Che Foo, Nov. 16.-The Russian tor
redo boat destroyer Ratstoropny put
into this harbor this morning. II is
reported that Japanese war ships
are watching the harbor. The captain
of the vessel later informed the Chi
nese authorities that he will disarm.
1t is reported that the captain brought
an important dispatch from General
StCessel asking the officials at ST
Petersburg for instructions as to whe-
ther he should hold out awaiting re-
lief or make immediate surrender to
the Japanese on the most advantag-
eous plans possible. This rumor can
not be confirmed, but it is obvious
that only dispatches of the highest
would impel Stoessel to
risk the loss of war ship by send
face of the close blockade maintained
off Port Arthur by the Japanese fleet.
The commander of the Rastoropny
voyage said: Il left Port Arthur at
in a binding snow storm.
The boat was navigated through all
the dangers of floating mines without
mishap. On reaching the open sea we
saw Japanese cruiser and some tor
pedo boats in the distance. but we
rapidly through the storm
with lights extinguished and passed !
nnnoticed. We reached Che Foo with |
out mishap of any kind" The captain |
was optimistic with reference to Port !
Arthur. He declared that all che forts I
in the hands of the Rus
slams and that the garrison was con
fdent and in good spirits.
.LATER.-A bulletin from Che Foo
says the Russians have blown up the |
boat destroyer Rastoropny.
The Russians with the exception
If one man left the destroyer during
he afternoon. This man lit the fuse
and blew up the vessel. There were
hree dull explosions and almost i'm
nediately the vessel sank and set
led on the bottom. A single spar
marks the grave. IL is impossible to-
light to explain the Russian action
,ut it is believed they were determ-
ned not to allow a repetition of the
3yeshitelni affair. Prior to the des-
ruction of the destroyer TaOtai OFF,
tally informed the Japanese consul
hat disarmament had been complet-
ID. the breech locks and ammunition
laving been removed and the machi-
lery disabled. During the afternoon
he Russian consul officially notified
Taotai that the destroyer had been
lriven towards Che Foo by a heavy
,ea and that it had been decided to
iisarm her because the machinery
was injured. This is looked upon in
some quarters here as throwing
transparent veil over the purpose OF
the vessels visit.

The Dispatch to St. Petersburg.


st. Petersburg, Nov. 16.-Advices
from General Stoessel and Admiral
Wren brought by the Russian torpe-
do boat destroyer Rastoropny to Che
Foo from Port Arthur have reached
the Emperor. but have not yet been
made public. The great importance
of. the information is apparent from
the fact that the torpedo boat des-
troyer was deliberately sacrificed in
order to get the communication from
the beleaguered fortress. The only
word which has reached the admiral
ty is a telegram from the captain OF
the Rastoropny announcing his arri
val at Che Foo with official dispatch
es. The captain reports that the Ras-
toropny will disarm and be hauled
out on shore to prevent the possibill-
Dor and forcibly towing her out.
Three hundred engineers have al
ready been dispatched by Prince Hill
kOff. minister of railroads. in connec.
tion with the preliminary work of
double tracking the Siberian railroad.

RAIN FELL IN TORRENTS
AND MERCURY WAS HIGH.
First Thunder and Lightning for
1904 WINS Yesterday.

1904 WINS Yesterday.
Nearly two inches of rain fell be-
tween $50 and 10 o'clock last night in
Savannah, the exact amount being Lei
inches. This heavy rain was accom-
panied by thunder and lightning, and
this, together with the wind of TWEEN
ty-six miles from the southwest was
Savannah's share of the southerly
storm for which warnings were hoist
ed on Thursday night Savannah was
lucky to escape, as all other points in
the storm region suffered greater or
less damage.
The wind began blowing during the
early morning. 1t steadily increased in
velocity, and by noon was bowling
along with a velocity of twenty-siX
miles an hour. This was the greatest
velocity attained during the day, and
after about 4 O'Clock it began decreas-
ing gradually At O'clock it had
fallen off to fourteen miles.
The first indica ton of rain came at
1875 in the morning. The sky, which
had been clouded all day. at that hour
seemed to give a little encouragement
for final clearing, and after sprink-
ling for three minutes the clouds broke
and the sun appeared. This respite
lasted for only a short time, and the
entire afternoon was cloudy and
threatening.
In spite of the absence of sunshine.
however, mercury kept crawling stead
lily upward, until 1t had registered a
maximum of Sc degrees. The lowest
point registered was 60 degrees, MAX
ing the average temperature 63 de-
grees an excess of II degrees above
the normal. There was no great fall
ing off even after the rain.
At $40 o'clock in the afternoon the
first rain began falling. At 5;35 the
first thunder and lightning of 1904 was
heard and seen and an instant later the
rain began falling in torrents. 1t SEEM
ed as though buckets of water were
being dropped from the sky and UNI
breilas afforded little or no protection.
Within a short time the cutters were
filled and the trolley cars threw small
waves OF water from the tracks.
There was a wild scramble for room
on the cars and nearly every car at
that hour was crowded to Overlooking.
People stood in closely packed groups
on front and rear platforms and down
the aisles, and each newcomer added to
thel general discomfort The wind
Whirled the falling water under the
caves and there was little or no benefit
derived from umbrellas.
Inc rain continued steadily, MAIN
tanning the amount that fell each hour
until o'clock At that time the in
struments at the Weather Bureau had
checked up LOS of an inch. Shortly
after that hour, however, it slackened
and from then on until 10 O'Clock only
SO of an inch fell. This brought the
total up to 1.61 inches.
At 1915 o'clock the southwest storm

storm, only the edge of which passed
over Savannah, was then northeast
of Buffalo, the center having passed
over Buffalo earlier in the day. The
storm center at Buffalo was marked
by a wind of forty-two miles an hour
and a heavy rainfall. All effects of
the storm will probably have left Sa-
vannah before to-day. Clearing wealth.
