 At 10 O'Clock Senator Quay was in a stupor from which he could not be aroused His relatives and friends be- lieve his death is question of only d few hours.
 Oxygen is being administered con stantly in hope that it will revive him, but Dr Wilson said he did not think the senator would regain conscious ness.
 The doctor thought the end would come about sundown or earlier.
 The immediate cause of his condi- ton is exhaustion due to inability to assimilate nourishment. He has taken no food since a. m. Chronic gastritis and inflammation of the stomach is the foundation of the trouble.
 The above statement was given out by Dr Wilson under authority Of the Quay family. It is the first communica- ton given to the press from direct source since his illness.
 Messages have been sent toNthe more distant relatives saying the senator was very low and was not likely to re cover.

NO DENIAL OF IF.

St Petersburg. May 2s. 3 D. m.- There is no attempt here to disguise the fact that the successful forcing of the neck of Kwan-Tung peninsula proper puts a practical end to resist ance to the enemy until he reaches the actual Notifications around Port Arthur. Although there are many, strong positions in the more than 25 miles before the perimeter of the fort ress is reached the authorities admit that the Russians can offer little resist ance and must now retire within the fortress and undertake to defend them selves against siege.
 Neither the admiralty nor the gen. eral staff has any direct information. Like the outside world the admiralty nnd general staff are dependent entire ly upon the enemy for news. Native reports, which may be of some value, are however, expected shortly.

TO CAPTURE PORT ARTHUR.


 St Petersburg. May 2S.- Captain Jakovleff, former commander of the Russian battleship Petropavloysk, who was wounded when his ship was destroyed at Port Arthur April 13, in an interview regarding the possibility of the Japanese capturing Port Ar thur, declared that it would take 150,- poo men, with magnificent artillery, to accomplish the task.
 Asked as to the number of men in The Port Arthur garrison, Captain Jakovleff said it was much larger than Etated in the telegraphic reports much over 25,OOO-but he declined to state what would be the exact hum per when the defenders of the Kin Chou positions retired within the fort ress.
 He discussed with some detail the difficulties of the approach. After the outer line of Notifications is reached. said he. a great number of detached positions must be captured before the enemy could even reach the inner ring of defenses. The taking of each po- sition would necessitate bloody bat lie and their capture would leave the citadel untouched, and, to his mind mpregnable.
 A great deal of course, would de- pend upon the relative merits of the lrtilIery of the opposing forces. The Russian guns could not be judged by Inc results on the Yalu. where the Russians had only light advance guard artillery against the heavy siege guns which the Japanese were bringing up Cor use in Manchuria
 Port Arthur, Captain Jakoyleff said, nad mounted numerous large guns andwards. while Makaroff's system if range finding is so nearly perfect hat the Japanese never yentured within reach of the shore batteries.
 As illustrating the fact that the Japanese artillery is not necessarily nvincible, the captain said the battle ihip Petropavloysk was struck by a 2-inch shell at distance of two and three-quarterI miles, and her armor was penetrated to a depth of only two Inches.
 He declared that Port Arthur was srovisioned for year and said all the damaged ships there had been re- paired except the Retvizdn and the -zarevitch. The latter, he asserted, ought to be ready to-day and the for ner within week
