that only 500 are left alive. Many of
these have fed OF the police only a

Dharmsala, kangra, Palanpur, Dha-
wan and all the neighboring villages
were completely wrecked. Scarcely a
building remains standing.
Not much damage was done at Ha-
ripur. Deragopipur, Nadaum or Ha-
mirpur, but Suianpur, having a pop
ulation OF about 5000 souls, is report
ed TO be in ruins.
The shocks still continue. There
is no news from Kulu valley, but ac-
cording to native rumors a great
amount of damage has been done.
An Official from Dhtrmsala says the
place is scene of complete desola-
ton. Owing to the scarcity Of labor

RUSSIANS BELIEVE ENGAGEMENT
WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE
STRAITS OF FoRMosA.
VIadivostok Squadron May Venture
Out and Raid the Japanese Coast
and Transport Fleet in an Attempt
to Join in the Battle by Making an
Attack or Admiral Togo's Fleet
From the Rear.

st Petersburg, April 11.-Whether
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's battle
ship division passed through the
straits of Sunda or the straits OF
Malacca 1t is practically certain now
that he Is moving to effect juncture
with the division which passed Singa-
pore April S. It-is possible that this
may not take place until the two divi-
sions reach Cape Padaran, on the east
coast vi Cochin-China.
The dispatches from Singapore
naming the ships which passed there
Saturday are erroneous in several par
ticulars, notably in the case of the
Fuerst Bismarck, rechfstened The
Don, which is still at Libau.
According TO the admiralty's infor.
nation the Japanese have had an OBJ
servation squadron in the waters OF
I.abuan, British Borneo, where they
took the same advantage of British
neutrality as Rojestyensky did of
4 nCulidiily at MdhacooNoi, anu
this squadron is believed TO have been
summoned by Japanese scouts to re-
main in touch with the Russians until
they go north to the straits of For.
mosa, where, il is believed here, a
battle will occur Considering the
vital nature of the issue the admiralty
rs inclined to think that Admiral Togo
will not dare to send ships to Vladi-
vostok or leave vessels behind him
TO cope with the Russian vessels at
that port and that tie Japanese coasts
and the transport feet will practically
have to SHIFT for themselves until the
naval battle is fought. The principal
coast cities OF Japan are well pro-
tected by Notifications and the Rus
sian cruisers at Vladivostok, not be
ing heavily armored, could not attack
them, but havoc could be created
among the Japanese transports and
commercial ships.
So far as ascertainable Rojestven-
sky has no intention of putting into
Saigon, the entrance to that port be-
ing narrow, but it is believed he will
remain in the open sea.
