CAMPAIGN EXPLAINED.
1t Is Now Believed Russians Will Net
Dispute Yaiu, But Will Lure

st. Petersburg, April 12.-The gener-
ally anticipated attack on Port Arthur
dld not occur last night, although a
telegram received from Grand Duke
cyril reports hat the enemy's ships
We're sighted on the horizon. 1t is pre-
sumedI that the Japanese were warned
of the extra precautions which had
been taken to guard against a sur
prise.
There w"s no Easter merrymaking
at the front. By special ~dispensatton
the soldiers and sailors were relieved
OF all religious observations, on accoun
of the necessities of the military situa-
ton.
Admiral Makaro:t's torpedo flotilla
patroled the open sea, while the war
ships, with full steam UP, remained
outside Port Arthur. Elsewhere
throughout the theater of war all is
reported quiet.
A high military authority, in onver
sation with h Associated Press, ex-
planned why General Kuropatkin's plan
of campaign does not contemplate a
heavy resistance to the Japanese ad-
vance at the Yalu, saying:
Either defeat or victory In a battle
there would be diSadvantageous to us.
If we lost we would have to fall back
through a difficult country. IL we won
and I say to YOU that Russian STRAIT
egg is based on the idea of victory and
not of defeat-success would be fruit
less. We could not follow 1t up without
exposing the army to great risks. On
account of the Japanese control of the
sea if we pursued the enemy into the
peninsula of Korea we would open both
TANKS to a possible attack from the
rear. No, the Japanese must come on to
a point in the interior. which, with this
end in view, has been selected. where
we can follow up a crushing defeat to
the bitter end with blow after blow,
and seal the fate of the campaign.
Our plans on sea and land will con-
verge at a time next summer when
Vice Admiral Makaroff's feet will be
relieved by the arrival of reinforce
ments. Then, II successful on land, we
a clear the sea of the enemy. cut his
communications, and the japanese In
Korea and Manchuria will then be at
our mercy.
The world must not be impatient.
The prelude to this war Is not yet fin
iShed.'
It is understood here that as the re-
suit of General Kuropatkin's visit to
New Chwang reinforcements of 100, 900
men will be sent forward from Lao
1lnr.

THE WAR OUTLOOK.
Japanese Apparently Are on the Poin
of Pressing Their Way Into
M%anchuria in Force,

London, April 12.-(By Spencer WIKI
lnson.) The Japanese now appear to
hold the left bank Of the the Yalu from
It's mouth. but there Is no means of
knowing their front. Their left flank
is at Yongampo, on the estuary, and
as they hold Unsan their right flank
may be Pyokdong. sixty miles up the
stream, or-even farther. The Japanese
force apparently is composed of the
guards, the Second and Twelfth divis-
ion. Two more divisions, the First and
Third are reported to be in transports
near Yongampo. These may be in
ended to lane on either bank Of the
river, according to events and to the
nature of the operations Of the next
few days.
The Yalu at With, where the main
road crosses 1t, is 120 miles In a
straight line from Liayang. where the
Pekin road touches the railway.
The road between the two places falls
Into three unequal lengths. The first
leads to the town Of Fenghuangcheng,
'where the Russians are believed to
have q. large force, supporting their
advance parties on the Yalu. The sec
ond leads through a hilly defile, turning
drst to the n~orthwards and then west
wards to penetrate the Motienling
range. The third leads from his range
to Liaoyang.
Guess at TIE Jap Tactics.
The Russian command can hardly
intend to make a firm stand on the
Yalu, or in front of the defile and hills,
out the Japanese commander could
wish for, nothing better. He would in
that case probably cross the Yalu at
some distance above Wiju, with his
right wing as strong as possible.
The advance Of the right wing, as
Stunning to be strong enough, would
compel the Russians to retreat n
leave open the passage for the left
wing.
Much depends on the tsrength of the
Japanese force on the Yalu and its pro-
portion to the Russian forces available
in southern Manchuria, for. IL the Jap
anese general has superior numbers, he
ma aim at the railway north of Muk-
den. The distance from Broughton bay
to middle Yalu is not greater than that
from Pingyang to Win, and it Is cen
ceivable that the right wing OF the
Japanese force may be stronger than
would be inferred from the list Of div
lsions known to AVE landed in Korea
Action Due in Few Days.
Once the Japanese outposts are on
the line Of the Yalu, troops may be
moved in 8 few days from the west
coast near Anju to the Yalu above
Wiju. An attack on the Russian left.
or q movement to turn 1t probably
would compel the Russians to abandon
the coast defenses below Antung and
clear the way for q Japanese landing
there or ut Antung, which would then
become the Japanese base of supplies.

AFRICAN PIGMY AT
 DR. JNO. ". STAGGS
oTABENGA, MEMBER OF cANNl. BAL TRIBE, ACCOMPANIES DR. WERNER TO BRlMlNGHAM-lN EXHIBIT AT WORLDS FAIR.

Otabenga, a member of the Chi Chi Ri Pigmy tribe or south central Africa, spent yesterday in Birmingham. en route from Tuscaloosa to Anniston. He was In charge of Dr. s. P. Werner, quite noted anthropologist, who had charge of the pigmy exhibits at the St. Louis exposi- tion and who was formerly business manager of a mission in Africa
 Dr. Werner was visiting his friend. the Rev. Dr.. John w. Stagg, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and the pig my who accompanied the missionary, was regarded with a great deal of curiosity at Dr. Stagg's house yesterday The tribe which he represents sent nine pigmies to the exposition. and the other eight are at New Orleans awaiting the return of Dr. Werner to carry them home. After reaching the African coast they will have to travel 12O0 miles before they are a home.
 Otabenga is full grown. being some- thing over 20 years old, and he stands four feet seven inches He is a typical negro with all the features that charac- terize full booded member of the race. He is a cannibal and his teeth are filed down to points in order that he may eat raw flesh. They are also his prin- cipal fighting weapons as several lit- tie negro boys around the railroad sta- tions at Tuscaloosa and Birmingham can testify. He became worried at their cu- riosity and attacked them causing live ly stampede
 Ordinarily Otabenga is very quiet and easily managed by Dr. Werner, but if angered he fights and fights savagely He knows not the meaning of the word fear. and goes at a large man as quickly as a small person. With strangers the little cannibal is rather cross, although
