HARBOR DECLARED OPEN
Russians Deny Togo's Success
RelYing on Wneless.

ST. Petersburg May THE Admiralty is In
possession Of specific information TO the effect
that the harbor Of Port Arthur is open.
The Admiralty expects to be able TO continue
communication with Port Arthur in spite OF the
cutting of the telegraph line. Masts for use IN
wireless telegraphy have been erected at the
fortress 10 communicate with stations at the
north end OF the peninsula. Trained carrier
pigeons were also sent to Port Arthur some
time ago. and through one means or another the
Russian authorities hope to retain communica-
ZION.
The calmness with which the Russians accept
the isolation of what always has been regarded
as the Russian Gibraltar in the Far East is re-
rnarkable. In military circles it had been con-
Hidered inevitable from the first. No attempt IS
made to belittle the energy shown by the enemy
but from the strategic point of view the invest
ment Of the fortress IS regarded as relieving
the military situation the mainland, which
had been much embarrassed by the necessity
for maintaining the stronghold. The utmost
confidence. however. is expressed in the ability
Of the fortress TO Withstand a siege. The whole
OF the lower end Of the peninsula, from Kin
