Patton has notified him that no minors

GETTING CLOSE INTO CONTACT

Preliminary Skirmishfng Seems to Have
Begun Between the Outposts.
ST, Petersburg, March %. = That
fighting in the zone of the land forces
has at last been reached is shown by
a skirmish, insignificant in itself. which
General Mishtchenko has reported. The
engagement. in which two platoons of
Russians and a CosSack sOtnia and the
advance guard of the Japanese par
ticipated, occurred March %, near PAX
Chieng, and resulted in the retirement
of the Russians without loss, after
killing one japanese officer and One
private.
The enemy's forces continue to adj
vance along the route of the projected
railroad near the western coast Of
Korea. which should bring them to
the Yalu at VIII and across the riv-
err Near there lies Antung, and the
route of the railroad connecting with
Lao Yang. where the Russian head
quarters have been established. By
following this route the Japanese have
made the transportation question easier
of solution.
From now until the Yalu is reached
it is expected that there will be
constant succession of skirmishes, but
fighting by large forces, it is reiterated,
will not occur until the japanese have
rea ched the river.
uaKAROEE TAKES FLEET To SEA
Report of a Capture.
ST. Petersburg. March 2S.-For the
first time since the war commenced
the Russian squadron Saturday left
Port Arthur and the protection Of its
guns. Upon the safe return of the
ships Vice Admiral Makaroff sent a
dispatch to the. emperor in explaEa-
ton of the reason for the cruise. Vice
Admiral Makaroff having repaired the
warship Ratvizan and the cruisers
Pallada and Boyarin, considered the
squadron sufficiently strong to run the
risk of an encounter with the Jap
anese ships. which were not in sight
when he steamed out of Port Arthur.
The object of Vice Admiral Makar-
off was to examine several neighbOr-
ing islands to ascertain where the Jap
anese fleet maintained its base. This
was not accomplished, apparently.
1t is stated on apparently reliable
authority. however, that Vice Admiral
Makaroff's report of his reconnaissance
contained the startling statement that
he captured a junk filled with Chi
nese regular troops which was being
flowed by japanese grInboat.

Conditions in this city and nearby
towns along the Grand river are very
grave as result of the unprecedented
flood that has swollen the stream far
out Of its banks for the past three
days. The river is three feet above
the previous high water record, that
of 1914. 1t is falling slightly, how
ever, the drop in temperature having
checked the small streams and surface
drainage. The Inhabitants of flooded
houses are suffering greatly from cold
and lack of food. There has been
no loss of life thus far, but there Is
great suffering, and a vast amount of
sickness will, it is feared, follow the
exposure sustained by many of the
flood victims.
