The Morning PomPs Shanghai correspondent, under date of May 14, aaya it ia reported that ten British warships left Hong Kong yesterday for Yang Tse. The Times correspondent on Issu'd the Kalmnn, the dispatch boat of that paper, explalna that his long silence ia due to his having been warned not to proceed north of the Che line until further notice. He attribute the flaaco on the Yalu to Rua-sia- s change of plan, the decision to hold the river and the frenzied efforts then made at the eleventh hour to improve the defective positions, with the result that the Japanese caught the Russians In a state of transition. The correspondent expresses the opinion that the main interest in the near future will center around Port Arthur. Ta-fano- ri WEATHER rraiv-lieare- d tY it '.i it ' card-playin- t |
