SAY FORT WILL DESTROY FLEET
Russian Military Authorities Have No
Fears for Port Arthur.

Moscow, March 2. - Interest
throughout Russia is now fixed on
Port Arthur, and speculation as to the
probable fate of that supposedly i'm
pregnable fortress takes the widest
range.
The publication of General Stos-
sells order to the troops, while it has
had the effect of arousing enthusiasm
in Russia, had also attracted atten:
ton to the tremendous strategic val
lie of that fortress and to the crucial
part it plays in Russia's plans for the
defeat of the japanese in Corea.
While the failure of the Japanese
attempt to bottle up the fleet evoked
sarcastic comment from the Russian
press as to the Japanese cunning and
the miscarriage of the enemy's plans,
the Russian military authorities are
pointing out that this attempt having
been defeated, therefore it must fol
low Port Arthur is impregnable and
the Japanese can never capture it.

CHINA CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Russia Knows She Can Never Take

Up Siberian Railway as Per Lease.
Paris, March g. 3.-Information has
been received from Hardin which is
extremely interesting at the present
time, dealing as it does with the
Trans-Siberian Railway. A cores
pondent of Martin met M. Chaffaujon,
the noted French explorer, and the
latter discussed the railway, which
he has recently inspected. He de-
clares Russia does not own the land
the road is constructed on, despite the
general opinion to the contrary. Rus
sia merely has a 99-year contract or
lease.
M. Chaffaujon declares the treaty
with China stipulates that, if at the
end of SO years, China desires to en-
ter into possession of the line, she
may do so, after reimbursing the
company for all of it's expenditures
for the construction and maintenance
of the road.
M. Chaffaujon declares it is difficult
to imagine China refunding to this
Russian company the millions that
would be necessary under the lease,
and declares the Flowery Kingdom is
caught in trap.
The terms of the lease, also, he de-
clares, provides that Russia shall
have the right to place all of the SOL
diers necessary in the territory ad-
joining the line of road in order to
guard it, and also to build such sta
tions as it desires.

NO TROOPS TO GO.

Cabinet Decides to let Marines Re-
main at Panama.
Washington. March 3-Importan:
matters relating to the Panama canal
were under discussion by President
Roosevelt and his cabinet today. At
torney-General Knox and other off,
cials of the department of Justice
have under consideration the title to
the canal property, which is to be
passed to this country by the Panama
Canal Company, but as yet they have
reached no conclusion.
It was said after the meeting that
no money could be paid by this gov
eminent until a clear title to the prop
erty was obtained, but no intimation
was given as to the length of time
which might elapse before a decision
was reached.
The entire subject of the canal and
its construction was discussed in ad-
dition to the legal phases of the ques-
ton. In this connection it was decid-
ed, as heretofore indicated might be
the case, to countermand the orders
issued to the Third United States In
fantry to go to the isthmus to relieve
the marines now on guard duty there.
For some time the marines will con-
tinue to guard the isthmus. This gov
eminent is opposed to establishing
two jurisdictions On tbs isthmus, and,
as the naval vessels must remain
there, it was thought best to allow
the marines to continue to do land
duty.
1t is the earnest wish of the Presi-
dent and the members of the cabinet
that no unnecessary delay occur in be-
ginning the work on the canal, and it
is their intention to press it with the
utmost vigor.

RUSSIA IN FEAR.

Combination of YelIow~Races May Be
Formed Against Her.
Moscow, March 3.-Among thought
full Russians, there is constantly
deepening impression that Russia will
yet have to face the combined power
of the yellow races, the cunning neu-
trality proclamations, of China and
Corea to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. There are serious traces of des-
pondency among the better class of
Russians, and some solid Russion sue
cess is anxiously awaited and badly
needed as tonic.
The government, knowing this fact,
caused to be circulated report of a
Russian success at Port Arthur yes
terday, in which a Japanese warship
was said to have been sunk, but the
news was received with open skepti-
cism in the absence of direct official
confirmation. ....
It is semi-officially stated that the
Japanese and Russian advance are in
sight of each other, and news of the
first land battle is awaited with a de-
gree of apprehension.
News of the activity of the Chinese
troops in the province of Chi Ii is con-
frmed from official sources. Generals
Yuan Shi Kai and Ma are concentrat-
ing their foreign-drilled forces at
strategic points and trouble is feared.

Canal Commissioner Called to WASH

Washington, March Admiral
Walker, chairman of the Isthmlan ca

TO RENEW FIRE,
Japanese Ships Believed to BE Re-
pIenishing Supplies.

st. Petersburg, March 5.-The au-
thorities are badly puzzled at the ap-
parent disappearance of the Japanese
squadron which has been investing
Port Arthur, and are inclined to be-
lieve that the ships are being coaled
and their ammunition supply replen-
ished, in order to renew the lombard
ment at an early date.
The report which is being persis-
tently circulated by the Official news
agency that the Japanese have retirel
discouraged at their lack of success in
damaging the fortress, and the severe
injury to some of their ships, is laugh
ed at by the best-posted of the naval
experts here. They point out that the
ships of the Japanese squadron have
used great deal of ammunition in
their several bombardments of the
fortress, and declare it was to be ex-
pected they would have to withdraw to
their base in order to load supplies
and coal.

London. March Little change in
the Far Eastern situation is reported
this morning. 1t is apparent that the
Japanese are busily engaged in trans
porting their forces into Corea, and
this work is facilitated by the enforc-
ed inactivity of the navy.
According to the Sebastopool cor
respondent of the Daily Graphic, Ad-
1niral skrydlof has learned privately
from Port Arthur that the Russian
battleship Retzivan lies in such po-
-sition as to block effectually the exit
of battleships from the harbor, the
passage being practically only the
cruisers. The correspondent adds that
Russia's new battleships now building
on the Baltic will not be ready for &C.
tive commission before the end OF Au-
gust.
The Japanese officer who has charge
of Japan's financial and commercial In
terests in England declares that the
government foresaw the possibility OF
coal being declared contraband OF war,
and that it had been collecting large
stores or W6lSQ SL0dm COdi 1oA JOoA %

SUNK BY SHELLS
RUSSIANS AGAIN LOSE IN BATTLE
AT PORT ARTHUR.
One Torpedo Boat Sunk and Two Battle
ships Badly Damaged = Attacking
Fleet Which Withdraws In Good Or
der. Is Met Outside, but Opponents
Soon Seek Shelter.

London, March "A dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph from Yinkow,
dated February 20, says:
Fifteen Japanese warships furious
ly bombarded Port Arthur from 10 un-
til IL o'clock this morning. The Rus
sian cruisers Novik, Askold and Bay
an, accompanied by four torpedo
boats, steamed out TO meet the at
tack. They we're. however, forced to
retire. The Askold was in a sinking
condition. The Novik was badly dam
aged, and torpedo-boat was sunk.
The Russian battleship Retvizan
was again damaged. The Japanese
withdrew in good order.
This battle shows a repetition of
the now familiar tactics of Japan, and
it is presumed the attack was made in
bad weather, previous telegraphic ad-
vices having reported a severe gale
raging at Port Arthur. As usual the
japanese did not remain long enough
off the harbor to enable the gunners
at the fort to get their range. Again
at the time the three cruisers, the
Bayan, the Askold and Novik, came
out to meet the attack, and this sug-
gests that either they were the only
effective ships there, or that the
larger battleships were unable to get
out.
Many alleged dispositions of the op-
posing forces are published this mora
ing, but they differ too much in de-
tail to be Of any great value.
A dispatch from Shanghai to the
Daily Chrenicle says the Russians are
transferring the guns from the dis
abled ships at Port Arthur to the
forts there.
A dispatch from Chefoo to the
Standard, dated February 20, says a
Japanese cruiser and torpedo-boat en-,
tered that harbor without lights at 1
o'clock on the morning of the 29th,
and it is believed they embarked the
Japanese who took refuge there after
the attempt to bottle up Port Arthur.
A Toxic correspondent of the
Times cables that the steamers sunk
by the Japanese on either side of the
Russian battleship Retvizan at Port
Arthur practically obstruct the en-
trance to the harbor.
