 LONDON, May 1O.-Dispatches from Shanghai say that the Japanese have captured and occupied Dalny.
 The capture of Dalny by the Japa- nese is one of the biggest events of the war Dalny was Russia's most 1mpor- tant seaport on the Yellow sea. It lies on the east coast of the Liaotung pen insula, in Victoria bay, one of the in let's of Talienwan bay, where the Japa- nese have landed in force.
 Dalny was built almost in year to be the eastern terminus of the great Transsiberian railway, to be port where would assemble the commercial navies of the world. Erected in obe- dience to an edict of the czar dated July 8O 1899, Dalny was completed before an inhabitant lived there; was perfected, had tremendous piers, fine dwellings, public buildings, theaters, banks, parks, electric lights, trolley cars-literally every modern improve ment
 With their successive victories and few reverses the Japanese commanders have removed in & large measure the strict censorship maintained hitherto over achievements and to some extent over future movements. The forces under General Kuroki are pursuing their way without interference in the direction of I.iauyang, and the next great engagement of the war will take place there. The Japanese believe that General Kuropatkin will give battle. He has not been withdrawn by his government and will not remove his headquarters to Mukden, but will prob ably make stand at Liauyang.
 Port Arthur is now entirely sur rounded by the Japanese, who hold the railroad as well as the approach by sea.
 The evacuation of Newchwang is al most complete. The Russian authori- ties have promised to leave sufficient rear guard to prevent pillaging by the Chinese bandits who are in the vicinity and awaiting an opportunity to get in- te the city.
 The Russians are communicating cattle on the west side of the Liao riv- CT, and the Chinese are indignant at this procedure. Eight hundred head of cattle have been seen at Yinkow.
 Information has been received that Port Arthur has only coal sufficient to last the warships for six weeks and that the food supply there will feed 5000 men for three months only.
 A dispatch from Gensan, on the east coast of Korea, states that large Russian force, accompanied by many Manchurian mounted bandits, crossed the Yalu far above Wiju. the Japanese base four days ago and moved south east, occupying Changjin.
 This place Is hundred miles west of Songjtn. Nothing further has been heard of the movements of this Rus sian body, which was probably sent into Korea to harass the Japanese out posts and perhaps cover other move ments.
 It is believed that KeneraI Kuropat- kin may have in mind a design for fanking the Japanese along the Yalu.
 A St. Petersburg dispatch this morn ing says the war commission adjourn ed at a. late hour, but did not make public any dispatches from the far east. This is accepted as, an indication that no fresh fighting has occurred. The Cossacks in touch with the Japa- nese are simply small attachments which are observing the movements of the enemy in order to keep General Kuropatkin properly informed.
 A Tokyo report says that 15,O00 Russians are retiring from New chwang to Liaoyang.
 It also says that Chinese bandits have destroyed the road to Tashichia and to Haicheng. Tashichia is the junction for the Newchwang branch of the Port Arthur Mukden line, and Hail cheng is farther north on the main line. The Russians are making new road.
 Bandits have attacked and cut oth- CT parts of the railroad. The capture of Dalny will enable the Japanese to cut off Port Arthur's electrical supply.
 The Japanese have requested the United States government to inquire into the fate of forty men who were missing after the blocking of Port Ar thur It is believed that several of them were captured. A Seoul report<Says:
 Ut is believed here that portion of the Russian Vl.divostok fleet has been successfully shut out and is now in the sea of Japan trying to evade the Japanese"
 The Japanese may find weak spot i'll the defenses of Port Arthur, as be- fore, and it is believed ill some quar- tnrS fnat thov will repeat the tactics employed in the war with China and attempt an assault through the west ern defenses, which are known to be weak.
 Dispatches from Shanghai say that the Tartar general at Mukden has de clined to obey Niceroy Alexeieff's or der that the Chinese evacuate Mukden.
