 The Lena is anchored between the four army transports lying in Mission Bay, and the new battleship Ohio. In fact, she is only about 800 yards from the big guns of the battleship, which was accepted by the Government Sat urday
 Navigating Officer speckneff. on be- ing asked how long he would remain here. said:
 We expect orders from our naval representative at Washington. who has just been advised of our arrival. It is probable that the naval attache will ask the Government for its permission to remove the guns from our decks and allow the vessel to remain here until the repairs can be finished"
 When asked how long he thought that would require, he said:
 The Lena will probably remain here until the war Is over"
 The Japanese Consul had little to say on the subject of the Lena's presence Japanese Minister at Washington" said he. notifying him of the vessels ar rival here The Japanese Government will take no action at the present, but will walt for the United States to make the first move.

must go to sea at once. or at least within twenty-four hours of notice to our oficiais of her arrival in port.
 She may take on supply of coal, but only sufiicient to move her to the nearest home port. and 1t will be part of the understanding upon which this coal is to be. furnished, that 1t is to besused for no other purpose; Amer lean 6orts must not be made the basis |of hostile operations, against either of the belltgerents.
 yladivostok and Port Arthur are the nearsst ports to San Francisco, but 1t is possible that our Government would recognise the fact that they are absor |lutely closed by blockade to the Lena. this sanctionfng the, departure of a ship for Russia ,southward by way of the west coast of South America, Cape Horn and the Atlantic Ocean.

 May Stay Ont the War.
 It is Believed at the Navy Department that conditions will not be allowed to shape Themselves so that the Lena can 20 out of the San Francisco hArpor to prey on commerce, even though 1t is carried onr in Japan bottoms. In fact. the impression prevails that the Lena will be tied up at San Francisco until the end of the war. the crew remaining g aboard # the Japanese Government does not object and this is not likely in view of the precedent established in comfortably quartered at the training station oh Yerba Buena Island. in the middle Of the sharbor.
 It Is believed the Russian captain will not be averse to this condition. as he is probably a, refugee and without hope of being able to keep to the sea and escape the penalty of the neutral iity laws until some opportunity affords him to carry the Lena safely through the Japanese blockade into vladivo- stok.
 A telegram has been received at the Japanese legation here by MT. Hioki. first secretary. from Kisaburo Uyeno. the Japanese consul general at San Francisco. reporting the arrival of the Lena and giving substantially the same explanation of her presence as was communicated in the news dispatches this morning. It is said Minister Ta- kahira will make this statement the basis of representations to the State Department
 The Lena has crew of 474 men and twenty-one officers. and carries twen- ty-three guns.

The Russians Declined to Allow Them
 to Leave Liaoyang.
 Tokio, Sept, 12.--(2 F. MA tele- gram received here from Field Marshal Oyama at midnight last night gives the disposition of the Russian troops in the vicinity of Yentai and Mukden.
 He says a large force of Russian cav airy is posted at Ping Taitsze, which is about twenty-four miles to the east of the Yentai railroad station. and an- other force, of cavalry occupies the of Ping Taitsze.
 Other bodies of cavalry with artil- cry are located at Huangshanlin. on the eastern road out of Mukden. as well as in the neighborhood of Yumentse- sushan, which Is occupied by the Jap anese. Some detachnients of Russian cavalry are posted at Fanchi, Kusha- tui and Menkukutun. along the railroad between Yentai and Mukden, and are apparently keeping in touch with and watching the Japanese.
 Another report received from the headquarters of the Manchurian army tells of the pitable condition of non- combatants fin Liaoyangf. It relates that while the Russians were holding the defense works close 10 the walls of
 
 of non-combatants from, the city and consequently many were killed or wounded.
 pr. A. M. westwater. e we'll known British. medical missionary of Liao- yang, Is at present sheltering 200 wounded non-combatants and feeding and nursing many more.
 Concluding. the report says:
 The condition of these people is beyond description and 1t Is awful to see the results of this Russian in humanity. The killed and wounded were of course hit by our fire, but the Russians were responsible. It is a great pity to extend the calamity to non-combatants."
 An additional report from the army headquarters concerning dum-dum bull let's says:
 Among the Russians munitions cap- tured at Liaoyang are two kind of dunn dunn bullets which very much resemble those made for the Russian rifle of the 1891 type. They do not, however, fit this rifle exactly. We made search for rifles which could have fired these bullets. but failed to find them.
 The wounds received by our men are comparatively large and 1t seems likely that they were made by dunn dunn bullets. We have. however, been unable to ascertain this definitely. The presence of the bullets explains Itself. Photographs of the bullets and papers relating to this matter will be later

 Tolxio. Sept. 12.-(7. P. M.)-Details of the fighting by the troops under command of General Kuroki from Au- gust 2s to September 5. were received here this morning. and the stories of desperate and continuous engagements show the fighting to have been the su- preme test of endurance
 September 2 and 3. the Japanese sol diers were without anything to drink for twenty-four hours. and during that time they had no food save dry rice.

Now Reported that Linevitch VIII supcr-
 cede General Kurepatkin.
 St. Petersburg Sept. I3--(2 A. M)-wfth the hull in military operations and an sl- most entire suspension of dispatches from the front. St. Petersburg has fallen back on run1ors. Countless stories are afloat re- garding the Russian defsat at Lif evans. some of which are absolutely absurd. while others have apparently enough basis to give them color of possibility
 Of first importance Is tho revival of the rumor of Viceroy Aiexieffs resignation, based probably upon differences said to ex- ist between him and General KuropatkIn and others in authority in the Far East.
 Of next importance Is the rumor that Gen. eral Kuropatkin is to be superseded, Lieutenant General Linevitch being named as the most probable successor. This is sup posed to rest upon the emperor's displeasure with Kuropatkin's generaiship at Liaoyang and general dissatisfaction with the course of events at the front.
 Neither Alexieffs nor Kuropatkin's q friends seem to attach great importance to the stories involving them.

- INTERVENTION IS DISCUSSED.
Russian Papers Comment on Possibility
 of Interference.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 12.-(7:30 a. m.) Reports of impending intervention by the powers to end the war are con- sidered today by the Novoe Vremya which says there Is no prospects of such action by France. which country would surely like to see peace. The paper says 1t had rather Germany should undertake the task of separat- ing the combatants, while Germany has not the material interests to be affected as France and the United States.
 On the other hand, the Novoe vrem- va continues. America Is entirely too busy with the national election to un- dertake such a daring task. SO that Russia may as well look forward to the conclusion of the war without prospect that any world power will ever attempt to interfere.

Insect Which Resembles Closely the
 Mexican Boil Wevtl.

Louisville. Ky, Sept. 12.-A special from Atlanta, Ga, says:
 An insect resembling the Mexican boil weevil has appeared in the cot ton fields of Georgia and South Caro- -lina. The only difference between the new pest and the weevil Is that the former seems to sting the cotton boil installing into 1t a certain poison This poison at first dries up the boil and then 1t begins to rot 1t until finally the boil crushes to pieces.
 Bolls affected by these pests have been sent to State Entomologist New ell. who in turn has forwarded them to Washington.
