D1sMANTLED RUSSIAN VESSELS.
Japan Will Claim Russian Ships at
Close of the War.
!, Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, August 22.-A cable dis
patch from Tokyo says: Commenting on
the action of Russian warships in taking
refuge al Shanghai and Kiao Chau, Ashai
mair tains that there is vase difference be-
tween soldier and warship. Disarming rem
ders the former a n-combatant, while
the latter remains an implement of war.
Consequently the action Of the latter in
taking refuge and disarming in a neutral
port does not give it permanent protection.
The contrary theory would destroy the OBJ
ject of a sea fight, which is the destruction
of the enemy's navy. For this reason the
present arrangement by which the fugitive
Russian ships are disarming in neutral
ports, where they will remain until the
close of the war; ought to be regarded as
q temporary measure only. Japan'S acQu.-
escence in the arrangement is only to avoid
increasing the complications as to the
rights of belligerents and neutrals. This
acquiescence does not affect the status of
the disarmed vessels, which are legitimate
ly Japan's prizes, and will be claimed by
her at the end of the war.

Major Hoffman, the German military at

War Notes From Tokyo.
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK, August pa cable dis
patch from Tokyo says: The Japanese au-
thorities do not credit the report of the
occupation of Anshanshan, twenty-five
miles south of Lao Yang, by Japanese
troops. There are still five Russian divi-
sons there. The Russians On the Yuchu-
lin and Lao Yang road do not show any
signs of evacuating their positions.
1t is reported that the Russians have
laid many mechanical mines outside Port
Arthur. Last night the Russian ships
came out and passed the night below the
Lao Tishan peninsula. Evidently the jap
anese bombardment had made their posi-
ton in the harbor uncomfortable.
A severe storm occurring at the time Of
the sinking of the Russian cruiser Novik
by japanese cruisers prevented the Japa-
nese from rescuing the Novik's crew.
