Pelletan has written to Deputy de
fOncle (Rep), representing French
Cochin China, denying the reported
shortage of ccal for the French fleets,
and adding that measures had been

pare for all eventualities growing out

portant movements of Japanese troops
yet made was occurring to-day. One
of the main branches of the army con-
sisting of three divisions and including
a division of guards, was going on
board transports. The previous land
ings of japanese forces in Korea and
elsewhere are said to have been small
compared with this simultaneous sail
ing of three divisions. aggregating ap-
proximately an army of 10000 to 50,-
600 men. The Japanese authorities, it
is added, have taken every precaution
to prevent information going out con-
cerning the embarkation and the des-
tination of this army. 1t is believed
that the destination of this force is a
point near the mouth of the Yalu
Rivera spot on the Liaotung PENN
sula, fianking Port Arthur
Another official dispatch says a Jap
anese transport has been sighted off a
town south of the Yalu River. 1t is
added that it is not connected with
the embarkation of the three divisions
referred to, but is considered to be a
confirmation of the reports that the
town off which the transport was seen
is to be one of the bases of the land
operations of the Japanese.
TOXIC, Feb. 17.-Eight transports
with Japanese troops from Nagasaki
and several additional vessels carrying
war munitions are on their way to
the west coast of Korea. Detachments
of Japanese cavalry have already land

his complaint that she had habit of

after their marriage she went to visit
a friend and did not come home un-
til 1890 o'clock. The next time she
stayed out until 1880 o'clock and on

tour, she did not show up until $3.50
