BIG GUNS EFFECTIVE.
Warships Retard japanese Operations
at Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg. July Il. 2:o3 p. m
The admiralty believes that Rear Ad
miTal Withoefts squadron is rendering
effective aid in tie defense Of Fort
Arthur. by impeding the construction
of batteries near the eastern ag-
breaches and fortress. by going out
and shelling the japanese works under
construction for this purpose. The
bringing up of siege guns to an effec-
tive range can thus be materially re-
tarded.
The admiralty considers that the
naval situation has greatly improved
and sees evidence of the ia japanese fleet
showing signs Of exhaustion. TIE Of
ficials- here think that Admiral Togo
with the knowledge that he viii have
to fight without tie cooperation of
the army in stOrmiug Port Arthur. has
become extremely cautious about risk
ing his ships and that at most he viii
only attempt operations Of secondary
importance like a pursuit of the
Nladivostok squadron and cooperation
with land forces at New ChUang.
