Some Russian peniaIs.

st. Petersburg, May 11.-No news has
e received from the seat of war
confirmatory Of the many rumors Of
heavy fighting which are drifting in
from abroad, mainly through Japanese
sources. There were violent thunder
storms over Siberia last night and the
telegraph is working badly today.
News that has reached the emperor has
not been made public, as his majesty
left Tsarskoe Seio early this morning
TO attend a review n had not re-
turned late his afternoon. The gem
err. staff admits # is without advices
whether the railroad or telegraph to
Port Arthur is still open. Upon several
points, however, specific information is
vouchsafed.
The idea that the Russian squadron
at Port Arthur is being destroyed TO
prevent its falling into the hands of
the enemy is secuted at the admiralty,
where the statements made by the As
ISOLATED Press last might are reiterated
I'VE are not going 10 repeat the mis-
take we made at S~ebastopol,' said Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky, commander OF
the Baltic feet. IF worst comes 10
worst the squadron will put to sea,
engage the enemy and infict as much
damage as possible before going to the
bottom. But you "a say this, that it
is a little early yet to talk of such des-
peration."
No Fights Are Reported.
The general staff is positive there
was no fight at Mao Tien Ling pass,
for the simple reason the Russians do
not occupy 1t. Only a few scouts were
left there, and according to their re-
ports the Japanese forces at Feng
Wang Cheng we're divided In two IN
advancing. one part moving forward
toward Lao Yang, and the other
marching towards Hal Cheng. Both
LAO Yang and New Chwang are six
days march from Feng Wang Cheng.
Therefore, they argue. n fight os i'm
portance is Impossible for at least two
days.
The general staff is without in
formation regarding the reported
death OF Lieutenant General Sassa-
Itch. declaring that IT is not credit
able. Thel possibility OF a small
engagement at Wa Flung Tien IL
admitted, although no information
has been received. but II an engagement
has occurred there, they insists that
IT could not have been OF Importance,
as the garrison Is small. The Russian
force at New Chwang is withdrawing.
