The despatch from Sir Claude Macdonald com‘izms the reports that the Knight Commander had no contraband of war on board for Japan. The Government and all the British authori- ties, it is stated, unite in declaring that there was no justification for the sinking of the vessel. It is the feeling in official circles that the Knight Commander inci- dent overshadow, the Red Sea seizures, which practically have been ad- Justed, but which have failed to settle the question of the rights of neu- tral commerce. The British note, as Sir Charles Hardinge will submit it, will not mention the amount of the indemnity Russia must pay the owners or the ship, and British subjects having goods on board the vessel, but all that will be sought will be the establishment of the principle of indemn- my and apology. A salute of the British flag must also be conceded, and the tuture protection of neutral shipping assured. and that information which mm "d luv this morning, confirmed this YUNv' occurrence."

The report adds: !"In these circumstances 1 did not lthink it advisable to resume the bat. ltle on the following day. I resolved ‘to retreat north.

The commander of the Takushan army reports that on Friday afternoon he surrounded three Russian battalions near the Pauling road. The Russians retreated north, leaving 14 killed. Three Russians were captured. The Japanese casualties were 30 killed and wounded. It is charged that the Rus- sians violated the Japanese flag. under which they took a Japanese position at the beginning of the fight. The Japanese captured a number of guns at Tushichno. Their losses wero Josts than was at first 'aupposed, nah exceeding 800. They did not pursue the Russians because of a desire to co- operate with the first army in a de. eisive battle between Hai-Cheng and Liao-Yang, which even Russian officers think will result in a Russian defeat and terminate the campaign. Official details of the fighting show that Gen. Oku's army faced a superior force of Russians south of Tashichao on July 24. The Russian artillery checking the advance of the Japanese it was decided to make a surprise at- tack at night. The entire Japanese right Wm hurled against the Rnusians at 10 p. m.. rmulting in the easy cap- ture of their first position at Tai- pingling.

It is reported that the Taku. shan army is pressing Hai Cheng strong~ ly, compelling the Russians to evacuate and that the latter are now retreating north. Thus the Russian army has been bisected.

Detective and Doctor: Investigate the Logan Cue. Toronto, Aug. 1.--A strange case was investigated by Chief Inspector John Murray. Dr. John Caven. of Toronto, and Dr. 1icCrimmon, of Palermo. Halton county. yesterday. The body of a no man named Margaret Logan. was eh" humed at a cemetery near Glen Wil- lianms. in the same county, and a post- mortem examination made, the result of which will be known later. The Gow ment officer and doctors returned to Toronto last night, but they would make no statement as to the result of their investigation. The meeting of the Defence Commit- tee is cited as showing that the ten- sion between England and Russia has become acute. and prominence is given to a rumor that the orders for the coming naval manoeuvres have been eottntermanded, and that the warships have been ordered to remain in port. their crew leaves caneelled. and those who are absent ordered to rejoin their vessels. Enquiry at the Admiralty elicited a prompt and eomplete denial of this. Russia's complete compliance in the ease of the Malaeea and other steamers undoubtedly tend" to mili- tate the public anger. but there i- no equivocation about the demands for reparation and apology. The action of the United States is watched with great interest. It is stated that com. munications have passed between the British Foreign Offiee and the Ameri- can Department of State. ond that simultaneous action is probable. thur have completed their repairs. The T1adivostock squadron is vspoetod to arrive at Port Arthur.

Mis cautiom retieenee since the friction with Russia begun made his statement regarding the Knight Cont- mander all the more striking, especially as it was to a certain extent volun- teered, he having sufficiently answered the question which elicited it. it was stated in the lobbies, of the House last evening that the Government had sent a peremptory message. to St. Petersburg protesting in the strongest terms. Any less decided action than this would be indignuntly resented against the Gov. ernment. While the more. conservative papers comment upon the matter with firm moderation, there is an inclination in some directions to treat it sensa- tionally. and the biggest type comes into use. To Witneu Passage of Baltic Fleet Through Kiel Canal.

There he is to meet the Kaiaer. who is expected to witness the plunge of the Raglan ships through the canal.

IteNronuible officers who will go with the squadron say that htey expect to reeeive friendly attentions from the German warships stationed on the route to the Orient.
