Togo Reports Explosions.
TOKYO, May IL noon).-Admiral Togo
reports that since the 9th of May many ex-
plosons have been heard coming from the
vicinity of Port Arthur, but their cause has
not been ascertained. The impression here
Is that the Russians. despairing of their
ability to defend Port Arthur, are destroy
ing their ships before evacuating the place.
Some days ago reports were sent out re-
garding similar explosions being heard in
the vicinity of Port Arthur, and it was
stated then that the Impression prevailed
that the Russians were endeavoring TO clear
tho harbor of distractions sunk by the
Japanese.
1t is impossible to give an accurate list of
the effective Russian WarShlpS at Port Ar
thur, but some idea of the state of the fleet
can be formed from the official report of
Viceroy Alexieff TO Emperor Nicholas con-
corning the engagement of April 13, in
which the Petropavlovsk was sunk and the
Pobieda was seriously damaged In this
report the viceroy said: THE whole effect
i've squadron at Port Arthur sailed out"
He then enumerated the units of the
fleet the first-class battle ships Peresviet,
Pobieda, Polta, Petropavlovsk and Sevas-
topol, the armored cruiser Bayan the first
lass protected cruisers Askold and DIANA
two torpedo cruisers and five torpedo boat
destroyers
1t will therefore be seen that on April A.
the day after the destruction of the Petro-
pavlovsk, the Russians at Port Arthur had
available three battle ships, one armored
cruiser and three protected cruisers where
as on February l they had available at
Port Arthur seven battle ships, one armored
cruiser, five protected cruisers and one
torpedo transport. The number of torpedo
boats or torpedo boat destroyefs effective
or disabled Is not known.
