A dispatch to the Daily Mirror from

of previous similar reports.

London, Feb. 12.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister here has re-
ccived a dispatch from Toxic announc-
ing that on Feb. II two Japanese mer-
chant steamers. the Nakanoura Maru
and Zensho Maru, while on their way

by four Russian warships, presumably
the Vladivostocll squadron, off the
coast of Herunshi (OkushirD.
The Nakanoura Maru was sunk but
the ZershO Maru escaped and arrived
safely at Fukuyama Gsland Of Hok-

Berlin, Feb. 12.--It is officially an
nounccd here that nothing is known
of the alleged passage or impending
passage of the Russian Baltic fleet
through the Kaiser Wilhelm CBaltic-
North Seal canal.
The best denial of the statement that
Russia wishes to send Is warsllips
through the Kaiser Wilhelm canal was
made at the navy department. where
il was said that Russia has not Is
ships in the Baltic that could readily
be sent to the Far East. seven or eight

telliGcnce here. that could be made
scrviccable against Japan and rs many
more coaling ships might have to so
with them. The German naval opin-
ion is that so small Il fleet could do
nothing alone.
Russia is withdrawing portions Of
her garrisons on the German frontier,

fidcnt of Gcrmany's neutrality.

London, March Is. - The rumor of
the evacuation of Port Arthur is re.
peated this morning from different
points, but it is absolutely without
confirmation.
According to the St. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Daily Telegraph
vague rumors are current there that
later kilograms describe the bonn.
bardment Of Port Arthur as much
more serious than has been admitted
officially. Special dispatches from
Toxic and Yin Kow also give reports
of heavy Russian casualties at Port
Arthur amounting to forty men killed
and one hundred wounded, but they
are so conflicting in details that it is
not wise to give them much credence.
In dispatch from Toxic dated March
Is, correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph says that in the latest
Attack on Port Arthur
two Russian Torpedo boat destroyers
were sunk and great damage was
done to the docks. forts and arsenals,
including the explosion of powder
magazine. Dalney is reported to have
been almost entirely destroyed, sew
eral guns were dismounted and the
crews of four torpedo boats in the in
side harbor are said to have deserted.
The Daily Telegraph publishes dis
patch from correspondent at Yin
Kow, who reports that the Russian
battleship Retvizan at Port Arthur
was hit five times by japanese pro.
jectiles and that there we're twenty
casualties on board. <
Japs in Manehuria.
This correspondent declares further
that the presence of Japanese at Feng
Huan Cheng (the Manchurian town
about forty-f1ve miles northwest Of
Will has been confirmed.
The Yin Kow correspondent of the
Daily Mail reports that serious dis.
putes occurred daily between the Rus.
sian naval and military officers at
Port Arthur, the latter reproaching
the former with incomptency and
cowardice.
The correspondent describes the
floating of the battleship Retvizan, and
says the dock at Port Arthur is too
small to repair her. Gen. Stoessel, In
command of Port Arthur, has been or
dered to the Yalu, the correspondent
concludes, and he will be replaced by
Gen. Smirnoff.
