Closely Guarded.

Nagasaki, dated Friday. Feb. II, state
tnat absolute reticence is maintained
by the government. An intense war
feeling prevails among all classes. al
though there is an apparent absence
OF excitement Among the striking
features OF the situation are the strict
censorship which is exercised over all
cablegrams and the close concealment
of military and naval movements.
1t has been the government S policy
to have the news OF naval conflicts
come as a complete surprise.
The Russians in Japan are moi terri
fed by the situation, but, nevertheless,
acting on the advice of their consuls,
they have begun general exodus.
The mobilization of the Japanese
army has been carried out methodi-
cally. Ii is estimated that 100000
troops are now ready to be placed in
the field without impairing the nation
al defenses The movements of the
troops are shroudsd in mystery.
They are being moved at night to-
ward their bases at Sasebo. Kure Miji

WHILE PORT ARTHUR FLEET
is BOTTLED UP.
JAPANESE DEFEAT NOT CONFIRMED
REPORTED LOSS or FOUR HUN
DRED MEN IN LAND Fight
WITH RUSSIANS.

Washington, Feb 6.-InformatioI
has reached here that nearly 10000
Japanese troops We're landed al Che
mulpo Sunday, the first division of
large number which will be thrown in
to Korea as rapidly as possible in the
effort thoroughly to occupy the stra
tegic points in the Hermit kingdom
while the Russian feet is bottled up in
Port Arthur
BY one conversant with the Japan
csc plans it is stated that the repeated
attacks on Port Arthur are not for the
purpose of seizing that place at pres
ent unless an unexpected weakness III
the foTtifications there should de-
velop. They are part of we'll de-
fined plan for the harrassing OF the
Russian feet until Korea can be oc-
cupied The bottling up OF the fleet
there enables the landing of troops in
Korea without the convoy of large
number of warships. The reports Of
disorder in various parts of Korea
hastened the operations of the Japan
ese that they might obtain possession
before anarchy became prevalent and
foreign interests menaced in conse
Quence.
The taking OF Port Arthur will form
the second number OF the war pro-
gramme. First, however, it is learned
that the Japanese propose to cut the
line of communication well up on the
railroad running from Newehwang TO
Port Arthur. 1t is expected large
Japanese force will land at New
chwang shortly for this purpose.
