Russians Examine Admiralty'S Rules
-Ne1U Warships.

St Petersburg. July 27.-The correspondent
OF The Associated Press understands that in
consequence Of the sinking Of the knight Com
mander. the Russian authorities are carefully
examining the instructions issued by the Ad-
uiralty 10 the commanders OF the warships
with the view Of possible revision OF the regu-
lations II the International law officers OF the
crown consider that they go too far.
The Russian press has been significantly silent
for two days regarding complications over the
acts OF the Red Sea cruisers. Not word OF
concerning the sinking OF the British steamer
knight Commander. and there is no doubt that
the government has requested the papers 10 re-
frain from printing their views on the affair.
The government deprecates the provocative at
titude OF the British press. and probably does
not desire that the Russian papers shall add
fuel TO the fame.
An imperial ukase has been issued placing
seven merchantmen purchased abroad IN the
second class cruisers. These four have been
named the Don. the Ural. the Terek ana the
Kouban- The other three are known the
Irish. the Anadyr and the Argun, and list

is reason 70 believe that the cruisers will be
