THE PORT ARTHUR INVESTMENT
About $4,000 Japanese Firmly En-
trenched There.

Toxic, May 20.-The Japanese
armies are now firmly intrenched
across the Liao-tung peninsula less
than forty miles north of Port Ar
thur. The line extends from Chincha-
ton to Chelushan, across a ridge Of
hills g. mile and a half north Of Kin
chau. Kin-chau Is just north of the
narrowest part of the peninsula.
North Of the Japanese line the rail-
way has been broken up for miles.
The garrison at Port Arthur cannot be
relieved from the north and it cannot
break thru the Japanese intrench-
ments from the south.
Japanese Force North of Port Arthur
London, May 20.-A. G.. Hales, the
Daily News correspondent at Tientsin,
wires:
"Forty-five thousand Japanese have
landed in Kin-chau and TalienWan
bays, thus entirely investing Port Ar
thur. The advance lines Of the Jap
anese are seven miles from the Rus
sian batteries. Skirmishes are taking
place daily along the railway line and
it is believed that the Japanese intend
to attack with their whole force when
it numbers $4,000. The Japanese are
following Captain Scotts example at
Ladysmith. They are mounting g.
inch naval guns on steel wheels with
the object Of silencing the Russian
batteries. The Russians admit that
they have to contend with terrible
difficulties along the whole line. Their
men, however, are behaving splendid
ly and are very confident"

of Japanese troops have been landed
on the Liao-tung peninsula. In order
I to embarrass their advance, the Rus
Nsians have destroyed their bridges.
The Japanese have retired to Feng-
4huang- cheng, tho divisions are NOV

ton being Mukden.
The excitement among the Chinese
has been increasing the last few days.
The Chinese bandits are causing con-
siderable trouble and are being ener-
fgetically hunted by Cossacks.

Increased it's carrying capacity and

parent in the behavior of the Chinese,
whose attitude has been decidedly
hostile to the Russians. To bring this
change about, it is expected that the
Russian agents in China will follow
the Japanese plan of fully informing
the enemy. Altho in st. Petersburg
there Is individual enthusiasm over
the Japanese disasters near Port Ar
thur, there will be no collective DEM
onstration. The wholesale rejoicing
will come with the announcement of
an achievement of a more thrilling
character, which will appeal to-. the
volatile side of the Russian people.

a line of small boats Of the enemy,

the enemy's ships had cruised a few
hours before. But, after all, it is
pointed OUT there remained a big

had almost come to the conclusion
that the catastrophe which they had
prepared would not come about be-
cause Of the cleverness of Vice Ad-
miral Togo in keeping away from the

Russian operations.

while at the same time recognizing
the Importance of the Russian sue

Russ, which says:
Japan's losses jeopardize her mastery Of
the sea. It is a streak Of bad luck like
ours. The forces are now about equal
without the Baltic squadron. It is not for
us to rejoice, but it was not worth while
to bring the Kasuga from Genoa to sink
the Yoshino. ~

Views of English Naval Experts.

-
London, May 20.-The Telegraph's
naval expert says:
The loss of the Hatsuse is of most
grievous character and had it occurred in
the opening days Of the hostil1ties the
whole course Of events might have been
changed. Serious as At is even to-day,
when the Russian squadron at Port Ar
thur has been practically annihilated, it
is not likely to have an effect on the flu
ture course of the war, unless it should
lead the Japanese to decide to take Port
Arthur Immediately by land at whatever
sacrifice of life, SO as to secure the REM
nant Of the fleet within, or hasten its
complete destruction.
Fred T. Lane, the Chronicles naval
expert, says:
The sinking Of the Hatsuse by mine
is more serious than the loss Of the Pc
tropaylovsk, for she was much the better
ship. The Yoshino was merely fast pro-
tected cruiser, a little inferior to the VAR
lag, and her loss will not, affect the bal
ance Of power. The Kasuga may have
also been damaged. There is still no
question that Japan holds the sea, despite

st. Petersburg, May 20.-With
greater calm than has been felt since
the beginning Of the war, Russia to-

The disasters sustained by the Japan

point out that they restore in meas

Should the persistent reports that the

that Russia has been indicated and
that the two belligerents can recon-
