Confirms Rerort of Capture Of British
Shin

SOHHTsnS FHCFOft OF -aFtQr6 o. 0FtttSh
Ship.
Washington. July 25.--A fact devel-
oped today which might have led to
serious complications had 1t not been
announced earlier that the Russian
government had given orders for the
release at Suez of the British ship Ar
dova, which had on board "a large
quantity of supplies being shipped by
the war department to the Philippine
government, including about $50 tons
of powder and much other material
that would fall within the Russian
definition of contraband. The stores
We're being shipped thru the house of
George w Peabody. OF New York and
the Orient. who telegraphed the war
department that the Philippine stores
were aboard the Ardova and asked the
department to exert itself to secure
their release. The application was
taken at once by Acting Secretary
Oliver to the state department. but in
view of the intended release of the Ar
dova it is improbable that any action
viii be taken by the department.
A Complicated Case.
The case of the knight Commander
lis regarded here as complicated and
difficult of treatment although a more
complete statement of facts is expected
to simplify the problem. 1t is appre-
hended that II the contention of the
shippers agents that the cargo con-
tained no coutraband is correct the
general doctrine of neutral flag covers
neutral goods has been violated by the
destruction of the ship and cargo. As
for the Knight Commander herself the
state department probably will leave to
the British government the adjustment
OF -ny issue with Russia growing out
of her sinking.
AS some surprise has been expressed
at the reports of the sinking by RUS
sian cruisers OF defenseless merchant
ships. instead OF taking them into port
1t may be stated that the general naval
opinion here iustifies the course In the
event that the Russian war ships, as is
suspected. have not enough men aboard
to furnish prize crews to conduct the
captured ships to the nearest port.
This is a desperate course, and accord
inc. to the national view here is full of
risk for the Russians who must be
prepared to pay in fun and in cash for
any maritime property belonging to the
citizens of neutral power, able to
demonstrate that prize goods We're not
subject to seizure under the rules of a
prize court.

st. Petersburg, July 26.-The Japan
ese advance against kuropatkins ar
mics seems at last to have begun in
earnest. They are moving up strongly
from the south and have captured Kan
pass on the road to Haicheng. A
northern movement is also reported,
but the objective of the Japanese at
present seems to be Haicheng. Official
news received here shows fighting at
Tatchekiao and to the southwark has
been progressing for several days. Ac-
cording to the latest reports the Rus
sians had not evacuated Tatchekiao,
but were falling back on that place.
The fighting continues as rear guard

1t is admitted they amount to several
hundred men. Kuropatlsin reports a
continuation of the advance of the
