RUMORS Of KAISER'S
BAD HEALTH DENIED

Berlin. Nov. f7.-The rumors of a
recurrence OF Emperor Williams
throat malady and the necessity for
another operation are received with
the greatest incredulity in court, med
ical and other well-lnformed circles in
Berlin. The emperors daily course life
is such as TO almost in itself give the
lie to the report. The Associated Press
is able to corroborate the recent denial
OF a similar story with stateme t
from a competent medical source very
close to his majesty, that the emperor
is in the best OF health.

NO oEElcIAL CONFIRMATION
Rastoropny Was to Be Hauled Ashore
and Disarmed.

and Disarmed.
ST. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-There is nc
official confirmation of the reported
blowing up Of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Rastoropny at Chefoo. The
understanding at the admiralty has
been that the vessel would be hauled
up on shore to prevent a repetition
Of the Ryeshltelni affair, and that she
would be disarmed in regular course.
Oficials here state that nothing has
yet been received TO indicate thet
there has been any other procedure,
but that the commander will be gov
erned by local conditions. There Is no
inclination to blame him for taking
any measures that might appear to
him to be necessary.
General Stoessels report has not
been given out, but the Associated
Press understands that It contains no
request for instructions regarding the
surrender OF Port Arthur. II is int~
mated that the report goes at consid-
erable length into details Of the recent
fierce land fighting. but says that the
interior line Of defenses remains in
tact. General Stoessel believes he will
be able to Withstand the Japanese as
saults for some time TO come. The
blockade has been run by a ship with
a cargo Of war munitions, food and
hospital supplies. Some warships in
the harbor have been damaged by
shell fire, but not seriously. Many guns
have been removed from the ships and
mounted on shore, where large drafts
from the crews are taking turns in aid
ing the garrison in its historic defense
of the fortress.

Philadelphia, Nov. 17.--After having
been lashed TO a mast for more than
"a hours and with hope of being res

and crew Of seven men of the brig c.
c. Sweeney, were taken from their
perilous position Tuesday afternoon
by the steamer Hawaiian, from Homo
lulu for this port. The men suffered
greatly from exposure to the weather,
but are apparently no worse for their
experience.
The brig left Charleston early last
week for Philadelphia with a cargo OF
lumber, and encountered the southern
hurricane Sunday OF the Virginia
coast. The brig withstood the terrific
wind and sea for a short time only
and then became waterlogged. The
deck load and houses were swept away.
and the vessel finally broke in two
The crew then climbed the mainmast
and lashed themselves in the mainsail
to keep from being washed away. They
remained in this position until Mon
day afternoon, by which time the sea
had moderated enough to permit them
TO return TO the deck OF the half
sunken hulk. No vessel was sighted
until Tuesday morning, when the Ha-
waiian responded to their distress sig
