LONDON, April 11.-Adyices from St. Petersburg say the generally antic- fpated attack on Port Arthur did not occur, although a telegram received from Grand Duke Cyril reports that the enemy's ships were sighted on. the horizon 1t is presumed that the Japa nese were warned of the extra precau- tions which had been taken to guard against surprise.
 Vice Admiral Makaroff's torpedo fio- tilla patrolied the open sea, while the warships, with full steam up remained outside Port Arthur
 Elsewhere throughout the theater of war all is reported quiet.
 A high Russian military authority has explained why General Kuropat- kfn's plan of campaign does not con template a heavy resistance to the Japanese advance at the Yalu, saying:
 tEither defeat or victory in a battle Ehere would be disadvantageous to us. If we lost we would have to fall back through difficult country. If we won ,anA say to you that Russian strat- egy is based on the idea of victory aEd not on that of defeat success wou1d be fruitless. We could not fol- low 1t up without exposing the army to too great risks. On account of the Japanese control of the sea if we pur- sued the enemy into the peninsula of Korea we would open both Hanks to a possible attack from the rear. No; the Japanese must come on to point in the interior which with this end in view has been selected where we can follow mp a crushing defeat to the bit ter end with blew after blew and seal the fate of ths campaign
 ''0ur psanr on sea and land win con- verge at a time next summer when Vice Admiral MakarofT's fleet will be relieved by the arrival of re-enforce- menkS Then if successful on land we can clear the sea of the enemy, cut his conamunicattens, and the Japanese in Korea and Manehuria will then be at our meEcy.
 The world must not be impatient The prelude to this war is not yet in ished."
