Storm Prevents Landing Of Japanese
Army at Helena Bay.

LONDON, March 21.-Nothing has
reached here to confirm the report that
a battle has taken place on the Yalu,
in which the Russians are alleged to
claim that they captured 1900 prisoners.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg to a
news agency, dated yesterday, says
there has been no change in the situa
ton and that all is quiet on land and
sea. Along the Russian line from Ping
yang to the Yalu River and the Japa-
nese line to Gensan there have been
slight skirmishes between scouts, but
no battle has taken place, as the dis
tance between the opposing armies is
too great. The bulk Of the Russian
forces. the dispatch adds, has not yet
passed the Yaln.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph says that the mill
tary authorities were startled by the
attempt of the japanese to land in
Helena Bay. as the nearest Russian
force that could have been used against
them consisted of three rife regiments
at Newchwang. A storm having hin
dered the Japanese landing. energetic
measures are now being adopted to
prevent such a descent. Among the

VALPARAISO Chile. March 20.-The
Chilean Times reports the consensus Of
native opinion as growing in bitterness
toward the United States. The semi
official journals of Santiago, by their
attitude on the Panama question, have
encouraged the anti-American senti-
ment, which became so pronounced as
to force an abandonment Of the project
ed Chilean exhibit at St. Louis, "for
reasons of economy" but on the same
date the resolution was taken it was
announced that in 1910 the South
American Exposition will be held in the
capital, "to celebrate Chile's independ-
ence and demonstrate the advancement
of the republics of Latin America dur
ing the hundred years since 1t was OBJ
tained.
The leading Valparaiso papers COM
pliment the administration upon its ac-
ton in holding off from the Louisiana
Purchase Fair as commemorating the
beginning of the American imperialis-
tic policy of expansion-"which can
only be looked upon with distrust by
Latin republics of the continent and a
menace TO their future political exist
ence."
it is intimated that Chile will at
tempt the formation Of an anti-impe-
rialistic league by republics which ac-
cept an invitation to take part in her
projected exposition in 1910, with well
defined ti-Yankee programme.

In cabling the fact that all British
and American residents at Newchwang
must remain within the walls. the cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle at
NeWchwang says:
II was arrested while attempting to
leave yesterday"
The correspondent says it is rumored
that japanese squadron arrived at
the mouth of the Liao River on Sun
day night and landed a party which,
after reconnoitering, re-embarked.
A correspondent of the Times at
Newchwang cables as follows:
According to information received
here, the reason the Vladivostok forts
did not reply to the bombardment by
the Japanese was because the batteries
were not provided with guns. Since
the bombardment parties have been
working night and day to place the
guns in position The bombardment
destroyed the Linievitch battery. The
Russian losses were slight because the
batteries there are deserted. The same
conditions prevail at Vladivostok as at
Port Arthur. The supply of provisions
there is running short and the popula-
ton is panic stricken. The ice is con-
sidered the only real protection"

Shortage in Tea supply.

MOSCOW, March 20.-Owing TO the
discontinuance Of the trips Of the
volunteer feet steamships no tea is
coming from Ceylon by water. The
practical suspension Of freight trains
over the Trans-Siberian Railroad
makes IL almost impossible to get tea
from China. One merchant, who has
20 900 chests Of tea en- route in Man
churia, offers 10 sell il at a nominal
price 70 the Government for the use
Of the soldiers. Because of the diff
Guilty in delivery here the merchants
have decided as a last resort to return

through Kiakhta and will petition the
Government to afford them facilities

SEOUL, March 1S.-The Supreme
Court here is clearing the local prison
by wholesale executions nightly. In
the last three nights six prisoners have
been decapitated and thirty-eight
hanged. Many of these victims have
been in Jail for years without trial.
Now they have been hurriedly con-
demned to execution. Some were for
mer students in Japan and others were
thieves, highwaymen, embezzlers Of
public funds, political offenders and
traitors. All suffer the same penalty.
and as the bodies are carried out
strings of ten or twenty condemned
men bound together refill the cells
vacated.
1t is probable that the represen-
tat1ves of the powers will investigate
and, If justified, will take action. The
prisoners are heavily guarded, as it is
feared the Pedlars Guild, which is
principally composed of the city's
rougher element, may force an en-
trance and liberate the prisoners.

LONDON, March 21.-A dispatch to
the Express from Johannesburg says
a battalion Of a Welsh regiment, num-
bering 600 men, was in open mutiny
yesterday at Howick Natal. The bat
talon was on the way from Pretoria.
TO Durham for embarkation.
The officers had tried .vainly to
maintain discipline, but the men got
entirely out of hand. They carried
their arms into Howick, raided drink
ing bars and stores and drove the
town folk before them. There were
wild scenes of rioting and soon there
were forty-one casualties.
The mutineers spread over a circuit
Of two miles, taking possession of
houses and pillaging and terrorizing
people.
A telegram was sent to Pietermar-
itzburg for help and the commander
there dispatched a battalion of troops
with two maxim guns to restore or
der.
The War Office here says it has no
information on the subject.

Pacific Navigation Company, to-day
asked Captain Gaudin, representative
of the Department of Marine and
Fisheries, to send out the Dominion
Government steamer Quadra to look
after the steamer Queen City of the

steam raised on the vessel which sail
ed tonight on her quest, taking with
her a couple of newspaper men. She
will carefully search all the coves and
inlets from Race Rocks northward in
the endeavor to locate the missing
steamer.
Serious alarm is felt here because no
word has come from Clayoquot, Bam-

Queen City, all those points being con-

when it was learned that the railway
between VladivOstOk and Harbin had
been torn up and the bridges dynam-

miles out at sea, and these vessels are

The first flush of the war fever has
