PETERSBURG, May Ev-The effect ol the disaster to Russian arms on the Yalu upon the Chinese Is being watched -with keen interest and considerable ap prehension. The Russian government ap pears to bo satisfied -with the situation for the moment, and Paul Lessar, the Russian Minister at Pekln, Is making dally reports to the Foreign Office. The report received from the Minister today contained nothing disquieting. The Pekln government, according to Russian reports, seems to be acting In perfect good faith, and Insists it is intent upon preserving neutrality.
