Admiral Makaroff Blocks the Channel
at Port Arthur.

Niu Chwang, March 16.-After the
removal of the battleship Retvizan,
four Russian steamers, the Harbin, the
Hailar, the Ningunta and the Sungari,
were anchored at the mouth of the en-
trance of Port Arthur in proper posi-
tions and sunk, leaving only small
channel available, Vice Admiral Maka-
rolf having previously ordered the
whole feet to remain outside with
steam up, economy in coal being un-
necessary.
This dispatch is on "Russian infor-
nation" and is of the first Importance,
confirming the idea that Vice Admiral
Makaroff will adopt the offensive and
make desperate effort to bring togeth-
er Russia's scattered naval forces, or
endeavor to infict damage upon the
Japanese navy.
The sinking of the ships was to pre-
vent the ingress of Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers, as was done at Wei
Hal Wei during the Chino-Japanese
war.
