TIIE MORNING GUARDIAN
MONDAY, HAY 9. !iN4.
win lliws cimiiscs.
There is much doubt and ccniiictoi
statement with regard to the number of
troops, and the losses ` l'o8P°°°lV°‘
ly oi the two armies engaged in the lllo
battle at the Yaln River. The Russian
force on or near the scene,not all ol which
wasactually engaged is variously esti-
mated at £1,011) ta 59,000. The Japanese
force was probably 8ll,iI)0 to 
The Russians now admit losses
of between 3,000 and 4,il.\0. As
the Japanese were the attacking
party throughout, it would seem prob-
able that their losses would be as great
asthose of the Russians, as the latter
fought under cover of entrenchments.
But allowance must be made lor the ap-
. parently great superiority of the Japan-
ese artillery and riils fire. And yet no
Japanese account has yet admitted a loss
ofmore than till. The Russians claim
that _the Japanese losses were greater
than their own. A London newspaper de-
clares the bittle to have been “the
bloodiest since the battle of 0mdurman,"
Again there are conflicting accounts as
to the Russian losses in guns and prison-
ers. One account tells ot 20 field guns
lost, another of 28 guns; another of 22
quick-firing guns and 8 machine guns,
and still another account says the Rus-
sians lost 31 guns. The'Russians say they
disabled the :runs by breaking the breech
blocks, which was prohably but partially
affected, as in one case all the men
and horses of a battery were killed.
The Japanese accounts `do not mention
that the captured guns were dis-
abled. lt is a great disgrace in the
Russian army for the men ol a battery to
lose their guns. For a hundred years,
down to a recent date any regiment los-
ng its nuns was struck off the army roll.

The repeated and persistent efforts
made by Admiral Togo, each more deter.
mined than the former, to block up the'
entrance to Port Arthur, shows the
snpremeimportanee he attaches to hott-I
ling up the Russian fleet. At one time
some weeks ago six large stone laden
vessels were sunk in the roadatead but
not precisely In the right position. In the
latestaitevnpt on May 8 twelve ships,
averaging over will toaacacbvrere dar-
patched but most of them were sunk by
Russian fire from the forts, and not
in ine' desired position. 'nie
wrecks of eight of them have been
definitely located, and two others were
also sunk while the remaining two turned
back owing to the severity of the Russian
fire. The sea bottom is thus strewn with
wrecks, sixteen of them being Japanese
hulks sunk for the purpose of blocking
,the channel, while one Russian battleship
and other smaller craft have been sent
down by Japanese torpedo toata and
mines. The losses oi the Russian ileetin
ofllcers and men now makc` a total of
nearly 1,000.
With the purchase of the Hotel Davies
and the promise of its early reopening
it seems a pity that we have not a Tourist
Association in active working to stimulate
tourist travel in this direction. There
is yet time to do much before the fourth
of July when the tide of American travel
sets in. News travels pretty fast these
days, [and if the new hotel management,
the railway and the steamship companies
whose steeiners ply to and from the
Island will bestir themselves to let the
outside world know we are again in a
position to accommodate tourists in good
numbers, we may yet enjoy afair share
of the tourist business. We regard it as
exceedingly fortunate that the hotel is to
be-reopened, and we trust that steps will
be taken that will ensure its being kept
open for years to come.
