BUT ONE REGIMENT REMAINS
MOST OF THE RUSSIAN GARRISON
AT NEWCHWANG HAS
DEPARTED.

Newchwang, May 11.-Of the five
Russian regiments which We're in the
garrison here four have left and the
other received orders to go, but this
order was cancelled an hour later.
The Russians are strongly en-
trenched at Anping, where the guns
from the Newchwang forts have been
sent.
There is an unconfirmed native re
port that the Russians are attempting
to induce tie Chinese guilds to take
over the local government here in case
of the complete evacuation of the
town. If this is done the foreign con
suls will protest.
Colon.l Muenthe, the military ad
wiser of Viceroy Yam Shi Kai, comman-
der-in-chief of the Chinese forces, ar
rived here during the afternoon. II
is believed he came to Newchwang To
confer with the Russians regarding
the proposal to turn Newchwang over
to the Chinese.
The Russians are known TO be com
municatine with the Chinese brigands
and to be stirring up a state of terror
among natives.

JAPAN'S AIMS LEGITIMATE.
Course She Will Follow in Event Of
Success in War.


London, May 11.-Baron Suyematsu,
son-ia-law of Marquis Ito and former
Japanese minister of the interior, who
lately arrived here by way of the
United States, in the course OF an in
terview with reference to the fears
expressed on the Continent as to the
effect of Japanese successes on Japan's
policy after the war, declared emphat-
ically that Japan's policy is well de-
fined and her success Will make no
difference. The future status of Ko-
rea would be that of Japanese Cuba
or Japanese Egypt. Russia will not
be allowed the least political or terri
torial hold there. Regarding Manchu-
ria Japan desires no rights there be-
yond what are enjoyed by the other
powers. Manchuria will be given back
10 China, but under conditions. Pos
sibly Manchuria may be made buffer
state under ChiIfDs sovereignty.
Discussing China's neutrality Nj.
Suyematsu said the chief danger was
Russia, which was either willingly or
unconsciously irritating the Chinese,
thus tending to breach of neutrality
He did not believe that any change
in China's attitude would involve

NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION
RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES SILENT
CONCERNING GENERAL KU.
ROPATkiN'S PLANS.

St Petersburg. May 11.--Although
II is hardly credited here, as it is
known that General Kuropatkin is
Withdrawing his advance posts along
the Manchurian littoral on Liaoyang,
it Is announced from Mukden that the
railroad between Port Arthur and Lao
yang has been prepared and is work
ing. Haicheng, north of Newchwang,
is already~reported to have been evac-
uated, but there is nothing official on
this point The Russian garrison still
remains at Newchwang, but the aban
donment of that place is only consid
cred to be a question of days.
The army organ assumes that the
Russians are retiring on Liaoyang,
leaving temporarily" the defense of
Port Arthur TO the naval squadron
and garrison. The organ also assumes
that the Japanese have already land
ed at Takushan west of the Ialu river,
thus assuring a junction between Gen
eral kuroki's al my and the Japanese
forces on the peninsula. The army or
gan thinks the force disembarked at
Takushan is probably part OF the Third
army, concerning the mobilization OF
which the Japanese have so assiduous-
ly spread misleading reports 1t com
ments ON the retirement from Feng
huancheng. which it considers to be
of no strategieal importance.
There is a complete absence Of Off
cial information. The authorities are
as silent as the grave concerning Gen
eral Kuropatkin's plans, only declar-
ing that his tactics will be vindicated.
The report of the appearance of the
enemy at Kwantiensieng, on the Muk-
den road from the Yalu, causes some
disquietude. The report is three days
old. Only small detachments of in
fantry and cavalry then appeared, but
it is possible that they were advance
skirmishers of General Kuroki's Fourth
division, who were sent northward to
protect the Japanese right flank. II
the Japanese could get on this road,
above Liaoyang, the Russian position
there would be threatened.

FIRED ON RED CROSS TRAIN.
Russia Protests to Powers Against
Japanese Action.

st. Petersburg, May 11-Russia has
protested to the powers signatory of
The Hague and Geneva conventions
against che action of the Japanese in
firing on the Red Cross train from
Port Arthur May when, of 200 sick
and wounded on the cars. two were
struck by the japanese bullets.
The general staff is authority for the
statement that the health of the Rus
sian troops is exceptionally good, con-
sidering the filthy Chinese novels
along the line OF march, which IL was
sometimes impossible TO keep the men
from entering. The total number Of
cases in the hospitals does not exceed
/ per cent OF the Russian forces. The
condition of Mukden IL no worse than
other places.

RUSSIAN FORCE ON LiAOTUNG
PENINSULA SUCCESSFULLY
ENGAGES ENEMY.
RAILROAD AGAIM IN FULL OPERATION
LINE RUNNING TO PORT ARTHUR
REPAIRED AND coMMUNIcA-
TlON RESTORED.

st. Petersburg. May IL The CORE
spondent of the Associated Press has
obtained absolute confirmation of the
report that railroad communication
with Port Arthur is again open.
According to information received
by the general staff the bridge blown
up by the Japanese near Port Adams,
Liaotung peninsula. has been repaired
and the permanent way is uninjured.
Telegraphic communication with Port
Arthur is not yet open.
1t is reported that Lieutenant Gen
eral Stoessel, commander of the mill
tary forces at Port Arthur, has sue
cessfally engaged and driven off the
enemy. The general staff has no con-
flrmation of this report and explains
the withdrawal of the Japanese from
the railroad as being either due to
pressure from General Stoessel or to
the forces left by General Kuropatkin
at Kaiping and other points on the
railroad.
While without definite information
the impression here is that the
strength the Japanese forces landed
at PitSewo was overestimated and that
either it was not strong enough 10
take charge Of the railroad or it moved
eastward along the littoral to effect a
junction with the Ialu army.
The emperor received the news of
the reopening of communication with
Port Arthur during the evening and
seemed greatly pleased. He had a
message from Port Arthur an hour be-
fore by pigeon post via Liaoyang, re
porting that all was well at the fort
reSs.
AS General Stoessel has not reported
the investment of Port Dalny the re-
ports from abroad OF its capture by the
Japanese are now disbelieved by the
general staff.
Late in the day Viceroy Alexieff
telegraphed to the emperor as follows.
During the night of May $40 rail
road communication with Port Arthur
was restored. The telegraph line is
being repaired"
The admiralty has heard from Vladi-
vostok Rear Admiral JeSsen's squad
ron is there and reports all well.
