King Edward. Message.

st. Petersburg. May 17.-Sir Charles
Hardinge, the new British ambassador
to Russia, arrived In st. Petersburg
yesterday. Because Of the part the
ambassador is expected to play In car
rying out King Edwards desire for
closer relations between Great Britain
and Russia, more than usual interest
in his arrival was displayed in oficial
and unofficial circles.
The authorities here attach consid-
erabls Importance to the prospective
declaration. Owing to the ambassa,
doris relations with King Edward. 1t
will be regarded as being as much an
expression of the views OF the King
as of the British government. On his
part, Emperor Nicholas will make a
response which will be no less cordial
than the utterance Of the British am
bassador.
In oficial and diplomatic circles It
is generally known that the establish
ment of better relation between Rus
sia and Great Britain is the object
of Sir Charles Hardinge's mission. The
specific purposes. however. are stip
yelled, despite the discreet inquiries
made by foreign diplomats OF their
british colleagues here.

The Russians are offering splendid

which would enable them to place
more fighting men in the field. but the
Chinese are not accepting the offer.
A Chinese engineer reports thirty
miles Of railroad crippled within the
past twenty-four hours between Hsing
Yo and Wafan Tien.
The total number of Japanses troops
landed at Pitsewo amounts to 10000.
A Russian officer who will not allow
bis name to be mentioned. informed
the Associated Press that the Russian
plan Is to retreat to Hardin and remain
there until home troops arrive, and
then make quick and decisive cam

Movement Of American Ships.

Che Foo. May 16.-The United
States cruiser New Orleans. with Rear
Admiral Stirling on board. arrived yes
terday from Shanghai. Her orders
were simply to come to Che Foo. Rear
Admiral Stirling said that the reason
for his coming. and his future move
ments. are unknown to him. In view
of the previous order that no ships
should come north of Shanghai, the
movement OF the New Orleans is con-
sidered significant here. The inter-
probation Of the arrival Of the cruiser
is that the United States will Insist
upon the neutrality Of New Chwang
when the Russians evacuate that
place. The New Orleans 10 too large

The cruiser New Orleans is at Che
Foo in accordance with a recent order
forwarded from Washington to Rear
Admiral Cooper. commander-in-chief OF
the Asiatic squadron. Owing to the
danger threatening New Chwang from
hordes of bandits who were awaiting
the departure of the Russians to begin
depredations, II was deemed advisable
to protect American and other foreign
interests until the Japanese arrived.
A cruiser and q gunboat were accord
ingly ordered to Che Foo to hold them

Russian. Fight with Bandits.

Liang Yao. Saturday. May 16.-Chi-
nese bandits are becoming bolder and
are causing much trouble to the Rus
sian outposts. A swarm Of the bandits
at noon Of May 18th attacked the coal
mines on the branch line east Of Yang
tai station. ten miles south of Lao
Yang. The mines, which supply the
railroad. were guarded by 200 rifemen
and 100 Cossacks.
In fierce fight the Russians repealed
the bandits and then charged them,
the bandits fleeing to the hills and
reighboring villages. The troops sur
rounded the villages and demanded the
surrender of the bandits.
The surrender was at FIRST refused.
but fearing that the Russians would
destroy their homes. the villagers re-
vealed the hiding places of the fugi-
tives. The bandits fought with the des-
peration OF entrapped rats. and fifty OF
them were speared and killed. The
Russians suffered no loss.
Among seventeen prisoners taken by
the troops were two japanese officers
who had escaped from the Russians.
One Of the bandits taken prisoner con-
fessed that the bandits had been hired
by the Japanese. whom they were sup

late when she gained the outer line of

nearest warship, big armored cruiser,
she stole toward her and succeeded in
exploding against her side single
torpedo.
A deafening roar followed the ex-
plosion. which echoed far ashore. I'm

which evidently was badly crippled.
The crew OF the cruiser was seen to
be fighting the fire. which 1t as last

The launch escaped the hot fire d.

but, being unable to return to Port
Arthur or to get into Dalny, she was
beached not far from Dalny.
Only a few of the higher officers were
aware Of the plan, the success OF which
depended upon secrecy. The achieve

officer who was the hero of the exploit

Fear Chinese Hostility.

st. Petersburg. May 15.-Disquieting
news regarding the attitude OF the
Chinese is contained in dispatches
from officers at the front. In addition
to giving further details OF the cutting
off of Port Arthur aud confirming the
report of the Japanese advance upon
Lao Yang. these dispatches state spe-
cifcally that the Chinese have COM
menced hostilities against the Rus
SLAMS.
Major General Karevitch reports
that the Chinese attacked his outposts
on the Feng Wang Cheng road leading
to Saimatsi. General Plug telegraphs
that. according to reports OF patrols
and missionaries. the Chinese at Tap
adziasti, 160 miles northwest OF Muk
den, and Just outside the Russian
sphere of influence, are preparing to
rise against the Russians and Chris
tians generally.
The authorities say that this matter
affects not only Russia. but the whole
civilized world. as 1t is feared the ris-
ing will spread to other parts Of the
empire.
