Merchant Vessels by the RUS
SLAMS Near Yokohama.

Yokohama. July 26.-Capt. Brown.
Of the steamship Tsinan, which
brought the crew OF the steamer
Knight Commander into port, says
that the knight Commander met three

Russian officers who boarded the
Knight Commander took her captain
back with them and ordered the crew
Of the knight Commander to come on
board one of the Russian warships
within ten minutes The Russians
then sank the Knight Commander.
The sinking Of the Knight Com
mander without trial is considered
here to be an act Of savagery and as
affording grounds for apprehension az
to the treatment by the Russians OF
other neutral vessels.
Toxic, July 26.-The acts Of the
Vladivostok squadron in the Pacific and
of the volunteer feet in the Red sea
strengthen the belief here that Russia
Is deliberately seeking to affront
America, England and Germany in the
hope of finding an avenue for grace
fully retiring from a disastrous war.
There Is no argument over the right OF
Russia to seize neutral vessels carry
ing actual. contraband Of war, but the
wisdom of destroying neutral prizes
without trial, unless the object is to
involve other powers, is generally ques-
toned.
