The Daily Mail thinks that if Vice Admiral Makaroff closed the channel *t was in order to prevent the in (fress of Japanese torpedo boat de stroyers, as was done at Wei-Hal *\ci during the ( hino-.Tapanese war. Ihe Standard's Tokio correspon dent says that, according to a dis patch from Gen. San, the Russians are believed to be withdrawing from the northeast frontier of Korea and 'concentrating at Vladivostok. RUSSIANS DO NOT INTEND TO ABANDON PORT ARTHUR London. March 16.

St. Petersburg, March 10. —From the highest official quarter, the Asso ciated Press has received informa tion that there is absolutely no foun dation for the rumors sent out from 'lokio that the Russians are abandon ing Port Arthur. Tokio, March 10. It is strongly be lieved here that the Russian 'fleet abandoned Port Arthur after the fourth attack was made upon it by Ihe Japanese fleet and is endeavoring to reach Vladivostok.

The c hief movement on the Kong Huang Cheng military road is the dis patch of riders to and from the lius t-ian advance forces. A creditable native arrived here yesterday bringing a report as late «s March li from Kong Huang Cheng to the effect that the main body of the concentrated forces had crossed the Yalu, leaving small bodies of troops at Antung and other points to guard the river.

Tokio, March 17. —Tokio is unad i vised regarding the naval plans and I movements of the Russians, and is in I doubt whether the remnant of their fleet is still at I'orfc Arthur or is en route to Vladivostok.

'l'liey arc employing the • same explosives as other armies and: navies. It is notorious that (lie burst ing of a melinite shell between decks generates fumes from which the men 'are liable to asphyxiation, but the liussian shell is no better and no' worse than that used by the' Japanese. We have not complained in this respect, whatever we may I think about the manner in which Japan began hostilities." The Chinese legation here has as sured the Associated Press most post- ; lively that the government at Pekin i intends not only to o-bserve the ' strictest neutrality during the war I between Kussia and Japan, but that j the government thoroughly realizes the danger threatening the integrity 1 of the Celestial Kmpire iu case it should become embroiled in the con- j fliet.

PEOPLE OF PORT ARTHUR USED TO BOMBARDMENTS St. Petersburg, March 19. —A cor-' respondent of the Associated Press ; who has just visited Port Arthur,! telegraphs from Mukden as follows: "Despite the various bombardments j at Port Arthur the external appear- j anee of the city remains unchanged, although the enemy fired an enor mous number of projectiles. The bat tleships and cruisers bear marks of j the fighting. "Six hours of firing by the heaviest guns during the last bombardment j did not demolish a single building, j but cost a few lives.

"The enemy in endeavoring to j stand as far as possible outside the | range of the Russian batteries ren- j i dered their own fire ineffective.
