The Examiner contains illustra-
tions of scenes at the taking of Port |
Arthur, which Frederic Villiers OBJ

They show the mutilated bodies of |
Chinese merchants lying in front of |
their stores, and go far toward prov |
| ing the worst that was reported of |
barbarities committed by the Japa-
nese army. Mr.. Villiers, who is the |
war correspondent of several leading |
English and American journals, is
visiting America while the Japanese !
army is in winter quarters.
Mr.. Villiers has the following in
the Examiner on the situation;
NO MORE FIGHT THIS WINTER.
| do not think that any serious
fighting can take place until the
early spring, because the severity OF
the winter is only just commencing
now in China. We thoroughly be-
lieve the Japanese army can go any
where ii please, but for the cold.
Cinnamon won't stop the invasion;

Though the Japanese soldier is well
prepared for winter, having his coat
lined with fur and thoroughly equip
ped in every way, yet the commits
sary coolies are not so well provided.
OF course, in campaign OF this
description the commissary is pro-
badly the principal thing.
The roads being hard frozen are
in a better condition now for the
march OF an army than they will be
in the late spring. But the difficulty
is the weather is so severe that it
would be impossible for troops to
camp out. Sometimes the thermo-
meter goes below zero and that tenn
perature lasts for weeks.
NO INDICATION OF PEACE.
: The Japanese at present do not
want to scare the Chinese Govern
.. ment too much. Ii the court leaves
Pekin the Japanese will have no one
to treat with; and il the Japanese
enter and stay in Pekin waiting for
somebody to treat with they will
> have to remain there. China will be
; split up into many factions. At
present think the japanese are on
D the horns Of a dilemma, and the
= sooner they make peace the better
j for their own country and all other

In the meantime, il peace is not
