tho reasons for tho dosporato effort of
tho Russians to get to Port Arthur
what is officially called on "ammuni

Thoto was little need, it appears, for
moro ammunition, great' quantities
being stored in the fortress, but Gen
eral Stocssol was exceedingly anxious
to bo provided with balloons. Tho
highest point of tlio fortress is tho
E.glo'8 Nest, from which much of tho
surrounding country can bo Been, but
balloons will facilltato observation,
Before tho war tho Russlan'authoritles
loaded on a vessel a complete balloon
equipment for Manchuria, but it was
captured by tho Japanese who will uso
it perhaps in their operations against
Port Arthur. Recognizing tlio need of
General kuropatkin is believed to havo
Bent balloons on tho "ammunition

on tho fortress," . n officer snld today,
"the world will hear of tho first battle
in tho air."

MAS1D OOLAYS SHIPS.
Russians Find That Many Dollera Will
Have to tie Taken Out.
Moscow, May 21. After nn cxlintiBt
ivo inquiry tho correspondent of tho
London Times finds that there is no
need to take seriously tho Itusslan
threats to dis;.atch to the Far East
next July reinforcements of war ves
pels, Tho optimistic reports 'cgnrding
the rapid progress of the warships of
tho linltlc fleet which havo been
printed in European captals havo been
given out here by officials nnd havo
been tolographcd abroad without
change. They are absolutely untrue,
because thero nro no moans nt hand for
tho correspondents to verify the re
ports, and they have no mian ot in
specting the shipyards whero the ves
eels nro being prepared for service.
While it is n fact that unprecedented
hasto is being mndu in getting wnrHhips
ro'mly for service, thero is u limit to
efficient speed In ship construction,
nnd this has been exceedod with tho
result that many of tho boilers which
havo been Installed in the now war
ships will hnve to bo taken out nnd re
placed. Tlila has created a sensation
nt tho navy department, nnd it Is now
certain that tho Palt!c fleet will not
start for tho Far East for many months
to como.

St. Petersburg, May 20. Tho ad
miralty is now convinced by mall ro-
ports received from 1'ort Arthur Mint

boata in IiIb operations. A letter from
