FOOD GOING HIGHER.
New Yorke. ) Find Eating Is a Very
Expensive Luxury and Get
tina More So.

New York, Feb. ALPHABETICALLY all food.
sturfs, except eggs, ave reached extreme
ly high prices in this city. owing largely
to unfavorable weather. Prices which
were thought to be high a week or two
ago now look reasonable for nearly eyery-
thing that reaches the table.
Fish, clans, oysters and Holsters are
most affected by the severe winter. Oys-
tiers never have been SO scarce, none COM
ing to the market. except from Providence
river beds. Lobsters, hich have been
growing scarcer for years. are now hard
ly obtainable.
There is a fairly ample supply Of cod
and haddock, but the fresh fish, that Is,
1lsh not frozen and transported a consid-
cradle distance, are scarce. Potatoes,
Deans. cabbage. lentils, beets and other
vegetables are higher han they have
been for years. Bread and rolls are being
raised In various parts of the city, and
concerted action along this line probably
will be taken at a meeting to be held next
Monday.
In the tenement house section, where
lentil soup, cabbage, beans and potatoes
are staple articles Of food, the peddlers
even have raised their prices a couple
OF cents on each article sold.

KEEPING THEM BUSY.
Japanese Naval Object at Presen.
Seems to Be to NeutraIize tho
Russian Fleet.

London, March 1.-The Tines mill.
tary correspondent writes:
One must take the Japanese pro.
ceedings at Port Arthur as an intima.
ton that decisive events are in prog
ress elsewhere, and that the task allot-
ted TO he navy is to keep the Russian
squadron fully occupied in its own de-
fense. No doubt there was an au-
oac1ous attempt on the night of Febru-
airy 23 to block the channel Of Port Ar
thur. 1t seems q fair conclusion that
the entrance was only DISTRACTED and
not closed. General Plug reports a
renewal Of the attack February "a,
without details.
Even If these attempts were not
completely successful, they fulfill the
japanese navy's ask Of claiming the
enemy to a strict defensive policy. If
the report from Vladivostok is to be
credited, Vice Admiral Kamimura is
now on the Russian coast line in the
north, and should the report be CON
1lrmed, the resulting increase Of naval
tension would point to the ST. king of
the hour Oh commencement of serious
operations on land. Unless the Russian
destroyers at Port Arthur can gain
the open sea unobserved and reach the
point OF assembly of the japanese
transports during the critical operation

accompanied by the gradual breaking
up of all roads, and says the troops
north of Seoul find marching laborio,s.
This circumstance, with the fact that
Chinnapho Will be open in fourteen
days, explains the lull in d~ebarkation
Of troops.
The correspondent says the opinion in
Seoul of the Japanese-Korean agree
mcnt, is thai it is evidence Of Japan's
desire to make the situation regular in
foreign eyes, while it saves Korea,s
face. 1t is important as indicating
Japan's intention to place Korea and
ats emperor in q position similar to that
of Egypt and the khedive.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the telegraph states positively that

JAPs LOSTvESsELS?
Four Less of Them Took Part in the
Latest Encounter Than in Previous
One, Suggesting They May Be

st. Petersburg, March 1.-The czarhas
received the following from Viceroy
Alexieff, dated Port Arthur. February
26:
Early in the morning of February
rs the Retvizan repealed several at
tacks by the eneIny's torpedo boats,
two Of which are believed to have sunk
in the open sea- Our torpedo boats,
unsupported, encountered and pursued
the enemy's torpedo boa lotilla- They
sighted no large warships. Later In
the morning the cruisers Bayan, Diana,
Askold and Novik were sent out to pre-
vent the Japanese cruisers from pur-
suing a portion of our returning tor
pedo boa tlotilla. One of our torpedo
boats, which was cut off by four Japa-
nese cruisers, sought shelter in Dove
bay, where it vas subjected to a long
distance fire by the enemy. 1t had no
casualties.
The Japanese feet, on sighting u
cruisers came In closer to the forts,
which, together with u warships,
opened fire at 1880. Our cruisers, still
firing, entered The harbor, which our
torpedo boats had already safely
reached.
1.-THE enemy's shells for the most
part fell short. One seaman was
wounded, but we sustained no other
casualties. The Japanese fleet con
sisted Of seventeen large warships and
eight torpedo boats, whereas the squad
ron which attempted to block the en-
trance to Port Arthur on the previous
day had twelve torpedo boats"

BALTIC FLEET NEXT.
Russians Planning to Send It in the

Garded as confirming the report that
Genera kouropatkin Will not leave for

.pleta and an army of 100000 is assem-

coincide with the commencement OF

object will be to regain the command
of the sea n cut off the japanese
army from its base. With Russia COM
mamding the sea the provisioning Of
the japanese army would be difficult.
In naval circles here it Is considered
that the Baltic fleet will experience
great difficulty in reaching the far east
o account of the impossibility Of OBJ
tanning a sufficient supply Of coal on
the route. 1t means that the fleet must
be accompanied by GOLFERS and take

! Speaking Of Mr.. Kruger, General VII

My information regarding the late

health is very poor, and it is apparent
to those close to him hat the end Is
approaching. He Ives in almost entire
%seclusion and rarely conyerses with
anyone. When he does engage in con-
,versation his lone is sad and pathetic
and the sentences are disconnected. His
compatriots applied unsuccessfully to
the British government for permission
for his return to South Africa to spend
the last days of his life in his native
country.
THE ex-president Is 81 years old. AT

was in perfect health INC sound Of In

ARE CUT OFF FROM BASE

London, March 2.-EIngland is waking
up TO q new surprise in the oriental
war. 1t is asking itself II Japan is
getting ready to do. or even has already
bali accomplished, a turn on land that
achievement Of the initial naval victor
les.
There is evidence that this is to be
accomplished. II s~trategists are
studying the war maps With utmost
easerness. They are putting together
the things they know and those they
suspect. in the effort to calculate the
real motif of Japan's land campaign.
The more they study it the more they
incline 20 believe that Russia, with her
eyes wide open, has been caught nap
ping Oh the Ialu just as she was caught
at Port Arthur.
1t is plain hat Russia was not look
lng for the Japanese move against
N~ladiEoStoll, any more than the rest of
The world was. 1t is accepted in all
quarters that the meager reports Of
Japanese activities In that region are
correct, for the silence and secrecy pre-
served about the movements Of the
Japanese transports Indicate that
troops have been at other places than
The Korean points from which reports
have been obtained.
Between Two Fires.
1t is believed by many military mer
that Russia now has an army OF from
10000 to $4,000 men strung along the
iaIN, with q superior Japanese force
IN front n al equal japanese force
N the rear. Cut off from c~ommunica-
lions, the Russians are faced with the
ecessity Of fighting or ~surrendering.
To fight means defeat. To surrender
means humiliation and an almost GER
tain japanese victory in the war. 1t
WOULD be impossible for Russia, If his
army We're destroyed, successfully to
continue a defense of Manchuria. The
failNoad. N~ladivostok, Hardin, Mukden
and Port Arthur would be lost to her.
Her attention would be perilous In the
extreme.
The Japanese army landed in the
Possi6t bay neighborhood is supposed
to be closing in on the rear of the Rus
slams. 1t Is thought the Russians must
be whipped IN decisive engagement or
surrender. Distance from Hardin is SO
great that reinforcements scarcely can
react them in time to be of service.
Cut OFF From Base.
There is nothing to prevent japan
from adding to the strength Of either
Of her armies, and with a base of sup
plies on the coast above the Yalu and
one at Ping Yang, the Russians along
the Ialu are considered to be in a post
lion from which they cannot be extrl-
Gated.
Coupled with the news Of a successful
invasion OF Manchuria at a point least
expected by Russia reports come from
Vladivostok, the Russian base in the
north. that a fleet of nine warships, pre-
sumably Japanese, was seen off there
on Wednesday, but vanished in the fog.
1t is probable hat the Japanese in
tend to attack the Russian city and at
the same time destroy the V~ladivostok
tleet of four warships, which has al
ready done some damage to Japanese
hipping.
