The British cruiser Andromeda,

Some time ago Russian residents OF
Chefoo collected a fund In anticipation
Of this emergency. but at a meeting
today OF tho British and Japanese con
suls and tho local health oficer tho
fact was developed that the present
conditions OF Chefoo are equal to car

Shanghai and Tlen Tsln are proper
tlonately inadequate.
The general opinion here is that the
great mass Of tho sick and wounded
will be compelled TO remain at Port
Arthur until they are sufficiently con
yalcscent TO return to Russia
The refusal OF the Japanese 10 &C

cruiser Andromeda was an error born
Of their desire to show to the world
that Japanese humanitarianism was
