PRIZE AT SUDA BAY
Malacca VIII Be Inspected

LONDON, July GA special from
st. Petersburg dated today says that
the steamer Malacca is at Suda bay,
island of Crete, where, under the
agreement reached between Great
Britain and Russia, she will be per-
fu~nctorily inspected Jointly by the o
suls of the two countries and released,
together with her cargo, unless pal
pable contraband Of war intended for
the japanese shall be found, in which
case only the contraband will be held.
British government ,stores on board
the vessel will not be examined.
From the very first the authorities
here were convinced that the captain
of the Russian volunteer fleet steamer
st. Petersburg must have had good
reason for seizing the Malacca as n
prize, and his report stating that the
skipper of the Aialncca declined to
produce the ships manifest seems to
have justified their confidence.
According to a very high authority
Russia has conveyed assurances that

sea incidents. How the collateral ques-
lions growing out of these incidents
will he regulated has not yet been dis
closed here. There is no talk of an
international conference Mt this time
to discuss neutral commerce, bit diplo-
mats here believe that such a con-
ference to discuss this as well MS new
questions raised by the war, like the
use of wireless biography, is advisable
when the war ends.
A dispatch to Renters Telegram
company from st. Petersburg says it
is reported there that cruisers said to.
have been bought by Russia in Ger
many have joined the V~ladivostok
squadron, which went to sea especial
ly to meet them.
Special semioficial advices from
General Kuropatkin's headquarters in
the field, via Fusan, Korea, say that
the Japanese attack on the Russians
at Kiaotung resulted in another Rus
sian disaster. Kiaotung is twenty-five
miles from headquarters.

treat became arout. s-The Russian po-
sition was strong and was stoutly de-
Tended for two days. General Keller's
losses are estimated at LOCO. The Jap
ancsc casualties were 424.
The Russians are fortifying new po-
sitols before Molten pass. There were
more men killed i'm the fighting of
Sunday, July II, than can be buried,
and the japanese are now engaged in

If the advance OF Mukden is con-
tinued, heavy lighting is imminent, and
