MAY CHANGE HER MIND.
Japan Expected to Ultimately Return
the RyeshiteIni.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 10. SO a. M
The Chinese minister came to st. Pc
terSbUrg from his seaside villa and
conferred with several ambassadors
regarding developments in the Rye
shitelni incident. The general impress
sion in diplomatic circles here is that
Japan may yet change her mind and
surrender the Ryeshitelni 20 the care
of some neutral power, Teserving all
rights such q course, il is pointed
out. would strengthen Japan's position
and at the same time avoid the posi-
blity OF complications affecting
China's neutrality and the limitation
of the area of hostilities which was
prompted by Secretary Hays note.
The question of the disarmament of
the Russian ships at Shanghai is, it is
understood, being settled on the spot
by the 1aOtoi and consul general of
Russia This matter Is not expected
here TO lead 10 the extreme measures
threatened at Toxic in view of an au-
thOritative statement made to TIE As
SOClated Press that Russia was recon-
ciled TO the disarmament of the cruiser
Askold and the destroyer GrozOvOi.
The admiralty has not yet been in
formed OF the Wherea bouts of Lieu
tenant Newton A. McCaUlley or Lieu
tenant Decuverville. respectively OF
the American and French navies. the
only two naval attaches who were at
Port Arthur and who recently left
that port. The authorities believe they
were on the flagship RetYizan, since
they were aboard neither the battle
ship Czarevitch nor the cruiser Ask
Old and consequently they must have
been with Rear Admiral Prince Ouk-
tomsky, who is understood to have
transferred his flag from TIE Retvizan
TO the Peresviet.
The admiralty considers It most prob
Gle that i've of the battleships have
returned TO Port Arthur arguing that
II the ships escaped they must either
nave been sighted or reported This
view is strengthened also by the re-
port from ChefOO that seven vessels
are now in the harbOT at Port Arthur.

POWERS WOULD INTERFERE.
Japs Cannot Make War in the Port
Ct Shanghai.

Washington. Aug 1S.-The fact that
Shanghai is what is popularity known
as an international port in all prob
abilities viii stop the japanese conduct
ing any offensive naval operations
against the Russian ships now there
In ports Of this character a number of
nations have certain wei defined
rights-granted to them By the govern
ment Of the country in which the port
IS located. The natural expectation
therefore, IS that every effort viii be
made 10 preserve the neutrality Of
Shanghai and prevent any active steps
by Japan toward capturing the Russian
vessels now there. However, the neces-
sity eOr asly such action seems to be
obViated b. the promise of the Russian
government, as announced in the St
Petersburg dispatches, TO disarm both
the Askoid and the GrOzOvoi. thus rem
dering them useless for further effective
work during the war
