PORT ARTHUR IMPREeNABLE.

This To Be True.

st. Petersburg, May 16.-It is evil
dent from private letter written by
an artillery officer at Port Arthur
dated April 20, that General Stoessel,
the Russian commander there was
then daily expected the cutting off of
ported everything was ready to with
stand siege, and expressed surprise
at the fact that the enemy had delayed
SO long. He said the fortress was
practically impregnable, adding that
there was triple row of forts around
the Port Arthur glaces exposed to
front by a moat with hedge of
barbed wire beyond, with bomb proofs
behind all the batteries The officer
further declared that they had plenty
of supplies and ammunition and that
the garrison was in excellent spirits
and confident of being able to hold out
for nine months or year against any
number of the enemy, even if they
possessed siege guns. General Kura-
patlzin offered General Stoessel rein
forcements, but the latter declined
them, saying he had enough men and
did not care to run the risk of an cpl
demic as the result of over-crowding.

staff indicates there is much sickness

The Work of Constructing The Port
And The Town. Which Has 10000
Population.
Population.

St. Petersburg, May 1.-THE car
has received from Viceroy Alexieff the
news of the destruction by Russians of
the docks and piers at Port Dalny,
Lao Tung peninsula, presumably to
render more difficult japanese land
ing at that point.
Port Dalny, on Talien Wan Bay on
sula, was intended by Russia to be the
chief commercial emporium of its
eastern dominions. An edict providing
for its construction was issued by the
Russian emperor July 80, 1899, and
Port Dalny fully equipped with all
modern improvements, docks, ware
houses and railroad facilities, was
opened to commerce in December, 1901.
Talien Wan Bay is one of the finest
deep water harbors on the Pacific. 1t
is free from ice in winter time and
ships drawing thirty feet of water can
enter at low tide without difficulty and
without the aid of pilots can sail or
steam alongside the immense docks and
piers, where their cargoes can be load
ed into railroad cars and run direct for
5000 miles into the city of st. Peters
burg. Five large piers had been con-
structed, each supplied with numerous
railroad tracks and immense ware
houses aud elevators. Gas, electric
| lights and water works and a large
break water were being instructed SO
that ships could lie at the piers and
load and unload regardless of weather.
Docks for foreign vessels, steam and
sail, extended between the piers and
along the shore for two miles. There
were two first class dry docks. one in
tended for ordinary ocean steamers
and the ether designed to accommodate
the largest vessels of war or commerce.
Over Sc, 200, 900 had been expended
on the harbor system before the end of
1902 and it was estimated that the cost
of completing the works would be
nearly $40, 900, 900 but this does not in
any way represent the total cost of the
erection of this great commercial port,
which, with Port Arthur distant about
twenty miles was leased by the Chinese
government to Russia in 1898.
Nearly $4,000 men were employed
daily on the work of constructing the
port and town. The total population
had been estimated at about 1000,
mostly Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and
Russians.
