SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, April a.-Advices
have been received by the steamer
Rio de Janeiro from the Associated Press
correspondent at Toxic under the date OF
March 18th, as follows.
The plan OF the latest campaign in
Manchuria is now clearly explained
though few.important facts are added to
those previously reported. For the first
time since the capture OF Ping Yang, the
movements of the Japanese troops are
directed by soldiers skilled in the science
of modern warfare and the same leader
that won the earliest of the series OF
victories now conducts the operations in
the valley of the Liao river. General
MOdzer promoted to the highest grade OF
the army, assumed control III February Of
the First Division commanded by Lieu
tenant General Yamaji in addition to his
own-the Fifth--and the Third of which
Lieutenant General Katzura Is the chief.
His scheme was TO divide the attention of
the Chlese armies in Manchuria and
keep them rs far apart AS possible, when
he concentrated his forces upon the
several points of attack.
Lieutennnt General Yamaj was first
ordered to take the field. About 5000 Of
his division marched from kai Ping on
February a. seized the strong Chinese
position some IL miles southeast of Wing
kow, and by this threatening attitude
| prevented General sung from sending for
| ward any large number OF his troops
oamped Oh the mouth Of the Lao river.
| On February 18th. Lieutenant-Gene
| Kntzuru. with 5000 OF the Third division,
started from Hal Ching 10 drive the Man
churia force OF General Ito toward Lao
Yang. For two days Ito retreatcd in much
disorder, and when Il distance of IL miles
from Hal Chen, Kutzura suddenly turned
and led his men south ward again. but by,
another road, which brought him to Old
New ChwRng on the 18th of March.
Meanwhile General Nodzu had crossed
from Hal Cbeng to New Chwang in a
straight line nj the head Of 1000 nf tho
Fifth division. Accom- bined assault upon
the city was made March 9th, and ut :
o'clock in the afternoon the northern hall
was in the hands Of the Japanese. Several
thousand of the defenders belonging To
the army of General WI fled through The
southern gates toward 1ihS huw and
lien Chwaug Tai,
They ran into the houses and kept d
personal lire upon the Japanese until Late
at night when they were brought to sub
mission by blowing up many of the build
ings III which they had barricaded them
selves. Nearly 1000 were supposed Il
have been killed and an equal numbeI
wounded or taken prisoners. The .spoil'
were of great value. Thousands of horse
