Is expected to be announced in few

There is no confirmation Of the re-
port that the cruisers Pallada and
Diana have reached Nladivostok. The
admiralty has no news this morning
bearing on the whereabouts of the 9TH
er vessels Of the late Admiral Withoft's
squadron. This morning for he first
time. the newspapers were all allowed
10 print the fact that the cruiser Rur-
TX had been sunk. The news was held
back until the government had receive
ed official confirmation from Vladivos-

is summed up by line in Russ: "Rur-
Tx died a hero's death. That is the only
consolation we have"
The report that General Stoessel,
commander at Port Arthur, declined to
capitulate in response, to a japanese
summons creates no surprise. The war
