st. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-Advicep
from Lieutenant General Stoessel and
Rear Admiral Wren, brought by the
Russian torpedo boat destroyer Ras
toropny to Chefoo from Port Arthur,
have reached the emperor, but have
not yet been made public. The great
Importance OF the information is ap
parent from the fact that the TORPEDO
boat destroyer was deliberately sacri.
feed in order to get the communica-
tons from the beleaguered garrison.
The only word which has reached the
admiralty is q telegram from the cap
tain OF the Rastoropny announcing his
arrival with official dispatches. An at.
tempt of the Japanese to repeat the
Ryeshitelni incident in Chinese waters
is confirmed. The captain reports that
the Rastoropny will be disarmed and
hauled out on the shore to prevent the
possibility of the Japanese entering
the harbor and forcibly towing her
out.
Dispatches from the Russian consul
at Chefoo and from the agent of the
finance ministry, reporting the arrival
OF the destroyer at Chefoo, although
they throw little light on the situa-
ton at Port Arthur, do not, indicate a
crisis. The iatter's dispatch is brief,
simply saying the Rastoropny reports
all well at Port Arthur. a."
The Associated Press later learned
from high placed general, who was
with the emperor during the afternoon
and who knows the contents of Gen
eral Stoessel's message, that all the
talk about General Stoessels asking
for instructions to surrender is abso-
lutely false. He said he was not at
liberty to disclose the nature of Gen.
eral Stoessel's report. but he remark.

Paris, Nov. 17.-The stability OF the
entire cabinet is considered to be Sc
riously threatened by the resignation
Of the war minister, General Andre.
Reports are in circulation that Marine
Minister Penetan, Foreign Minister
Delcasse and other ministers are about
to resign, but those who are close to
these ministers say the reports are
unfounded. However, 1t is conceded
that the cabinet as whole is not like
ly to survive long, The private view
Of some of the best Informed persons
within ministerial circles is that new
cabinet will be formed IN the course
OF the next three weeks. It is consid-
cred certain that Foreign Minister
Delcasse will remain in the reorgan-
Used cabinet. ~,. ,.,-,Ir.
