GUNBOAT NASHVILLE
WILL RETURN TO SEA

st. Louis. May 1.-THE gunboat
Nashville will probably steam south
ward today or tomorrow with Il view
to reaching salt water again as soon
as possible. The boat has failed to
be counter attraction to the worlds
fair. owing to the difficulty in getting
aboard during the first few days fol-
lowing her arrival. The high water
and strong current of the river pre-
vented the general public from get
ting aboard until Sunday. and many
of those who strolled along the brink
of the Mississippi were attracted by
the high water rather than by the
gunboat. During the past few days, in
which she has received guests on
board, the visitors have not greatly
increased in numbers.

NEWS GIVES RUSSIANS JOY
To Hear That Port Arthur Is No Longer
IsoIated-How Was 1t Done.

St Petersburg, May II, 300 IL. NJ
The most important official news from
the front up to this hour is that tell
ing of the complete re-establishment
of railroad and telegraphic communiCa-
tiOn with Port Arthur though how it
WAS broguht about, and whether u bat
tie was necessary to accomplish it,
are mysteries which NicerOy AleXieff
failed to clear up. The elatiOn of the
authorities, n atm2l consequence of
this achievement, is sobered by Off
cial dispatches showing the activity
of the Japanese in eastern Manchuria.
Kuang-Gen-Sian [HuaDg- -Tiang- -Sai?I.
fifty miles northeast of Feng Wang
Cheug, was occupied by the Japanese
April D.
This enables an advance along the
had roads to the flank either at Liao-
yang or Mukden. The territory he
tween the main road to Feng- Wang
Chcng and the River Tayung has been
penetrated by such Il strong force of
japanese as to lead TO the suggestion
that another, army has landed at
Takusglan of which the outside world
has not before heard. The activity of
the Japanese, however, has been eX-
pected and therefore has not dimin-
ished the satisfaction felt at the open
ing of communication with Port Ar
thur.
The people naturally wish for more
details concerning the re-establishment
of communication with Port Arthur.
All they know definitely Is that the
railroad has been repaired and that at
