Halifax, N. S., June News was
received here from New Foundland. to-

SO miles off Bonnie Bay, and was at
tempting to get out of large body OF
ice. AS she did not display any signals
of distress it is thought she was max
ing good progress.
The sighting of the Nicholson was
not reported sooner on account Of the
lack of Geographic facilities on the

not been reported for several months
and recently marine men decided she
had been sunk. t
1t is believed she has been fast in the
ice fields for a month or more and has
not been able to communicate with
other vessels.

London, June 3.-The Times steamer

Port Arthur refugees that the native

food as arrives by junk from Chinese
ports, are what they have themselves
secretcd. The military authorities have
requisitiOned all available food. On
half ratiOns. it is estimated that the

IN ARMY CIRCLES.
Keen Interest at Washington in Nan.

Washington. June 2.-There is keen
interest in army circles in the artillery
operations which have made the battle of
Nanshan Hill one of the greatest of mod
ern military contests. All the details of
the various engagements are read with
consuming interest
The accounts from Port Arthur of the
use by the Russians of dismounted six
and elght-inch guns from their bottled-up
and disabled ships have especially arous-
ed the curiosity of the expert artillery
officers of the army. This is a last resort
of a beleaSucred army that is always call
culated to excite the liveliest hunger for
information among military students
AS a rule. the officers connected with the
artillery arm and these assigned to ey-
pert service are incredulous when they
are told that the Russians made use OF
cicht-inch naval guns at Nanshan Hin
An eight-inch gun weighs about Il tons
and while the Russians had the use of
the railroad to haul these guns the &c
miles distance to the Notifications where
they were used. it would have been prac-
tically an impossible task to drag them

A COUNCIL OF WAR
Decides That kuropatkin Must Try to
Relieve Port Arthur.

Paris, June 3.--The correspondent of
the Echo De Paris at st. Petersburg,
telegraphs:
"Viceroy Alexieff and Gen. Kuropat-
kin having asked the Emperor to set
tie their dispute His Majesty summon
ed a council of war, including Minister
of War SakharOff, Marine Minister
Avellan and Minister of the Interior
Plehve. The council debated for sever
al hours at Tsarskoys Selo.
Il have reason to believe that the
necessity of preserving the naval base
at Port Arthur and the loss of prestige
that the fall of Port Arthur would en-
tail were the arguments which pre-
vailed in the council.
Gen. Kuropatkin had therefore been
advised to attempt to relieve the fort
ress but to act with the greatest pru-
dcnce."

left all the principal military centers to
start on the long journey by the trans
Siberian Railway. but they do not seem
to have reached their destination.
The explanation probably is that
thousands of men are stranded at in
termeriate stations on the railway,
waiting for trains to take them on to
Hardin, and that thousands more are
scattered along the lines from Hardin
to Mukden and Hardin to Vladivostok,
guarding the communications.
Thus Gen. Kuropatkin finds himself
the center of the Japanese attack with
about 100000 men to oppose double that
number, while the rest of his forces are
scattered over hundreds of miles of ter
ritory and consequently useless.
