Vladivostok.

ST. PETERSBURG. September 22.-Capt.
Cladot. Vice Admiral Skyrdloff's chief of
staff. has arrived here from Vladvostok
with important dispatches for the emperor.

gatyr had been completed; that the dam
ages to the armored cruisers Gromboi and
Rossia did not necessitate their going into
dry dock. and that both were fit to resume
active service. He admits that the chief
mission of these vessels is TO prey upon
commerce. but says they had hard fight
with Vice Admiral Kamimura's ships when
the latter attempted to cut off their re-
treat Cladot says the Russians will be
unable to recanture Port Arthur. in the
event of it's fall without having the mas
terry of the sea, and he urges the dispatch

Objects to China Surrendering Suzer-
aintv Over Thibet.

ST. PETERSBURG. September 22-The
Russian protest against the Anglo-Thibetan
treaty. as forecasted In these dispatches
Tuesday. has been presented at Peking. M.
Lessar, the Russian minister, is understood
to have called the attention of the Chinese
foreign board to the fact that China would
abandon her suzerainty over Thibet If she
ratified the treaty, thus creating British
protectorate. The foreign office here has
rot yet received M. Lessar's report. but
the dispatch from Peking to the Morning
Post of London. announcing that China is
not willing to ratify the treaty, is believed
to be the direct outcome of Russias protest.

THE REPORT DENIED.
No Friction Between Gen. Davis and
Chief Engineer Wallace.

.'There is absolutely no foundation in fact
for the charge that friction exists or has
ever existed between Chief Engineer Wal
lace OF the canal commission and Governor
General Davis of the Panama canal zone"
This statement was made and emphasized
by John Seager, private secretary to Chief
Er gineer Wallace, to a reporter for The
Star today upon being shown an interview
with Gabriel Duque.. editor OF the Panama
Star and Herald of Colon, printed in the
New York papers this morning In which
he is quoted as saying: What brought
about his disagreement with Mr. Wallace
was his wishing to combine the roles of
governor, canal builder and everything else.
Mr.. Wallace has now had it clearly stated
to Gen. Davis that he must not interfere in
the work of building the canal, and things
are now quiet. Mr.. Wallace is In supreme
control OF all of the works. :.
Mr. Seager, continuing, said: IT have
