RUSSIAN FLEET BOUND
FOR YLADlY0ST0Ck
Scouting in the Vicinity of Port Ar
thur Fails to Discover the Pres
ence of Warships.--Land Forces
Moving From Harbin Southwark.

Toxic, March 15-It is strongly be
lieved here that the Russian fee
abandoned Port Arthur after tht
fourth attack made by the Japanese
fleet and is endeavoring to reach Via
livestock. Confirmation of this move
ment is not obtainable from reliable
source but recent scouting in the vicin
ity of Port Arthur failed to reveal the
presence of any Russian warships. II
seems logical enough that the Rus
slams should attempt dash for Vladi
vostock, where it is possible to dock
larger ships, to effect a juncture with
the armOred cruisers and to secure a
base for operations while in possession
of adequate land defenses. That it is
hopeless continuing at Port Arthur is
manifest, while dash for Vladivos-
took might succeed.

trance of Port Arthur, after the re-
moval of the battleship Retvizan is
authoritatively denied here.
