Chinese continue to escape from Port Arthur,
but little trust is placed in their statements.

The Russians recently purchased 1900 junks'

prevent the produce Of that section from being

4 BLOCKADE DECLARED.
Fortress Cut Off by Land and Sea
The Russian DefenceS.

Chicago. May PA dispatch TO The Daily
News" from Che-Foo says:
Japan announces that the entire coast OF the
Lao Tung Peninsula lying south OF a line
between Pitsu-Wo on the east and Polan-Tien
the west is in state of effective blockade
by the japanese navy. The declaration states
that the blockade will be maintained.
The japanese government has evidently re-
Trained from declaring the peninsula III q state
of blockade until now. because II Is held IN IN
ternational law that blockade. 10 be effectlNe,
The United States has always maintained that
a proclamation or ideal blockade of an extensive
coast. not supported by the actual presence or
q naval power competent TO enforce It's slmul-
teneous. constant and effective operation on
every point of such coast, is Illegal through its
whole extent, even for ports which may be IN
actual blockade. The blockade proclamation
by Japan throws the burden of proof on vessels
attempting to run the blockade.
Considerable delay is expected before the
Japanese follow up their reported victories on
the narrowest part OF the Kin Chow isthmus.
The fighting which preceded the fall Of Kin
Chow must have been exhausting and the en-
suing pursuit must have left the Mikado's troops
IN no condition for quick descent on General
StoesseIs second line Of defence.
On the left flank the Russians are protected
by the muddy foreshore Of Kin-Chow Bay; on
the right by the Notifications Of Dalny, while
their main position is strongly fortified by a
series Of batteries. The japanese viii thus be
compelled not only 10 make a frontal attack
but 10 encounter the fire of many guns ad-
vanta geousIv placed.
