JAPAN TURNS ON RUSSIA
Declares Cars Naval Officers First
Violated China's Neutrality.

to restore. the Ryeshitelni or make
any PREPARATION and that on the con-
trary she will contend that Russia
in sending the destroyer to, Chi-fu on
an important military mission herself
became responsible for the violation
Of China's neutrality, which Japan at
the opening of the war promised to
respect to the extent which Russia did.
Nevertheless, it is understood that
Great Britain, as the ally of Japan,
has advised her to apologize. It is
believed Japan realizes that this
course will please the western powers,
but that she will not follow it be-
cause it would mean a loss of prestige
in China, where concession has always
been translated to mean weakness.
China has replied to Russia's rep
reservations regarding the Ryeshitelni,
but her reply is couched in general
terms, protesting friendship and the
desire to preserve the strictest neu-
itrality. 1t expresses disapproval of
Admiral Sah's inability to protect the
Ryeshitelni and represents that he
took all the precautions possible, but
could not prevent the night attack
The reply also says that one Of the
Japanese destroyers was overhauled
as she was leaving the harbor and
that a protest was lodged against her
action, in view of which the japanese
captain promised to return, but did
not do so. The reply does not say the
Ryeshitelni's restitution was de-
manded. \
China's reply is considered unsatis-
factory by Russia, the main question
what has China done to secure the
restoration of the Ryeshitelni Pre-
naming unanswered. Russia also de-
manded the punishment of Admiral

STRING ON TURKS
PLEDGE TO ENVOY
Leishman, However, Expects
Porte Will Keep Promise to
i America

Constantinople, Aug. 1.-THE Porte
has addressed a formal note to- the
American legation confirming it's I'M
dertaking to accord equal treatment
to American schools and kindred in
situations as that granted to the most
favored nation, subject to the ac-
complshment of the usual depart
mental formalities."
In spite of the seeming reservation,
it is not believed that the Porte will
raise further difficulties in executing
the agreement, or run the risk of
creating a fresh crisis, which Ameri-
can diplomatic circles declare would
follow promptly any failure to carry
out the arrangement.
There is some comment in diplO-
matte and official circles regarding
the alleged incompleteness of the
American settlement compared with
the settlement obtained by France
on the occasion of the occu-
patton of the island of Mitylene in
1901. American circles, however,
point out that Minister Leishman OBJ
tanned what he demanded and is now
awaiting the execution Of the under
taking.

YANKEES WITH BRITONS
America and England Raise Question
of Food Stuffs as Contraband.

st. Petersburg, Aug. II, 2 pm
The United States and Great Britain
have formally raised the question of
foodstuffs as contraband of war, ex-
cept when directly proved that they
are destined for belligerent's armies
or navies. While acting on parallel
lines, the United States and Great
Britain are proceeding independently.
The American case was presented
thru Ambassador Mccormick, and
follows the lines of the American dec
laration at the time of the Spanish
war. It is in the form of a protest
against the confscation of flour on
board the Arabia. The general Ameri-
can contentious regarding coal,
naphtha, etc, as set forth in Secretary
Hays note of June 10, are also placed
before the Russian government. Great
Britain followed by raising not only
the question of foodstuffs as contra
band, but the legality Of sinking neu-
trail vessels.

preparations for a long struggle. 1t
was said to be improbable that any at

One chief reason for this is that the
unions not already out are said to be
not anxious to strike, but the reason the
strikers give is that the more men that
are on strike the smaller will be the

of Aug. 10 received at the admiralty

that it was a longrange fight and that
the Russians, sailing in close forma-

acted in completely with Japan in the
seizure of the .dismantled Russian tor
pedoboat destroyer Ryeshitelni at
Chi-fu. If the mowers do not take
some action in. the matter Russia will
consider that she is free to punish
China in whatever way and whatever
time she pleases.
The situation was discussed at the
cabinet meeting and this country's at
titude was decided on. The admins
tration does not consider that the in
cident is one in which it is concerned,
but it is thought likely that before
the exchanges now in progress be-
tween the powers are concluded, the
United States will be asked to state
it's views.
If such a request is received, Mr..
Hay will side with Russia in her con-
troversy with Japan and advise Japan
to return the destroyer, on the ground
that at the time it was seized it was
dismantled and under China's protec-
ton.
At the same time it is not 'consid-
cred that Russia's skirts are clear, so
far as China is concerned. Mr.. Hay
believes that when the Russian COM
mander ordered the vessel blown up
and directed his men to fire on the
boarding party and assaulted the Jap
anese officer who came on board to
investigate, he forfeited his right to
Chinese protection. Napoleon estab-
lished this rule In the General Arm
strong case, in which he was umpire.
AS between Japan and Russia, Mr.
Hay holds that the Japanese made the
first hostile move by boarding the dis
armed destroyer and that PREPARATION
should be made for it. The return OF
the destroyer, he thinks, would go far
toward closing the incident between
Russia and China.

The captain of police then COM

of the Sundsvall that none but the
German and French flags could be
honored IN such manner in a Rus

The officers Of the sundsvall, how
ever, saw no reason for hauling down
the flag, particularly as the ship was
not flying false colors, the Swedish
flag, denoting the nationality Of the
vessel being in it's usual place, and
long argument ensued. The police
captain maintained his position, and
finally the order was given to haul
down the flag which appeared SO dan

AS he gave the order, however, the
mate asked the Russian officer if he
realized that, by his act in ordering
down the flag, he had insulted a ma
