JAPANESE HOLD MOST
Of L|AO-TUNG PENINSULA
Port Arthur, on the Extreme
Southern Point, Alone in Pos
session of Russians.
PORT DALNY IN RUINS

ST. PETERSBURG. May IS. a. m.-Ad-
vices received by the general staff show
that the Japanese are practically masters
OF all of the southern end of Liao-Tung
peninsula, save Port Arthur and the terri
tory commanded by its guns. The result.
so promptly brought about. is due to the
failure of the Russians TO make opposition
of any consequence TO the Japanese ad-
vance.
A member of the general staff said to the
Associated Press that the removal of the
guns from the Notifications erected at
Km-Chau and the destruction Of Port
Dalny were primarily for the purpose of
concentrating the entire Russian force at
Port Arthur. : IL the men. and guns were
scattered the effect would have been to dis
tribute the means of the defense OF the
fortress over a number of points strategic
the result of sudden determination, but
was due TO the probability that force at
tempting to hold this place could be sep
arated from Port Arthur and captured
thus infiicting further loss OF prestige TO
the Russians which could not be permitted
at this time. To defend the whole or the
southern end of the Lao-Tung peninsula it
would have been necessary TO have an army
equal to that which the Japanese could
have landed.
The weakness of the Manchurian army,
said this officer, left only one course to
pursue namely that of mobilizing sufficient
troops at Port Arthur to hold il until relief
came, abandoning every point outslde
which did not contribute to the strategic
that the ground over which the Japanese
must charge to capture the fortress is
heavily mined. If they do capture it, the
officer said, they will pay frightful price
The destruction of Dalny is complete the
breakwater and the buildings well as
the piers and docks have been blown up.

GEN. MILES PREDICTS 4
LONG, DISASTROUS WAR
Also Criticises American Cavalry
and Booms the Automobile
Business.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 17.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, who is here attending the Good
Roads convention. to-day expressed the be-
lief that the Russo-Japanese war will
eventually involve other nations. Il be-
heve that the war will be long and dis
astrous one" said General Miles.
Incidentally he criticised the American
cavalry by remarking that 80 per cent. OF
our soldiers are mounted, while in other
countries the percentage is only to 10 per
cent We should have more infaptry and
less cavalry
In the next great war" said General
Miles, Il believe the automobile will tC

now 10000 automobiles in the United
States, and the number is increasing rap
idly. Their speed is becoming phenomenal
Automobiles can be used on bad roads as
well as good ones, is now evidenced

the object of turning the Russian position
and advancing upon. Mukden. Numerous
small engagements have been fought, but
no.. decisive action has taken place.
Port Arthur is now completely isolated
by the Japanese expedition at Polandien.
The Japanese are now operating in a rug

Mukden is now the receiving center for
the wounded from the various engagements
south of the Mao-Tien mountains. hos
pital has been established in the Lamen
temple in the outskirts of the town, and a
field hospital has been located in woods
near the military camp around the station.
A significant feature is the demeanor of
the Chinese population. which may be said
to be a barometer of the military weather.
a close observer of the expressions and
general attitude of the Chinese can tell
how the fighting hundred miles away is
turning. They have rapid and mysterious
channels of information through which the
result of the battle at FengWang-Cheng
spread and could be suspected from the
outward manner of the Chinese before the
Russians made il known here. The cutting
off of Port Arthur is another instance.
The newspaper correspondents are most
courteously treated by Colonel Poestich,
the officer whom Viceroy Alexieff appointed
to attend them, but they are chafing under
the restrictions imposed here, which pre-
vent them from seeing anything of the
fighting General Kuropatkin is evidently
unwilling that the foreign correspondents
shall witness the present phase of opera

indefinite future, when the Russians are
able TO make a sweeping advance.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL NOW
SUBJECT THE TH|BETANS
Foreign Minister Lansdowne Calls
the Mountain People "Rabid
Barbarians."

LONDON, May 17.-Lord Hardwicke, I'M
der secretary for war, replying to Lord
Spencer Ohe Liberal LEADER, in the House
of Lords to-day, said Great Britain was
now at war with Thibet, and until she had
by force of arms INDICATED her position
he did not think the government ought to
be called on to give a definite pledge as
to what form of settlement would follow
the conclusion of hostiiities.
Lord Tweedmouth Q4iberaD charged the
government with willfully sending out a
mission and knowing the consequences.
Foreign Minister Lansdowne replied. He
said the government, having deliberately
adopted announced policy, it was not
likely that it would be driven therefrom
because the mission had been attacked by
few rabid barbarians in regions ad-
joining the Indian frontier
