RooseveIt's Efforts Factor.
st. Petersburg, June 7.-President
Roosevelt, when this dispatch reaches
America, should be in possession of
der of good offices. The efforts that
President Roosevelt has been making
to bring the belligerents Rgether en-
tered distinctly new phase last night.
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff had an
audience with the Emperor in the af-
ternoon upon the subject of Count Cas-
sinis communication and at / o'clock
last night Ambassador Meyer called
on Minister Lamsdorff and remained
for some time. The result was that
today Ambassador Meyer went to
Tsarskoe-Selo and was received in
special audience by the Emperor. Up
on his return to st. Petersburg Ambas
sador Meyer hastened to the embassy
whence he sent a long cipher dispatch
to Washington. Half an hour later he
was closeted with Sir Charles Hard
inge, the British ambassador. The sit
uation is extremely delicate and the
greatest reticence is observed. New
ertheless there seems to be some in
dication that the Emperor's response
was favorable.

Washington, June 7-Mayer Des-
planches, ambassador of Italy, had a
conference with President Roosevelt
at the White House this afternoon by
appointment. The object of the con

doubtless concerned peace in the far

cussed the subject with every Euro
pean ambassador in Washington. That
peace there can be no doubt
Russian Warships Still in Manila Bay
Manila, June There are no indi-
cations of the departure of the Rus
sian warships from Manila Bay. Ad
miral Enquist has not heard from st.
Petersburg since his arrival, although
he has filed many lengthy dispatches.
Russians show the keen disappoint-
ment they feel at the inaction of st.
Petersburg officials. The signal station
at Corregidor reports that the German
steamer Gaardine is passing in with
coal for the Russians.
BattIeship Orel Badly Damaged.
Toxic, June IA correspondent of
the Associated Press has been permit
ted to inspect the Russian battleship
Orel, now lying at Maisuru. The Orel
received terrible battering. Her hull
shows forty gaping holes pierced by
large shells, and many smaller ones
where she was hit, while the super
structure, upper works and under
decks were riddled by Shells The star
board forward 12-inch gun was
smashed ten feet from the muzzle and
the other guns were damaged from
the main deck upward The condition
of the vessel was terrible sight to
behold, and below decks there was
evidence that the vessel was several
times afire. The main armour belt is
intact and the turret armour generally
withstood the battering of Shells The
Orel is strong structurally, although
it will be necessary to practically re-
construct her from the water line up.
