recommendation of the engineer officer
in charge, approved by the chic of en-
gineers and paid for out OF appropr1a-
tons for lake harbors.

appropriations for the harbors in ques-

St. Petersburg Hungers for News.

that no official dispatches giving de-

press dispatches are so meager as TO
becloud rather than enlighten the
people, who are hourly awaiting news.
THE Associated Press has obtained
from the general staff the Following
clear statement of the situation: Be

of three divisions and three reserve

that it would be impossible to prevent

JAPs CROSS AT TWO POINTS
That Fact Il Known by the Russians
Cossacks on Watch.

That Fact Il Known by the Russians
Cossacks on Watch.
After remarking that there never
were in war history but two cases
where an army was unable to cross a
river. and that in both cases it was
due to flood, the staff officer said: 1.-THE
Yalu proved no exception to the estab-
lished rule. We know that the Japanese
crossed at least at two points. Their
first attempt to force passage near
Chand Che Kow, twenty miles above
VIII, near Siaopoussikhe, on the Pous-
sikhe, a tributary of the Yalu, was
successful. This is important, because
a road leads from Siaopoussikhe north
east to Kwan Tien, which commands
one of the roads to Mukden.
1T is evident that the Japanese de-
voted most of their attention to cross
ing near Wiju. Up the stream near
Sindiagou the japanese were watched
by a small detachment of Cossacks,
but the enemy was practically unop-
posed. AT Turenchen, lower down, our
outposts directed a fire from field
piece so successfully that they de-
stroyed the moorings and wrecked the
pontoons. The enemy was thrown into
disorder and suffered considerable
loss"
A military expert who is particular
" impressed with the japanese Cross
ing near Siaopoussikhe said that the
use of the road tiserefrom would ena-
BILE the enemy not only to march upon
Mukden but to outfiank the Russian
position at Feng Huan Cheng and cut
off any of General Rennenkampf's Cos
sacks who may have gone to join the
attack on Gen-San.

Report That He viii Have Yeszen Court
Martiaied Popular Spirits Revived.
st. Petersburg, April 29.-The op-
erations of the Vladivostok squadron
have revived the spirits of the people
of St Petersburg, who have been
downcast since the destruction of the
Petropavlovsk, and the consequent con-
finement of the remnant of the Port
Arthur feet to the harbor The fact
that the navy is doing something Of
an offensive character appeals to the
popular mind, which has been unable
to appreciate the reason for the mac
tivity of the fine ships of the vIadi-
vOstok squadron.
ST. Petersburg abounds with rumors
regarding the sinking Of the Japanese
military transport the Kin Shiu Maru.
One report has it that 5000 men were
aboard the transport when she went
down, but the admiralty insists that
there were only 200 1t is said that
the emperor is highly indignant over
the affair, and that he will relieve
Yeszen and order him to be court
martialed.
This report lacks confirmation In re-
sponsible naval circles, where it is re-
iterated that no other course could be
pursued, and that the admiral only
fired when the Japanese categoricaily
refused to surrender and adopted a
hostile attitude.
London, April 29.-The sinking Of
the Japanese transport by the russian
squadron is much commented on here
as proving that the Japanese placed
too great confidence in their command
Of the sea, and there is no doubt It will
induce greater vigilance on their part
