ADMIRAL's NEPoRT DISCUSSED.
No Evidence to Support Rojestvensky's
Contention.

London, Oct. 2S.-The Associated
Press understands that the new phase
introduced into the situation by Ro-
jestvensky's report was the almost ex-
elusive subject of discussion at the
two conferences between Ambassador
Benckendorff and Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne. In consequence the ques-
tion of punishment is held in abey-
ance. Lord Lansdowne, it is stated,
said to Ambassador Benckendorff that
while the circumstances reported by
Rojestvensky were inconceivable to
him he quite understood that the Rus
sian government was bound to take
the word of its own admiral. The opin-
ion expressed to the Associated Press
at the foreign Office was that it is
ridiculous to suppose that two torpedo
boats could lie unnoticed among the
vessels of the fishing fleet There Is
no evidence SO far as the foreign office
Is concerned to support Rojestven-
sky's contention. No opinion, how
ever, could be expressed concerning
the outcome or the method of solving
the difficulty.
The general situation had improved
to some extent during the evening and
1t is considered not improbable that
the whole matter may be submitted
to arbitration

ANGLO.RUSSiAN SITUATION.

The situation growing out of the
action of the Russian squadron in
sinking the British trawlers Is de-
scribed In the days dispatches as
acute, but still capable of a satisfac-
tory adjustment.
The eagerly awaited report of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky has been re-
ceived by his emperor. but his ex-
planation only serves to increase the
mystery and throw an additional SEN
sational feature into the affair. He
says that he was attacked in the dark.
ness by two torpedo craft which came
from the direction of the fishing feet
and that If the fire he directed against
the torpedo boats struck the trawlers
1t was accidental and he expresses his
warm regret at the occurrence.
Russian dispatches place much
stress upon the report as giving an
entirely new aspect to the situation
and point out that the skipper of the
trawler Moulmein, in an interview on
Sunday night, said that two torpedo
vessels approached the feet and that
the firing followed. The report of Carr,
the admiral of the fishing fleet, how
ever, made no mention of this incident.
Ambassador Benckendorff, in an in
terview with Lord Lansdowne, took
exception to the British demand for
the punishment of the offending Off
GERS, maintaining that such punish
ment could only be taken on the spon-
taneous initiative of the emperor and
that such a demand from foreign
power could not be entertained. 1t is
regarded as certain that meeting OF
the British cabinet will be called
shortly and at this the question of
Great Britains adherence to or recess
sion from this demand will be de-
cided.
From the best information 1t is be-
neved that no time limit has been fixed
by Great Britain for compliance with
her demands, but the significant state
ment is made that it Is generally un-
derstood in London that the passage
Of Gibraltar by the Russian fleet will
be barred pending a satisfactory reply.
In the meantime unconcealed activity
prevails in British naval circles.

STORY OF RUSSIAN OFFICER
Fishing Boats Did Not Obey Order to
FLY Their FLAGS.

| Paris, Oct 2S.--A dispatch from
Vigo, Spain, published here. gives an
interview with Prince Keretelli, an
officer on board the Russian battleship
Alexander H., giving details of the
North sea incident. He says:
THE transport Areadaur was enter
ing the waters off Hull when she sud-
denly observed herself to be surround
ed by numerous boats which she took
for torpedo boats. The transport gave
a signal of alarm to the remainder of
the fleet and the Russian battleships
thereupon surrounded the unknown
boats, cutting off their escape. They
were ordered to make known their ma
tionality, but answered only by evolu-
tions. The admiral's ship Immediately
ordered them to be fired upon and then
continued its route without being
alarmed as to the results of the can
nonade, because it was believed the
encounter was with torpedo boats
bought by the japanese in England"
Prince Keretelli added that before
the Russian cannonade began single
cannon shot was distinctly heard COM
ing from the direction of the unknown
boats.

mems story and that the situation re-
quires more light.
The foreign office regards the state
ment of the captain of the Swedish
steamer Alderbaran, now at Geae,
Sweden, from Hull, To the effect that
his ship had been fired upon, as being
very important in indicating that the
Russians had previously fired on a
defenseless ship when there was no
question of the presence of torpedo
boats. 1t is understood that this point
was brought before Ambassador Benck-
endorff. 1t has also been pointed out
to the ambassador that it is practically
impossible for trawlers to move when
their nets are down, so they could not
have got out Of the way of the Rus
sian squadron even if they had been
ordered to do SO.

nrer Thomas j. Chase, charging the
embezzlement of S14 500 from the coun-

masked robbers and himself locked in

from the county treasury into the
court his bond was fixed at $4,000. AS
he was unable to furnish ball. he was
remanded to jail The arrest of Chase
caused no surprise in Meiggs county,
but there is much excitement over in
dictments that are expected to be re-
turned Thursday against other per-
sons. The name of one of these per-
sons is on the lips of all and he has
been suspected as much as Chase him.
self for over a month. Chase claims
that two unknown masked men enter
ed his Office and robbed the safe,
locked him in the vault, and made
their escape in daylight without being
seen by anyone about the courthouse
or in the town. Chase was found
locked up by his daughter. 1t was
shown to the grand jury that at least
half a dozen men were sitting in
front of the courthouse all forenoon of
Sept 8, and saw no strangers
