CONTINUE TO ADVANCE.
Japs Begin Forward Movement From
Fenqhuanchenq.

St. Petersburg, May 13.-Lieutenant
General Sakharoh has sent a dispatch
to the general staff, communicating a
report of General Zassalitch, dated
May 10, as follows:
Troops which appeared to be di-
vision of the Japanese guard have
been advancing for the past two days
from Fenghuancheng westerly in the
direction of Haicheng.
1T is reported that Japanese force,
consisting of about a division of in
fantry, intended to march on Saimadza
with forty guns and 1,500 cavalry.
From reports received from the
river Dazaw, it may be concluded that
the Japanese army is concentrated in
three groups, the two southern groups
being on the lower section of the river
Tayang at Hondouhanya, on the left
bank of the river at Dayan and at
Donamyo in the same locality, and the
northern group opposite Habalina on
the road from Fenghuancheng to Salid-
"a, fourteen to sixteen miles from
Fenghuancheng.
'It is difficult to obtain information
from the local Chinese. In one case
we discovered that the Chinese had
warned the Japanese troops of an am
buscade which had been arranged by
Cossacks"

Inmates recently he has spoken much

conditions of state demand his pres

considered not impossible that he will
follow the example of all the Romanoff
dynasty during the last century and
undergo his baptism of fire. To fight
with the army is one of the traditions
of his house. Alexander l. entered
Paris with the allies after the battle
of Waterloo Nicholas |. died in com
mon soldiers hovel in the Crimea and
Alexander H., with the heir apparent,
were at the front during the Turkish
war. Should he finally conclude to go
the emperor would not assume active
command of the troops, but would
have an imperial headquarters, taking
with him all the members of his mill
tary cabinet. Being on the spot the
emperor would more easily advise Gen
eral Kuropatkin in the event of any
question of great military moment
which he might desire to submit to
his majesty. But, of course, the chief
would be the stimulus
which the personal presence of the sov-
ereign would have on the officers and
men.

Port Dalny on Talienwan bay, on
the east coast of the Liaotung PENN
sula, was intended by Russia to be the
chief commercial emporium of it's East
ern dominions. An edict providing for
its construction was issued by the Rus
Dalny, fully equipped with all modern
Improvements, docks, warehouses and
railroad facilities, was opened to COM
merce in December, 1901.
Talienwan bay is one of the finest
deep water harbors on the Pacific. 1t
is free from ice in winter time and
ships drawing thirty feet of water can
enter at low tide without difficulty and
without the aid of pilots can sail or
steam alongside the immense docks
and piers, where their cargoes can be
loaded into railroad cars and run di-
rect for 5000 miles into the city of
st. Petersburg. Five large piers have
been constructed, each supplied with
numerous railroad tracks and immense
warehouses and elevators, gas, elec
tric lights and water, and a large
breakwater was being constructed SO
that ships could lie at the piers and
load and unload regardless Of weather.
Docks for foreign vessels, steam and
sail, extended between the piers and
along the shore for two miles. There
were two first class dryCpcks, one in
tended for ordinary ocean steamers
and the other designed to accommo-
date the largest vessels of war or com
merce.
Over $6,OOO,0OO had been expended
on the harbor system before the end
Of 1902 and it was estimated that the
cost of completing the work would be
nearly $2O,OO0,000, but this does not in
any way represent the total cost of the
erection of this great commercial port,
which, with Port Arthur, distant about
twenty miles, was leased by the Chi
nese government to Russia in 1898.
