American svarsnlps No Sooner Arrive Than They Are Ordered Away.

Chefoo. Feb. 21.-The United States cruiser New Orleans and the gunboats Wilmington and Annapolis, which sailed from Manila on February 15 under con1- mand of Rear Admiral Cooper, upon arriving here received orders from the secretary of the navy to return to Shanghai.

Port Arthur, New Chwang and Laio Yang to prevent the threatened landing of the Japanese troops. A big force of men is at work on the damaged vessels in the Port Arthur harbor and efforts are being made to raise the bat tlesfliu Retzivan.

TO RELIEVE FRENCH BoURsE'
measures Taken in Paris to Prevent
 Repression.

Paris. Feb. 21.-Prominent financiers have been in consultation to-day and measures were taken which will be put into operation tomorrow to prevent continuance of the depression which since the opening of the war in the east and particularly during Friday and Sat- urday last, characterized the bourse. The government is assisting these ef- forts by positively denying that there is any ground for alarm over further com plications.
 The serious result Of the weakness is shown by the estimates of securities listed on the bourse which have dimfn- ished in value about 1,0OO, 900. 900 within
 the past two weeks Since February 6 French rentes dropped three francs 97 centimes; English consolss 2 francs 25 centimes: Spanish exteriors, II francs 10 centimes. Russian consols, francs; Brazilian As, 5 francs 30 centimes; Bank of Paris, 9S francs: Credit Lyonnais, S7
 francs; Suez, 200 francs: Thomson Houston. 50 francs, and Rio Tinto. 64 francs.
 It is recognized that something must he done to stop the reckless effort to sell All the financiers who discussed the matter to-day united in stating that the crisis was pre- -erninently produced by speculation based upon the general fear. of complications arising out of the war between Russia and Japan.
 The financiers propose to act together to uphold the market tomorrow and this. taken with the denial of the sen- sational reports from Berlin and Madrid and by the government here, is expected to bring about a reaction or at least to produce a firnler market.

KURoPArK1N,s APPoINTMENT.
St. Pstersburg says It Has Been Res
 celvsd with General EnthnsIasm.


 St. Petersburg Says It Has Been Res
 celvsd with General EnthnsIasm. St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-The appoint ment of General Kuropatlin, who was yesterday relieved of his functions as minister of war, to the chief command of the Russian army in the far east, was gazetted to-day.
 With the possible exception of Gen. eral Dragomiroff, formerly governor general oe Kieff and later member of the council of state, General Kuropat- kin is the most popular man in the Rus sian army. As a bluff old soldier who has fought his way up from the bottom to be minister of war. he is the ideal of the enlisted men. No one in the czar's army has seen more fighting. To find deserving subaltern and to give him a chance for promotion has always been his care.
 The appointment of General Kuropat- kin to direct command in the field has been received with enthusiasm, and his leadership inspires confidence.
 General Kuropatkin will be accom- panied to the front by the Crank Dukes Boris. Alexis, Nicholas and Michael Michael NilSolaievich.
 The emperor and the empress gave a farewell luncheon to-day to General Kuropatkin and the grand dukes at the Alexandra palace.
 The exact mission of Grand Duke Alexis is unknown. but it is undoubt- edly an important one, as he has been in supreme command of the Russian navy as president of the board of ad- miralty, taking an active part in the ne- gotiations preceding hostilities. He presided at the special councl which prepared Russia's undelivered reply to Japan. Alexis paid menorably pleas an. visit to the United States when a young man. His career as high admiral is we'll known and brilliant.
 The grand duke is now in very bad health. but if his health permits he may exercise general direction of the naval movements in the far east.
 Grand Duke Boris is a lieutenant of Hrssars and is considered an excellent soldier. He is likely to distinguish him. sels in battle and probably will be on the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas. Af- ter Boris returned from the United statesc be bought the palace formerly occupied by Ambassador Mccormick.
 The Grand Duke Nicholas is forty seven years of age and is considered the foremost cavalry expert in the Russian army. As inspector general of cavalry he will be able to advise General Kuro- patkin, who is an infantry specialist. Nicholas is one of the few grand dukes who married a cofnmoner, and though his marriage has not been recorded it is none the less a happy one.
 With KuroDatkin's appointment as commander in chief of the army and the presence Of Grand Duke Alexis in the far east, the opinion is strengthened that while Admiral Alexieff may remain as viceroy, the active direction of opera tions will pass out of his hands.

torpedo boats, but nothing serious has developed.
 The garrison is in excellent spirits, and is firmly convinced of the ultimate success of Russian arms.
 The Novi Kreai prints long article invoking historical precedents to prove the illegality of the Japanese declara- tion that coal and yictuals will in all cases be treated as contraband of war; The paper describes Japan's attitude as barefaeed presumption. and urges the neutral powers to disregard it and not to refuse to supply belligerent ships with coal to carry them to their nearest home port. It follows, therefore, the Novi Kreai says, that the British gov ernment should allow Russian ships at Singapore to take on sufficient coal to enable them to reach Port Arthur.

AGAIN DENIED BY JAPAN.s
Fleet Not Partly Crippled In chemuIpoi
 Fight.


 Tokio, Feb. 21 -The reports from va rious quarters saying that Admiral Togo's fleet was partly crippled in the operations at Port Arthur, are unfound- ed.
 It was unnecessary to send single large ship to sasebo for repairs. Two torpedo destroyers have been damaged, sbut not in fighting. The Akebono in at tempting to- pal from a collier during storm cgutsd with the Oboro, dis abling her, tflhinery Both were sent to saseboa led repaired and they will be ready E, nsrvice soon. The armored cruiser G,,- la has been docked at Sasebo sfe edeaned She had been in the watcfe,,I ,Ir months and her bottom was SO ~ ', that her speed was inn pairedJrfassae battleship Sfikishina, J whichureas injured on the eve of war, was HaDr in time to participate in Adms sTogos attack on Port Arthur, On Rutfuary 9th she was returning to Sas9u after the naval maneuvres and wha changing her berth struck bottom. Hfe accident was at first regarded as serious and it was thought that Japan wolud have to defer war until the Shi- kishima had been repaired, owing to the then evenly balanced strength of Japan and Russia.
 When docked it was found that the damage to the Shikishina was slight and repairs were effected in few days The accident was kept secret and few were informed of it. It was generally thought that the Shikishina was still dccked at Sasebo and unable to partici- pate in the attack on Port Arthur. Ad- Iniral Togo's men were eager to fight and the men Of the torpedo squadron, who were sent to reconnoiter at Dalny on the night of February were bitterly disappointed that they missed the Port Arthur fight and they have almost de- ynanded Of Admiral Togo that he permit them to engage the enemy at the next opportunity.
 Captain Takenouchi, former naval attache at Paris, has been appointed to command the Nishin and Captain Oin- ouyu, late chief of staff of the Kure navy yard, has been appointed to conn- n1and the Kasuga, two cruisers which were purchased from the Argentine re- public. The Kasuga has gone to Kure to outfit. She will be ready for sea in two weeks. The Nisshin is outftting at Yokohama and will be ready in three weeks.
 The Russian yladivostock squadron was reported to-day on the west coast os the island of Howido. attempting to cut the cables. The navy department here discredits the report and believes that the squadron is still at Vladivos- tok.

NOT TO CoMPRoMIsE PEACE.
Bulgarian Agens Ut Paris Explains His
 conntry's Attitude.


 Conntry's Attitude.
 Paris, Feb 21.-M. Zolotovitz, the Bulgarian agent in Paris, made the fol- lowing statement to-day:
 q can give the most formal assur- ance that Bulgaria has more than ever resolved to do nothing to compromise the peace. It is with great satisfaction that we have seen the powers elaborate plan for reforms in Macedonia, and we wish, without any reservation, the reforms realized. Above all, at this moment, when the powers are following with anxiety tn eevents in the Far East, Bulgaria will avoid doing any thing that would cause the belief that she proposes to profit by the crisis. The Bulgarian people have unanimously ex- pressed warm sympathy for Russia.
 Tt is unfortunate that Turkey per- sists in her regrettable hostility. Be- sides the annoying police measures she has taken against our people, our com merce suffers serious obstacles, and, finally, the continued concentration of Turkish troops along our frontier and the mobilization of troops at strategic points is menacing us. 7
 M. Zolotovitz says there is a war par ty in Constantinople which has a pre- ponderating influence, and he quoted from consular reports to the effect that the Turks fear military insurrection if war with Bulgaria is not declared.
 Tn the light of these facts. M. Zolo- tovitz concluded, it is mural that Bull garia, too, should be preparing"
 It is understood the powers are con- sidering simultaneous representations to Constantinople and Sofia to compel a limitation to armament.

RETURNS TO CLAIM FORTUNE.
ssratford Man Who Had Been Given Up
 for Dead.

Bridgeport, Feb. 21.-Having been given up for dead for over five years by his relatives and friends, Sterling Wheeler has returned to Stratford after search for him had been made throughout the country through the press and police officials. By his re- turn he falls heir to a fortune from the estates of his father, John Peck Wheel CT, and wife. Wheeler had returned from a trip west and was in this city two weeks and did not learn of the death of his father or of his inheritance until last week, when he was met on Fairfield avenue and recognized by one who had known him since boyhood. lie was then informed of his fathers death and the facts concerning his fortune, and he will begin the proper legal pro- ceedings to obtain possession of it.
 Sterling Wheeler was the youngest son of John Peck Wheeler, who met a tragic death in Stratford about five years ago by being killed on the mead ows while loading salt hay. He had two other brothers, Noah and Louis, and three sisters, Mrs. Charles Wake
 ley. Miss Hattie Wheeler and Miss Sa- die Wheeler. Shortly after his fathers death Louis Wheeler was killed by the cars. The elder Wheeler's fortune was then left to be divided between the widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke Wheeler, and the remaining children.
 Sterling Wheeler was at that time about twenty-one years old and of a rowing disposition. Shortly before his fathers tragic death he left home with out, leaving word as to his destination, and when the fathers death occurred, and later the estate was settled, a care- full search was made for him. The Bos- ton, New York and Chicago and other western papers were advertised in, and the police around the country endeav- ored to locate the missing man. All ef- forts were fruitless, however. After due time his relatives and friends gave up the search and were convinced that he must be dead or had left the coun- try. From his mothers estate Wheeler
 will receive $1, 800 in cash, with interest. In addition he has the income for life from a trust fund of S7,100 left by his father, and also one-fifth of the income from fund of a similar account which has since been divided owing to the death of one of the heirs. In ready cash he will thus receive about $2,500. Much of the time Wheeler has been missing he has spent in St. Louis.

Forced BIarches-Flring Heard On
 Port Arthur.
 London. Feb. 22.-The cables are still absolutely silent with regard to the progress of the war, but there are vague rumors of land fighting. As an instance the St. Petersburg correspon- dent Of the Paris edition of the New York Herald talks of a Russian repulse on the Yalu river with 8 loss of 2,500 lives. These rumors are uneonfrmed.
 From a reliable quarter the Morning Posts Cheefoo correspondent says he learns that 10000 Japanese are advanc- ing by forced marches from various parts of Corea on the Yalu and that se- were fighting is expected shortly.
 These are the only references to act ilal operations that have reached Lon- don.
 The announcement. that General Ko- dama has been replaced in the Japanese cabinet by MT. Koshikawa is reported as meaning that General Kodama is about to take command of the Japanese land forces. Kodama. who is Japan's leading general, did splendid work dur ing the Chino-Japanese war.
 It is said that Viceroy Alexieff has asked the ministry Of marine to send him officers who are not too young and adnirals who are not too old, of whom he already has too many. The viceroy has issued proclamations to the Chinese throughout Manchuria seeking to enlist their sympathy in behalf of Russia and their assistance in maintaining the rail- way intact, by representing to them JaDan's treacherous methods in begin- ming the war.
 A Port Arthur dispatch received at St. Petersburg reports the Russian cruiser Novik had been repaired and had left her dock.
 The Standards Kieff correspondent hears that the Caucasus and Turkestan armies are to be mobilized. He adds that the runlor is not confirmed official 1y. but says if it is true it can only be interpreted as a yelled threat against India in certain emergencies.
 The correspondent at Tien Tsin of tlls Standard reports the attacks of 800 Chinese "brigands'' on the Russian post at Foo Chow as probably an attempt to wreck the railway.
