WITHOUT PROPAGATION.
Claimed That Russians Sank British
Steamer Hipsang.

Shanghai. Aug. 23.-The finding of
the naval court of inquiry in the case
of the British steamer Hipsang was
delivered. Tuesday morning. The Hip
sang was torpedoed and sunk, July IS,
while passing Pigeon bay. The find
ings of the court are as follows:
"A Russian torpedo boat destroyer
now identified as the Ratstoropuy,
came up at daylight with the Hipsang,
whose lights were burning brightly and
which had the British flag flying. The
destroyer fired shells, killing and
manning passengers. The Hipsang
stopped directly, but the Russian ves-
sci fired torpedo, sinking hey. There
was no contraband aboard her nor any
Japanese. Her captain was expert
enced and he acted perfectly correct.
1.-The consul desires to call attention
to the board of trade and the foreign
residents that the steamer while pro-
ceeding with due caution and in her
correct course was torpedoed and sunk
without any just cause or reason. The
loss of life was due to the shell fire
previous to the torpedoing of the YES
sci. These acts were done by the Rus
sian destroyer No. q"

to advices brought here from Port Ar

pressing the Russian center along the
railway and the Russian right in the
vicinity of Golden Hill. These advices
are brought by Chinese who departed
from Taipangtse. which is one mile
from the city, near Golden Hill, be-
tween the city and the forts of the
Russian right wing.
The Chinese declare that the Japan
csc occupied Taipangtse and penetrated
along the railway to Gen. StOessel's
residence on Aug. q.

Port Arthur had all but fallen the Jap

previous reports that the Russians
have been driven from Itszhan and
that the japanese are very close to the
southern forts and the eastern de-
fences.
The local Japanese, under the leader
ship of their consul, are subscribing
money and preparing to celebrate the
expected fall Of the fortress.
The Chinese who arrived, Tuesday,
further report that a Russian warship
was hit by a shell recently and sunk
in the harbor.
A report was cabled several days ago
that gunpoat of the Otvajano type

PORT ARTHUR DOOMED.
Russians Make Admissions But Claim

st. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-12.35 P. NJ
Despite the popular feeling that Port
Arthur Is doomed, the success with

beating off the Japanese assaults and
the heavy losses suffered by the be-
siegers offer considerable encourage

ing matters has doubtlessly been to re-

The naval critic of the Viedomost

coast IL the report should confirm
that the Smolensk was the vessel which
made the examination, then a vigorous
protest will be made through Ambas-
sador Hardinge.
According to the British officials. she
has. in examining the steamers papers
violated the assurances given by the
Russian government that neither she
nor the st. Petersburg would be USED
again as men -of-war
The Russian embassy has not been
advised of the overhauling of the
Comedian and Is inclined to doubt that
the Smolensk was connected with it
in view of the specific instructions is
sued by the admiralty at st. Peters,
burg.
1t is conceded in both diplomatic cir
cles and at the foreign office that it
is desirable to obtain all the facts be-
fore formally raising a question which
may develop into an important inter-
national dispute.
In the case of the British steamer
Hipsang sunk by the Russians off Port
Arthur, the government officials here
saw they have no doubt that Russia
will pav an indemnity thereby settling
the incident.
The Russian diplomats regard the
proclamation of the governor of Nal
