Prison Wednesday.

Tacoma, Wash. March pa staff
correspondent of the Ledger who has
just returned from MacNeiFs island
reports that at 10 o'clock tonight no
trace had been discovered of Albert f.
Bell, the noted mail pouch robber and
forger, who escaped from the federal
prison on MacNeiITs island yesterday
and fifty armed men are patrolling the
beach and island. Last night was un-
usually rainy and bOisterous and the
officials believe Bell must soon become
desperate and come out from his hid
ing place and endeavor to steal a boat
and make break for the main land, if
ne is not already there They have,
however. absolutely no clue to work on.
When Bell escaped he was only 300
yards from the thick timber and since
entering the woods nothing has been
seen of him.

may he compelled to retreat not only
10 Hardin, but also further westward
along the railroad, abandoning to the

Russian Maritime Amur provinces as

The front.
The strategic weakness of General
l-inevitchs position as he falls back
1orthward is made clear by a Gunshu
dispatch to the Associated Press in
which IL is pointed out that unless

Immediately providing Vladivostok
with war munitions and supplies for Il
two years siege. The correspondent es-
Inmates the number of reinforcementS
needed to give General Linevitch the
requisite superiority in force at 200 GOO
That such a dispatch should have been
permitted to pass the censor at the
front Is significant, and il General Line
Witch had communicated a similar esti-
mate of the situation direct to Emperor
