London. August 24.-The absence OF
dispatches of any kind from the Far
East this morning leads to the belief,
expressed editorially in the London
newspapers that important events are
impending. The mystery regarding the
movements of the Russian cruiser which
recently overhauled the British Come
dian is still unsolved.
In a dispatch to the Central News
from Copenhagen it is declared that
the large steamer flying the Russian
flag which passed through the great
belt yesterday bound south, as reported
in d dispatch from Nyborg, Denmark,
is the Russian volunteer fleet steamer
Smolensk.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph understands that
strict orders have been issued that
Russian cruisers are not to be allowed
TO coal in Cape Colonial ports, without
previous reference to headquarters.

BIG COTTON FIRM FAILS.
H. f. PAGE & CO.. ANNOUNCE
THEIR SUSPENSION.
Reading of the Notice Threw the
Ring into Wild Excitement-lt is
Said the Suspension is Only Tenn
porary and all Obligations Will be
Settled.

New Orleans, August 24.-The cotton
market received one of the greatest
surprises in it's history today when,
three quarters of an hour after the
opening, the we'll known firm of H. F.
Page and Company, posted an an
nouncement to the effect that it was
unable to meet further calls for mar
gins. Up to that time the market prom
ised to be quiet, almost as quiet as
Yesterdays market was active, but on
the reading of this notice the ring was
thrown into the widest confusion and
in an instant prices scared as traders
hurried to buy cotton to protect them
selves. October and December within
a minutes time went up 81 and 81
points.
The confusion about the ring was
the greater because the interest Page
had in the market was unknown. They
have been one of the heaviest operators
on the short side of the market for
some time. but it has been generally
supposed that their transactions were
profitable and not the slightest hint or
suspicion has ever been given out or
felt that they were embarrassed or like
| ly to be. The advances of the last day
or two, however, have been wild and
wide and it is generally supposed, ex.
hausted the resources of the firm. The
general estimates of the interest of the
firm in the market range all the way
from $4,000 to 100000 bales. The firm is
composed of H. Frellsen Page, William
A. Bres and Alfred F. Page .
Mr.. Page, in statement concerning
the suspension, said:
1T is merely a case of temporary sus-
pension of business and l am glad to
say that the obligations Of the firm viii
be met dollar for dollar. We have only
a slight interest in the New Orleans
market, our heaviest interests being in
| the New York and Liverpool markets.
The trouble was caused by our inability
| to meet margin calls from Liverpool the
| advances in that market having been
| great during the last few days.
Il can confidently say that it will
| not be long before We will be actively
| engaged in business again.
| A peculiar feature Of the suspension
| is that the offices occupied by H. F.
Page & Co, are directly under the Of
| fees occupied by Daniel j. Sully & Co.,
| the firm that made such spectacular
failure last spring.

be taken providing for the voluntary
disarmament Of the Russian cruiser
Askold ana the torpedo boat destroyer
Grozovoi, now at Shanghai and the

Advices received here from Saigon
show, contrary to previous announce

condition. She has one large hole Ia.
her hull below the water line. Her
injuries will take weeks to repair.
This would have permitted, an extern
sion Of her sojourn in neutral port
beyond the "a hours which expired
yesterday, but it is foreseen that the
repairs would entail a stop at Saigon
that it is possible that questions affect
ing the neutrality OF the port would

sia is disposed to disarm the Diana,
which thereafter will remain at Sal
gon during the war.
