—The admiralty received today an of
ficial dispatch from Rear Admiral
Wittsoeft, believed to have been dated
from Port Arthur. May 14, reporting
that there has been no fighting since
the telegraph line was cut. the Japa
nese ships not having attacked th'J
Russian squadron. The dispatch was
gratifying to the authorities not only .
for the news it contained, hut because 1
its receipt established the fact fha*
although the telegraph line is severed, i
a systt m of communication by means
of Chinese runners has been satis-;
factorily inaugurated. In order tn
deliver tbe Liao Yang dispatches en-
trusted to him thq runner had to pass I
through the Japanese lines already !
thrown across the narrow neck of the I
peninsula just above Port Arthur. Th ‘ ,.
. .. . his duties
passage of the runner was dangerous,;
but the task was light compared to
what it will be when the Japanese
force closely invest Port Arthur. Nev-
thehss, th authorities express con
fidence that arrangements have been
made to insure the frequent transmis
sion of dispatches.
One of the reasons for the desperate
effort of the Russians to get to Port
Arthur what is officially called ar?
"ammunition train” has been reveal
ed by information which leaked o’tJ
today. There was little need, it a'
pears, for more ammunition, gn
quantities being stored in the fortress,
but General Stoessol was very anxious
to be provided with balloons. Th
highest point of the fortress is tin
“Eagle Nest.’’ from which much of the
surrounding country can he seen, b”
balloons will facilitate observation
B re the war the Russian authorities
loaded on a vessel a complete bal
loon equipment for Manchuria, but it
was captured by the Japanese, who
will use it, perhaps, in their opera
♦ ions against Port Arthur. Recogniz
ing the need of providing Genera*
Stoessells with all the requisite in
struments with which to conduct the
dt: rise of Port Arthur, General Kuro
pall.in is believed to live sent bal
loons on “the ammunition train.”
The Russian balloons are stationary.
"If the Japanese try to drift bal
ioons over Port Arthur and drop ex
pic ives on the fortress,” an officer
said today, "the world will hear of the
first balloon battle in the air.”
