WOMEN AND CHILDREN HASTEN
TO LEAVE.
RUSSIANS WILL RETREAT
Determine to Retire Up the Railroad
to a Point Of safety-Deep Frost in
the Ground Prevents Construction
of tifications-Latest War Dis
patches.

Yinkow, March 4.-Women and chill
dren are preparing to leave Yinkow in
anticipation of the arrival of the Jap
anese fleet, which is expected when
the river opens, probably a fortnight
hence.
The United States gunboat Helena
and British cruiser Espiegle are pre-
pairing to leave their dry docks in
week.
The mainmast of the Russian gun
boat Sivoutch has been cut off; this
would indicate that she is being dis
mantled, but otherwise she would ap-
pear to be clearing for action.
On account of the impOssibility of
defending the coast at Yinkow until
such time as the thaw permits the
construction of entertainments and
forts. the Russians have prepared 10
retire up the main railroad line. There
are practically no defences here, and
although the shifting and reshifting of
troops and artillery to the small forts
at the mouth of Lao river has the APP
pearance of the intention TO defend
Yinkow, military authorities depend
upon an inland engagement to stop the
Japanese advance.
That the Japanese will arrive be-
fore a thaw permits the construction
of defenses is thought here TO be prac-
tically certain. IL would appear also
that the authorities expect Port Ar
thur 60 be besieged.

report of the joint committee ON play
