Japanese interests probe Vladivostok bombardment claims
London reports no official confirmation of Vladivostok bombardment. Japanese movements may trap Russian cruisers between Vladivostok and Port Arthur, with rumors of minor Japanese losses. Vladivostok’s defenses seen as aging, supplies reported strained, while Tokyo citizens endure wartime sacrifices.
Hope 18 on Land in Port Arthur War Outlook
St. Petersburg report from March 8 emphasizes that actual land fighting in the Port Arthur campaign is not expected until late April. Russia predicts four army corps plus cavalry and artillery by then, with Port Arthur defense prioritized though large garrisons are avoided. The fallen fleet's loss matters mainly for sea control, not overall strategy, while provisions may last eight months and Cossacks with mountain guns will harass attackers if landings begin.
