COMMUNICATION BY RUNNERS
Russians Manage to Get Dispatches
Out of Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg, May 15.-The ad
miralty has received an official dis
patch from Rear Admiral Wittsoeft
believed to have been dated from Port
Arthur May IA, reporting that there
had been no fighting afloat since the
telegraph line was cut, the Japanese
ships not having attacked. Every
thing was well in the Russian squad
ron.
The dispatch was gratifying to the
authorities, not only for the news II
contained, but because its receipt es
tablished the fact that while the tele-
graph line is severed system of com
munication by means of Chinese run
ners had been satisfactorily inau-
gurated. In order to deliver the Lao
yang dispatches entrusted to him the
runner had to pass through the Jap
anese lines already thrown across the
narrow neck of the peninsula, just
above Port Arthur, for the purpose of
cutting off all communication between
General Kuropatkin and the fortress.

JAPs USED SUBMARINES.
Russian Commander at Port Arthur Sc
Reports.

ST. Petersburg, May 19.-The adj
miralty is now convinced, by mail re-
ports received from Port Arthur, that
Vice Admiral Togo used submarine
boats In his operations. A letter from
Lieutenant General Stoessel says that
he was standing on Golden hill when
the Russian battleship Petropavlovsk
went down and he saw a submarine
boat torpedo the battleship. Lieuten-
ant Schreiber claims he distinctly saw
the periscope of submarine boat and
could trace the course of the vessel.
OfTicers of the Russian battleship Po-
bieda testified that submarine boat
discharged a torpedo against their ship
and they fired at the submarine boat,
hoping to sink it, but failed.

OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THAT A
DECISIVE COMBAT WILL BE
AVOIDED AT PRESENT.
kUR0PATKIH WILL QUIT LIAOYANG
MAKING PREPARATIONS TO FALL
BACK ON MUkuEN AND AFT
ERWhEDS ON HAEBiN.

st. Petersburg, May 19-Ccnfrmina
the intimations that it is General Ku
ropatkin's purpose to avoid decisive
combat with the Japanese at the pres
ent stage of the war the statement was
made by the general staff during tbs
day that the commander-in-chief Is
making preparations to fall back or
Mukden and then on Harbin.
While the superior numbers Of the
enemy compel retirement it does not
follow that General Kuropatkin will
not strike a stinging blow, should a
strategical mistake be made which will
enable him to throw a stronger army
upon one of the advancing columns OF
his antagonist. The most exposed
portion of General Kuroki's command
Is that which moved directly north
ward, evidently with the intention OF
gaining the road to Mukden, down
which 1t will march as soon as the
other columns are within supporting
distance. Unless caution, heretofore
the conspicuous feature Of the Japan
ese campaign, is observed this column,
1t is believed here, will fall the victim
of its temerity, as General Kuropatkin
is known to be holding ii especially
under close surveillance.
No Big Battle imminent.
Kuropatkin's decision to withdraw
from Liaoyang can only mean, accord
ing to the experts, that there viii con.
tinue TO be engagements Of outposts
unless another General Zassalitca
should develop. The controlling strate-
gic point at Eaicheng will not be held,
as believed, Kuropatkin deciding ii to
be unwise to isolate more troops, who
would, not being as we'll supplied as
those at Port Arthur, find it difiic ult
to subsist until relief arrived. This
is one of the reasons that dictated the
withdrawal of the Russians from New
chwang, official details Of which have
not yet been made public. The experts
say that the debarkation of japanese
at Newchwang would be nothing more
or less than a strategical blunder adj
vantageous to the Russians, as they
are still holding the railroad and could
rush a force there, fall on the japan
ese and retire before a column sent by
General KuroN could get between
them and Liaoyang. The opinion,
therefore, prevails that the japanese
will not occupy Newchwang until Ku-
roki's columns arrive at Haicheng or
its immediate vicinity.
The general staff confirms the an
nouncements of the abandonment Of
Kinchou by the Russians after the dis.
mantling of the forts and the removal
of the guns 10 Port Arthur.
