INC N! / RUPTURE. LIKELY.
Russia Prepared to N axe Full
Reparation If She Has q.
Done Any Wrong.
(ByiAssociated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, July q. The tension in
the Russo British relations has been re-
laxed and no rupture Is nov: probable.
Count Benckend arff. the Russian arnba
sador to Great Britain, informed Lord
9Lansdowne this morning that II Russia
had committed a wrong she was ready
and willing to make full reparation. but
before any action could be ia ken in the
knight Commander case. the Russian
government must have the opportunity OF
receiving the report Q the commander Of
the ladivostok squadron. n Lord Lans,
.downe was not disposed to press the
ma tier unduly, and promised to wait g
reasonable time. 4 III 3SS .55S
It developed to-day that the United
States IS depending on Great Britain to
obtain compensation for the loss Of the
knight Commanders cargo. It is the
custom for ship owners to be sponsible
TOR cargoes. and therefore the American
claim Is to be made to the owners of the
Knight Commander. who. Of course, are
British. and who. in turn, will make a
claim to the British government.
