Russian Forces Too Small.

st. Petersburg, May 16.-At the mo-
ment when everything seemed to indi-
cate that General Kuropatkin had a
well-settled determination to give bat
tie to the Japanese on the ground he
-nas selected to concentrate his troops,
rumors still vague, but perhaps in
tentionally widely disseminated at ST.
Petersburg to prepare people, give it to
be understood that "in presence Of the
numerical superiority of the enemy, the
commander in chief was thinking OF
retreating toward Harbin."
At the same time it is reported from
Yin-Kow that several thousand men
who have just arrived from New
chwang at Liao-Yang have been sent
north Moreover. it is only too true, in
spite of contrary statements so often
repeated, that the number Of Russians
at present in Manchuria is insufficient,
and the dispatches OF General Kuro-
patkin may be resumed in a single sem
tence, always the same: Send me
more troops"

MORE FIGHTING
is REPORTED
SAY TRAITORS TRIED
TO BETRAY FRANCE
Plans of Important Naval De
fenses Reported Offered
for Sale to English

Paris, May 16.-The Mathis London
correspondent has obtained nearly a.
hundred authentic plans of the fortih-
cations at Toulon. besides numerous
other compromising documents. That
paper this morning begins the publica-
tlon of the history Of a treason affair
which seems likely to exceed the Of
fences with which Captain Dreyfuss
was charged.
On April q the correspondent re-
ceived letter written i'm a queer semi
French, semi-Italian jargon and signed
''Fragola, Pietro." telling him that the
writer, who was employed at a hotel,
had been acting as a guide to two per-
| sons who had come to London to sell
a large parcel of documents of the
highest Importance concerning French
naval dOeznces. The letter stated that
the men had gone to Brussels, leaving
the writer penniless. He, therefore,
wanted to negotiate for the transfer Of
certain documents, but was unwilling
to treat direct with the French gov
ernment. preferring to deal with the
Matin or some other newspaper.
| The correspondent thought the letter
was probably a begging trick, but re-
piled, addressing his answer to the
pOstoffice, to be called for and making
an appointment which Fragola duly
kept. The mans desperate state of
hunger evidenced his sincerity. Fra
/ COLA made the following report:
He was formerly, he said, employed
at the War Ministry in Rome but be-
came compromisedsin a case OF espion-
age and was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment subsequently he went
to London, living from hand to mouth.
Recently he had acted as guide and
secretary to two men Of Italian origin
with one of whom-a naturalized
French citizen-he had formerly been
acquainted at the War Ministry ia
/ Rome.
Both OF these men, Fragola said
worked for foreign governments and
had several times sold important Sc
crets to Germany at high prices. The
Italians name was Cesare Colo and
that of the naturalized Frenchman Jer.
emie Mesqui. The latter had long beer
a contractor on the public worKs, tl'
Toulon. They had gone to Brussel'
five days ago, leaving him entirely
without means of living. He found
after their departure that Colo had
left documents behind him and these
he wanted to sell.
Fragola thereupon produced eighty
FIVE plans of the Toulon forts, some OF
them the French originals and Others
accurate copies. made at the Italian
War Ministry. He also had in his pos
session a list of plans OF Cherbourg
Brest and Toulon. with typewriter in
structions. alleged by Fragola to have
emanated from the German staff con.
corning the marking Of batteries of ar.
tillrey. There was also a letter ap.
