Russian Fleet Will Not be Captured If Port Arthur Falls. It can be safely predicted, says a St. Petersburg dispatch, that the Russian squadron at Port Arthur will not wait until the last moment before going out. The admiralty seems to entertain. no fear, if the situation there becomes desperate, that the squadron will be caught like a rat in a trap. Rear Ad miral gave assurances on this point, a portion hf which "has not been made pub-- lie, and said that every ship except the Pobieda was now ready to go to sea at a moments notice, and that the channel was clear. He confirmed the belief which existed In SL Petersburg that the Japanese will continue their efforts to block the channel before the decisive moment to storm .the fortress on the land side arrives, and has made plans accordingly.
