STORY COMES FROM TOXIC
Object is to Consolidate Czar'S
 Naval Strength.
In. St. Petersburg It Is Gtrenuously Denied That Russia W:ll Allow Its Hold on Port Arthur,
 to Loosen.

Tokio. March 15.-It Is strongly believ- cd here that the Russian fleet abandoned Port Arthur after the fourth attack was made upon it by the Japanese fleet. and is endeavoring to reach Vladive stok.
 Confirmation of this movement Is not obtainable from any reliable sonrce, but recent scouting in the vicinity of Port Arthur has failed to reveal the presence of any Russian .warships. It seems log ical enough that the Russians should at tempt a dash for vladiyostok. where it is possible to dock larger ships. effect junction with their armored cruiser squadron and secure a base for opera tions while possessing adequate land de- lenses. .a
 The hopelessness of continuing at Port Arthur is manifest. while a dash for Vladivostok might succeed. contrary to the opinion previously expressed.
 Vice Admiral Togo Is unwilling to run the risk of dividing his battleship squad- ron. and continues to operate the six battleships together. If the Russians should make an attempt to reach Vlad- ivostok 1t is believed they will try dash through the Korean straits rather than enter the Japanese sea through the Su- garu straits. ---
