Two Destroyers Followed the Russian
Vessel Into Port.

Che Foo, Aug. II. a. m.-TwO large
japanese torpedo boat destroy srs-

darkness last night. showing no lights
and anchored a quarter Of mile from
the Russian torpedo boat destroyer

pondent of the Associated Press was
not allowed to board the japanese yes
sells. The japanese officers said they
would depart at daylight.
It is understood that sab, the chi
nese admiral. discovered the presence
OF the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers and presented the same demands 10
them that he had earlier given 70 me

COMPELLED TO DIsARM.
Destroyer Will Remain ia Chefoo I'm
til After the War.


Che Foo. Aug. II, II D. m.-The cap
tain of the Ryeshitelni does not deny
that the Russian waTships have gone
to join the Vladivostok squadron. BE
simply refuses TO answer questions on
the subject claiming il would be i'm
proper for Kim to do so.
Other sources affirm that absolutely
all the big ships, except the Bayan,
which is injured. left Port Arthur yes
terday exchanging shots with The Jap
anese fleet at long range, AM tt seems
likely that the long expected junction
of the two Russian squadrons viii nSw
occur.
Shortly after the arrival of The Ryes-
kitelni here the Chinese admiral, Sab,
sent an officer on board who demanded
that the destroyer either leave the
port or disarm- It had previously been
ascertained that her engines were dis
abled. The captain Of the Ryeshiteini
agreed to render the engines absolutely
useless and to disarm in such 2 man
ner as Admiral Sab demanded.
The following is a list of the arTla =
ment submitted: One 70 miliimeter
gun. four seven millimeter guns; two
torpedo tubes, thirteen rifles aud two
revolvers. with d full supply of am
munition.
Tie captain of the Ryeshitelni re-
quested the Chinese admiral 80 indi-
cate a position nearer the shore where
the destroyer might lie until the end Of
the war under the protection Of the
Chinese government.
The Ryeshitelni shows the effects Of
long service Her paint is scratched
and fading 10 yellow, owing TO expos
ure to the sun, and her deck resent
bles a machine shop, but she has not
been damaged by guniire although il is
stated that the ship was exposed con-
stantly for three months TO the fire Of
the japanese.
The passengers of the Rysshitelni in
clude two women, one of whom is said
to be the wife of General StOessel-
This, however, is denied
It is evident that grave reasons
caused the Ryeshitelni to undertake
her hazardous voyage. Presumably
