London, Aug. 13.-Dispatches from

tempt of the Russian Port Arthur
squadron to reach Vladivostok failed
and that the vessels have become
widely scattered. One torpedo boat
destroyer put into Chefoo, where she
was boarded and captured by the jap

cruiser Novik and a torpedo boat have
arrived at Tsingchou, at the entrance
of Kiaochau bay, the German conces-
sion on the southern shore of the
Shantung peninsula. According to an
other dispatch the cruiser Askold is
also at Tsingchou, but advices to the
German foreign Office do not include
her. Another Russian cruiser and a
torpedo boat destroyer are reported
as near Shanghai and four battleships
are off the Saddle islands, about sew

CzAREv|TCH IS DAMAGED
RUSSIAN BATTLESHIP REACHES
GERMAN PORT ON SHAM
TUNG PENINSULA.

Berlin. Aug. 13.-The foreign Office
confirms the arrival at TsingchOu, at
the entrance of Kiaochau bay, the
German concession on the Shantung
peninsula, of the Russian battleship
Czarevitch mot the protected cruiser
Askold|, the protected cruiser Novik
and an unnamed torpedo boat. The
Czarevitch is in an unseaworthy con-
dition, having been damaged in
Wednesdays fight.
The foreign office is sending In
structiOns to the German authorities
at Tsingchou to the effect that the
Novik and the torpedo boat must leave
the harbor within the twenty.four
hours prescribed by international law.
The governments instructions to
Captain Truppel, governor of Kiao-
chau, which is in the jurisdiction OF
the navy department, although explicit
in that the Novik and the torpedo boat
must leave Tsingchou within the
twenty-four-hour limit, do not, it Is
understood, provide for the possible
refusal of the Russian vessels to leave
that port. The Czarevitch, being I'M.
seaworthy, must naturally remain In
the harbor.
1t is suggested by one in authority
that If the Russian ships refuse to
depart they will be required to dis
arm.
The North German Gazette, in be.
half of the government, attirms that
Germany will enforce neutrality and
observe International law strictly.

IS REGARDED AS SERIOUS
Action of Japanese Warships At Chefoo
May Cause Some Serious international
Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The report
OF the capture by the Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers of the Russian de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni in the harbor ".
Chefoo, conveyed to Washington by
the consul general at Chefoo, was re-
ceived with the deepest interest and
Also concern, for it was realized that
there were in this incident the germs
of serious International trouble. Con.
sui Fowler spoke Of the AFFAIR as q
cutting out" expedition, thereby diff.
1ering in an important point from the
press dispatches, which at first read
ing appeared to indicate that the seiz-
ure Of the Russian boat was In at
least some degree caused by the action
of the captain of the craft in attacking
the Japanese boarding lieutenant. 1t
may be that upon this point will turn
the decision as to whether or not there
has been q violation OF Chinese neu'
trality by the Japanese.
If the expedition was genuine cut
ting out one then there is no question
in the minds of the officials here that
the Japanese have committed an o..
tense against International law BY
violating Chinese neutrality and, in
addition, have broken the agreemen,
they entered into at the beginning OF
the war, at the instance of the United
States government, to limit the

st. Petersburg, Aug. l3.-Everything
else, from military standpoint, seems
to be forgotten in the general anxiety
concerning the fate Of the Port Arthur

admiralty hang upon the preservation
of the bulk of the squadron and it is
not too much to say that the present
is regarded as being The most critical
moment of the war The admiralty
till noon declared that it was witho":
official advices as TO the whereabouts
of the squadron and could not confirm
the report that the protected cruise
Novik and another Russian warship
(the battleship Czareyitch) had put
into Tsingchou, at the entrance Of
Kiaochau bay, the German conc

case the results probably will be grave
and vexatious. Under the tenets of in
ternational law the captured vessel
must be returned to the custody of the
Chinese government and an apology
rendered for the offense against Chi
uese neutrality. But II Russian lives
have been lost. as reported in the press
dispatches, a greater complication will
follow, for Russia may in turn hold
China responsible for the punishment
of the Japanese who caused the death
of her sailors when under the shelter

and the main apprehension of the Off
Gals here is that it may be the Incl.

into the war as full f1edged belltg'
erent and ally of Japan. The conse'
Quences of such an act on China'a
part upon existing alliances between

was 2:45 p. m. when the guns of ST..
Peter and St. Paul fortress. opposite
the Winter palace here, conveyed the
glad tidings to the people of the Rus
sian capital. The effect was ELECTRICAL.
With the COON of the first gun the
people in the streets. who had been
molnentarily expecting the event for
twenty-four hours, stopped to listen
and count the guns. Only thirty

second doomed and the people were
aware that at last an heir to the
throne was born there were scenes of
rejoicing everywhere and before the
salute was finished the whole city had
bloomed out with flags and bunting

mote corners of the empire. In all the
