PETERSUURG, March 29. A war correspondent of the Russky Vledomostl, writing from Harbin, Manchuria, says he has not been permitted to proceed to Port Arthur, and adds he will not be allowed to go to the front from Hurbln until April 1. All the correspondents have been ex pelled from Port Arthur because one of them mentioned In his dispatches Impor tant information regarding the movements of Russian troops. , . Forecasting the result of the war In the far east the Novostl declares there is no 'more doubt as to who will be the eventual victor than there was at the commencement tf the Oreeco-Turkish, the Spanlsh-Amer- lean or the Boer wa. ."For Japan, tha war ts a life and death struggle," continues the Novostl. "It places everything On one card. For Russia, It Is really only a colonial war, and even de feat would leave the empire not greatly affected, while success would be sure to 'Mean a great, . stimulus tp the Russian colonisation of Manchuria, where.it Is rea. so nubia to suppose many soldiers will settle After the struggle la over. -, "But," adds the paper, "Russia should not pay too high a price for this colonial Empire and, therefore, should conserve aa 'fas aa possible the army and the fleet."

The Novostl-denounces the alle gations as monstrous falsehoods, declaring tbat the Jews throughout the empire have patriotically volunteered their servloes, and attacks the antl-semitlcs for attempting COhstantly to sow race hatred. .

It his not yet been decided whether the British consul will remain at New Chwang, but this matter is not considered of serious Importance. It Is pointed out at the for eign office that neither th United State nor Great Britain aver considered New Chwang neutral, and when Secretary Hay' note was received It was tacitly admitted that New Chwang might quite likely be one of the points of a Japanese attack and the Ruaslana are considered quite within their right In taking the necessary step to prevent polble Japanese aggression.

At about two marine leagues from the entrance the ."bottling up" squadron was discovered by the enemy. Thereupon the shore batteries and guardshlp showered hot fires upon the squadron, but In splto of the terrific fire the ships made their way Into the Inner roadstead, one arter the l other. ' The steamer Chlyo Maru, anchored at a position about. a half. a cable from the Golden hill, blew up Itself and sunk. The Fukul Maru passed a little ahead of the Chlyo Maru by Its left side and at the moment when It was lowering anchor was shot by a torpedo from tne enemy s oe- I stroyers and sunk In that position.

It la also pointed out that Rula gave notice to the foreign governments before laying torpedoes in the harbor of New Chwang and gave notice also of other defensive measures. It is maintained that since this brought no protest, Russia's right to adopt all the necessary defensive meas ures la conceded. FIRED FIRST SHOT OF THE WAR, Thla Honor Claimed by the Korlets, Which Japs Stink. ST. PETERSBURG, March 29 According to a letter received from an officer or the Russian gunboat Korletx. which was destroyed by the Japanese at Chemulpo, his ship technically fired the first shot of the war, but this shot was not flred until after the Japanese had fired three tor pedoes in an effort to sink the Korelti. The officer writes that on February 8, without knowing that there had been even rupture In diplomatic relations, the Korelta left Chemulpo for Port Arthur with dispatches from M. Pavloff, the RuHttlnn minister to Corea, and met the Japanese cruiser and torpedo squadron while still In neutral waters.

The third torpedo sank Just before reaching the Korelts. The officer's letter sold that when next day the captain of the British cruiser Talbot, at the roquest of the cap tain of the Varlag .asked the Japanese admiral why the Korelti hud been at tacked, he replied that war had been de dared at i o'clock the day before .

Mr. Conger's message makes no reference to the reported hauling down of foreign flags by the Russians. The officials here assume that If this had been done it Klmply means that Russia has assumed the re- eponslbility for the protection of foreign property belonging to the belligerents, but that no effort will be made to Interfere with the consular flags. Nor does Mr. Conger refer to the reported notice from the Russian authorities at New Chwang to the consuls that they may no longer ex- nrclse consular Jurisdiction and consular functions, especially extraterritorial lurls. diction.
