A dispatch from Toxic, telling of
Sundays skirmish near Pingyang,
says:
sThe first shots of the war on land
were exchanged today at Pingyang.
A small detachment of Russian in
fantry, evidently scouts, appeared
this morning to the orthward OF the
town. The Japanese outposts opened
fire from a range of 100 meters, and
the Russians retired.
The telegram reporting the incident
fails to mention any casualties. 1t Is
presumed there were none, on ac
count of the small number of men
engaged and the distance separating
the opposing forces.
1t is anticipated here that there
will be a small engagement soon

the Russians are scouting over an
extended area, close to the japanese
positions, but general engagement
