RUSSIANS OCCUPY VIII
AND DESERT PORT ARTHUR
Russian war Base Has Been Changed
to Harbin.

Seoul: The report that 5000 Russian
troops had arrived at Chin Tien Chung
opposite Win, on the Yalu river, is
confirmed, as is the report that the
Russians have occupied Win itself.
They have 1000 troops at win, and the
first collision is expected somewhere
in that vicinity.
Exodus from Port Arthur Is Panic.
Hardin: The exodus from Port
Arthur has become a panic since it
has become generally known that Har-
bin has been made the Russian base OF
supplies. Trains are laden with refug-
ees, who we're expelled because they
would consume provisions needed for
the troops; 1000 travellers are wait
ing to cross Lake Baikal, suffering ex-
tremely with the bitter cold. One
hundred and twenty thousand troops
from Moscow and Poland are ex-
pected. There will be 100000 troops
in Manchuria within twelve days.
Dudley Porter on the Exadus.
London: Dudley Porter cables from
Berlin to the Daily Mail as follows:
1 have Just arrived from Russia,
where learned from sources in
close touch with the Russian mil
itary authorities that Viceroy Alex.
left, in view of the impossibility of
maintaining a protecting line of com
munication 1900 mile long, as vulner.
able to attack as the railway through
Manchuria, has determined to fall
back to Hardin, leaving Port Arthur
to work out her own salvation.
Alexieff is now fortifying Hardin
and preparing it as base for large
army. He has the fullest confidence
in Port Arthur being able to stand
a prolonged siege should the Japan
csc be allured by that tempting bait
as were the Beers by Ladysmith, Kim
beTly and MafeBing.
The Japsneses will be placed in a
dilemma. If they advance on Port
Arthur there will be a perpetual
menace to their rear, and If they
don't advance Alexieff will collect
his forces at Hardin and wait until
spring concentrating troops, when
he will advance in such overwhelming
strength that resistance to him viii
be impossible.
The news has been received in
military circles with CONSERVATION,
causing a more painful sensation than
the calamities which have befallen the
Russian fleet. as it clearly shows the
formidable nature of Russia's enemy.
Russian naval officials believe the
cruiser Baiyan met a similar fate as
the Yenesel, having accidentally
touched a Russian mine.
The feeling of alarm and despond.
ency at Moscow and St. Petersburg
