CHINA rs ALARMED
Step Taken to Prevent Seizure Of
More Territory.


More Territory.
Berlin, March 8.-The Ber1iner
Tageblatt To-day publishes a sensa-
t1onal communication regarding the
neutrality NDf China.
The communication has been given
additional Importance by having been
declared by the Chinese minister to
be a correct view Of the situation
1t states that China welcomed Sec
rotary Hays proposal for her neu-
trality, but soon thought that merely
a moral guarantee would be little pros
lection against the belligerent powers.
She therefore determined to take
steps to protect her northern frontier,
because she feared that one Of the
belligerent powers would take advan-
tase OF the opportunity to seize fur
ther Chinese territory.
China is willing to abandon Mans
churia to Russia in order to save the
rest of the empire. She is convinced
that If one power seizes Chinese ter-
ritory, a scramble for the celestial em-
pire. will begin. She regards the
maintenance Of her neutrality els 81
question of life and death.
Troops were, therefore, dispatched
to the frontier, and tho only part
of the $4,000 men in the northern
provinces were sent to the frontier.
Russia demanded their withdrawal.
ALI of China's prOtestations Of her
good intentions were unavailing. She
had actually to stop sending troops
to Picking, but Is now considerinH
ways and means for their dispatch.

Chi-fu, March 8.-There is excel
lent ground for believing that a Rus
sian land force has been defeated with
much loss on the north bank of the
river at Anju.
The Japanese military authorities
at Ping Yang have suppressed all in
formation as to the Russian repulse,
but Korean natives coming down to
Chlnampho Saturday night, say that
more than 1000 Russian cavalrymen
were attacked from the north side of
the river by infantry that descended
from Yong Wong, and from the south
by artillerymeil. The Russians were
reported in full flight toward Kusong
and Chon-ju.
This is confirmed also from Kasan,
which is at the mouth Of the river
from ANU. It is said that seventy Of
the Cossacks were killed and forty
taken prisoners.
At Chemulpho the only information
is that the battle took place last
Wednesday, the Russians being sur
prised in an attempt to cut the tele-
graph wires south Of Anju.

In the letter transmitting Bona

mission who were connected with
financial institutions in the territory
should sever their connection with
such institution or resign from the
commission. .Bixby said he had not
received such letter, and did not care

1t is understood that Bixby finds
fault withs Bonaparte's conclusions,
both as they relate to him personally
and officially, on the ground that he
(Bonaparte) could not, have made a

Dispositions on which Bonaparte's
conclusions are based were of those
persons who had been disappointed in
various ways in enrolment allotments,
and were not of much value because
they rejected grievances.
It was learned to-day that Bixby
is no longer an officer of the Cana
dian Valley Trust. company, but still
holds stock in it. He tried to sell his
stock after Brosius' report was pub

He claims he resigned as president

Toxic, March s.-A considerable
body Of Russian troops has been
trapped in northeastern Korea by the
Japanese column operating under
command of General Okla
1t was reported officially here to-
day that 1.500 Of the enemy had pene-
trated to King-sung, which, if true,
means they have the Japanese feet in
front Of them in the Sea of Japan
and several brigades Of infantry in
their rear on the Jujun river. The
Russians, 1t seems, crossed the Too

There is a considerable force south
OF them at Kilju, north of them at
Onseng and west of the mountains at

COMMANDMENT DENIED
Russians Declare Japanese Fleet Did
Not Attack V1adivostok.

st. Petersburg, March S.-There ID
no truth in the report that the Japan
csc fleet bombarded Vladivostok all
day long yesterday. According to the
latest information, the fleet simply
showed itself and sailed away with
out firing a gun.
One reason for the appearance OF
the Japanese in northern waters adj
vanced here is their probable desire
to regain possession Of the island OF
Sakhalien, which was coded to Russia
by Japan.
The whole of northern Japan will.
be threatened with famine If the food
supply derived from the island OF
Saghalien fisheries is cut off.
The Russian government will pres
pare a gunboat fotilla on the Amur
to provide for the protection Of the
from ice.
The wife of Admiral Stark, former
commander Of the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur, has returned here from
Port Arthur. She denies the report
that the admiral and his officers were
ashore attending a ball at the time
the Japanese attacked the Russian
husband did not pass the night ashore
after he took command of the squad
ron. On the night of the attack, Feb.
8, all the officers and crew were on
board at 5 o'clock in the afternoon
and at at night the admiral held a.
council of war on board the flagship,
instead of opening ball in honor OF
his wife's birthday. This was followed
by a sham Japanese attack at IL
