the Vladivostok squadron dynamited its
way through the ice in the harbor last
Tuesday and put to sea. The report
states, further, that it is conjectured at

the outer harbor. The. nfghts.was dark.
On the next, morning, however, Maka-
roff's vessels were discovered by Togo's

north, the Russians returned to Port
Arthur, where they still remain.

st. Petersburg, March 19.-A CORE
spondent, who has just visited Port
Arthur, telegraphs from Mukden as fol-
lows: Despite the various lombard
ments at Port Arthur the external aspect
of the city remains unchanged, although
the enemy fired an enormous number of
projectiles. The enemy in endeavoring
to stand as far as possible outside the
range of the Russian batteries. rendered
their own fire ineffective. Six hours of
firing by the heaviest guns during the
last bombardment did not demolish a
single building, but cost a few lives"

According to information received
from Russians at Shanghai during the
fighting at Port Arthur February 10 and
February IL the battleship Mikasa was
struck by ten projectiles and seriously
damaged. Two Japanese battleships and
two cruisers have been locked for repairs

No japanese in Manchuria.
Newchwang, March 19.-Rumors that
the Japanese have established themselves
in southern Manchurla are unworthy of
credence. No Japanese have been seen
north of the Yalu, and none Of their

beginning of the march. On the other
hand, the Russians are reported to have
crossed the Yalu to the south, leaving a
