ST. Petersburg People at the Highest
Pitch of Excitement.

Pitch of Excitement.
st. Petersburg. Feb. 12.-Another pa
triotic demonstration occurred here
this afternoon. An enormous process
sion, headed by chOiristers OF the va
riOuS churches, marched through the
city. The demonstrators raised TO
their shoulders and cheered all the mil
itary officers they met on the streets.
Masisng in front of the winter palace,
the crowd sang the national anthem.
They all uncovered, in spite of the fact
that snow was falling. The car aD-
peared at q window of the palace and
was given a tremendous ovation.
After leaving the palace they halted
ia front of the French embassy, and
the ambassador, N. Bompard, and his
wife and the members of the embassy
staff appeared for a few moments on
the balcony ard acknowledged the
cheering.
The "Geisha." a comedy which has
been running here, has been Withdrawn
on account of the hostile demOnstra-
lions with which each performance was
greeted.
Popular demonstrations follow each
other almost continuously here and
in all cities throughout the empire.
Harrahs for the car and the national
HYMN were heard q dozen times today
on the Nevsky Prospect. The demOn-
stratiou at the winter palace this aft
ernOon was most remarkable patriot
ism attained fever heat tonight. when
several thousand persons, almost eX-
ClusiVely WOrkingmen, marched behind
six big flags from the Anitchkon pal
ace. where the empress dOwager lives.
to the Kazan cathedral, hurrahing and
throwing their hats and caps UP all the
way. The streets Of the city are
blocked by spectators, who. with barred
heads. and many with tears in their
ewes. listened TO the SINGING.

BUT TWO BATTLES.
Flood Of Conflicting Dispatches From
China Misleading.


China Misleading.
New York. Feb. IA careful study
of the reports that have reached
America and Europe from the east in
Guiding press dispatches and communi-
cations through official channels, would
indicate that but two conflicts Of any
moment have so far occurred. These
are the japanese naval attack on Port
Arthur on Monday night and Tuesday
morning, and the affair al ChemulpO,
on Monday and Tuesday. In circles
whose knowledge of conditions in that
part of the world allows them to speak
with accuracy the various reports of
minor engagements are considered but
echoes of these two fights. Gable and
Telegraph facilities are limited and IL
rs evident that as reports of the Port
Arthur aud ChemulpO affairs reach
various points they are promptly eabled
.by resident correspondents, resulting
1n a natural confusion OF dates. The
circumstantial report Of another en-
gagement, sent by the Reuter- Tele-
gram company. from Toxic, under date
cot February 10th, published in this
NcOuntry yesterday afternoon, also un-
dOubtedly referred to the original Port
Arthur attack, the news Of which had
just. reached Toxic
port that no official confirmation has
been received Of subsequent engage
ments. and it IS pointed out that such
official advices were received through
the various embassies at Washington
promptly on the heels of the press re-
ports Of the events OF Monday and
Tuesday The food of conflicting dis
patches from various North China
points during the Boxer revolution Is
recalled. For this reason the report
"a bled by the Tien Tsin correspondent
Of the London Standard that a Rus
sian fleet had bOmbarded Hakodate is
entirely disregarded.
Naval men in this city say that so
far as is known the only Russian yes
sells IN position to make move are
r hose at NIadvost0ck, and that II can
J1ot for a moment be thought that they
would be Withdrawn from the defense
Of this depot even if they are free Of
lac ice and not blocked up by Jap
7Dese squadron as has been reported
I'm view Of the fact that there Is no
cable communication between Japan
and China except by way Of Shanghai
IL is 10 say the least Important that
such important news would be first
heard In the inland town Of TieR Tsin-
The official notice sent out last night
rom ST. Petersburg that the cable from
Niadiv0stOck 10 Nagasaki. the teic-
graph line from Seoul 10 Masampho
and the telegraph line from Seoul to

ton 10 japan To the cables that land

TWO LINES OF DEFENSE.
Japanese Army in Korea Prepared
For the Russians.

New York, Feb. 12.-The japanese
troops landed at Gensan are inteded
to operate with the troops that have
now been successfully landed at Ping
Yang. on the opposite side of the Ko-
rean peninsula, says a World dispatch
from Kobe. Japan. These two forces
constitute Japan's second line of de-
Tense against the Russians. VINO are
marching over the Yalu into Korea.
A first line Of defense has been ar
ranged. It IS composed Of picked
troops, who are lined up along the
south bank of the Yaiu. It is, however,
considered most unlikely that this
army viii reach its destination in time
TO intercept the invading Russians
The second line may fail 10 hold the
invaders, In which case 1t is expected
that a land battle would take place not
far from Seoul
IN any case, the japanese prepara-
lions are made with q view OF closing
in on any body of Russian troops that
succeeds in forcing its way into the
interior of Korea.
Mobilization OF the army has been
effected without hitch. The transpeF-
tation Of soldiers and supplies by
means Of the railway from the in
terror TO the coast proceed with great

REPORT DIsCREDITED.
Japs Have Not Attempted to Take
Port Arthur

London, Feb. 12.-There is a marked
Iuli in war news. No confirmation has
been received here of the reported at
tempts of the japanese to land troops
near Port Arthur. Captain Tamari,
the Japanese naval attache, discredits
these rumors. He said: ''rhe Japan
csc viii never attempt to take Port Ar
thur from the sea alone"
The captain attaches the greatest
importance to the seizure of Mesam-
pho. Korea, as giving Japan command
of the straits of Korea and preventing
a junction Of the Russian squadrOns.
He thinks, from the plans previously
arranged, that the main Japanese
squadron is still 1 nuthe vicinity OF
Port Arthur, probably preparing for
another attack.
