st. Petersburg, July 18.-Since the
receipt from Toxic of an official de-
nial of the report of Japanese re-
pulse at Port Arthur with the loss OF
about 10000 men scepticism as to the
truth of the report from Viceroy Alex,
teff's headquarters has peryaded all
circles. but the members OF the gen
eral staff decline to accept the denial
unreservedly. While not insisting on
the accuracy of the figures they claim
there is good reason to believe that q
severe check was inflicted on the Jap
anese In front of Port Arthur and 1t
is considered possible that Generai
6toessel may have made report OF
the subject direct to the emperor. Al
though still In ignorance as to what
the official statement meant by from
japanese sources" the officials here
maintain that Alexieff must have nau
good reason to send the report. While
it Is conceivable that the Japanese
themselves may have spread the re-
port for the purpose OF leading Gen
eral Kuropatkin to believe that they
win not advance any further in Man
churia, the general staff are not dis
posed to regard them as guilty of such
machiavslism.
Despite the attitude of the general
otaff, who evidently are reluctant to
give up Q report for which they are
not responsible, the public ardor has
