viously Paul Cambon, French ambassa-

that the beginning of hostilities by
Japan came as an absolute surprise
to Great Britain which had done its
utmost to prevent the war. The
speeding of the conflict will be avoid
ed easily, the CORES ondent's inform

of creating a conflict with France, this
person declared, and an emissary Of
this power hash offered certain Eng

War Reports.

London, March 3.-Hardly a word
of news from the seat of war, with
the exception of the Russian official
dispatches, is published here this
morning and it now seems clear that
the story in the Morning Telegraph
two days ago of bombardment of
Port Arthur by the Japanese on Feb.
% is nothing more than a re-echo of
previous attacks. From Yin Kow
comes an unconfirmed report that 500
bandits, armed with modern rifles,
have attacked Russian post to the
west of Haicheng (Heicheng is thirty
two miles east by north of New
Chwang) There was severe fighting
and both sides lost heavily. This re-
port is discredited at Yin Kow, but if
it is true it indicates that a serious
danger is confronting Russia in these
well-armed brigand bands.
