IF PORT ARTHUR HOLDS OPT.
There can be no active union between the two sections of the Japanese army (that on the mainland and that on the peninsula).
4. The Russian forces in the midland plaio, which are increasing every week by at least 5,000 men, and probably by over 20,000, will be able to take.the offensive
Russian ideas of Port Arthur's impregnable character are fantastic, in, the light of much London press comment. English papers, fact, almost imply that the Japanese are kept out of the citadel-by their own self-restraint, The London News handed the place over to 25.

troops to spare, "As for relief by sea, that can come only from Europe, and it is to be hoped that it will have time to arrive, thanks to the energy of the garrison." But the black cloud has a silver streak, for the Japanese will not
try to capture the place by assault." "It is too formidable, too well equipped with rapid-fire batteries. Not a single regiment would reach the walls," Yielding to none in its admiration of Russian military capacity, the Journal des Débats (Paris) is far more hopeful. it assumes that Port Arthur can hold out "the indispens able minimum of time for the Manchurian army to go to us relief without risking any thing," and adds:
E
ASIAN WAR HARD ON HORSES.
If the war is rough on men it is rougher still on horses, if the ghastly stories which slowly reach St. Petersborg from Mukden, Kharbin and the Baikal are worthy of credence. And as they appear in the local press, which is sub-
lo Government censorship, there are no good grounds for doubting them. In the Bai-

After soon became unprofitable for the owner of the first line of defence the Japanese will have one of three over-worked quadrupeds to in- capture a second, and a glance at the map vest any money in fodder, and lucrative to let leads to the inference that they will next have the animals work on almost unceasingly with to rush a third before giving the signal for an onslaught upon the citadel itself, which, in any event, promises to be terribly sanguinary,"
But there can be no relief for Port Arthur from the line side, says the London Speaker, whose military expert has followed the war with great care and accuracy. And if Port Arthur can hold out, adds the English weekly, the following consequences will result:
