Russian Cruiser Novik Left Using
chou-Other Ships.

BERLIN, August 13.-The Russian pro-
Iected cruiser NoTik left Tsngchou, at the
entrance of kiaochou bay. the German con-
cession on the Shantung peninsula, where
she arrived Thursday night within the
twenty-four hour limit, according to an Of
fetal dispatch to the Navy Department
from the governor of Kiaochou. Several
other Russian vessels are still in the har-
Dor in a disabled condition.
The German government is not willing
that the names of these ships and the de-
tails of the damages should be published on
official authority. because such intelligence
might be considered inconsistent with neu-
trality and affordng Japan valuable In
formation.
The instructions sent to Tsingchou permit
the disabled Russian vessels to repair suf-
nciently to proceed to another port, but the
repairs must be strictly limited to making
them seaworthy and not TO increasing their
lighting capacity.
Admiral Won PrittwitZ. the commander OF
the German naval forces In far eastern

chou to prepare to enforce Germanys neu-
trality against either belligerent.

DENVER, Col. August Ex-senator T.
NJ. Patterson of Colorado has gone to Nav
aio Springs to meet the chiefs of the Ute
nation and try to make arrangements with
them whereby they will convey to the
United States government the tract known
as the Mesa Varde lands and it's ancient
ruins. These ruins are Of inestimable value
as prehistoric studies, and the present
movement is the result of an amendment
to the Indian appropriation bill, which
gives the President the right to negotiate
for the purchase Of the lands and looks to
the preservation of the ruins.
There will be representatives of the
various departments at this meeting be-
sides Mrs. Gilbert McClurg, president of
the Society for the Preservation of Cliff
Dwe1iers' Ruins; Agent Peterson of the
Utes and Senator Patterson. ..-,
The ruins cover an area of twenty miles,
