RUSSIAN ANSWER ON
C0NTRABAND OF WAR.
Reply Made 10 the Note of the
United states.

Reply Made 10 the Note of the
United states.
st. Petersburg. Sept. 19.-The Rus
sian answer to the American notes in
regard TO contraband of war, as spe-
officially raised in the cases of the
British steamer Calchas and the Port
land 'Asiatic Line steamer Arabia, the
former while bound from Pudget sound
ports to Japan, has been delivered. It
follows generally the lines of the re-
ply to Great Britain.
On the broad question involved Rus
STA recognizes the principle of the i'm
munity of innocent trade with Japa-
nese ports, but she holds to her right
to stop contraband destined for the use
Of the japanese military or naval
forces. The United States are in
formed that instructions embodying
the decision of the commission. presid-
ed over by Prof DeMartens, have been
issued in the form of instructions to
naval commanders and prize courts. TO
govern them in the future. the instruc-
tons recognizing the dual uses and,
therefore, the condtionally contraband
character Of the articles of food stuffs,
rice. etc, enumerated in Section 10 of
Article OF the Russian regulations,
with the exception Of horses and 9TH
er beasts Of burden
Russia will not undertake at this
stage to interfere with the cases Of
the steamships Arabia and Calchas, Of
which the courts have already taken
jurisdiction, and in which the Vladi-
vostok court found the facts. but, up
on appeal the admiralty court will ap-
ply it's Interpretation Of Section TO-
which practically amounts to an assur-
ance that the -four. etc, seized. will
then be. released. II is improbable
however. that all the articles confis-
Gated by the lower court will be re-
leased. AS far as the Associated Press
can learn. the commissions decision
as embodied in the instructions, does
not go beyond the article enumera ted
IN Section 10. from which IL is inferred
that coal. railroad material. machinery
and boilers for ships and even cotton
are enumerated along with munitions
Of war. etc. in other articles which re-
main IN the category Of absolute con-
traband. II Is understood. however.
that private assurance have been given
the United States that the American
government viii be satisfied with the
manner In which the contraband rules
viii be interpreted hereafter.

JUSTIFIES THE SINKING
OF KNIGHT COMMANDER.

London, Sept. 19.-Russia's reply to
the British protest on the subject of
Russias Interpretation of contra
band of war includes decision to re-
spect the British demand I'm the case
of the British steamer Knight Com
mander, (sunk by the Vladivostok
squadron off LEU, and afterwards adj
judged a lawful prize.) II is under
stood that Russia upholds the principle
that Admiral Jensen was justified in
sinking the steamer.
The British government Is still hope
full Of a settlement by means Of an in
demnity. but in view Of the decision Of
the prize court at Vladivostok it Is
said that Russia does not see how she
can comply with the British demand
as she thereby would recognize her Of
ficers to be at fault

LOOK FOR NO DECISIVE
BATTLE AT MUKDEN.
Russian War Office Says KurOpatISIn
Has strong Force There.

Has Strong Force There.
st. Petersburg, Sept 10, 6:59 p. M
While still insisting that Gen. Kuro-
patkin has sufficient troops at Mukden
to contest the japanese advance, the
War Office admits that it is not likely
a decisive battle will be fought there.
Everything goes to show that the main
Russian position is now at Tie Pass,
f1anked by hills running out on the left,
and by the river on the right.
Official reports to the War Office are
to the effect that the Japanese did not
make any further move towards Muk-
den until Sept. II, when reconnais-
sances in force disclosed that they were
still massing at Yentai and Bentsia-
putze. No Japanese have been discov-
cred east of the latter point. The
"Reminiscences, Gen. Kuropatkin says,
were brilliantly carried out by Gems.
Samsonoff's and Rennenkampff's Co.'S
sack brigades, with a mixed detach-
ment of infantry and artillery, under
Rennenkampff's personal command.
They captured a village north of
Bentsaputze, which was used as a
pivot. The Russians drew off later, los
ing a few men killed or wounded, aft
er securing valuable information re-
garding the Japanese strength and po-
sition.
A couple of days earlier Gen. Mist
chenko's detachment of Cossacks re-
connoitered toward Yentai, at the cost
of a few score wounded, as reported in
the Associated Press dispatch from
Mukden, Sept. 16.
Gen. Kuropatkin says he reviewed
yesterday the Thirty-seventh division,
commanded by Gen. Chekmareff, which
had then just arrived at Mukden. 1t
belongs to the First European Corps,
of which the Twenty-second division,
Gen. Affanasovitch, reached Biao Yang
in time to take part in the battle there
The appearance of the newly arrived
European troops at Mukden, instead of
being evidence of the complete Rus
sian concentration there, as many per-
sons hastily assumed, is more likely
due to the decision of Gen. Kuropatxin
to get these fresh and INFESTED troops
in contact with the japanese and give
the soldiers who suffered the brunt of
the fighting at Lao Yang an oppor-
tunity to rest and recuperate.
Kuropatkin has ordered the issued of
heavy winter clothing in the middle
of October.

many" he said. He also said that
Mayor Mcclellan of New York is not
d candidate for Governor.
ME- Murphy's apparent opposition to
the Mcclellan talk is due chiefly to his
desire to retain the Mayor in his present
position, his resignation from which to
run for Governor would create polit-
ical complications in Greater New
York.
The only things about the platform
regarded as certain are that it will be
comparatively brief and that it will
lndorse- the Democratic national ticket
and drastically denounce the state ad-
ministration of Gov. O'Deu.
1t was announced tonight that
George Hall, Mayor of Ogdensburg, had
been practically decided upon as the
candidate for state controller
