ENGLAND SUMMONS naval FORCES while
RUSSIA WAITS TO EXPL LAIN THE OUTRAGE

throughout the night, After escaping
from the hostile crowd that met him
at the station, Count Benkerdorff, Rus
sian ambassador, drove at gallop to
the embassy, Half dozen rowdies
followed him but he arrived unframed,
HIS pursuers encountered q Gordon Of
police that had been dispatched TO
suard the embassy. After singing
Rule BRITANNIA the disturbers dis
persed. no arrests being made, but the
police continued to guard the embassy
as if it were British fortress. The
ambassador last night summoned his
secretary. Mirsky. to write long cipher
messages to st, Petersburg, Gescrib-
ing last nights hostile demonstrations.
The ambassador would make no state
ment but it is said the dispatch may
increase the existing delicacy of the
situation. Secretary Mirsky made a
statement in which he pronounced the
attack on the trawlers n great mis-.
take. He did not believe that either
the incident or last nights affair is
likely to produce clash between the
two powers.
