RAILROAD AGAIN OPEN.

Russians Assert That Communication
With Port Arthur Has Been Restored.
ST. Petersburg May 1t.-Absoute
confirmation Of the report that rail-
road communication with Port Arthur
Is again open has been obtained.
According to information received
Nv the general stan, the bridge blown
up by the Japanese near Port Adams,
Liaotung peninsula. has been repaired
and the permanent way is uninsured.
Telegraphic communication with Fort
Arthur is not yet open.
II is reported that Lieutenant General
Stoessel. commander Of the military
forces at Port Arthur, has successfully
engaged and driven on the enemy The
general staff has no confirmation Of
this report and explains the with
drawal Of The Japanese from the rail-
road as being either due to pressure
from General stoessel or to the forces
left by General Kuropatkin at kalping
ana other points on the railroad
While without definite information
the impression here is that the
strength Of the japanese force landed
1T pitsewo was oyerestimated and that
either il was not strong enough to take
charge of tie railroad or il moved
eastward along the littoral TO effect a
junction with the Yalu army.
An imperial ukase just issued calls
out tie reserves Of several districts in
the governments Of Poltaya, Kursk,
Kharkov, Ryazan, kaluga and Iula,
