COMING CONFLICT,
The Japanese Warships Are Hov
ering in the Immediate Vi
cinity of Port Arthur.
TROOPS WILL LAND AT PITSE WO.
Transports Loaded With Jap Soldiers
Are Lying at That Point, North
i east of Port Arthur.
'It Is Probably the Intention of Adm,
I Togo and Gen. Kurokl to Lay
Siege to the Russian
j Stronghold.
St. Petersburg. May C With Vice
'Adm. Togo hovering in the immedlntq
rviclnlty of Port Arthur and transports?
Joaded with troops lying at Pltsewo,
(northeast of that stronghold, Russia
has braced herself for Impending con
iflicts with the foo in which she will
again play a defensive role, this time,
it is hoped, with better success and,
therefore, with less sacrifice of life
than in the engagements on tho Yalu,
j The war commission sat until 2
,'o'clock Friday morning and at the
. Jcloso of the session it was announced
ithat there was nothing to communi
jcato to the public. It hj, known, how
ever, that Jthe emperor has been in
formed of the presence at a Japanese
ifleet off tho Liao Shan promotory and
(the appearance of transports at Pit
.eewo. The fact that the two events occur
red simultaneously may have signifi
cance. If a landing should take placo
at Pitsewo, it is anticipated that To
go's squadron will bombard Port Ar-i
1hur in order to prevent the garrison
from sending reinforcements by rail
iroad to the troops opposing the Japan
ese there. Neither the admiralty nor
the war office believes that a disem
barkation of the Japanese can be pre-,
vented, as the guns of the Japanese
'cruisers could command the point of
ilanding, but after the Japanese are
.ashore then the Russians will strike.
and, officers here say, will strike hard.
iWhat force they 'will be able to bring
up to resist the invaders can not he
u'tated definitely, the strength of the
Army on the Peninsula of Liao Tung
having been kept a strict secret. -!
It is expected that the railroad will
play an Important part In the effort of
the Russians to push the Japanese into
rfaie sea, as it will permit the rapid
transportation of troops.
1 The general staff has not forgotten
Ithat Japanese ships were sighted May
3 off Kaiping and Siniuchen, on the
."west coast of the Liao Tung peninsu
la, "but these two points could be read
tfly covered, if necessary, from New
Chwang.
4 An Important advantage would ac
crue to the Japanese should they suc
ceed in establishing themselves at PIt
sewo. From there radiate roads con
meeting with the railroad at Yang Ti
'Tien, directly west to south, with San
ehellpon and Kinchow stations on the
irailroad nearer Port Arthur, north
with Kaiping and northeast through
.Takushan with Feng Wang Cheng.
j A landing at this moment would
iraake it difficult for Gen. Kuropatkln
jto concentrate a formidable force
against Gen. Kurokl, whose forward
(movement is not yet reported. Fur
thermore, once the Japanese are across
ttbe railroad Port Arthur 'will be as
'good as besieged.
A member of the general staff says
that Gen. Kuropatkln is well aware of
th'ese considerations. Even if the Jap
anese should succeed in cutting the
iailroad, Port Arthur Is now ready to
depend on its own resources.

"Instead of having places for more
salaried employes, the various depart
ments of the exposition are now every
day rapidly reducing the number here
tofore employed, and very soon hun
dreds will have been laid off. A false

ary." A special feature in the palace of
