LONDON, Feb. 22.-Minister Hay
ashi's latest advices lead him to be-
lieve that the Japanese troops may
wait two or three months before UNI
dertaking an aggressive movement in
Manchuria. The Japanese feel that
Russia can not be ready even by that
time. They say all their advices show
that she is less prepared than was
China in 1895.
One reason for the Japanese delay
Is that all the smaller inlets are
frozen over, making the embarkation
of troops difficult. This Is especially
true near Port Arthur, where landing
is impossible owing to the ice.
Minister Hayashi discredits the re-
port that $500 Russians were killed
In a battle on the Yalu. He says no
japanese force is In that vicinity
large enough to infiict such a loss
He expects no immediate naval en-
gagements, and says all his advices
indicate that less than 100000 Rus
slams are in Manchuria.
