(Received August 26, 7.47 a.m.) j LONDON, August 25. The Russian Ambassador had several mii terviewa with the Dutch member of the Haguo Arbitration Tribunal. This is interpreted as a sounding regarding contraband, and alsofhas reference to the propei attitude in connection with xhz Rechitelni case. The engagement between the Novik and Tsushima was so protracted and fierce that many of the Tsushima's officers in the stress of combat lost their voices, and had to write the words of command with chalk. The Chinese authorities at Pekin gave the Askold end Grozovoi four more days' time for repairs, which is interpreted to mean that China wishes to save her face, as the warships had disregarded her au- ■ fchority. Happily, the Czar's order was received commanding Admiral Retzenstem to disarm both vessels. Their flags were lowered at seven, o'clock in the evening.
