State Department Has Advices.

Reports have reached the State Depart
ments, the sources of which are not dt-
vulged by the officials, to the effect that a
great battle has been fought on the Yalu
river, resulting in a sweeping Japanese vic
tory. No details are obtainable.
The Japanese legation here has no news
confirming these reports, but the matter
has aroused intense interest in official cir
cles. Reports which have from time to time
reached the Washington government from
it's agents in the field indicated that the two
great armies would not come into touch
before May l. and that what has hereto
fore occurred was nothing more than mere
outpost skirmshes and collisions between
scouting parties. 1t is believed now now
ever, that the weather conditions in Man
churia have improved sufficiently to faclll-
tate the movements of troops and artillery
and that the two vanguards have conse-
ouently come together a few days In ad-
vance of the expected date.

scene of the japanese crossing OF the 1aiu

churian side of the river, which, II is re-
