Rome, Feb. 18. The Russiun embassy here is authority for
the statement that the Japanese fleet has established a base for
supplies at Elliott Islands, off ihs coast of Liao Tong peninsula,
75 miles from Port Arthur. This tends to Bhow that Japan is
preparing for a great join attack for the reduction of Port
Arthur.
LOST 456 MEN.

Russian officers and 439 men were eithei killed or drowned in
(he fight at Chemulpo, when the Variag and Korietz were sank.

mikado that tho Germau hospitals at Kioacuchaa and Yokohama

THEIR TURN LATER.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 18 The rigid censorship imposed here
upon all news from the Far East completely masks the move
ments of Russian troops and the plaus of those in command, bui
what is being done is evidently satisfactory to the authorities here
as they manifest the utmoet confidence that when tlu proper
time arrives the euemy will be crushed. Thoy say that the pre
liminary sea victorits of the Japanese wid then be spoedily for
gotten.

tors at the Presido are restricted. As the regiments affectod by
the order to prepare for the movement east only recently returned

eventualities from the Russo-Japanes war.
