Russian Authorities Highly Pleas
ed With it Regarding Neutral
Commerce Situation.
SECY HAYS PRAISES SOUNDED.
His Course in Sounding Powers To-.
stead Of Sending Brusque Note
Commended.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.--(7:40 a. ND
The satisfaction of the Russian au-
thorltes at the forbearanoe Of the
forbearance of the United States gov
eminent In connection with the neutral
commerce situation is echoed In an
editorial in the Novoe vremya this
morning which says the United States
Is naturally much interested in the
declaration that foodstuffs are contra
band and points out that rice was made
contraband during the Franco Chinese
war. The paper says II is extremely
difficult to draw the line, once the pro-
hibition OF war food supplies Is broach-
ed, but it expresses the hope that 1t
viii be possible, even IN the face Of the
difficulties existing, that some way may
be found of meeting the wishes Of the
United States In this direction.
HIGH PRAISE FOR HAY.
ST. Petersburg, 9ug, 6.--Q2;56 p. ND
The Novoe Vremya today published
leading editorial entitled THE Discre-
ton OF the Washington Diplomats,
which says:
This is all the more agreeable as the
Washington state department has not
always observed such righteousness
when dealing with Russia
"This time" the editorial continues,
"Secy. Hay, according to the dispatches,
has taken the consideration Of the
seizure of American goods bound for
Japan with circumspectlon, endeayor-
ing to avoid raising side ISSUES ana
keeping IN view the sole object OF as
suring protection for American trade In
the far east to the extent permitted by
international law In time Of war Mr.
Hay has taken n pralseworthy step In
sounding the powers through the
American representative abroad re-
garding the seizures, instead or
forwarding brusque note to Russia
through the American ambassador
here. This leads us TO hope that no
serious Misunderstanding will arise be-
tween ST. Petersburg and Washington
America is chiefly interested In our
declaration that foodstuffs are contra
band, and the Washington government
seems not especially inclined to insist
on the exclusion Of all foodstuifs as
contraband. only insisting that food
stuffs to be contraband must be des-
tined directly for the use of the mill
tary forces OF "A belligerent. 1t may
not be difficult to convince Washing
ton OF cases in which foodstuffs osten-
sibly intended for private persons can
pass into the hands Of the military af
ter being delivered to private persons
or better still, perhaps the dlplomatlsts
may be able TO suggest some method
guaranteeing that foodstuffs shall not
pass TO beligerent force"
The editorial concludes as follows
"In view of the considerably dis
Greet handling OF this question, and the
manifest desire OF both sides to avoid
exaggeratng 1t into an Incident II is
possible to bring both points OF view
into accord"

PORT ARTHUR'S FALL CERTAIN.

Cheefoo.
REINF0RCEMENTS ARE SENT laps
But None for Garrison-Gen. Stoessel
Compelled to Husband His Ammu.
nitiou-Eyery Casualty Counts.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 6,--Gen. Kuro~
patkin reports that the Japanese adj
vanced 10 miles north of Hal Cheng
Thursday and that they are also adj
vancing In considerable force from
Pahulsla tKutsia) on the Russian east
flank. The japanese were concentrated
in the neighborhood Of Hulungou and
considerable forces OF japanese at
Houtsiatae and Slkseyan crossed to the
right bank OF the Taitse river, but were
driven back.
PORT ARTHUR WILL FALL.
Chefoo, Aug @ p. M Port Ar
thur certainly viii Tall inside Of one
or two months depending how fast the
japanese move"
This opinion was expressed today by
an educated Russian who has just ar.
rived here from Port Arthur by junk.
He had IS companions, and the party
left the Russian stronghold six days
ago. They suffered much hardship on
the trip over from a lack OF food and
water.
The Russian who voiced the foregoing
opinion occupied an important semi
official position at Port Arthur, and his
Views are regarded as valuable. He
says that while the Japanese constants
ly receive achievements, every RUS
sian casualty decreases the defensive
efficiency of the garrison as the Rus
slams cannot be reinforced. Gen. stoes-
sell commander-ln-ohlef at Port Arthur,
is compelled to husband his ammunl-
ton. He can manufacture shells but II
is impossible to make proper explosives.
The necessity Of protecting the men
for final stand explains the retreat OF
the Russians from the strong outpost
positions, where their losses were far
less serious than those sustained by the
assailants.
According 10 this Russian. Gen. stoes-
sci is in daily communication with Gen.
Kuropatkin.
The three days lighting OF last week
was done chiefly with artillery.
