ST. PETERSBURG, May 6, 3:30 a. m. | Neither the Admiralty nor the War Office believes that a disembarkation of the Japanese on Liaotung Peninsula can be prevented, as the guns of the Japanese cruisers could command the point of landing, but'after the Japanese arc ashore the Russians will strike. What force they will be able to bring up to resist the invaders cannot be | stated definitely, the strength of the |army on the peninsula of Liaotung | having been kept a strict secret. It is expected the railroad will play |an important part in the effort of the | Russians to push the Japanese into the |sea, as it will permit the rapid trans- | portation of trooos. | The general staff has not forgotten | that Japanese ships were sighted on May 3 off Kaiping and Sinjuchen, on | the west coast of the Liaotung Penin- {sula, but these two points could be readily covered, if necessary, from ] Newchwang. - An important advantage would ac- crue to the Japanese should they suc- ceed in establishing themselves at Pitzwo. From there radiate roads con- appearance of . transports at Pitzwo. among the correspondents. necting with the railroad at Yangtitien, directly west to south, with Sanchelipon and Kinchow stations on the railroad near Port Arthur, northeast through Takushan with Fengwangcheng. A landing at this moment would make it difficult for General Kuropat- kin to concentrate a formidable force against General Kuroki, whose forward movement is not yet reported. Further- more, once the Japanese are across the railroad Port Arthur will be as good as besieged. A member of the general staff says that General Kuropatkin is well aware of these considerations. Even if the Japanese should succeed in cutting the railroad Port Arthur is now ready to depend upon its own resources. Dispatches from Tokio telling of cele- brations over the sealing of Port Ar- thur, it is stated, are premature, of- ficial advices establishing beyond ques- tion that the attempt of Vice Admiral Togo on May 3 to seal the port failed. The absence of press dispatches teil- l‘lg of the fight on the Yalu is par- tially explained by the heavy mortality Three of the Novosti's correspondents are miss- ing and it is believed that they were killed, while the Russ lost one of its correspondents. The other journals are ST. PETERSBURG, May 6 (3:30 a. m).—With Vice Admiral Togo hovering in the im- mediate vicinity of Port Arthur and transports loaded with troops lying at Pitzwo, northeast “of that stronghold, Russia has braced herself for impending: conflicts with' the foe in which she will again play a defensive role, this time, it is hoped, with better success and therefore with less sacri- fice of life, than in the engagements on the Yalu. The War Commission sat until 2 o’clock this morning, and at the close of the session it was an- | nounced that there was nothing to communicate to the public. It 1s known, however, that the Em- / | peror has been informed of the presence of a Japanese fleet off the Liaoshan Promontory and the The fact that the two events occurred simultaneously may If a landing should take place at Pitzwo it is expected that Admiral Togo’s bat- tleship squadron will bombard Port Arthur in order to prevent the garrison sending reinforcements by railroad to the troops opposing the Japanese there.

EJECTED BY WATCIAN Ordered Out of & World’s Fair Building, ST. LOUIS, Mo.,, May 5.—President E. H. Harriman of the New York World's Fair Commission was sum- marily ejected from the New York State building by a watchman who did not know him while a dinner given by him to a party of distinguished rail- road men was in course of preparation in_the dining-rcom. Pending the announcement of the meal, Harriman strolled downstairs for a look at the building and the watch- man met him, eyed him with suspicion and told him to clear out. Harriman was dumfounded, the watchman obdu- rate. Harriman said he was from New York; the watchman said he was from Missouri and it was time everybcdy | was out of the building except the parly upstairs. The railway magnate began: “I am Mr. Harriman—" “Don’t know any Mr. Harriman,” quoth the watchman. “Hike.” Harriman hiked into the darkness. Some of Harriman's friends had hearq the colloquy from the balcony but had not the heart to intgrfere. Fi- nally they interceded with the watch- man and Harriman returned to his own. The watchman is still cn duty.
