 General Kuropatkin, commander in commander here, who has been prais- 1 ed on account of the order and dis cipline prevailing at Newchwang, says he is prepared for Japanese attack, which it is evident the general staff expects.
 "All is quiet on the Yalu" is the re- port which General Kachtalinky has telegraphed to General Kuropatkin, who forwarded the message to the em- peror.
 The report added that an exchange of shots occurred between Russian cav airy and Japanese skirmishers near the Yalu. The Russians sustained no l losses. Five Japanese were killed. I The stores of Russian village near Yongampo, south of Wiju, on the Yalu river, Korea, have been wrecked and burned by a detachment of Japanese l infantry numbering 300 men. I General Kachtalinky reported that l opposite Turmitchen, on the island of Matuzeo, In the Yalu river, some Rus sian volunteers had skirmish with a Japanese outpost from Wiju. There were no casualties on the Russian side. Six Japanese were killed.
 l A Tokyo dispatch says a conference has been held at the imperial head quarters before the throne, at which 1 Lieutenant General Terauchi, minister of war; Vice Admiral Yamamoto, min ister of the navy; commanding officers 1 in the army and navy, Major General Ishimoto, vice minister of war; Rear Admiral Saito, vice minister of the navy, and number of the elder states men were present It is understood that the recent naval campaign was discussed; and detailed reports of Vice Admiral Togos operations were re- ported.
 It is reported from Harbin that the l Japanese intend to land at Takushan, l ffty-five miles west of the mouth of the Yalu river, on Saturday night un- der cover of another bombardment of Port Arthur
 People arriving from Liaoyang re port that the troops are impatient to attack the Japanese. The soldiers say they did not come east to lie on their backs and that 1t is time to march.
 A Seoul report says a Japanese who served with the fleet in the attacks on Port Arthur, interviewed there, states:
 "The Japanese ships are divided into seven squadrons. Four of them are watching Port Arthur, the fifth squad ron patrols the Korean coasts, while the sixth and seventh cruise between Vladivostok and the north of Japan.
 "The second fleet, which was sent up to Vladivostok, has returned and is close to, Port Arthur
 .The Japanese fleet has sustained but little damage so far. Only the Iwate and the Yashima have been in jured, and these have now been re paired and have rejoined the fleet.
 Two of our torpedo boats have been much damaged, but that is the sum to- tai of our losses
 We expect to be sent into Port Ar thur again within few days and to give better account of ourselves than ever and to surprise the Russians. T think the place should soon fall. Several of the forts have been put out of action, and more will follow
