Russians . Destroy Port Dalny St. Twenty Miles Above Fort Arthur. tirety Weeks of Excessiye Fasting One Capture by Japanese Feared and of Strong Tenets of Railroads and Warehouses Dynamited. St. Petersburg, May 18.—Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed to-the czar announcing that the Russians have blown up the docks and piers at Port Dalny, Liaotung peninsula, presumably: to render more difficult a Japanese landing at that point: Later telegrams received here indi- cate that the whole of Port Dalny has been destroyed by the Russians, Port Dalny, on Talienwan bay, on the east coast of the Liaotung penin- sula, was intended by Russia to be the chief commercial emporium of its East- ern dominions. An edict providing for its construction was issued by the Rus- sian emperor July 30, 1899, and Port _ Dalny, fully equipped with all modern jmprovements, docks, warehouses and railroad facilities, was opened to com- merce in December, 1901. Talienwan bay is one of the finest deep water harbors ou the Pacific. It is free from -ice in winter time and ships drawing thirty feet of water can enter at low tide without difficulty and without the aid of pilots can sail or steam alongside the immense docks and piers, where their cargoes can be loaded into railroad cars and run-di- rect for 6,000 miles into the city of St. Petersburg. Five large piers have been constructed, each supplied With numerous railroad tracks and immense warehouses and elevators, gas, elec tric lights and water, and a large breakwater was being constructed so that ships could lie at the piers and load and unload regardless of weather. Docks ‘for foreign vessels, steam and _sail, extended between the piers and along the shore for two miles. There were two first class drydocks, one in- tended for ordinary ocean steamers and the other designed to accommo- date the largest vessels of war or com- merce, Over $6,000,000 had been expended on _the harbor system-before the-end: of 1902 and it was estimated that the cost of completing the work would be nearly $20,000,000, but this does not in any way represent the total cost of the erection of this great commercial port, ‘which, with Port Arthur, distant about twenty miles, was leased by the Chi: nese government to R in 1898.

St. Petersburg, May 13.—Lieutenant General Sakharoff has sent a dispatch to the general staff, communicati repoit of General Zassalitch, d May 10, as follows: “Troops. which appeared to be a di- vision of the Japanese .guard - have been advancing for the past (wo “day: from Fenghuancheng westerly in th direction-of 1faicheng. “It is reported that a Japanese force, oonsisting of about a_division of in- fantry,intended to march on Saimadza with forty guns and 1,500 cavalry. “From reports received from: the river Dazaw, it may be concluded that the Japanese army is concentrated in three groups, the two southdin groups being on the lower section of the river Tayang at Hondouhanya, on (he left bank of the river at Dayan .and at Donamyo in the same locality, and the northern group opposite Habalina on the road from Fenghuancheng to Sali ! £a, " fourteen to sixteen miles irowm Fenghuancheng. “It is difficult to obtain information from the local Chinese. In_one case we discovered that the Chinese had warned the Japancse troops of an am- buscade which had been arranged by Cossacks.” ted CLEARING HARBOR ENTRAN(_:‘Ev Explanation of . Explosions at Port Arthur. —New: York, May 13—An explanation of the explosions heard at Port*Arthur, which led to reports that the Russians were destroying their wavships in that harbor, is furnished in a World dis- patch from St. Petersburg. It is to tlie effect that the garrison at Port Ar- thur is endeavoring to clear the har- bor entrance of the stone laden ships sent in by the Japane: In order to remove the obstructions divers are said to have been sent. down, aced charges of dynamite i n Front. St. Potersburg, May 13.—The Asso- clated Press learns from the highest source that the emperor is exceedingly anxfous to go to the front. 'To his in- timates recently he has spoken much on the subject, but he realizes (hat conditions of state demand his pres- ence at home. Nevertheless it is now considered not impossible that he will follow the example of all the Romanoff dynasty during the last century and undergo his baptism of fire. To fight with the army is one of the traditions of his house. Alexander I. entered Paris with the allies after the battle * of Waterloo. Nicholas I. died in a com- mon soldier’s hovel in the Crimea and Alexander I, with the heir apparent, were at the front during the Turkish war. Should he finally conclude to go the emperor would not assume active command of the troops, but would have an imperial headquarters, taking with him all the members of his mili- tary cabinet. Being on the spot the emperor would more easily advise Gen- eral Kuropatkin in the event of any question of great military moment which he might desire to submit to his majesty.
