RUSSIA WILL PROTEST.
Say Japs Had No Right to Attack Tor
pedo Boat at Chefoo.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-The action
of the japanese torpedo boat destroy.
ers in attacking and towing out the
defenseless Russian torpedo boat de
stroyer Ryeshitelni at Chefoo is re
garded in diplomatic circles as being
very grave matter for japan. AS
soon as the facts are officially estab
lished no doubt exists that Russia will
promptly call the attention Of the pow.
ers to this breach of the neutrality OF
China
Aside from the possible questionable
right of an uninjured warship to seek
a sanctuary in a neutral port when not
forced to do SO by stress of weather OF
lack of coal and provisions all the dip
lOmats agree as to the absolute ille
gality Of belligerent ships entering
neutral ports and there committing
hostile acts. The case, SO far as the
facts are known, is considered much
more 1lagrant than that at Chemulpo
where all the foreign commanders e&
cept the commander of the American
Warship there, protested against the
proposal OF the Japanese to enter and
fight the Russian cruis as Variag and
kOrietz in a neutral harbor.
The Associated Press is able to an
nounce that Russia has already for
mally protested to Japan, throug,
France, against the action of the Jap
anese torpedo boat destroyers in at
tacking the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni at Chefoo and tow
ing her away from that port and that

Russians Still Hope Port Arthur Fleet
Has EScaped

EldS ESSdFSOs
st. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-Everything
else, from military standpoint, seems
to be forgotten in the general anxiety
concerning the fate Of the Port Arthur
squadron. The future plans of the
admiralty hang upon the preservation
OF the bulk of the squadron and it is
not too much to say that the present
is regarded as being the most critical
moment Of the war. The admiralty
till noon declared that it was without
official advices as to the whereabouts
OF the squadron and could not confirm
the report that the protected cruiser
Novik and another Russian warship
(the battleship Czarevitch) had put
into TsingchOu, at the entrance of
kiaochau bay, the German concession
on the Shantung peninsula. Never
theless private dispatches seem to
show that the squadron may have been
communicating with Russia after pass
ing the Shantung promontory and hope
is high that the squadron successfully
broke through the japanese ships and
is now steaIning for Vladivostok. The
departure of the squadron in the face
of the superior Japanese fleet is COM
mended by all classes.
