Martial Law at New Chwano.
New CAwang. March 2S.-The civil
administrator late yesterday notified all
the foreign consuls and residents, at
Viceroy Alexieff's order. of placing the
city and port of New Chwang under
martial law. explaining that it has been
SO ordered for the purpose of safe
guarding the commercial interests Of
the port.
The opinion of leading foreign off,
Gals is that although the rights of
neutrals remain unaltered by the
treaty, Russia assume the power to
annul these rights, rendering the posi-
ton of the foreign consuls untenable.
The order is regarded as an apparent
challenge to neutral powers especially
to China. on account of the nppropria-
ton Of her territory, and that 1t renders
the United States gunboat Helena and
tthe British cruiser Espiegle liable to an
order to cave the port. The consuls
will await further Instructions from
their governments. The property and
trade interests of foreign residents are
prepared to be abandoned.
Order Causes Trouble.
New Chwang. March 2s.-The foreign
consuls had a conference with the civil
administration today. The latter in
formed them the full intention Of Rus
sia's order of yesterday was to proclaim
martial law. also to an.ul all consular
jurisdiction. and that he same already:
was annuiled. {.
The British consul interpreted the or.
der as not declaring martial law. Other
consuls We're unable yesterday to com
prehend Russia's intention. The admin
istrator agrees with the consuls to sus-
pend rigid enforcement Of said order
until the foreign governments act, in
order to lessen complications.
Americans here call attention to the
apparent defeat Of American aims re-
garding the placing of consuls in Man
churia. By an execution of Russia's
order the American and British flags
were today removed by the Russian
military from the property Of citizens
of the American or British nationality.
Looking Towards Great Britain
st. Petersburg. March 2S.-The pa
perS are all discussing the possibility Of
better relations between Russia and
Great Britain through the ~intermedia-.
ton OF France. The Novost continued
to insist that absence Of conflicting in
terests is bound to bring Great Britain
IL Russia together, as their alliance
would be Of enormous value to both.
General Kuropatkin has left his train
at Mukden, and is proceeding to Liza
Yang. whence it is now believed he will
proceed to the front for inspection of
the troops, his visit to Port Arthur be-
ing temporarily postponed.

the Japanese skirmishers are more en-
terptising and more outpost affairs may
