A dispatch from Port Arthur denies the
report that 10000 japanese have landed at

Gen Kuropatkin has played strong card
in the game of strategy. large portion

division has been thrown across the upper
reaches Of the Yalu, and considerable
force of cavalry, which crossed the Tumen
some time ago, is moving down to the
