A cR1rsIIING BLOW.

st. Petersburg. Aug. H-Not since the
beginning of the war between Japan and
Russia has anything so obvi usly af-
fected Russian spirits as the gradual re
velation of the extent of the Port Ar
thur squadron's reverse. Details of Rear
Admiral Withoeft's fatal sortie are no'
known to the general public even at this
h ur. though the contents of the report

Gradually permeated official circles In
the course OF the day. and the captains
statement was issued late tonight In the
form of an official rep TT
the Port Arthur squadron fought wha'
probably was the greatest battle of IRON

Construct n. The effort OF the Russians
to fight their way through the Japanese
probably would have been successful had
II not been for the disaster to the battl
ship Czarevi'ch. which compelled the
squadr TO fight a second battle, ending
in the dispersal of the Russian fleet in
the darkness
The Associated Press learns that the
awful mortality among the officers OF
the Czarev'tch. which was merely stated
In the official report. is due to the fact
that Admiral withoeft and most of his
officers were gathered cn the bridge dur
ing the action In order to set an example
to and encourage the men, instead of re-

or wounding every officer on duty there
abouts.
One of the most important features OF
Capt. Matousevitch's dispatch. aside from
fits grimly brief account cf the battle. is
the detailed statement of the makeup OF
Rear-Admral Togo's fleet. which consist
ed of six battleships. eleven cru sers of
various classes and approximately thirty
torpedo-boats. According to this state

force. which Admiral Togo has hitherto
concealed.
Before the Russian fleet emerged from
Port Arthur on August 10 the Japanese
batteries could reach the warsh' ps there
with shells. and the docks were exposed
to a fire the severity of which was in
creasing constantly. 1t is ubted II
these ships will be able to go to sea again
without first undergoing repairs and II is
expected that the Russians themselves
will destroy them before Port Arthur
falls.

of Claims

Constantinople, Aug. a. = Minister
Leishman last Friday saw Tewfk Pa
sha, Turkish minister of foreign affairs
and renewed the urgent representations
of the American vernment for an i'm
mediate settlement OF the demands re-
garding the rights of American citizens
in Turkey. Minister Tewfik Pasha then
proceeded to the palace. This afternoon
the information is given out that the IS
sues between the two countries have been
arranged to the satisfaction of both gov
ernments
The protracted conference appeared to
have settled one of the matters agreed
upon at the time of the Beirut incident,
but never executed. namely the payment
to an American citizen of Smyrna the
sum of $4,000, being the value of land
on which Moslem refugees Illegally set
tied. This am unit will now be paid
The usual attempts were made to in
duce Mr.. Leishman to stop the American
squadron from going to Smyrna by prom
ising an immediate settlement, but the
minister declined to intervene.

but authoritative quarters do mt antici-
pate serious developments. believing the
which, 1t is pointed out, do not exceed
those already granted to the ether pow

Popular opinion betrays some impati-
ence at the alleged American interference
in European affairs. holding that the
ldonroe doctrine should cut both ways.
Naby Bey, c uncillor of the Turkish
embassy. in an interview, says the Amer
lean missionaries are a source of discord
in the Turkish dominions, owing to their
sspousal Of the cause of the Armenian
agitators.
In regard to the raising CT the Ameri-
can legation at Constantinople to the
rank of embassy, Naby Bey says he fears
his would encourage the United States
o meddle in Turkish affairs on the same
footing as the other p wers, and ex-
presses doubts as to whether the Euro
pean powers would approve such con-
summation.
