SKRYDLOFF TOO LATE Admiral MakrirolF Successor Will Not be AlI fo I leach His Ex pecte.l Destination. Second Array if -he .Tnpaiiese Lands on the Iituo Tint IViti'isula and Takes Possession. St. Petersburg, May 7. A dispatch received last night says that Port Ar thus is cut off from all communication by land, the Japanese having disem barked in its rear, occupied the rail road and cut the telegraph. Vice Ad miral Skrydloff, who is en route to Port Arthur to take command of the naval force in the far East, will be un able to reach his destination. Mukden, May has arrived here. 7. Viceroy Alexieff St. Petersburg, May 7. Japanese troops s. vanning across the narrow neck of the Liao Tung peninsula, the railroad and telegraph communica tions cut and the Russian Gibraltar isolated and left to its own resources all this the Russians seem to accept with great stoicism. These events have been anticipated since the outbreak of the war, and the authorities, in a sense, appear to be relieved now that the blow has fallen. They assert that the fortress is im pregnable and amply provisioned to stand a siege for a year, and that it can hold out until the time comes to relieve it. According to official information the landing of troops from sixty transports began simultaneously at Pitsewo and Cape Terminal on the morning of May 5. It is also reported that troops are being landed at Kinchow, but this is not credited, as the Russians are known to nave fortifications there and it is not believed that the Japanese had the daring to land immediately under an entrenched position from which the Russians could inflict severe injury on them. Complete details of the landing are lacking owing to the interruption of communication. No resistance was made, the few Cossacks who observed the movement retiring when the war ships shelled the shore preparatory to disembarkation. Ten thousand men were put ashore Thursday and the dis embarkation was proceeding yesterday at the time that communication ceas ed. It is believed that there are over 20,000 now on land preparing for a for ward movement. Two Japanese regiments were hur ried westward yesterday morning to out the railroad and telegraph commu nication. One of these fired on a train conveying the wounded from Port Ar thur. It was because he was convinced that Port Arthur was about to be out off that Viceroy Alexieff, accompanied by his staff and Grand Duke Boris left hastily. On Thursday several train- loads of sick and wounded and other ineffectives were dispatched north ward. It is reported here that the Japanese ships bombarded Port Arthur early on the morning of May 6, and succeeded at last in closing the entrance, but no official confirmation of the latter state ment can be obtained. The exact hour at which communication with the Rus sian stronghold ceased has not been established. The strength of the garrison at Port Arthur is not revealed by the authori ties, who will only say that it is ade quate for defensive purposes. It is not believed that the force there exceeds 10,000 soldiers. A large force Is not considered necessary, as was shown from the recent withdrawal of some of the troops who were simply a drain NERVE SHATTERING! DEATH DEFYING! THE FEATURE OF ALL FEATURES!

Vice Admiral Skrydloff and Vice Ad miral Bezobrazoff cannot now reach Port Arthur and will probably go to Vladivostok to join the cruiser squad ron there. Rear - Admiral Wittsoeft, who was left in charge of the fleet by Viceroy Alexieff, will direct opera tions at Port Arthur. Wittsoeft is a good officer, and it is believed he will render excellent service. The receipt of news at any time of a decisive battle near Feng Wang Cheng will not cause surprise here, and already rumors are circulating in the city, which, however, lack verifi cation and are believed to be untrue that a battle has been tought; that th Japanese have been defeated wltt heavy loss, and that General Kuro patkin was wounded. Another rumoi is in circulation that Port Arthur hae been captured, but this also is scouted In responsible quarters. JAPANESE STRATEGY Three Great Blows Delivered in Rapttf Succession. London, May 7. The British pren I is loud in its expressions of admiratio i for the brilliant Japanese strategy 1 1 dealing in rapid succession three greLt fclows the battle of the Yalu, the seal ing of Port Arthur, and the landing at Pitsewo. and the development of these opening moves is awaited with the greatest interest. It is considered tc be not unlikely that the primary ob ject will be an assault upon Port Ar thur and an endeavor to capture the Russian fleet there, or that the Jap anese will be content to place a small force as a mask at Port Arthur and will send their main force from Pit sewo to co-operate with General Ku roki's army, in which case, if the Rus sian assertion that large reinforce ments have been sent to Feng Wang Cheng Is true, a great land battle is imminent there or at Liao Yang. . It is believed that it is Japan's second army that landed at Pitsewo and that the destination of the third army is still to be revealed. Practically no further news of any kind has reached London beyond be lated dispatches from correspondents with the Japanese army on the Yalu, detailing events preceding the recent battle. A iokio correspondent asserts that simultaneously with the attack on Port Arthur the Japanese laid cables between one of the islands and the main land as a protection to their landing place.
