VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Japanese Are Superior in Strategy and
Workmanship.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The incident
which has impressed the naval experts
i'm recent events i'm the Far East has
been the pursuit of the two Russian
ships and the overhauling of the Novik
off Karsakovsk harbor There was
evidently running fight, with the adj
vantage entirely on the side of the
japanese, who are believed to have
exhibited the better strategy. Another
element which again enters into the
situation and which gives the superior
ity of effectiveness to the Japanese is
the gun fire of their ships.
They have shown in n practical way
that the long distance craftsmanship
Of the japanese is more accurate than
that of the Russians. and ii is probable
that this fact has counted for much i'm
all the engagements. 1t is evident that
the Russian ships, freed from Port Ar
thur, and presumably in as good a con-
dition to fight as the japanese after
their long vigil. We're not nearly the
equal of the Japanese in hitting the
target The relative merit of the OPP
posing forces is illustrated, say the
naval officers here. by the incidents Of
great damage visited upon the Rus
slams and the escape from all injury
reported by the Japanese ships.
The next important news to come
from Manchuria is expected by the
military experts to be the fall of Port
Arthur, although it may not come for
weeks. The dispatches from the Rus
SLAMS at that place. rs given out at st.
Petersburg, do not indicate any seri-
Gus loss of the power of defence. but.
az one officer remarked. we would not
be apt to hear anything of that kind
in advance. The news will probably
come without much warning, and only
when Japanese occupation takes place.

UNDER NO CONDITIONS
Will American Warships Take Hand
in Shanghai Trouble.

Washington. Aug. 24.-Under no con-
ditionS will American warships take a
hand in any trouble at Shanghai be-
tween Japan ana Russia or between
either of the belliGerentS and China.
They viii not interfere to maintain
the integrity OF China nor even to pro-
tect American property or the Ameri-
can colony, which is one of the largest
of the foreign settlements i'm Shanghai.
The dock at which the Russian cruis-
er Ask"ld is lying adjons the American
concession, and an attack on her
would amount to Il bOmbarding of the
American colony. If an attack is
threatened Consul General Goodnow
will demand n delay long enough to let

except file a protest. The question of
indemnity will be left to be disposed
of after the war.
This policy was decided on after n
conference between Acting Secretary
of State Adee and Acting Secretary Of
the Navy Darling, and a telephone con-
sultation with the President at Oyster
Bay.
The order that Admiral Stirling and
Consul General Goodnow keep hands
off came directly from Mr.. Roosevelt.
This applies not only to Shanghai
but to Che Foo. where the obability
OF trouble is indicated. today, and to
all other Chinese ports. Consul Fowler
cabled from Che Foo that the authori-
ties there fear the Japanese will try to
destroy the wireless telegraph station
over the Russian consulate, by which.
the japanese think, communication
with Port Arthur is maintained
If tn" commanders of the two Rus
sian ships at Shanghai decide to so
outside and fight the waiting japanese
ships Admiral Stirling will offer them
safe conduct to the three-mle limit
where Chinese jurisdiction ends-a
simple act of courtesy provided for by
the regulations of all navies. and it is
Admiral Strings prerogative to make
| the offer. because China cannot escort
! the Russians and he has the biggest

NOT MURDERED.
Brothers Meet After One Had Been
Tried for Staying of Other.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug. 24.-Two
brothers, one of whom had been tried
for his life on the charge of numbering
the other, have met unexpectedly at a
hotel in this city. They are Edward
S. Van Lieu. Of this city and Cornelius
S. Van Lieu of Pasadena. Calf. The
meeting has cleared up a mystery of
long standing. and relieved one of the
brothers of n shadow which has rested
upon him for years.
Twenty years ago the brothers had
Quarreled i'm a tavern i'm Oneida county,
n. Y. After the quarrel Edward re-
turned to his home at Vernon Centre
resolved never 10 recognize his brother
again. Cornelius made a like resolu-
ton and having no family determined
to go West and forget. He left with
out seeing any members of his family
or his friends and without giving them
any idea of his plans.
The next day after the departure OF
Cornelius a search began. The search
was in vain. and it was rumored thar
Cornelius had been struck by his
brother and carried away. Edward
was afterward tried i'm the courts of
Oneida county. but set up claim Of
self defense and the jury disagreed.
A second trial followed and he was dis
charged.
Five years ago Edward came West
and located at Grand Rapids. Recent
ly he went to local hotel to meet a
friend on business. While there n
stranger accosted him with the ques-
ton: as this Eddie Van Lieu?"
1T is" was the reply.
Inside of five minutes n despatch was
sent to the aged mother in Oneida
county, n. Y, and another to the OneI-
da county authorities. informing them
of happy reunion. The brothers have
decided to prove cOnclusively that
Cornelius still lives.

RUSSIAN CRUISER DISARMAMENT
Reason to Believe Decision Is About
to Be Taken.

Paris, Aug. 24.-There Is reason to
believe that decision Is about to be
taken providing for the voluntary dis
armament of the Russian cruiser AS
kold and the torpedo boat destroyer
GroZovoi now at Shanghai. and the
Russian cruiser Diana at Saigon. This
will be done primarily to avoid inter-
national complications and will have
the effect of reducing the Russian
strength by three strong units. but the
Russian authorities consider that this
will be upset by the avoidance of the
possible capture of the vessels named
by the Japanese.
Advices received here from Saigon
show contrary to previous announce
mentS that the Diana is in a very bad
condition. She has one large hole in
her hull below the water line. Her
injuries will take weeks to repair. This
would nave permitted an extension OF
her sojourn in a neutral port beyond
the "a hours which expired, Tuesday.
nut II is foreseen that the repairs
would entail such a stay at Saigon thar
II Is possible that questions affecting
the neutrality of the port would be

disposed to disarm the Diana which

IN BAD CONDITION.
Port Arthur Garrison Continues to
Keep Up Spirit.

Washington, Aug. 24.-That the Port
Arthur garrison continues to keep up
it's spirit in spite of the increasing
stringency of the siege. is the tenor of
news received in Washington. Advices
received. presumably with the arrival
of the attaches at Che Foo. are to the
effect that there are still three months
provisions in Port Arthur.
on their return to the harbOr after
the last sortie and their engagement
with Admiral TOgo's fleet, the battle
ships were found to be in a deplorable
condition. Great damage was done
both to their machinery and guns. and
the dockyard artificerS and equipment
are but i'll able to make the necessary
repairs. such as have hitherto been eff
fected during the blockade. 1t is there
fore doubtful whether the battleships
can be depended on to make a fresh
SOrtie.
The cruiser Rayan. however, is re-
ported to be in fair condition, and out
of the II torpedo boats 10 are i'm an
efficient state. This is almost the only
trustworthy information received lately
from the inside of Port Arthur.
