COAL FOR PORT ARTHUR.
CGrgoes at TSingtGu BeLieUed To
Be Going There.

Tsingtau. Sept. 22.-several Golfers have ar
rived here within the last ten days It is be-
heved the cargoes are intended for Port Arthur.
The British collier Foxton Hall has transferred
her cargo Of Cardiff coal to the German steamer
Fricka, which the local authorities would not
allow to leave until given assurance that no at
tempt would be made to enter Port Arthur. The
Fricka sails at daylight. and japan Is given as
her destination. but It is believed that she viii
ultimately make for Port Arthur. where
the Russians offering stupendous induce
ments for the delivery Of coal.
S. Davidson American merchant who had
Russian coal contract and was ordered TO leave
Port Arthur on February 10 last. is now at
Tsingtaa He tells the Associated Press CORE
spondent that when he left the coal supply was
much depicted. On account Of the Russian war
ships having been compelled to keep up full
steam day and night for nearly eight months
and the enormous quantities of fuel required for
the water condensing plant, there must be
coal famine there now unless more coal has ar
rived The Japanese have since cut on the
water. making It necessary for the garrison to
depend entirely upon the condenser. If a coal
famine prevails the town must be getting water
from impure wells, which would also have to
be served to the sick and wounded without ice.

Moukden. Sept 22-The situation here coD-
'inues quiet Small parties of Japanese skir-
nlishers are pushing northward on the road

II Is stated by Russian spies that MARQUIS
Oyaina mas detached considerable force to
co-operate with the army before Port Arthur
me russians have taken many Chunchuses
prisoners among them being found number of
Chinese regular soldiers.
The weather has turned suddenly cold The
supply of uniforms is inadequate, and the SOL
dlers are being supplied with Chinese padded
overcoats' which have been bought in large
quantities Many Chinese families are leaving
Moukden.
The Chinese are extensively counterfeiting
Russian money
Chinese have brought into Moukden ten SOL
diers who had been thought either killed or
captured at Lao Yang. They had been rescued
and cared for by the natives, who fed them and
brought them into the Russian lines The Chin
ese had refused payment from the men. but
they were suitably rewarded by the officers Of
the regiment.
The surgeon of one of the Siberian regiments.
who was captured at Liao-Yang. has arrived
here. The japanese found him attending the
wounded They treated him well. entertained
him at a concert in the Liao-Yang summer gar
den. and offered him place as surgeon in the
japanese army. Finding that he preferred his
own regiment. the Japanese good naturedly es-
corted him to the lines and allowed him to
turn 10 Moukden-

enced great kindness at the hands OF the Chi
nese. who fed him and his men and offered to
disguise them in Chinese clothing. This how

Vice-AdmiraI Skrydloffs chief of staff. has ar
rived here from VladivostOk with important dis
patches for the Emperor In an interview Cap
tain Cladot informed the correspondent Of The
Associated Press that the repairs to the pro-
tected cruiser Bogatyr had been completed.
that the damages to the armored cruisers Csron-
oboi and Rossia did not make necessary their
going into drydock, and that both were fit to
resume active service. He admits that the chief
mission of these vessels Is to prey upon COM
merce. but says they had hard fight with Vice
Admiral Kamimuras ships when the latter at
tempted to cut off their retreat Captain Ciadot
says that the Russians will be unable 10 recap

The correspondent OF The Associated Press is
Informed on good authority that Grand Duke
Alexis, the High Admiral. favors sending out
the Baltic feet to the Far East by way OF Cape
Horn. but It Is still undecided whether the fleet
will start this year
The Russ and the "Novoe Vremya" refuse
70 accept the low estimate OF the japanese hnan-
cial and military resources contained In the
English dispatches. They say they have no rea-
son to suppose that they are more correct than
the pictures OF the situation in Russia published
IN the British press The Russ is convinced
that the japanese are able to place as many
able bodied men in the field as France whose
capacity. the Russ" says, is 100000 men.
The paper admits that Russia is greatly bandi-
capped by the distance OF her army from head
quarters here. and urges doubling the Siberian
railroad line

CHINA And TIBET.
Russian Protest against the Pro-
posed Treatg sCith England.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 22.-The Russian protest
against the AnGlo-Tibetan treaty has been pre-
sented at Peking. NJ. Lessar, the Russian MIN
lister, is understood to have called the attention
of the Chinese Foreign Board to the fact that
China would abandon her suzerainty over Tibet
II she ratified the treaty thus creating a British
protectorate. The Foreign Office here has not
yet received NJ. Lessar's report. but the dis
patch from Pelling to ''The Morning Post" Of
London, announcing that China is not willing to
ratfy the treaty believed to be the direct out
come of Russia's protest
The Associated Press learns that Russia's rep
resentation to Great Britain in respect to Tibet
is based on the apparent difference in the assur-
ances given Count Benkendorff the Russian
Ambassador TO Great Britain on June and the
published terms of the Anglo-Tibetan treaty.
The assurances. which were Incorporated in
formal memorandum. stated specifically that
Great Britain would not maintain a military
occupation OF Tibet. would not establish a pro-
tectorate over the region and would respect the
integrity of China. Information which Russia
mas obtained from Chinese sources establishes
the Tact that the published version Of the treaty
IS practically that signed at Lhasa, so Russia
contends that being provisional with the possi-
olhty of a permanent occupation of the Chumb
Valley, 1t may be considered to be a violation Of
the British assurances.
Moreover, Article TX is so sweeping as to make
British authority in Tibet practically displace
that Of China Great Britain claims that the
Chumbi Valley Is not really part Of Tibet
though subject to its jurisdiction, and that she
has no intention to hold it permanently. The
Russian objection. therefore. is based princi-
pally on Article TX 1t is not expected in dpIo-
matte quarters that the incident will precipitate
grave complications. as Russia's interest in
Tibet is to large extent academic. But IT is
important from her point of view that Great
Britain shall not have such control over Chinese
territory as to enable her practically to dictate
what she shall and shall not do in respect to
dealings with foreign nations or their citizens

WAR VTEWS OF EXPERTS.
Kuropatkin on Guard against a Jap
aneSe FIanI: MoUement.
ErRoM TIE rR1suvu rrnsAu1

IFRoM THE TRIBUNE GCRSAUI
Washington. Sept 22.-The experts say that
the reports from the theatre of war show that
the activities Of the opposing forces are con-
fined to skirmishes and scouting parties The
movements are evidently those of small detach-
ments which may have the relation OF recon-
noitring parties to the main bodies. Kuropat-
kin's statement that he believes the Japanese
are making an effort to flank his left suggests
that the force under Kurok is being handled
with the purpose OF bringing on an engagement
The Russian commander evidently keeps posted
on the movements Of his enemy. and is In a
position to follow their plans. This Is the
quality which has gained praise for KurOpatkin
from American officers. who regard him more
of a strategist than a fighter. They say that
the present estimate of the Russian leader would
accord him all possible commendatiOn for what
he has accomplished In the face OF numerous
obstacles and despite adverse conditions. the
main element against him being the superiority
in strength of his adversaries. 1t is plain to the
experts here that Kuropatkin intends 20 guard
against the repetition Of the flank movement at
Moukden. although the best safeguard may re-
qLre his further retreat.
one of the features which has interested the
experts here is the report Of the Russian losses
at Lao Yang. This enables the officers to judge
somethinS of the engagement, and it would ap-
near that the conflict OF larger dimensions
than has been supposed. There was evidently
something in the form OF resistance by the Rus
SLAMS say the officers. although Ii may not have
been more than was absolutely necessary to
cover the retreat of the larger body and the
supplies. 1t would be interesting also to know
the extent of the Japanese losses in the same
conflict. The latter must have been able to re-
cover promptly and restore their formations. il
it is true that they already advancing. now
ever deliberately.

without conditions, and that they are still -.g-
ing that a special mission be sent to the Euro
mean courts with this object in view. 1t is added
that if these representations not successful
renewal of the anti-foreign agitation is not
fnonossibIe and the mission Of Tie Hang (the
Manchu official from Peking who has been in
the southern provinces for time) in collect
ing funds to reorganize the Chinese army is.

COMMAND PORT ARTHUR.
japanese BeLeUed to Possess T1co
EnceUent Gam Positions.

Toxic. Sept 22.-while official confirmation is
lacking. it seems certain that the Japanese
possess fort another height westward OF
Itzshan. which they carried by desperate as
saults and have since resisted all attempts to re-
capture by the Russians. Both these heights
overlook Port Arthur. offering excellent gun
positions. which materially weaken the Russian
defence
