SEIZURE OF THE RYEsHITELNI.
The Russian Side Stated by an o.
fcial

Tho Russian authorities have declined 10
,orr,euv renly to the statement presenting
,ha I.nanese side of the Ryeshitelni affair
e,i,,an tn the Associated Press, August IL
Nevertheless, the Russian we" ol 'he
Iorapese statement was reflected by an
official of the foreign ONCE TO the d.
Petersburg correspondent or the Associ-
ated Press He declared that the state
ment was an attempt by general ASSERTION
10 cloud and distract attention from the
issue raised by the Russian protest. Namely
that japan had directly violated the heu-
trslttv of China by entering the harbor OF
CEefoo, and. in contempt or every prlh-
ciple of international law, committing
hostile act against a Russian vessel Wmch
had been disarmed by the power exercising
sovereignty there, and the protection OF
whose sovereignty she was enjoying. That
in a nutshell, the official declared, was the
issue which Japan could not escape by I'M
supported counter-charges that Russia was
first responsible for the violation of Chinese
neutrality.
The Japanese assertion that a Russian
wireless station had been erected on the
territory of the Russian consulate at Che
foo not admitted. but, assuming 1t TO
be true the foreign office official contended
that the establishment of such communf-
violation of China's neutrality than Japa-
nese' able communication with Shanghai.
In the case of the General Armstrong In

the Portuguese authorities, SO that in OPEN
ing fire upon the English boats instead Of
appealing TO the Portuguese for protection.
the United States itself disregarded Por-
tuguese neutrality and freed Portuguese
sovereignty from an obligation to protect
the ship.
In the case of the Ryeshitelni, on the
contrary. the Russian ship was disarmed
and the protection of the Chinese was ask
ed when the Japanese approached 1t was
only then. China having failed in her duty
to protect and the Japanese having violent

tain and sailors. being without arms. tried
to repel them as best they could with their
fists.
The japanese, instead of applying to
China for any redress simply claimed that
the Ryeshitelni had disregarded Chinese
sovereignty and then took the law into
their own hands.

STRUCK FLOATING MINE
A Russian Destroyer Reported Sunk
and Another Disabled,

TOKYO cable dispatch, dated August Is,
Gays: Five steamers and three torpedo
boat destroyers emerged from Port Arthur
yesterday morning and began the work of
clearing away floating mines. At $40 In
the evening two-funneled torpedo boat
d' stroyer struck mine two miles of
Liaou promontory and sank Immediately
Five minutes later, a second DESTROYER with
four tunnels ran against another floating
mine, which exploded This second vessel
was at once surrounded by other Russian
ships and towed into Port Arthur, the en-
tire notilla accompanying her
These occurrences were seen from vari-
Gus japanese watch towers. The Japanese
cruiser Hashidate also witnessed the ex-
plcsions. The action of the Russians in at
tempting to clear the channel of mines in

TURBINE LAUNCHED.
Largest Vessel Of Its Kind-To Garry
1900 Passengers.

cablegram from Belfast, Ireland, last
night says: The Allan line steamer Vic
tordan. the largest turbine vessel yet built
launched here today. 1t is expected
that she will be ready for service before
the end of the year She Is $40 feet long,
has so feet beam and her depth is 40 feet
inches
The Victorian Is to be fitted in a most
luxurious manner, and is to carry l. 500
passengers, but the chief interest in her
lies in her propeller power. Turbine steam
ers on the Clyde and in cross channel
service have proved very successful, MAIN
ly because they have afforded more COM
fort to passengers, but considerable modi-
fications had to be devised to meet the re-
quirements of the Atlantic service includ-
ing enormous propelling power and great
stopping. backing and steering power.
These difficulties are understood to have
been overcome by Charles A. Parsons, the
engineer who has developed the steam
turbine and made it suitable for the Rener-
alton of electricity and the propulsion of
mercantile and war vessels.
A special arrangement has been devised
for the Victorian's machinery, whereby re-
versing power equal to that of her for
ward propellng power can be impaired to
1t, securing the almost instant arrest of
backing in case it IS needed Her pro-
pellers are three In number, each on a sep
arate length of shafting.
The Victorian will be fitted with q wire
less telegraph apparatus and will carry
a complete printing outfit between decks
Her tonnage is about 1900, and she is ex-
pected to develop about 10000 horse power

Don Amado Chapa, who OWNS
an irrigated farm near Matamoros,
is now installing a new pump and

of ribbon cane, as we'll as his vine
yard and banana groves.
A new department store will soon
be in operation in this city, on the
corner of Doctor Barragan's drug
store. This store is owned by Ge-
ronimo Fernandez & Bro, who are
now making all repairs in readiness
for business on the first of next

Gently arrived from Europe, made
the purchase of a large stock of
goods.
Capt. Manuel Mendoza, who
owns large vineyard miles be-
low Matamoros, his farm known as
San Vicente" is another demon
strator of what can be done with
irrigation. A visit to his farm will
be interesting to make comparisons
with a we'll constituted irrigated
farm. His success has been very
satisfactory, he having fine claret
wine for sale at his place from his
vineyards, which draws great
trade from this city. Another pay
ing crop that he is also giving at
tention to, is ribbon cane, out of
which he makes Piloncillo Mex
lean sugar. which is readily sold
here, besides the alcohol extracted
from the cane which is made into
rum.
