NEVIS FROM PORT ARTHUR
No attack from Sea Reported
Balloons Sent to StoeSSel.

St Petersburg May 1S.-The Admiralty re-
ceived to-day an official dispatch from Rear
Admiral Wittsoeft, believed 10 have been dated
from Port Arthur on May IA. reporting that
there had been no fighting afoat since the tele-
graph line was cut the japanese ships not hav-
ing attacked. Everything was well with the
Russian squadron.
The dispatch was gratifying 70 the authori-
ties. because II established the fact that sys-
TEN OF communication by means OF chinese
runners has been successful. In order 20 de-
liver the Liao-Yang dsptches the runner had 20
pass through the japanese line across the mar
row neck of the peninsula. above Port Arthur.
The passage Of the runner was dangerous. but
the task was light compared to what II will be
when the japanese forces closely invest Port
Arthur The authorities. however, express con-
fdence that arrangements have been made to
insure the frequent transmission Of cipher dis
patches.
one of the reasons for the desperate effort OF
the Russians TO get 10 Port Arthur what is Of
ficially called ammunition train has been
revealed by information which leaked out to-
day There was little need, It appears. for more
ammunition, great quantities being stored IN
the fortress but General Stoessel was exceed
ingly anxious to have balloons. The highest
point of the fortress is the Eagles Nest. from
which much Of the surrounding country can De

Before the war the Russian authorities loaded
on a vessel a complete balloon equipment for
Manchuria, but it was captured py the 1ap japan.

Port Arthur Recognizing the need of provid-
ing General Stoessel with all he needs to carry
on the defence of Port Arthur. General kuro-
patktn Is believed to have sent balloons on the
train. The Russian balloons are stationary

ANGRY AT ASPHALT TRUST
Venezuela Nay ReCoke the Ber-
NUDES Concession.

IFRoM SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT THE TRIBUNE
Caracas, Venezuela. May 9.-The special ses-
sion OF the Venezuelan Congress. or "Constitu-
yente." convened for the purpose of drafting a
new constitution has just ended its sessions with
the election of General Cipriano Castro as Pro-
visional President until January l. when the
new constitution will go into effect.
President Castro is daily gaining support from
the element which has been opposed to his gov
eminent policy. With long period of peace
practically assured. the commercial outlook in
Venezuela is promising.
The object of the constitution just completed
was TO make more harmonious the multitude of
amendments which the old one contained The
new constitution reduces the number Of States
TO fourteen. which before was twenty
According TO official information the govern
ment has paid in six months 100000 boIivares
which ii owed TO the Banco de Venezuela on
account of the last revolution II has paid the
interior loans and now has on deposit in London
100000 bOlivares. which is being added 10
monthly. for payment TO foreign powers Presi-
dent Castro is making an earnest effort 10 free
the country from the heavy weight of it's
financial obligations. to re-establish the nations
credit and to assure firm administration.
Much interest is manifested here over the con-
templated action OF the Venezuelan government
against the Asphalt Trust, for the latter's al
legged completely in the late rebellion Of General
Matos. The newspapers are aroused over the
developments. which. the government says,
prove the trust guilty Of aiding the revolt
OF Matos. The case. it is said officially is
strong, as no pains have been spared TO gather
all the evidence tending to incrininate the
American company Definite action will be taken
soon. and 1t Is regarded as probable that the
Bermudez asphalt concession held by the trust
will be revoked.
