San Francisco, Sept. 13.-The sailing
orders of the American squadron now
in this port have been Cancelled by a
dispatch from the navy department to
Rear Admiral G. II. Goodrich. instruct

sail during the day for Magdalena bay
for target practice. The sudden change
Of orders, it Is said, is due to the unex.
pected arrival of the Russian warship
Lena in this port.
The statement that the Russian
cruiser Lena left Vladivostok thirty.
one days ago and arrived here with
foul boilers has aroused considerable
speculation and discussion. The aver

II is conceded ia shipping circles that
the main quest Of the Lena was the

open to capture at any place on the
