PROGRESS OF CAMPAIGN.
Minister Hayashi Gives His Views OF
Immediate Results of General
kuroki's Victory.

Immediate Results OF 0enerdI
kuroki's Victory.
London May 3.-Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister here, gave to the
press the following statement:
"The immediate result of General
Kurokis success will probably be
movement on Feng Huan Chang, which
the Chinese had fortified with their
usual brick structures. Since the COM
mencement of the war the Russians
doubtless have added earthworks, but
their loss of guns Sunday must seri-
ously diminish their defensive
strength
II understand that Russia had only
100 guns in Manchuria. II that Is
the case, her artillery strength has
been diminished almost one-third.
"They fight well, those Russians,
and Feng EIuan Cheng will not be
taken without a hard struggle unless
General Kuropatkin again changes his
plan of campaign. The announcement
that the Russians would not contest
the crossing of the Yalu has proved,
as we thought, to be misleading,
Thirty thousand men Is far too large
body for any general to face the
enemy with If it were merely intended
to hamper his movements. Kuropat-
kin evidently meant to make deter
mined resistance, but he either under
estimated our strength or disposed his
forces in the belief that we would not
venture frontal attack.
Japanese Base at Antung.
81 take it from the dispatches re-
ceived that we have now practically
secured control of both banks of the
Yalu. In consequence, our base will
probably be moved to Antung.
ITO be perfectly frank, | must say
| expected the engagement would be
more decisive, especially in view OF
the large number of Russian troops
opposed to us. Its significance must
largely depend upon our ability to pur-
sue the enemy"
Reviewing the whole future of the
struggle that has just commenced in
such deadly earnest on land, Baron
Hayashi said:
THE. duration of the war must lie
rather with Russia than with Japan
For the moment the military advant-
age is with us, for Kuropatkin has ex-
tended his front and we can strike
where and when we will. Our aggres.
sive movement may be carried on to
Mukden, perhaps to Harbin, or further,
but before long there must come 2
stage of the campaign where Russia
| will assume the role of the invadin?
power and where we must act solely
on the defensive. From the beginning
1t has been so, and our aggression is
and has been but a means toward the
eventual repulsion Of an invading
army.
General Kuroki himself probably
cannot say at this moment at exactly
what point our aggression will be
changed into the defensive. Kuropa'
kin, so believe, says he will not un
dertake to drive us back until he ha'
100000 men ready to take the field
think that at least per cent of thai
force will die from sickness, so tina
to keep his force at the maximum re
quired Kdropatkin will always have t.
be transporting $4,000 men from ST
Petersburg-no small task.

with this dreadful accompaniment
Of war, there is only too likely to be
rising among the Manchurians. They
may attack the Russians or they may
attack us. Either case is bad enough
to contemplate.
ITO hep us sit down and wait all
these contingencies we are working
day a night on the Corean railroad
and by October the unfinished portions
of the road between Fusan and Seoul
will be completed and new limo
from Seoul to Wiju will also be ready.
Locomotives are coming from thu
United States and as soon as these ac
rive we will have a strong and rapid
line of communications through all
Corea, which will almost touch our
own mainland, and we will not be
likely to suffer from want of supplies
or reinforcements.
"As regards Port Arthur and Vladi'
vostok, the situation is somewhat diff
ferent | cannot say anything about
| the movements of our other armies

no doubt that the Lao Tung peninsula

Referring to the long period which
elapsed between the declaration o
war and the land fighting Ministe
Hayashi said: THAT waiting whicl
taxed the patience of the rest of th'
world has been a busy and eXcitir'
time for us. Our troops have beel
continually marching and working IL

would initiate the campaign in Man

CAPTAIN JakIoveff Recovering.

The correspondent at Port Arthur
of the Ruslial Slawo of Moscow
telegraphs that he has had an
interview with Captain Jakloveff of the
Russian battleship Petropavlovsk. He
says the captain will soon be able to
start for st. Petersburg. His broken
ribs are set and the fracture of his
skull is healed.
Captain Jalloveff said that few
seconds before the explosion he ran
from the coming tower to repeat an
order to the man at the helm. On his
way he saw Colonel Agapeiff writing
particulars of the fight which had
Just taken place.
Next to him was Verestchagin, the
artist, hurriedly drawing. All of a
sudden the explosion occurred and the
deck of the flagship was enveloped in a
heavy mist pierced by tongues of fire
bursting through all parts of the YES
sci.
Captain Jakloveff was then struck on
tic head and lost consciousness.
The same correspondent describes
the Submarine boat experiments at
proved their ability to remain under
water for a considerable time, and
that the boats were well handled and
that there is a sufficient number OF
them to assure the protection of Port
Arthur and the coast in its vicinity
The Chinese in Manchuria, the cor
respondent further says, are praying
for Russian victory.

Russians Routed at Yalu Crossing.
After five days of continuous fight
ing, largely with artillery, the first
Japanese army under General Kurolu
has forced crossing of the
Yalu river and Sunday, with a gallant
infantry charge covering frontage OF
four miles, it drove the Russians from
Chih Tien Cheng and the heights on
the right bank of the Tho or Aida river,
which enters the Yalu from the north
almost opposite Wiju.
The Japanese turned the left flank
of the Russian position, and in the
battle of Sunday they swept away the
new front interposed by the Russians
to check their onward movement
The present position of the Japan
ese is a dominating one, and they may
force the abandonment of the detences
erected by the Russians at Antung
and other points lower down the river,
The Japanese losses on the Yalu
Sunday were about 700 killed and
wounded
The Russians lost over 500 men.
The Japanese captured 28 quick firing
guns, 20 officers and many men. The
Russians made two stands but were
driven from both.
