Russian Consul Endeavors to Ascrfbe
Appearance Of Vessel In Chefoe
Harbor to the Machinery

Chefoo. Nov. 1s.-The Russians with
the exception of one man left the Re-
storopny. This man lighted the fuse
and blew up the vessel. There we're
three dull explosions. which were
scarcely discernible a 100 yards from
the place where they occurred Almost
simultaneously the Restoropny settled.
A spar marks her grave. 1t is impos-

Of the action Of the Russians, but II Il

Prior to the destruction OF the destroy
er. the toatoi had officially notified the
Japanese consul that her disarmament
had been completed the breech blocks
and ammunition having been renewed
and disabled.
During the afternoon the Russian
consul officially notified the toatoi mat
the vessel had been driven toward
Chefoo by heavy gale and It had been
decided to disarm her because her
machinery had been disabled. This Is
looked on in some quarters here as the
throwing OF transparent W II over the
purpose OF the vessels visit.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns authoritatively that the
Restoropny carried sealed orders pro-
viding that unless there came a highly
favorable opportunity TO escape the
vessels should be blown up. Suf7cient
powder for this purpose was secreted
before the destroyer left Port Arthur

Customs officer Koenig was on board
the destroyer and the Russians exper-
fenced considerable difficulty in getting
him off without arousing his suspicions
The destroyer's cutter. manned BY two
men. was lying near and the ofyiciaI
was persuaded to take a ride around
the Restoropny in order that he might
see the injuries she was alleged to have
received.
No sooner had the customs ofllcer
stepped into the cutter than a petty
officer drew his watch and urged the
rowers to make all speed away. When

pEsTRoYERs DEPART.
Blowing Up of Restoropny Relieves ia
pan of Much Embarrassment.

Chefoo. Nov. 1S.-The three Japan
ese torpedoboat destroyers which en-
tered the harbor Thursday morning TO
ascertain II the Russian torpedoboat
destroyer Restoropny was here disap-
peared for time. but reappeared In
the afternoon. The Japanese consul
sent a cutter out to meet them and
informed the nearest destroyer. the
Kasumi. that the Restoropny had been
sunk. The consul says this was the
first news of the sinking OF the Resto-
ropny. The Kasumi transmitted the
information by wireless telegraph to
the Japanese flagship, whereupon the
dsstroyers disappeared In the direction
OF Port Arthur.
The sinking of the Restoropny by
the Russians relieved the Japanese Of
an embarrassing position. A repetition
OF the torpedoboat destroyer Ryeshi:-
elni incident would have aroused in
dignation. while a failure to destroy or
cut out the Restoropny would have ap-
pearsd like admitting previous wrong
doing.

Ell Paso. Nov. 1S.-The National IT.

sections, each section meeting In a

feet Of rural settlements. by Com
mander Booth-Tucker. was presented
to the congress. Aside from the tech
meal information brought out wednes-
days sessions were devoid OF usual
Interest, but all the delegates paid
close attention to the meetings in the
various halls and the convention is
proving very profitable. The Mexican
delegates are enthusiastic over the
prospect of being officially recognized
by the convention. It is understood
they will return to organize a con-
gress for Mexico. but they want affi1i-
alton with this congress also.
Among the resolutions introduced
and referred was one asking that con-
gress include Texas In the list Of
states that may benefit from the ma
tional irrigation funds: one urging leg
islation appropriating funds for tho
creation OF additional forest reserves
and another repeating and emphasize
ing the resolutions OF previous con-
crosses in favor of consolidating all
government forestry work in the de-
partment OF agriculture.
A letter from President Roosevelt
relative to reclamation OF arid land

ment said: THE future growth and
greatness OF the other western inter-
ests will derend IN the first degree up

pend upon the protection and wise use
of the existing forests and the crea-

VIII Hold Out as Long as Thsf
One Biscuit.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 1s.--The Also
ciated Press has learned from q high
placed gentleman. who was with the
emperor Wednesday and knows j the
contents OF General Stoessers message
brought by the torpedo boat to Chefoo.
that all th= talk about General Stoes-
sci asking for instructions to surren-
der is absolutely false. He said he was
not at liberty to disclose the nature
OF General Stoessers report. but ne
remarked: only when the last biscuit
is eaten and the last cartridge fred,
will the garrison surrender the fort
ress. This I can state positiveiy.-
Considering the authority. the gen.
erals words may be accepted as a
reflection OF the views OF the emperor
himself. The gentleman further stated
that the surrender report was all the
more ridiculous. as several vessels had
broken the blockade and reprovisioned
the garrison. He added: General
Stoessel also knows that the Second
Pacific squadron is on its way"

formal reply TO the circular note re-
gardlng the converting OF The Hague
conference is not expected till next
week. In the meantime the views Of
other powers are being ascertained
through Russian representatives
abroad. While there is no reason TO
believe Russia can agree to participate
in the conference during the war. there
is every indication that Russia will not
only not resent the proposal but her
reply will be cordial in character. In
the course Of conversation on the
subject between Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff and Charge d'Affaires Eddy

spoke feeiingly OF Russia's great in
terest in the work of the peace confer
ence initiated by Emperor Nicholas.

war not interviewed. to herself invite
the powers to a second conference.
While the war is in progress. however.
Count Lamsdorn explained, It is patent
free discussion would ensue and no
decision OF questions which might arise
would affect the belligerents.
