London, March 19.-The report comes
from St. Petersburg this morning that
the Vladivostok squadron dyramited it's
way through the ice in the harbor last
Tuesday and put to sea. The report
states, further, that it is conjectured at

Toxic, March 19-The report that Ad-
miral Makaroff attempted to make dash
out of Port Arthur for the purpose of unit
ing the remnants of his feet with the
Vladivostok squadron is officially con-
firmed.
On the night of March 10 Admiral Maka-
rolf with the few unchanged and re-
paired vessels under his flag, crept out of
the cutter harbor The night was dark.
On the next morning, however, Maka-
roff's vessels were discovered by Togos
scouts, and, knowing that the strong Jap
anese fleet had them shut off from the
north, the Russians returned to Port
Arthur, where they still remain.

s9CnGent. who has just visited Port
Arthur, telegraphs from Mukden as fol-
lows: despite the various lombard
ments at Port Arthur the external aspect
of the city remains unchanged, although
the enemy fired an enormous number of
projectiles. The enemy in endeavoring
to stand as far as possible outside the
range of the Russian batteries, rendered
their own fire ineffective Six hours of
firing by the heaviest guns during the
last bombardment did not demolish
single building, but cost few lives"
Japanese Wounded.
According to information received
from Russians at Shanghai during the
fighting at Port Arthur February 10 and
February II the battleship Mikasa was
struck by ten projectiles and seriously
damaged. Two japanese battleships and
two cruisers have been locked for repairs
at Nagasaki and Sasebo and 1000
wounded men are said to be in the Japa-
nese hospitals.
No Japanese in Manchuria.
Newchwang. March 19.-Rumors that
the Japanese have established themselves
in southern Manchuria are unworthy of
credence. No Japanese have been seeD
north of the Yalu, and none of their
scouts seem to have been there since the
beginning of the march. On the other
hand. the Russians are reported to have
crossed the Yalu to the south, leaving a
small force to guard the river. Mounted
messengers pass both ways daily.
