These docks have now been blown up to make them useless to the Japanese. The destruction of the town, whether partial or complete, is one of less conse quence. It had little more than an official population, and its oc cupation would not be of especial importance to an invading army, except as associated with the har bor. Nor does it appear that the harbor facilities of Dalny were essential to the Japanese plans, although they would have made the port most valuable to them in the operations in Southern Man churia. This was a sufficient mil itary consideration to compel the Russians, before evacuating the place, to destroy the works upon which so much money and effoit has been expended. The humili ation is only a little lessened by this sacrifice. Ilussia now has but little left of what she has been so long con tending for upon the coast, except the beleaguered fortress of Port Arthur, and the Japanese are pressing close upon General Ku ropat kin's army in Manchuria. To the Eussians themselves the de struction of Dalny will again sug gest reminiscences of the Moscow campaign, bnt the parallel is not very close. Dalny represented the utmost achievement of Russia's long-pursued policy in the east, and its abandonment, under what ever conditions, is a significant abasement of Russian pride. auese approach. Col. Spiridoroff, of the Amur railroad batallion, is seeking to render the railroad as useless as possible to the ene my by removing the switches and otherwise disabling the road. The Russians are retiring because of the approach of the Japanese col umns sent westward by Gen. Ku rokaki, immediately after the oc cupation of Feng Wang Cheng. Experts who discussed the mil tary situation today expressed the opinion that Gen. Kuropatkin will not remain at Liao Yang. Their view seems to be borne out by the reports from Liao Yang announc ing the departure of Russian fam ilies from that point. It is said that Gen. Kuropatkin is not at all discouraged by the advance of the Japanese. Telegrams received here today from Liao Yang report him as being "perfectly satisfied" with the outlook.
