GUESSING
little New IN the War Situa.
ton in the Far East Is
Reported

st. Petersburg, March 3.--Since the
disappearance Of the Japanese feet
from Port Arthur the Russian authori-
ties have been awaiting anxiously the
next move of the Japanese at sea.
There is an inclination here to be-
lieve that the Japanese have been dis
couraged by the failure of their at
tacks and perhaps by losses they have
not announced.
1t is evident from the meager in
formation regarding the Russian dis
positions in northern Korea that .he
plan for checking the Japanese land
advance is perfected and that heavy
reserves are being brought up the Va
lu river.
Every energy of the authorities Is
now directed to prevent a blockade
sidings. each of 2200 feet. are being
erected. Owing to the heavy move-
ment of rolling stock carrying REIN
forcements, war munitions and COM
missariat stores eastward, there is con-
siderable dhanger that in bringing
back the empty cars the whole line
may be stopped.
With the sidings now building the
authorities hope to be able to keep
the line clear and to send eleven trains
in each direction daily. Mail advices
from Siberia say that the army reserves
from the rural districts seem to be
much more anxious to go to the front
than the townsmen. Many Of the lat
ter are presenting certificates Of H.
ness.
The government bank balance March
lst showed deer ease Of only four mil
lion dollars. The gold on hand am-rdi
lion dallars. The gold on hand
amounted to $4,000, 900.
