CLEAR PORT ARTHUR CHANNEL
New York, May 12.-A World dispatch from St. Petersburg says, in explanation of the explosions heard at Port Arthur, which led to the reports that the Russians were destroying their war ships in that harbor, that the garrison of Port Arthur is endeavoring to clear the entrance of the stone landed ships sent in by the Japanese.
To remove the obstructions divers are reported to have been sent down, who placed the dynamite and succeeded in blowing away enough of the cement and rock to admit of the passage of torpedo boats through the channel.
