Washington, March 2.-The landing
force of the Japanese on the Lao Tuns
peninsula and the beginning Of the
land investment of Port Arthur Will
not begin for a fortnight. according
to advices received here from what
are believed to be reliable sources.
1t was expected that the attack up

vices, without explaining the reason
for the delay show that there has been

Army officers here think that the
Japanese have decided that with the

the outside cut. thus preventing sup
plies from reaching the place two
weeks earlier, will render the finaf
assault easier.
Moreover, as Port Arthur can be
safely left as 1t Is for the time being,
The Japanese troops may be employed
instead in northern Korea and near
the Yalu river where they are- now
most needed.
