatch
from Anshanahan to the Central News
relates that according to Chinese re~
outta the lull in Japanese mmtary op-
eration arises from the fact that three
divisions of General Knrokifs force
have been sent to assist the troops be~
sieging Port-Arthur.

LONDON, Aug. 12.—The British oili-
cials and foreign diplomats regard the
action of the Japanese in cutting out
the Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Rycshltcinl at Chei'oo as raising a ser-
ious question of lame once to all on
tious
The foreign office received this morn-
ing a dcspatch from the Irish consul
at Chcfoo confirming the capture of the
, Ryeshitcini and her. removal by her
captors from the harbor. The consul
added that the facts were immediately
reported to the Chinese governor and -
the foreign diplomats at Pekin. The
former evinced considerable concern
but so much at the fact that the attack
‘ was made on the destroyer as at the
precedent esabiished by Japan which
Russia. may follow in case of emergen-
cy, thereby extending the area of hos-
tilllics which Secretary Hay sought to
circumscribe.
ST. l’U’PERSBuRG. Aug. 12. -The
Russian reply to the Blitish r presen-
tations in the Knight Common or case
was handed to Ambassador Hardinze
today. While couched in the most
friemiiy terms it. does not recede from
the Russian position, as set forth Ill
the prize regulations, to exercise the
right to destroy, in cases of emergcn~
cy neutral vessels carrying contraband.
At the same time Russia assured Great
Britain that there would be no more
aneutrai ships sunk unless circumstan-
ces rendel it impossible to bring the
vessel before a prize court.

WASHINGTON August 12 -—-The re-
port of the capture by the Japanese
tclpedo boat destroyers of the Russian
destroyer Ryeshitelni, in the harbor of
Cbefoo, as conveyed to Washington
by Consul General Gowlcr's cablegram
today warrcceived with the deepest
interest and also concern, for it was
realized that there wore in this inci-
dent thc germs of serious interaction-
Mr. Fowler spoke of the
affair as a "cutting out expedition," the
reply differing in an important point
from the press dispatches which 'at
first reading appeared to‘indio'itto'that
the seizure of the Russian best was in
at least some degree calls'ed by the ac-
tion of the captain of the craft in at-
locking the Japanese boarding liéuten-
ant. It may be that upon this point
will turn‘ the decision asAto whether Or
not there has been a Violation of Chi-
, nose neutrality by the Japanese
If the expedition was a genuine cut-
ting out one, then there is no question
in the minds of the officials here that
the Japanese have committed an 'of-
