CzARINA GIVES BIRTH TO SON
EVENT CAUSES GREAT REJOICING
THROUGHOUT THE RUS
SIAN EMPIRE.

st. Petersburg, Aug. IA son and
born. The empress and the child are
doing well.
The people throughout Russia have
been praying for an heir to the throne
and the famous Greek priest, Father
John of Cronstadt. has recently been
visiting the Alexandra villa at inter
walls to join in the prayers for an heir
to the throne of Russia.
The emperor and empress of Russia
formerly Princess Alexis of Hesse)
who were married Nov. IA, 1894, had
previous to the birth Of the child just
born four daughters, Olga, born Nov.
3, 1895; Tatiana, born May 29, 1897;
Marie, born June Ia, 1899, and Anasta-
sia, born June 5. 1901.
The announcement from Peterhof
was Immediately followed by salute
of 101 guns from the imperial yacht
lying at anchor off the palace, but 1t
was 2:45 p. m. when the guns OF st.
Peter and ST. Paul fortress, opposite
the Winter palace here, conveyed the
glad tidings to the people of the Rus
sian capital. The effect was electrical.
With the boom of the first gun the
people in the streets, who had been
momentarily expecting the event for
twenty-four hours, stopped to listen
and count the guns. Only thirty-one
are fired for girl. When the thirty
second doomed and the people were
aware that at last an heir to the
throne was born there were scenes OF
rejoicing everywhere and before the
salute was finished the whole city had
bloomed out with flags and bunting
and the shipping in the harbor was
dressed Then the bells of the churches
began to ring wildly.
In the meantime the announcement
had been telegraphed to the most re-
mote corners of the empire. In all the
towns and cities the glad tidings were
spread with the clangor OF bells and
the booming of cannon. Thanksgiving
services followed in all the churches.

RUSSIA WILL PROTECT.
Say Japs Had No Right to Attack Tor
pedo Boat at Chefoo.


st. Petersburg, Aug. 1S.-The action
of the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers in attacking and towing out the
defenseless Russian torpedo boat de.
stroyer Ryeshitelni at Chefoo is re-
garded in diplomatic circles as being
very grave matter for Japan. As
soon as the facts are officially estab-
lished no doubt exists that Russia will
promptly call the attention of the pow
ers to this breach of the neutrality of
China.
Aside from the possible questionable
right of an uninjured warship TO seek
a sanctuary in neutral port when not
forced to do SO by stress of weather or
lack of coal and provisions all the dip
lomats agree as to the absolute ille-
gality of belligerent ships entering
neutral ports and there committing
hostile acts. The case, SO far as the
facts are known. is considered much
more fragrant than that at Chemulpo,
where all the foreign commanders ex-
cept the commander of the American
warship there, protested against the
proposal of the Japanese to enter and
fight the Russian cruisers Variag and
korietz in a neutral harbor.
The Associated Press Is able to an
nounee that Russia has already for
mally protested to Japan, through
France, against the action of the Jap
anese torpedo boat destroyers in at
tacking the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni at Chefoo and tow
ing her away from that port and that
the protest has been communicated to
the powers.

HAVE NO OFFICIAL NEWS.
Russians Still Hope Port Arthur Fleet
Has Escaped.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-Everything
else, from a military standpoint, seems
to be forgotten in the general anxiety
concerning the fate OF the Port Arthur
squadron. The future plans Of the
admiralty hang upon the preservation
of the bulk of the squadron and it is
not toe much to say that the present
is regarded as being the most critical
moment OF the war. The admiralty
till noon declared that 1t was without
official advices as to the whereabouts
Of the squadron and could not confirm
the report that the protected cruiser
Novik and another Russian warship
1.-THE battleship Czarevitch) had put
into Tsingchou, at the entrance OF
Kiaochau bay, the German concession
on the Shantung peninsula. Never
theless private dispatches seem to
show that the squadron may have been
communicating with Russia after pass
ing the Shantung promontory and hope
is high that the squadron successfully
broke through the Japanese ships and
is now steaming for Vladivostok. The
departure OF the squadron in the face
of the superior Japanese fleet is COM
mended by all classes.
