Washington. May 2-Rcports nave
reached the state department. the
sources Of which the officials do not
care to divulge, TO the effect that a
great battle has been fought on the
Yalu river, resulting in a complete
Japanese victory. Details are unob-
tainable
The Japanese legation here has no
news confirming these reports, but the
matter has aroused intense interest III
official circles. Reports which nave
from time to time reached tn Wash
ingtcn government from its agents in
the field indicated that the two great
armies would not come in touch before
May | and that what has heretofore
occurred was nothing more than mere
outpost skirmishes and collisions be
tween scouting parties. II is believed
now, however, that the weather eondi-
tions in Manchuria have improved
sufficiently to facilitate the movements
of troops and artillery and that the
two vanguards have consequently come
together a few days in advance o. the
expected date.
The state departments adyiceS
place the scene OF the Japanese cross
ing of the ialu at ChintienchenS,
town on the Manchurian side of the
river, which, it is reported, was finally
captured by the japanese. The date
of the battle is stated TO have beea
last Tuesday and the delay in receiy-
ing the news is ascribed to the ABB
sence OF telegraph facilities in this re.
mote quarter of Manchuria.

object of taking the Russian forces
near tho mouth of the river in the
