RUSSIANS IN THE DARK.
They Can Learn Nothing of the Port
 Arthur Fleet.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-Puglic anx- iety regarding the fate of the ships of Rear Admiral Wilthoeft's squadron re- maining unaccounted for is still unre- lieved. St Petersburg continues to be entirely dependent upon foreign sources for news. the Russian authori- ties claiming to be quite as much m the dark as the public The admiralty neither confirms nor denies the report tha, a majority Of the squadron return ed to Port Arthur. although it does not fal to poin5 out that only the most desperate situation afer the sea fight could have compelled the vessels to re- turn for refuge to that port.
 Nothing has been received from Rus sian sources regarding the report from Chefoo of q sortie of the Port Arthur warships today. The report may re- fer to the cruiser Bayan and the gun
 boats and torpedo boat destroyers left in the haIbor and one or two of Admir- 'al Withoefts ships, which were forced
 t0 limp back to port after the fight of
 Aug. 10.
 The report of the sinking of the crui-
 ser Rurill is accepted as true in official circles and the public had been prepar- cd for definite nnOuncement by pub iication this afternoon of the report that she had been grievously damaged The authorities out of consideration for the families of sailors and officers decided to withhold an official announce ment until they have received an off l cial report upon the return of the crui- | sers Rossia and Gromoboi to Vladivo- i stok, where experts figure they shoult
 have arrived by this time. There is a ! rumOr afolt tonight that the cruiser. i Diana and Pallada have reached Por
 Arthur, but the source of the repor i cannot be traced and it receives littl, | credeuce.
 The opinion is growing that tn, i heavy losses sustained by Port Arthu
 fleet may completely alter the plans re | sarding the Baltic squadron, a division ! of which is cruising in the gulf readl 1 to sail.

FUNERALS AT SEA.
The Terrible Scenes Enacted on the
 Czarevitch.

Chefoo, Aug. 16.-A striking incl dent of the naval engagement of Aug. 1O was the surrounding of the battle ship Retvizan by Japanese torpedo boats the other Russian vessels having gone to the assistance of the CZareyitcn which was then hard pressed.
 The Retvizan desperately attempted to break through the line and tried to ram a cruiser, which approached, but she was fairly blown out of her course by the hail of shells from the cruisers, which began participating in the fight.
 Every officer of the CZarevitch was either killed Ot wounded. While the Czarevitch was making for Tsingtau funeral services were held in many cases over heads, arms and legs. One sailor whose hand was severed by the fragment of a shell, became crazed by pain and the horOr of blood about him He approached the captain. held out the severed member in his remaining hand and requested that prayer bt said over 1t.

St. Petersburg, Aug. "A dispatch received from ChefOo tonight, dated August 10, and giving undated advices from Port Arthur. says that the Jap anese during the bombardment occupied strongly fortified posi- tions with a number of siege guns. After two hours the Jap arese guns were silenced.
 The Japanese, these advices say, are no longer trying to place their guns in the higher positions, which are too easily reached by the fire of the for tress, but are busying themselves with mining operations against the defenses. The spirit of the garrison continues to be excel lent and Lieutenant General Stoessel is going everywhere encouraging the troops. The fortress IS well supplied with am munition lnd provisions.
 The remaining fleet still ir the harbor is capable of effective work in hindering the operations of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet.
 There IS no sickness in the fortress and the losses in the sue cessive fights are by no mean: so heavy as were represented + Japanese reports.
