ST. Petersburo Is comp!acent.

St. Petersburg, March 24.-As no
further dispatches, official or other
wise, have arrived here from Port Ar
thur, the officials have come to the
conclusion that the bombardment by
the Japanese fleet on the night of
March 81 and the morning of March
~ failed to cause any damage consid
cred worthy to be reported to the en-
peror. In consequence considerable
satisfaction at the continued fruitless-
ness Of the Japanese assaults on Port
Arthur prevails in high circles.

Result Still in the Dark.

st. Petersburg, March 24.-Two be-
lated press dispatches dated MulIden.
Marcl %, have been received. They
refer briefly to the last bombardment
of Port Arthur, but shed no new
light on the result of the combat. The
Novosti holds that the failure of this
bombardment, despite the different
disposition of the enemy's ships from
that of the fruitless attack of March
9th, confirms the opinion of the in
ability of the Japanese to effectively
conduct war.
