Chinese Admiral Reports Continuance
of Port Arthur Battle.
CHEFU, April 15.-Admiral Tsah. in
command of the Chinese cruiser squad
ron, reports that he heard intermit-
tent firing in the direction of Port Ar
thur all day yesterday (Thursday).
1t is believed by naval and military
men here that Russia cannot recover
from yesterdays disaster in time to
offer successful resistance to Japan's
landing programme in Manchuria. 1t
is thought that Admiral Togo will fol-
low up the advantage which either
good fortune or good Seamanship has
given him by further offensive opera
tions. Meanwhile a portion of his
fleet, comprising more than forty yes
sells, Will cover the debarkation of
large forces in Manchuria
Big events are not expected in the
vicinity of the Yalu until the Man
churian campaign begins. 1t is re-
garded as certain that the Japanese,
unless the Russians voluntarily with
draw into the interior, will not attempt
to cross the Yalu in great force until
such a movement can be made to syn
chronize with operations in the Rus
sian rear. The fact that the Japanese
are oStentatiouSly reporting the land
ing of war correspondents at Chemulpo
is deemed suggestive of the likelihood
that blow will shortly fall elsewhere
than in Northern Korea. 1t is well to
note that the British military attache
and also a number of war correSpon-
dents are not with the army in Korea,
but are remaining behind, apparently
in order to accompany the headquar-
ters staff to Manchuria.
1t has been asserted from Japanese
sources here that the attack on the
Russian Port Arthur feet of yester-
day morning was planned and put into
effect in the following manner: AT
daylight the Japanese torpedo-boats
made demonstration before the port
and at the same time laid mines across
the outer entrance to the harbor. They
then retired and joined the main squad
ron. The squadron then advanced and,
as it drew near, the Russian ships
were seen coming out. The battleship
Petropavlovsk struck one of the mines
laid by the Japanese torpedo-boats and
was destroyed.
