A Report from Stocssei.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 15.—The
(emperor has received the following de
spatch from Viceroy Alexleff, dated
Sept. 14:
"I have received the following report
from General Stoessel, dated Port Ar

“A despatch from Yakutsk, eastern
tJSiberla, dated August 13, says that
[^Commander Islands, off the coast of
[Kamchatka, had been besieged by
UTapancse and British schooners and
steamers up to July 20. Two of the
igchooners and the steamers were armed
(with guns. In driving them off ten
Japanese were killed and many wound
tied. We sustained no loss.

(traditions. The inhabitants have taken

“On September 3 the enemy received
rdfmorcements on the west front of
the fortress. During the bombardment
of September 2 the Japanese squadron

The Kommander Islands are the Is
lands for whose protection against
these very expeditions arrangements
were made by Russia with Great Bri
tain and the United States. It In not

port has also been received of the
