THE JAPANESE ARE WARY.
Their First Endeavor Is to Cain the
 Liao-Tuug Peninsula.

New York. March Tt would ap- not commit themselves to general plan of campaign entailing marching through Corca without al first enGeay- bring. says a Times dispatch from Chemu,po, to gain possession of the Liao-Tung peninsula.
 The approach of warmer weather in dicates the gradual breaking up of the roads. There is a report that the troops south of Seoul find marching laborous This circumstance, together with the fact that ChinGmpho will be open in II days, doubtless explains the luIl in disembarkation
 Between Ping Yang and Sun-ChCn there ls a tract of comparatively level country The hills starting at the southern border constitute q strategical position of some value now partially occupied by Japanese, whose numbers are daily augmented. Presumably the troops as they are landed, will close up to this point and intren.,h it as pro- lection for the projected base. Chin ampo
 Decentralization, believed to be or a small scale, is taking place on the coast lne. immediately south Gf Hai- Ju. whence the troops will advance parallel with the Pekin road joining those la the neighborhood of Hwang- Ju. thus effecting a gain of five days in the march.

JAPANESE-COREAN TREATY.
Japua Pledges the Safety of Corenn Hoyalt, and Territorial In
 dependence.

Wei Hai Wei. March 1.-The treaty signed. on Tuesday last, be tween Japan and Corea provides for the latter conforming to Japanese ideas of reform, Japan pledging the safety of Corean royalty and territor- ial independence Japan is author ized to resist the encroachment of a third party and to occupy Corean ter ritory. if necessary for strategic pur poses This provision of the treaty justifies Japans occupation of Che mulpo and Seoul and probable move ments northward
 The treaty is considered highly satisfactory by both parties. A Co- rean envoy who is proceeding to Pc kin. during an interview with Gov, Lockhard. expressed convictions that the treaty would be of the highest benefit to Corea. provided Russian en- croachments were frustrated. and that Japan would incur Corea's deep est debt of gratitude.

 At 4:50 o'clock Saturday morning when We were 90 miles to the west ward of Tillamook light, on the coast of Oregon, on our way to this port. Second Officer Reese reported to me that the ship was on fire. I hastened from my stateroom and rang the fire alarm Getting all hands on deck We started to fight the fire. which was located in the after saloon When came on deck the flames were shoot ing 30 feet high in the saloon skylight. We commenced playing water on the fire. but it continued to gather head way until the whole after part of the ship was in flames
 sent Awny In the Boats.
 When it looked impossible to keep the fire under control gave orders to clear away the boats. filling those on the starboard side with women and children. At this time it looked i'm possible to save the ship.
 Finally the starboard boats vera lowered into the water. One of them, in charge of Second Steward Savage, got under the guard and was stove in and later upset, the other boats 90 ing to the rescue.
 The Boats Recalled.
 T do not know just how many peo- pie there were in the various boats lowered. though possibly GO The boats were out in the open until S:30 o'clock. when. believing We had the fire under control. blew three whistles signalling the boats to gather around the ship, and by 9:3O all save those lost were on board again
 The men in the glory hole. when called with the discovery of the fire came up through flames and blinding smoke. Three of these lost their way and rushed into the cockpit where they were suffcated or burned to death.
 When the Fire Was Discovered.
 At the time the fire was discover ed the wind was blowing from the southwest probably 15 miles an hour There was nasty choppy sea run ming
 T have no idea as to the cause or origin of the fire. It appears to have burst forth very suddenly. and but for the heroic work of the crew and pas sengers in fighting 1t the ship and all aboard would have been burned"
