MAIN The Korean Capital Is to Be an Russians 1 -J w'tft. 4 1 i -rv $: Togo Could Have Captured Port Arthur at First as It Was Defenseless. JAPANESE CRUISER CAPTURED T. PETERSBURG, March 26. "I shall feel relieved when Gen eral Kuropatkin assumes com mand, remarked the emperor night the emperor received telegrams not only announcing the general's arrival at Mukden, but bringing word that the mobilization of the Man-churian army was completed.

It is understood that to-morrow General Kuropatkin will review the Mukden troops and will read to them a mes-sage expressing the imperial confi dence that the soldiers will display the valor and fortitude befitting the tradfc tions of the Russian army. General Kuropatkin will afterward proceed to Liao-Yang. Thence with Generals Linevitch and Zhilinski, he will make a flying visit to Port Arthur and inspect the fortress. It is rumored here that the Russian forces may not withdraw to the strong line of defense prepared at Feng- Huang-Cheng if General Kuropatkin decides he can get together a sufficient number of men to make a stand at the Yalu river advisable. Could Have Captured Port Arthur.

Important news is drifting to the Russian capital by mail. A letter from Port Dalny draws a striking picture of it3 defenseless condition when the Japanese attacked Port Arthur. The correspondent says that the smallest Japanese force could easily have captured the place and destroyed enormous stores of coal, 500,000 pounds of tea and six Russian merchantmen lying in the harbor. As the Japanese failed to do so the Russians at once mined the approaches, the haste with which the work was performed being the cause of the disaster to the Yenisei, many of the mines being badly laid, one of which the protected cruiser Boyarin struck during a fearful storm. The correspondent also says the Boyarin was not sunk Immediately.

Her captain succeeded in placing a collision mat in position till she was beached. The Boyarin has since been towed off and taken back to Port Arthur. She has been repaired. A Port Arthur correspondent writes that the repairs to the battleship Ret-; vizan and the protected cruiser Palla- da have now been completed, the battleship Czarevitch being the only remaining lame duck in the squadron. Reinforcements From Baltic.

The preservation of Admiral Marka- roff's squadron intact is regarded as being of vital importance, as it is now certain that the admiralty's plans con-! template sending powerful reinforce-! ments from the Baltic during the sum-j mer. Six battleships, the Orel, Bors- dino. Kniaz Souvaroff, Slava, Alexan der III. and Paul and Andrew, and the cruisers Oleg. Zherachus and Izurarud II.

will be ready to sail July, joining the squadron of Admiral Wirenus in the Mediterranean and, with the torpedo boats, reaching Port Arthur in September. Tbe arrival of such a Seet would give the Russians an overwhelming preponderance in numbers. The Russian plans all look forward to this time when, by the co-operation of the fleet, the Japanese communication can be cut off. Then General Kuropatkin will, according to the Russian calculation, be in a position to take the offensive on land and settle the fate of the campaign and war. Capture of Jap Cruiser.

A startling statement comes from Vladivostok, apparently from a reliable source, to the effect that Captain Bcitzenstein's squadron returned to port towing a second-class Japanese cruiser. The inhabitants and the garrison, it is added, gave an enthusiastic reception to the victors. This capture, however, is not confirmed in official quarters. It is understood that General Pulita-non will succeed General Sakharoff a chief of stall of the military district of Turkestan. According to information received at the admiralty a Japanese squadron is now off Chefoo.

The departure of neval reinforcements from tbe Baltic will leave a fairly strong squadron of coast defense and other ships to protect Russia' European coast line. Egypt May Search Ships. The Russian authorities have been privately informed that the Egyptian (government to exercise sur-j veillance over ships other than war- nnceiTity Vi ecu 4Vi tho Ciller rnniI in order to ascertain whether they carry contraband of war.

A party of six clerks on the third floor, found a coil of wire which they fastened to the window sill, and slid down 40 feet to the street. Five night clerks, asleep on the top floor, made their escape by fleeing across the roofs. The smoke poured into the offices of the Wells Fargo Express Company adjoining, and compelled all in the building to flee to the street. Before leaving, the clerks in the cashier's office threw about $lfiO 000 gold, silver and checks into canvas bags and carried the treasure in safety across Broadway to the vaults of the Knickerbocker Trust Company.
