London, April pa Seoul dispatch
to the Chronicle dated Thursday says:
Heavy fighting has taken place on the
Yalu river. For st ategetic reasons 1t
| is impossible to send particulars at
present 1t was thought that the i'm
/ portant Russian movement had been
made over the Yumen river. 1t Is
known that thirty Cossacks came down
ard pillaged Song Chin. After burn
| ing Japanese houses the Russian ma
gauders returned to Tumen.''
Seoul Korea, via Shanghai.-The be-
/ lief is general here that no attempt will
be made to cross the Yalu river before
4 the end Of this week. by which time
the arrangements for concerted Jap
anese movement, a simultaneous rush
| toward the liver from three distinct
points will have been perfected
| The second Japanese army is sup
posed to have left Japan on April l6;
| it probably will attempt to lard near
Port Arthur, while other forces will
i try to land on the Manchurian coast
near Takushan or Ta Tung Kao.
Part of the general advance viii be
toward Lao Yang and a division of
the guards 10000 strong, unGer Major
Genel al Inouye, will be the first troops
sent against the Russians at Cheng.

The supplies now being landed at
1 Chulsan near the mouth of the river
on Korean ter. itory, can be forwarded
! easily to Wiju, not more than twenty
miles away. Wiju is to be the Japan
ese base in northern Korea.
The artillery and cavalry constitute
weak points. The horses are not well
| trained. nor are they strong, and al
| though the japanese cavalry behaved
splendidly in recent skirmishes with
superior numbers of Cossacks. 1t is not
probable that when the first lot OF
trained horses is exhausted, the en-
ployment of a second consignment of
raw animals will hamper their move
ments.
The howitzers which are now being
embarked at Chinnampo are evidently
intended for use in the movement
against Port Arthur.
London.-A st. Petersburg dispatch
says that it is reported there that the
Japanese have bombarded and landed
at New Chwang. These forces will
p. obably join the force landed near
the mouth of the Yalu three days ago.
A rumor has also been circulated that
Port Arthur has fallen.
st. Petersburg.-In order to harmon
ize the army and navy operations. Vice
Admiral Skydloff will stop at Lao
Yang on his way to Port Arthur to
confer with Gene. al Kuropatkin. The
admiral and the general are warm per-
sonal friends ard both are completely
independent of the vice oy. In spite
of the bad relations between SkydiofT
! and Alexieff. pressure is being brought
to bear to prevent the viceroy's imme-

PaYis.-A ST. Petersburg correspon-
dent reports that he has learned that
Kuropatkin has o dered an advance of
the Russian forces massed in north
eastern Korea.
London. - A correspondent of the
Times, cabling from Newchwang. says
that a messenger has arrived there
| from the Yalu river with the informa-
tion that the Russians are fleeing north
across the river in overcrowded boats
and are losing hundreds by drowning.
London.-The Toxic correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph says that Port
Arthur undoubtedly is effectually
blocked and that events are culminat-
ing around the doomed fortress.
st. Petersburg.-Th admiralty, 1t Is
! announced. intends to fit out two ships
purchased from Germany which for
merly were in the transatlantic SER
vice. together with a number of ships
VI lilt NOluHltST lSSlp with
guns and send them to the Pacific to
prey upon japanese commerce. The
admiralty believes that by this means
il can prevent the resumption of opera
tions by the japanese commercial fleet
and strike a hard blow against Japan's
hope of maintaining her resources for
the prosecution of the war.
