Puller, who Is at the Auditorium Annex, Is said to be the only white foreigner who has entered and escaped from Port Arthur since- the war began. "The world has not the slightest conception of tho losses of the Japanese up to date," said Mr. Puller. "They have lost 120,000 while the reports to the outside -world indicate only 10 per cent of that number. All Japanese official figures given out are grossly misrepresented and and no one in the island dares publish the truth.

There seems to be an opinion in the island that with the fall of 1'ort Arthur the end. of the war is In slghtl This is absurd." RUSSIAN FLAG LOWERED. C'mrcTrHcIi Repairs at Kiao Choii--Pullnila and Diana Reach Vladivostok. Klao Chou, Aug. Russian battleship Czarevitch and three torpedo boat destroyers are now in the hands of the local German Government for repairs, but It Is improbable that vessels will fight again in tnls war.

Capt, Truppei, chief of the military and civil administration- of the Protectorate of Kiao Cnou, after having completed provisions for the neutrality of the Russian war- Ghipc during their stay here, proceeded to go on board the Czarevitch. The crew of the battleship were alarmed at the advent of Copt. Truppel's party and. seized their weapons. They were quickly quieted, however, and the commander of the Czarevitch was informed that it was necessary that the Russian flag be hauled down and remain down pending the completion of repairs.

The Czarevitch's flag was then lowered amid impressive formalities, after which, Capt. Truppcl visited each of the three destroyers, whoso flags were also flyinir It is thought here that If iha Russians persist In repairing their ships, they will eventually have tp dismantle them because force of the Japanese which Ia waiting for them outside the harbor. According to the regulations which govern situations such as the one existing here, the destroyers will not be permitted to leave in a body, but must go out at intervals of six hours, i It is believed here that the Russian cruisers Pallada and Diana have reached Vladivostok.

Panama; Aug. 1W4, by the New York Herald Barrett laid a few days ago before the Secretary of Foreign Affairs certain proposals based on President Roosevelt's instructions of Juno 24, regarding the tariff and trade relations between the can.il 20110 and Panama, which Mr.

Barrett is justified in hoping will be tho me-ins arriving at a equitable of the mtiin points at issue icsrai'tlins port questions and 'other pending matters. 'Xhttic proposals appear to embody such co-operation as will fully protect Panama'a revenues, and snoh arrangement for reciprocal trnde relations between Panama and the zone, protecting and benefiting tho hlic's commercial interests. Mr. Barrett has given assurances to Panama that the United States Government is animated' by tho best Intentions to do nothing inconsistent with the true interests of both Republics and is to uphold and main- lain Panama's Interests in every possible way, and that no permanent policy will be adopted by the United States regarding first enterprise too hazardous, so as not to expose the representatives of neutral nations to danger. It is reported that Viceroy Alexleff has left Mukden hurriedly for Vladivostok c-n receipt of news that the Illness of Admiral Bezobrazoff had taken a serious turn and that the Admiral waa not expected! to recover.

The exact whereabouts of the Port Arthur battleships Is still a mystery on which hinges Russian naval fortunes In che Far East. Telegrams reporting them buck at Port Arthur have not been confirmed un to this hour. It is apparent Vice Admiral Togo either can not or will not say where they have gone. TKfe Admiralty officials declare they do know, but they refuse- to believe that out of flve battleships not a atngle one managed to break through to Vladivostok. Vice Admiral reports of the movements of his oVn vessels mention only a few ships which is believed to indicate thai the others have not rejoined his fleet.

It ia more than probable that Admiral Withoft before going out fixed a rendezvous with the to which they would proceed if separated, and it Is likewise more than probable that this rendezvous was anywhere except at Port Arthur, the most likely point being between Shanghai and Kiu- the most southerly of three principal islands of Japan, which is on the circular route to Vladivostok. The Czarevitch waa evidently heading for this point when she was compelled by the 'damages she sustained to turn aside and enter Tsing Tau. la this connection, it is Interesting to note the presence off Saddle Island of four battleships, reported in a telegram from Shanghai, and later said to be four- cruisers, presumably the Pallada, Diana and Nbvik, escorting the crippled Aakold. These vessels might take advantage of the fact that the Shanghai-Nagasaki cable is laid to Saddle Island to sever Japanese with the Continent; Persistent reports that the Russian vessels were coaling from colliers in these waters confirm the hypothesis that they had agreed to rendezvous at this point, en route to Vladivostok, and if thoy tailed'to keep together to rush the Korean Straits.

saying that three Rossian cruisers at Tsing Tau had hauled down their flags, interdicted by the censors, because the information reaching the Admiralty is to the effect that ohiy the Czarevitch ia in that port.

T. RUSSIA'S REPRIMAND. China. Complicity In the Ryenhltelna. Affair.

Washington, Aug. Mr. Conger, the American Minister at Pefcln, has cabled to the State Department under today's date as follows: "The Russian Minister has sent to the Chinese Government a strong note charging it with complicity in the affair, charging the Chinese Commodore with cowardice and treason, and demanding a full explanation, restoring of tho destroyer and severe punishment of the Commodore The Chinese Government has demanded from the Japanesa tho restoration of the destroyer.

The presentation of a strongly worded Russian note to the Pekin Government demanding an explanation of the Ryeshitelnl Incident, coupled with a demand for the reatoration of the destroyer. as foreshadowed by the protest sent to the Japanese and the Powers, shews that Russia Is apparently determined to obtain satisfaction for the. affront, It Is believed here that the least Japan can do Is to surrender the unless wishes to place herself on record as defying tho most categorical provisions of International law, with the possibilities of ultimate complications.

Russian. Japanese and Chinese versions all agree that the vessel was captured In a neutral harbor. The charge of cowardice and complicity brought axalnat the Chinese Admiral is based alike on his failure to protect an unarmed vessel and on his permitting tha Japanese destroyers to enter- the harbor, li-'is pointed out that ft was 'the Admiral's duty to place a guard on board the Ryenhltclnl, taking off the Russian crew.

WILL ACCEPT INDEMNITY. HHtUh Cabinet Council the KnliilU Commander London, Aug. The final Cabinet council of the parliamentary, session was held today at the Foreign Office, and gave particular attention to the question of the neutrality of China and Great Britain's action on the reply to the Knight Commande representations. After the council closed the emphatic statement was made that Great Britain feels it essential to her Interests and those of the entire world that the neutrality.

of China shall be observed by the two belligerents. Great Britain will make earnest efforts to secure this result. In connection with the Knight Commander case, the British Government will Instruct Ambassador hardl.ige that it can not admit the contention that the steamer was rightfully sunk, and will insist that there was no justification for so doing in international law. It is fully expected in Cabinet circles that the question will be adjusted by Russia paying an adequate Indemnity. While dissatisfied at the failure of Russia to recognize in principle that she had no right to sink- a neutrai ship, even If carrying contraband; the British Government feels Is will not gain by pressing the point, especially as it regards the power of the Kusslan navy to harm merchantmen in the Far East as having practically disappeared.

Therefore the Government will accept an indemnity, which it will regard as an admission of the correctness of the position assumed by Foreign Secretary Lansdowne when the original demand for reparation was made The neutrality of China presents a more knotty problem to the Ixmdon authorities for the reason that they have to consider the effect upon their ally. The disposition of the Government to go slow. In other words, while' Insisting that China shall continue neutral, the Government will give Japan every opportunity to show, If possible, a justification for the capture of -the Russian torpedo destroyer. Exchanges the subject have occurred between Great Britain and Japan, the latter Insisting that the Russians were the aggressors, but tha representatives of British officials seem to establish the fact that the Japanese took the Initiative. Officials and diplomats here recognize the importance of the Washington statement that the United State; can do no more than use her moral influence to preserve the neutrality of China, but It is pointed out that this proved most effective in the past, and probably during the negotiations following the Boxer revolts.

No representations have been mado through the American Embaasy here but an active exchange of views is known to be in progrsss In Pekln. At the Chinese Legation here It was said that the foreign board had not communicated to it the facts of the incident, 'but-was discussluc them directly with the diplomats stationed at the Chinese capitol.
