feeling Of apprehension in North
China. The authorities here are of
the opinion that the Japanese sue
cesses will cause an outbreak in Man;
churia and the destruction of the
Trans-Siberian railroad, rendering the
continued neutrality of China impos-
sible.
Heavy reinforcements of Chinese

here that the mikado is irritated by

Expect Japanese Visit.
Yingtse, Manchuria, March 5.-The
Russo-Japanese bank is closing pre-
paratory to moving to Mukden.
Women and children are preparing to
leave Yingtse in anticipation of the
arrival of the Japanese feet, which is

shifting of troops and artillery to the
small forts at the mouth of the Lao
river has the appearance of an inten-
ton to defend Yingtse and Neu-
chwang, the military depends on an
inland engagement to put stop to
the Japanese advance.
Russian Plans.
AS far as known the only plans de-
cided on are: Gen. Kuropatkin's
headquarters are to be at Mukden;
Viceroy Alexieff purposes to remain
at Mulxden indefinitely, as Mukden is
the center of the Chinese administra-
ton and has a viceroyal bureau; the
almost impossible of defense. will be
held if possible on account of the
railroad connecting with Port Arthur;
Haicheg and Liaoyang are the ex-
IRENE limits to which troops will be
withdrawn on account of the exposure
of the railroads at these points. That
the Japanese will arrive before thaw
permits the construction of defenses
is thought to be certain. 1t would ap-
pear also that the authorities expect
Port Arthur to be besieged.
