CRUISER NEW ORLEANS.
IL Has Arrived at Che Foo from Shano
Hal

Chez Foo, May 1.-THE United States
cruiser New Orleans, with Read Admiral
Stirling on board, arrived today from
Shanghai Her orders were simply to
come to Chez Foo. Rear Admiral Stirl-
ing said that the reason for his coming
and his future movements are unknown
TO him. In view fthe previous order
that no ships should come north of
Shanghai, the movement Of the New Or
leans is considered significant here. An
other Interpretation of the arrival
of the cruiser is that the United States
viii insist upon the neutrality of New
Chwang when the Russians evacuate that
place. The New Orleans is too large to
ascend the Lao river.
The cruiser New Orleans is at Che
Foo in accordance with a recent order
forwarded from Washington TO Rear Ad-
miral Cooper, commander in chief Of the
Asiatic squadron Owing to the danger
threatening New Chwang from hordes of
bandits who were awaiting the depart
ure of the Russians to begin depredations
is was deemed advisable to protect
American and other foreign interests I'M
til the Japanese arrived A cruiser and
a gun boat were accordingly ordered to
Chez Foo TO have themselves in readiness
for services at New Chwang, the gun
boat to be utilized in shallow waters.
