however. are receiving the earnest at
tentiOn OF the cabinet All the inforna-
ton received at the japanese legation
which, however, is not official, tends to
establish the fact that the japanese
torpedo boat oestroyers entered Chefoo
for the purpose of ascertaining if the
Ryeshitelni was really dismantled and
unable to take part in future opera
tons, that the Japanese boats crew
was attacked by the Russians and that
the Japanese replied in self-defense.
and that seeing the Ryeshitelni was
able to continue military operations she
was towed out to sea.
This version does not agree with the
original reports received by the British
foreign Office, in which the Japanese
appear to have been the aggressors.
The British government. the AsSOci-
ated Press is informed. has eyinced a
desire that Japan should do nothing to
east doubt on the neutrality of China.
and has expressed confidence that ia

by subordinate officials
At the Chinese legation It was said

but il was believed that the japanese
government would not fail to observe
its pledge TO respect the neutrality OF
China. and, If necessary. go to the ex-
tent of returning the Ryeshitelni to
ChefOO. The legation fears that unless
Japan makes reparatiOn Russia may
refuse TO observe Chinese neutrality in
the future. 1t is this aspect of the in
cideDt which moved the British govern

IeVed either in government or diplO-

y a. ma Russian account of
the latest naval battle between
the japanese and Russian fleets indi-
Gates that the Japanese torpedo boats
sustained their previous reputation for
daring by making a daylight attack
upon a squadron in battle formation
and admits the effectiveness of these
frail. daring craft, which seriously i'm
peded the movements of the Russian
fleets.
The wording Of the official report that
the battleship Czarevitch turned TO
try to so in the direction of NladiVo-
stock arouses some comment here
Assuming, as the report seems to in
dictate, that the battle was off the
ShanEung peninsula, the turning of the
Czarevitch 10 go towards Vladiyostok
would most probably indicate that the
remainder Of the squadron was SoinS
back in the direction Of Port Arthur
A Possibility.
At Tho. same time the report that the
day after the battle four Russian bat
tleships were sighted of Shanghai
makes it possible that the battle oc-
CURED further south in the Yellow sea
than the report OF Captain Matouse-
witch indicates and that when the
Czarevitch lost sight of the remain
der of the squadron" the Russian
fleet was actually proceeding south.

The fact that the crushing nature Of
the blow 10 the Russian fleet was large

which prompted the squadron 10 halt

grim satisfaction and regret Is mingled
with admiration for the brother officers
who threw away their only chances of
escape rather than desert the crippled
Distress of Russia.
The distress caused by the squadron's
failure To get away has heightened, if
possible. the bitter resentment felt over
the conduct of the japanese in the
Ryeshitelui affair and the AIikadO's
orders TO allow n0n-com balants to leave
Port Arthur merely deepens the pain

belief of the highest Japanese author

The Russians are inclined TO regard
the Ryeshitclni affair as rejecting Un-
favorably on Chinese neutrality The
Chinese admiral at Chefoo is criticised
for allowing the Japanese torpedo boats

the Chinese should have taken of the
