The return of the NladivostoF squadron TO it's
base is feat which reflects great credit upon
the commanding officer. Seldom have any ships
done more daring deeds than they i'm their
cruises around Japan. Whether the report OF
their operations will commend Russian naval
procedure 10 the neutral world is another ques-
ton. The sinking of a single ship. the knight
Commander. caused an unpleasant impression
and was regarded as requiring explanation. But
now we are told another steamer. a German
one, also sunk, besides various japanese
vessels and we are also told that the reason for
sinking them was that they were not sufficiently
provided with coal 10 carry them to VIadivostOk
There will probably be some strong question
ing of the suficiency OF that reason for DESTROY
ing the ships. Let us grant that the ships were
nearly out Of coal. That is quite probable seeing
that they were bound for Yokohama and were
near that port when captured. 1t is not clear
that therefore they were to be sunk. On that
principle it would be lawful to sink all sailing
ships that might be captured because they were
not fitted with steam power at ALL and there
fore could not accompany their steam driven
captors. Suppose an American feet were TAX
ing prizes in European waters. would it be justi-
fed in sinking them all as fast as it took them,
without reference TO n prize court, because they
did not have enough coal to bring them clear
across the Atlantic to America! There are
phases OF the InaLter tnaC VIII be much debated,
and which will have TO be passed upon by
other authorities than a Russian naval captain
before this Russian explanation is approved and
is made valid precedent in international law.
That Great Britain would strongly protest
against the indiscriminate condemnation of

In such protest she will have widespread SIM

appeal had fallen on deaf ears, FOR the visitors
continued TO be Of the Murphy and Asa Bird
Gardiner type, and the only real statesman
who went to Esopus and lent dignity TO the
candidate was Mr.. Charles r. Miller But we
now learn that things have changed perhaps
as the result Of the public rebuke OF Judge
Parker by The Times perhaps owing to the
private advice and diplomatic persuasiveness of
Mr.. Miller Judge Parker has at last come to

VAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
No Doubt That Russian Bases Are

rrRoN NE TRIBUNE BUREAU

washington. Aug. S.-There is not yet sufh-
cient information from the seat OF war to enable
the military experts to determine the extent Of
japanese success. although II is evident that
the Russian bases are seriously threatened. The
movement of the Russians is still one OF retreat
instead OF Offering formidable resistance TO ths
Japanese advance. The army officers say that
this manoeuvre on the part Of KurOpatEin IS
probably rendered necessary by the realization
that the Japanese have designs on his main col
umn with the purpose Of cutting II in two anu
perhaps accomplishing another Sedan.
The news by way Of St. Petersburg is meagFe'
but it indicates that much more has occurred
than KUropatkin admits. or. rather. than 10
given out by the authorities as coming from tho
front 1t is plain that the Russians are still re-
treating and that the psychological moment o.
collision has not arrived II is important tna1
