american officers Loud IN Praise of
British Hospitality.

Portsmouth England. July 14.-With recep-
tion given on board Rear Admiral Cottons flag
ship Kearsarge this afternoon, the official visit
of the American squadron to England terrni-
mated. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert
will leave Portsmouth Harbor tomorrow, and
receive the salutes of the warships as she
steams out. On Friday. when outside Spithead.
Admiral Cotton Will transfer his flag to the Chi
cago and proceed with the San Francisco and
the Machias to Lisbon while the Kearsarge will
begin her speed trial across the Atlantic.
Our reception in England has been most cor
dial and enthusiastic" said Rear Admiral Cot
ton. Nothing could exceed the courtesy ex-
tended to all sides, from the King and
Prince of Wales, the officials of the government
and officers of the army and navy to the people
of London and Portsmouth. I have doubt
that the result of the visit Of the American
squadron will prove beneficial in the extreme,
and that it will tend to strengthen the cordial
relations which have long existed between the
two countries
Admiral Cotton is highly gratifed at the re-
ceipt of photograph from the Prince OF Wales
bearing the inscription George, Portsmouth,
July 13, 1903"
Admiral Cotton and the other American Off
GERS give Captain Hemphill all the honor for
the part played by the Kearsarge whose pres
ence contributed in such remarkable degree
to the success of the visit.
I'VE have been killed with kindness" said
Captain Hemphill. Our reception could not
have been better in any shape or form. l have
the pleasure of meeting people in the English
service whom nave not seen for many years
among others that charming officer, Captain
Bayly whom I met before when in England
through the order of the late Queen Victoria
in doing honor to America by assigning one OF
her best ironclads to convey the remains of
the philanthropist George Peabody to Port
land. 1t is impossible to express our apprecia-
ton of the courteses shown us, and we are
deeply indebted, especially to Admiral Sir
Charles F. Hotham, commander in chief at
Portsmouth; Captain Arbuthnot and Captain
Sir Archibald Milne"
In order to provide a satisfactory buoy for
the Kearsarge, the royal yacht moved this af-
ternoon to another position, her place being oc-
cupied by Admiral Cottons flagship Another
honor which commented on by the English
visitors was the action of Admiral Hotham in
permitting the use of the royal gangway dur
ing this afternoons reception which was at
tended by two thousand persons.

CONFER ON MANCHURIA.
Russian Representative Submits I'm
p0rtant AdUiceS to Dir. Hay.

Washington, July 14.-Far reaching in its
effect on the Manchurian situation was the con-
ference at the State Department to-day be-
tween Secretary Hay and Theodore Hansen,
the Russian Charge dAffaires, who called. it is
understood, to bring important advices from
ST. Petersburg regarding the ports in Manchuria
which Russia is willing China shall open to the
United States. This has been the question that
has deadlocked the negotiations for some time.
What occurred at to-day's conference can only
be surmised. as both of the conferrees declined
to discuss the meeting.
Immediately after Mr.. Hansen's departure
Mr. Hay sent for Mr. Rockhill. chief OF the
Bureau of American Republics, and formerly
American Commissioner to China, and the two
were in conference until luncheon time. Mr..
RockhilTs intimate knowledge of the Eastern
question is duly appreciated at the State De-
partment and before Count Cassinis departure
he was frequently at the Russian Embassy IN
connection with the negotiations.
1t was indicated to-day by State Depart
ment official that the next few days might bring
to light important developments regarding the
Chinese American treaty.

able to do SO because of Russian objections.
opinion here is gloomy Unless the evacuation
Of Manchura occurs soon, the belief obtains
here that the acts of belligerent Russians on
the Yalu will precipitate conflict, as it is
understood that Japan will regard the continue
ton of Russian encroaChment on the territory
bordering the Yalu as a casus belli.
