RECENT REPORT
NOT CONFIRMED
No Account of a Big Battle on
the YaIu River.
SITUATION is UNCHANGED
LITTLE NEWS FROM THE SCENE
OF CONFLICT.

Z ONDON, March 21-Nothing has
reached here to confirm the report
that a battle has taken place on
the Yalu. in which the Russians are al
legged TO claim that they captured 1880
prisoners.
n dispatch from st. Petersburg to a
news agency, dated yesterday, says
there has been no change in the situa-
ton, and that all is quiet on land and
sea. Between the Russian line from
Ping Yang to the Yalu river and the
Japanese line TO Gensan there have
been slight skfrmishes between scouts,
but no battle has taken place, as the
distance between the opposing armies
is great. The bulk Of the Russian
forces, the dispatch adds, has not yet
passed the Yalu river.
Bad Weather Prevented.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Daily Telegraph says that the mill
tary authorities were startled by the
attempt of the japanese 10 land in
Helena bay, as the nearest Russian
force that could have been used against
them consisted of three rifle regiments
at New Chuang. The weather having
hindered the Japanese landing, ener-
getic measures are now being adopted
10 prevent such a descent Among the
other devices adopted has been the con-
centratiOn of troops at Foo Chow,
twenty two miles south Of Helena bay.
in cabling the fact that all British
and American residents at New Chuang
must remain within the walls. a CORES
spondent of the Daily Chronicle at New
Chuang says:
Il was arrested while attempting to
leave yesterday
The correspondent says II is rumored
that a Japanese squadron arrived al
the mouth of the Lao river Sunday
night and landed party. which, after
accommodating, re-embarked.
