London, Oct. 26-The Russian re-
ply to Great Britain's note on the sub
ject of the North sea tragedy has
been received by the British govern
ment. 1t expresses deep regret at the
occurrence and promises full repara-
ton as soon as the official report is
received from Rojestvensky The re-
ply was received by Ambassador
Benckendorff during the night ami
forwarded to Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe in the shape of a formal let
ter in which the ambassador on cab
led instructions from St. Petersburg
gave the above assurances, adding
that while the Russian government
at the time of cabling was still with
out official knowledge from it's own
sources of the occurrences in the
North sea it feels certain that it was
an error and it wishes at once to eX-
press regret and assure the British
government that full compensation
will be made as soon as the details
are received.
Foreign Secretary LansdOwne con-
siders Russia's reply in it's present
form incomplete, and especially n
it's failure to grant Great Britain S
demand for punishment of such Off
GERS as might be found responsible.
Lord Lansdowne said late this after
noon, however that he trusted the
matter would be settled within TWEEN
ty-fOur hours.
