Destroy Her.
Toxic. Aug. 22-After a severe en-.
gagement with the protected cruisers
Chitose and Tsushima the greyhounds
of the Japanese navy, the feet Rus
sian cruiser Novik has been van
quished. The fight occurred Sunday.
Aftorward the Novik, in sinking con.
dition. was run ashore in Korsakovsk
harbor on the island OF Sakhalien.
The fate of the crew of the Novik
is not known, but 1t is thought they
abandoned their vessel and landed at
Korsakovsk 1t is generally thought
here that the Chi,ose and Tusushima
steamed in close to the Novik and
completed tho destruction.
The details Of the fight are not
known here, but 1t is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught up with
the Novik Saturday and that a rum
ming fight ensued. The contest was
resumed and terminated early Sun
day morning. Captain Sukeichiro
Takahashi who is in command of the
Chitoso, reported the engagement in
brief telegram which reached the
navy department here. He says he
first attacked the Russian cruiser Sat
urday afternoon and that on Sunday
morning he inflicted heavy damage
upon her The Novik nearly sank but
she was beached at Korsakovsk

Up to China.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 23-Japan has
not replied to Russia's protest against
he capture of the Ryeshitelni at Che.
zoo and the latest communication does
not necessarily anticipate a reply.
Russia will hold China responsible for
redress. The statement issued by the
government at Tokyo, the authorities
here say, does not meet the issue.
They can not believe that Japan has
seriously set up the contention that
the Ryeshitelni was fully armed, even
when her small arms and men had
been taken off.

Caused Surprise Abroad.

London, Aug. 22.-The intervention
of the American squadron at Shanghai
in the Japanese operations against
the Russian cruiser Askold created
considerable surprise in official and
diplomatic circles here The Japanese
legation was at first inclined to be-
lieve that the report that the United
States torpedo-boat destroyer Chaun.
cey steamed into a position between
the Japanese torpedo boat and Rus
sian cruiser was Shanghai fake"
as it had been understood that the
American government would not OBJ
1ect to offensive action against Rus
sian warships in case of their failure
TO observe Chinese neutrality. An Of
ficial Of the legation said: IF the
report is not untrue the American
commander must have had good
reason for his action, such as the
protection of the American interests
which would have been endangered by
flying shells"

Russia Will Act.

st. Petersburg, Aug 23.--The news
that the navy department at Washing
ton absolutely denied that the United
States warships at Shanghai had re-
ceived instructions to assist in the
protection of the neutrality of China
or to in any way interfere with the
Japanese warships put something of
damper on the feeling of satisfaction
with which the earlier reports had
been received. Nevertheless the ques-

the torpedo-boat destroyer Grozovoi
is expected to be adjusted as soon as
China and Japan come to an agree
