RUMoRs OF BIG LAND BATTLE
Russians Reported Repulsed On Yalu
River. With Loss Of $500.

London. Feb. 22.-The cables are
still absolutely silent with regard TO
the progress of the war. but there are
vague rumors of land fighting. As an
instance the Paris edition Of the New
York Herald's correspondent at St
Petersburg talks Of a Russian repulse
on the Yalu river. with loss Of 25OO
lives. These rumors are unconfrmed.
and from a reliable quarter the Morn

he learns that tens of thousands Of
Japanese are advancing by forced
marches from various parts Of Korea
on the Yalu, and that severe fighting
is expected shortly These are the only
references to actual operations that
have reached London
The announcement that General Ko-
DANA has been replaced in the Japa-
nese cabinet by Mr.. Koshkawa is re-
garded as meaning that General Ko-
DANA Is about 10 take command Of the
japanese land forces. KOdama. who is
Japan's leading general, did splendid
work during the Chino-Japanese war.
1t is said that Yiceroy AlexieH has
asked the ministry of marine TO send
him officers who are not too young and
admirals who are not 100 old. of whom
he already has too many. The viceroy
has issued proclamations to the Chinese
throughout Manchuria, seeking to en-
list their sympathy in behalf of Rus
sia and their assistance in maintaining
the railway intact by representing to
them Japan's alleged treacherous
methods in beginning the war.

But He Escapes.

Altoona, Pa, Feb. 22.-Two bears
driven by hunger into the city suburbs
attacked the butcher delivery wagon
OF Peter Morse, at Broad avenue and

He shouted to them. but the bears. in
stead of running, loped toward the
wagon, one on each side of the road.
Long remained on the wagon until
one of the bears made a lunge at his
horse and tore open its side with a
great fOrepaw Then he leaped from
the wagon and ran half dozen blocks
for help.
When several men reached the scene
Of the encounter with guns they found

Russia Accepts Hays Suggestion.

Washington. Feb 22.-"Russia glad
ly and willingly favored the suggestion
Of Secretary Hay that as far as pos
sible the beligerents in the Far East
localize hostilities and respect the neu-
trality of China in the interest OF a
continuance of the peaceful intercourse
of the rest of the world. My govern
ment expressed the conviction that Mr..
Hays suggestion was prompted by mo-
tives of the highest humanity and was
mutually advantageous to the bellig-
erents."
This statement was made by Count
Cassini. the Russian ambassador. The
ambassador spoke in general on the
Far Eastern situation. Although the
negotiations on the neutrality PROPOSE
ton have been carried on almost en-
tirely between the several foreign gov
ernments addressed and the American
ENJOYS accredited to them, the weight
of the word of the Russian ambassador
at Washington in the counsels of his
majesty was strongly influential in the
shaping Of Russia's reply.
