ANGLO-RUSSIAN CRISIS.
French Government Has Taken initia-
tive Towards Averting 1t.

Paris, July 21.-5.35 p M.-The
French government has taken the ini-
tiative toward averting an AnglO-RuS-
sian crisis. Its action is not by the en-
ercise of friendly Offices but by a more
effective means Foreign Minister Del
casse is making friendly representa-
tiOns to Count Lamsdorff the Russian
foreign minister. This from the ally on
whom Russia chiefly depends is ex-
pected to exert strong influence toward
Il pacific solution.
The exact nature of NJ. Delcasse's
representations is not discussed but
they are understood to contemplate the
release of the Malacca and suitable re-
dress. Russia's answer is expected to-
morrow. If it is satisfactory the re-
lease of the steamer probably will be
followed by the payment of a money
indemnity.
The French authorities are doing
everything possible to prevent the af-
fair from assuming grave proportions.
Although reluctant to criticize Russia
they incline to the view that mistake
has been made in the present case
which Russia will be ready to admit
and correct unless retarded through eX-
cessive british criticisms.
The French press and public are
taking the affair calmly. The minis
terial press takes the view that the sit
uation is due to misunderstanding
and that if Great Britain establishes
the fact that the seized goods are not
cOntraband then Russia will recognize
| and redress the error.
| The Journal des Debats, tonight,
says:
THE situation does not warrant the
violent passionate feeling the Berlin
and London newspapers have shown
during the last IS hours"

fact that when Jews fall in battle. their
burial is different from that which oc-
ours when death results in other ways.
The Talmudic law requires that those
who fall in battle shall be buried in
their blood. Therefore the bodies of
such are not placed in shrouds, but are
inferred in their clothes.
Although Jewish soldiers officiate at
such burials. Rabbi Drabkin thinks
rabbis should be sent to the Far East,
together with the Instruments pre-
scribed by the Jewish ritual. The Jews

JAP VESSELS RETIRE.
Mikado's Fleet Flee from Russians at
Port Arthur.

Che Foo, July 21.-10 P. M.-Copies
Of NOvoe Krai, newspaper published
at Port Arthur, including the issue of
July II, reached here. this afternoon.
According to this paper. the Japanese
fleet, composed of six cruisers. five
gunboats and 20 torpedo boats. was

During the night of the 10th, 16
Japanese torpedo boats formed for an

used against the Russians.
During the evening of the 18th, the
Russian batteries sent many shells

JAPANESE INTENTION.
Battle at Mao Tien Considered I'm :
portant Indication.

Washington, July 21.-The military
experts say the Russian repulse at MAO
Tien is an important indication OF jap
anese intention. KurOpatkin's recon-
noissance disclosed the fact. OF when
he appears to have possessed no suspi-
cion that the Japanese were in strohs
force in the mountain passes which
command access to the country now IN
control of the Russians. and where 1t
is most necessary for Russian advant-
age that such control shall be retained.
The Japanese are credited with firm
desire to Gust the Russians. kuropat-
kin's dispatch of July II, gives no sign
of his lack of faith in the ability OF his
TROOPS to keep the Japanese in check;
but. on the other hand, it could hardly
be expected that the Russian COM
mander would betray any apprehen-
sion of that kind.
Nevertheless. it was evidently a sur
prise to the Russians to find the jap
anese mObiliZed in any such strength
in the passes and it at once furnishes
the Russians with a problem which
they cannot shirk if they would save
themselves from q lamentable defeat.
If the Japanese can get their strong
force through the passes into the vicin-
ity of Lao Yang they will be in po-
sitiOn, say the military experts, of cut
ting the Russian column in twain and
of leaving a large Russian body south
of it without the means of retreat to-
ward Mukden, and separated from their
base OF supplies.
This would be an important strategic
maneuver which the japanese probably
appreciate in the full measure of what
it means to them and to the enemy.
Naturally, the developments of the next
few days will be awaited with keen in
terest in the expectation that the Jap
anese will make an attempt to get into
position which will harass the Russian
retreat. 1t is regarded as a necessary
evolution of the latter that they resist
such operations Of the invaders. OF
whose superior strength in that neigh
bOrhood KurOpatkin has now had due
warning. This action of the Japanese
in obtaining a position which will en-
able them to cut off an important part
of the Russian force is highly praised,
so far as it goes. The success of the
movement remains to be determined
and it is toward this that the attention
of the experts is now directed.

Providence, r. L., July 21.-Capt.
William Humphreys, Mate Adams and
Is Of the crew of the British sailing

not accounted for and is believed to
have gone down with the burning ship.
The fire according to the captain,
first started at about 40, Tuesday
night, and after hard work it was got
under control and seemed apparently
extinguished, but at 1890 it again broke
out with renewed vigOr. All endeavors
to conquer it were unavailing. The crew
then put off in the two boats of the
ship.

The fire in the Creedmoor started, it
is believed by her officers. from spon-
famous combustion of gas arising from
her cargo Of oil.
