Paris, June 3.-The correspondent
of the Echo de Paris at st. Petersburg
telegraphs:
"Viceroy Alexieff and General XII
ropatkin having asked the emperor
to settle their dispute, his majesty
summoned a council Of war, lnclud-
ing Minister Of War Sakharoff, Marine
Minister Avellan and Minister Of the
Interior Plehve. The council debated
for several hours at Tsarskoye Selo.
II have reason to believe that the
necessity Of preserving the naval base
at Port Arthur and the loss ofnpres-
tige that the fall Of Port Arthur
would entail were the arguments
which prevailed in the council. Gen.
eral Kuropatkin has, therefore, been
advised to attempt to relieve the for
tress, but to act with the greatest
prudence. A general whom I inter-
viewed on the subject of the council
said: '".>~ 49,. 'ru ...s,. s"-"
eff Kuropatkin is weak enough
to advance he will commit serious
blunder. The number of his troops
is insufficient and the conditions un-
der which he would act are unfavor-
able. He might meet an almost ir-
reparable reverse and Port Arthur be
further from relief than ever. If we
try to relieve Port Arthur we will be
doing exactly what the Japanese
hOpe.'"

AMERICAN GIRL
HELD AS A SYP
Nellie Jordan Of Ohio, Arrested,bJ
Japs at Nagasaki, Reaches
Home.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
Bellefontaine, Ohio, June 3.-After
experiencing a series Of stirring ad-
ventures in Siberia and Japan, Gull
minating in her arrest and detention
in Nagasaki as Russian spy, 16-year-
old Nellie Jordan, daughter of Lewis
Jordan of this city, has reached her
home here.
At the opening Of hostilities between
Russia and Japan Miss Jordan and
her mother were residents Of Vladi-
vostok, where the girl had lived since
she was years old. She lett Vladl-
vostok with the exodus OF japanese
and foreign residents.
With her mother she was one Of the
last of the refugees to leave that place
before the institution Of martial law
by the Russians. Her father, Lewis
Jordan, had left week before by the
Trans-Siberian railroad.
Miss Jordan is the first American
women to have come into actual con-
tact with the present struggle in the
far east, and it is entirely due to the
fact that she is an American citizen
that she Is with her family to-day in
stead of in Nagasak as prisoner Of
war.
When Mrs. Jordan and her daugh-
ter took passage on the steamer S1lka,
bound for Nagasaki, the harbor of
vladivostok was thick with Ice, which
had to be cut to make Roadway. Dur
ing the trip to Nagasak1 the vessel was
under constant surveillance, and
searchlights being thrown from the
shore by the Japanese.
When the harbor Of Nagasaki was
sighted Mrs. Jordan and her daughter
believed their troubles were over.
Greater ones were in store, however
as when the steamer came to anchor
it was boarded by an armed force OF
Japanese marines, who seized the YES
sci and arrested Miss Jordan as a Rus
sian spy. The captains papers were
taken, the Japanese declaring that war
had been proclaimed.
For two days the vessel was held
and the only response Miss Jordan
could gain to inquiries was that he1
arrest had been ordered from Toxic
from whence orders were awaited
Her release was ordered when the Of
ficers were convinced she was ar
American. .... ..
