ST. PETERSBURG, March S0.-The Of

which has been telegraphed by Count
Nuravietf, the Russian minister for
foreign affairs, to the representatives
of Russia abroad. 1t is as follows:
by virtue of a convention signed at
Pekin, on March 81, Port Arthur and
the port of Ia Lien Wan, and the ter
rltories adjacent, have been coded to
Russia, Ill usutruct, by China. You
are requested to notify the government
where You are accredited, adding hat
the above mentioned ports and the ter
rltorles will be Immediately occupied
by Russian troops, and that the Rus
sian flag will be hoisted by the side Of
the Chinese flag.
You may at the same time inform
the foreign minister that the port Of
Ia Lien Wan will be open for foreign
trade, and that the largest measure of
hospitality will be extended to the
ships OF all friendly nations"
An official communication issued to
the press adds that the cessions are for

COillnOU accord.
Further. China has conceded the
right e constructing a railroad to con-
meet the ports with the trans-Siberlan
main line.

the interests of their peoples, the Off.
clal communication continues:
While safeguarding the integrity
and sovereignty of China, and satisfy.

arrangement Injuries the interes. Of no

all nations the possibility of entering

London, Oct. IA dispatch to a
London news agency from Paris
says: To-day (Monday) the confer
ence reached a crisis for a time. Judge
Day presented the demands of the
American commission in strong
words. He said that delay was the
only possible object attainable by
the persistent efforts of the Spanish
commissioners to saddle b United
States with the Cuban debt and
would be tolerated no longer, as the
United States would neither II
or guarantee any part of the debt.
"Thp S%paniards replied that this
placed Spain in a position OF repudi-
ating or reducing the face value of
Cuban bonds from sc to 80 per cent.
paying only half of the stipulated
interest on the reduced value Be
fore they would adopt either alter
native they would surrender to the
United States the entire Philippines"
Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would prob

This to the Spaniards, the first in
timation of the intention of the Unit
ed States as to the Philippines, re-
suited in a whispered conference, fol-
lowed by a request for adjournment
in order to communicate with Mad
rid. Judge Day said that President
Mckinley had instructed him to de-
mand the entire surrender of Porto
Rico tomorrow Tuesday,, and the
delivery of every town to the United
States before midnight together with
the evacuation of Havana on or be
fore November LIST, when the United
States would be at the gates of the
city ready to take possession. There
was no alternative offered in the case
of either of these demands and the
session, consequently, was very brief.
