THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The safe arrival at Yokohama of
Japan's two new cruisers, the MIS-
shin and kasuga, aids materially ia
pans dominance on the ocean. The
vessels are almost ready for service,
and will doubtless soon be attached to
one of the four fleets that Japan has
now on the water.
1t is poor bit of news that the Rus
slams are able to put forward as an
offset to Japanese achievements.
Their first official report. free from
regrets" tells how the Vladivostok
cruiser division sank little Japanese
tons burden-hardly feat to boast
of. 1t appears certain now, from the
cumulative testimony OF many dis
patches. that at least eight OF Rus
sia's battle ships and cruisers were
destroyed, or seriously disabled, BY
Japan in the first fights at Chemulpo
and Port Arthur There is nothing in
the news to justify the belief that n
later naval battle has been fought.
Japan. apparently, is wisely refusing
to take the risk of the destruction OF
her fleet by the land guns at Port Ar
thur. while Russia's fleet is unwilling
or more probably unable, to venture
into the open water
Nevertheless, so long as the final
settlement of the control of the sea
has not been reached, il can hardly be
credited that land operations on a
large scale have been begun. either
on the Yalu river or in the immediate
neighborhood of Port Arthur The
10000 or more troops reported landed
at Chemulpo would not be at all ade-
quate to take the aggressive on the
ialu, and even If they were it would
require much time TO march them to
position.
On the whole the most significant
news of reliable nature concerning
the war is that which tends to show
Russia's unpreparedness, and the diff
culties in the way OF maintaining her
armies where they are. The blowing
up of Russian cruiser as well as a
Russian torpedo transport by Rus
sia's own harbor mines can only be
the result of bungling, of nature not
dissimilar to that which was shown
when the Russian naval officers cele-
brated Admiral Aleixeff's birthday on
shore instead of keeping guard against
the enemy at sea. On land we hear
OF such bungling or bad fortune, call
1t which you will. as the loss of 600
soldiers by freezing to death. while
crossing the ice of Lake Baikal, which
is reported from St Petersburg.
OF bad omen for Russia is the res
ignation of General Kuropatkin as
minister for war Kuropatkin Is one
of Russia's greatest fighters, but he
has been one of the most earnest ad-
vocates OF peace with Japan. He is
TO go to Turkestan to concern himself
