five Of our torpedo boat destroyers had

Late War News.

London, March16.-A correspondent
Of the Daily Mail at Newohwang says
that the removal Of the battleship Ret
visan, four Russian steamers, the Har-
bin, the Halter, the Ningunta and tho
Snugari, were anchored at the mouth
Of the entrance of Port Arthur in pro-
Der positions and sunk, leaving only .
small channel available, Vice Admiral
Makaroff having previously ordered
the whole feet to remain outside with
steam up, economy in coal being un-
necessary.
This dispatch which is prominently
displayed by the Daily Mail, and which
the correspondent says is, ION Russian
information, is, If true, news Of the
first Importance, confirming the idea
that Vice Admiral Makaroff will adopt
the offensive and make desperate eff
fort to bring together Russia 8 scattered
naval force or endeavor to inflict dam
age upon the Japanese navy.
A correspondent of the Telegraph At
Yinkow merely says:
"vice Admira Makaroff has issued
an order to the effect that the saving
of coal is unnecessary but that the big
gun ammunition in the forts must not
be wasted.
Evidently this ammunition is running
short"
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic CORES
pondent sends an unconfirmed rumor
that the Japanese marines have landed
and occupied Dalny.
1t may be remarked that the British
newspapers all regard Vice Admiral
Togo's report that he has laid mines at
Port Arthur as mere bluff and they say
that such feat would be impossible
under fire.
The Daily Mail thinks that il Vice
Admiral Makaroff closed the channel
it was in order to prevent the ingress
Of Japanese torpedo boats as was done
at Weihaiwei during the Chino-Japan-
csc war.

and conjecture that nothing has been

Through a friends advice l purchased
six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"At first l could see but little bene-
fit, but after two weeks, l could see
an improvement. l had been getting
up several times at night and pains
in my back were very severe. When
l had taken six boxes l felt better
than l had for years. The pain had
all gone and l didn't have to get up
during the night at all. l continued
the treatment until had used several
more boxes, and now l am glad to
say that I am completely cured"
