legation here has received no official
information regarding the lombard

anese are now between the Russian
Cruiser squadron and vladiyostok
and there In reason to believe that the
Russian squadron is In the vicinity of
possIet Bay.
Russian Official dispatches do not
mention this squadron, and this fact
lends color to the belief that the Jap

vladivostok. It Is pointed out at the
Legation that II this Is true. the Rus

sInca they must run the gauntlet of

st. Petersburg, March S.-Although
almost four weeks have elapsed since

prologue TO the real drama.
The Gripping of the Port Arthur
fleet was unfortunate in that it gave
the enemy the command OF the sea at
the very outset. II is, however. OF
relatively small Importance from the
standpoint OF the main strategy of the
war, whether Port Arthur stands OF

Arizona Irrigation Works.
Washington, March 5.-The Interior
department today rejected all the bids
submitted several days ago for the
supply of some 10000 to $4,000 bar
rels of Portland cement to the gov
eminent for the Salt River irrigation
project in Arizona. The action is the
result of the excessive prices submit
ted by the cement manufacturers, the
department stating that first-class
Portland cement can be manufactured
at the dam-site on Salt River from
good materials at hand there for less
than SO a barrel, including the entire
cost of the plant, fuel, operation, etc
The department will now consider
the question of erecting a plant for
the Government manufacture of the
cement, the purchase of the supply in
open market, or Reimbursement OF
bids.
