Japan's Plan for Landing.

London. Feb 27.-The Shanghai correspond
eut Of The Daily Telegraph" has sent inter
esting news OF Japan's military operations. He
asserts that Port Dalny Is being evacuated by
the Russians. who boast that they have mined
the breakwater. wharves and railroad sidings

making use OF these facilities.
This correspondent repeats that the Russians
have only supplies for FIVE months at Port

transports have returned to Nagasaki where
they are busny engaged in embarkng more
troops to be taken to the vicinity OF Port Dalny.

voted to facilitate japanese debarkation on the
Liao-Tung Gulf or elsewhere
The reported landing OF japanese at Possiet

frIned. This movement. however. is considered
not improbable.
Ofhcial Russian and other dispatches show
that there has been succession of attacks or
demonstrations by the japanese at Port Arthur.

ering or preparing for japanese landing else
where. and possibly with the hope of INJECTING
further damage On the Russian warships and
increasing the decentralization of the Russian
forces. It would seem apparent that little dam
