To the first demand that the ordered to leave within the twenty-fou- r hour limit Collector Stratton reAs is reported, turned a curt refusal. It wae then that Consul General Uyeno made the demand that he be permittee la be the judge of the seaworthiness, of the Russian ship. The reply that Collector Stratton made to this demand waa In effect that the United States was not only willing but able lo rape with the situation without the assistance of either of the be belligerents.

In the meantime, the collector, In view of the fact that the repairs are said to be Imperative, baa refused to order the Lena from the harbor within twenty-tou- r hours without n full Investigation. The saloon of the Lena is a spacious apartment, as the vessel was a passenger liner before the war. At one end of the tables a group of officers were leisurely drinking coffee and amoking Russian cigarettes. Navigating Officer Speckneff, who poke excellent English, said: We were sent to Vladivostok to transfer the troops home when the war should be over. The Lena la not a warship. We cannot fight. Needing repairs, we were first ordered back to the Baltic. Afterward these orders were changed and we have come here because It Is the nearest port In which we could get the new boilers we need. Being asked how long he would remain here, the officer said: We expect orders from our naval representatives at Washington who have Just been advised of our arrival, it Is probbalile that ha will ask the American government tor Its permission to remove the gunn from our decks and allow the vessel to remain here until the repairs can be finished." Asked how long he thought that would require, he said: The Lena will probably remain here nntil the war la over. We expect the officers and crew will be sent home by the way of New York." And then he added: It is hard to be so far away from the war when one can only make a record by fighting. On the deck were between two and three hundred sailor. Among them waa a priest of the Russian Greek church with long hair and uncut board, wearing a soft felt hat and what looked like a gray ktmona. Silently he stood at the rail, counting hla beads and at the looking tall buildings of the strange dty.'An Inspection of the decks of the converted cruiser to which no objection was made, revealed the fact that she had mounted twenty-fiv- e gunn. Speaking with another officer the question of the safety of the Pacific Mall steamers and the matter of contraband waa brought up. Ah, that la a thing of the past. We pannot fight, said he, as he looked at But If the the guns of the Ohio. government will not let us dismantle the ship, we will have to make hasty repairs and put to sea." Washington. Sept 12.
