enemy further south, IN the hope that
the Rurik would manage to dispose of
her two comparatively weaker oppo>

damages to her rudder she would be
able to reach vladivoStok Independents

Taking advantage OF the calm We
stopped our engines and quickly CONS

st. Petersb arg, Aug, 1a.--Late today
the admiralty received official informa-
tion from Vice Admiral Prince oukto-
msky that ave battleships and the
cruiser Pallada are at Port Arthur.
The hope OF accomplishing the cher>
the two Russian far eastern squadrons
to await the coming OF the Baltic fleet
seems now almost hopeless. as this
fighting strength of the Port Arthur
squadron has been greatly reduced and
there is no longer any possibility OF
aid from tht. Vladivostok squadron.
Nevertheless The admiralty expects the
battleships. II they have returned to
Port Arthur. TO rally forth again even
to certain destruction. But the where's
abouts of the battleship division and
protected cruisers Diana and Pallada
are not considered here to be absolut-
ely established. The weight of opinion
continues to correspond with the for

at Port Arthur, but some officials a.,
the admiralty cling to the hope that
they escaped. Chefoo reports received
