Russians Say the Port IL Open and
Inhabitants Are Nor Worried.
Port Arthur. April 2e-All weak
points on both the land and sea sides
here have been 90 strengthened in the
last two months that the impregnabil-
ity Of Port Arthur is now regarded as
absolutely assured. The garrison has
been considerably strenthened. and the
forts are provided with all necessities
for more than year. Complete con-
fidence prevails with the troops, sailors
and inhabitants in the ability Of the
Russians to defeat any Japanese attack.
Remarkable indifference to the possi-
bility Of attack is shown by the people.
In fact, by day there is little to indi.
cate that the town is In q state iof
seige. The band plays on the boule-
ward, on which parades are held.
Finely dressed people stroll about and
groups Of ohildrsn play. Restaurants
and shops are we'll patronized by GUS
toners all day long. At night, how.
ever, the city is in profound darkness,
which is emphasized by the search-
lights flashing across the roadstead.
The entrance Of the harboY. although
studded with nine Japanese wrecks. re.
mains perfectly free.
The laundering Of the Petropvlovsk
is regarded as q tragic mischance,
without influence ON the course Of the
campaign or preventing the Russian
feet from still achieving brilliant re.
suits. At each successive lombard.
ment, which experience shows reoccurs
approximately fortnightly, the japan.
ese fire less vigorously. Their ships
remain out Of range Of the batteries,
and evidently they do not intend to be
drawn into battle.

operations will be confined to points

house. barn, windmill and outbuild-
ings destroyed. All the members of
the family escaped except a young

ed up and carried a considerable dis
tance and demolished. The family
