CHECK WAS SEVERE.

st Petersburg, July 16, 1:35 p.m.-I
Since the receipt from Toxic af an
official denial of the report of a Jap
anese repulse at Port Arthur with the
loss of about $4,000 men, skepdcism
as to the truth of the report from
viceroy Alexieff's headquarters has
pervaded all circles, but the members
of the general STAFF decline to accept
the denial unreservedly. While not
insisting on the accuracy of the fig
ures they claim there is good reason
to believe that severe check was In
flicted on the japanese in front OF
Port Arthur and it is considered pos
sible that General Stoessel may have
made report on the subject direct
to the emperor, who will noh return
here until tonight. Although still Ia
Ignorance as to what the official state
ment meant by from Japanese
sources the officials here maintain
that .Al6xieff must have had good rea-
son to send the report. While 1t is
conceivable that the Japanese them
selves may have spread the report for
the purpose of leading General Kuro-
patkin to believe that they will not
advance any further in Manchuria,
the general staff are not disposed to
regard them as guilty of such Mach
iavelism In spite of the attitude Of
the general staff, who evidently are
reluctant to give up report for
which they are not responsible, the
public ardor has quite cooled down.
The American embassy to-day for
warded to Berlin another list of
names of Japanese prisoners. There
are III at Perm, 10S at Kungur, 80
at Solikamsk and 125 at Tomsk. The
whereabouts of the 800 who were at
sea in the Amur district, and who are
now scattered has not been definitely
established.
