A TOKYO SUSPICION.
That Port Arthur Russians Have Given
 Japanese the Slip.

Tokio. March 15-It Is strongly be- lieVed here that the Russian heet has abandoned Port Arthur after the fourth attack upon it by the Japanese fleet and is endcaVoring 10 reach Vladivostok. Confirmation of this movement is not obtainable. but recent scouting in the vicinity of Port Arthur failed to reveal the presence of any Russian waEships. It seems logical enough that the Russians should a. tempt a dash to Nladivostok, where it is possible to dock the larger ships, aiid affect 9 Junction of their ar1nored cruiser squadron, secure bcse for oD- erations, while possessing adequate land defenses.
 The hopelessness of continuing at Port Arthur is manifest, while the dash to Vladivostok might succeed. Admiral Togo, unwilling to run the risk of dividing his battleship squad ron. continues to operate the six bat tleshlps together. If the Russians should make an attempt to reach VIad- ivostok il is believed that they will try dash through the Korean straits rather than enter the Japan sea through the Sugara straits.
