add nothing to the details coatalaed
In the Associated Press laformatioa
concerning the Port Arthur engage
ment, aad the situation on the Liao
Tung peninsula, the editorials by war
experts devote much space to the
situation. The general view la that
the Russians nt Port Arthur kwt their
opportunity through their timidity,
and that Togo has again asserted his
right to be considered one of tho
world'a greatest: admirals.
It is conceded on every hand that
while the details are not yet felly
known, when both sides tell the whole
story, the calamity to Russia will only
be increased. It is pointed out, how
ever, that Port Arthur Is opened and
that the Vladivostok fleet may make
another diversion In which the rem
nants of the Port Arthur aquadron
may at anytime make n forlorn hope
dash for a juncture.
The editorials, special dispatches

are impending, nnd that the next few

the president to consider his disin
