Doubt Reported Attack.


ment has no information concerning
the reported Japanese attack on Port
Arthur March 30-31, and the officials
doubt that general attack occurred.
1t was added that it was possible that
a few Japanese cruisers are in the
vicinity of Port Arthur, and that there
may have been an exchange of shots
with the Russians, but it is certain
that the main japanese fleet was not
engaged at the time referred to.
Russians Driven Back.
London, April 4. - If reports which
came from Tokio Friday night are cor
rect the Japanese army last Tuesday
was only Is miles from Wiju. A tele-
gram from Toxic says: Information
has been received here from private
source that the Japanese troops, afte"
dislodging the Russians at Chengju.
about fifty miles northwest of Ping
yang, on March %, rested for one day
and then advanced to Yongchun, about
forty-five miles west of Chengju. After
a brief engagement here they drove the
enemy farther north, the Russians re-
treating toward Unsan, town 80
miles northeast of Yongchun."
Yongchun is within 20 miles of Wiju,
the base of the Russian army of the
Yalu, and the point at which the first
severe land engagement must be
fought for the control of the mouth OF
the river and the capture of Antung.
The japanese front, from unofficial re-
ports, extends from Kasan, on the
coast west of Anju, in a semicircle 10
Pakchung and Unsan. Military ex
perts here do not look for an immedi
ate frontal attack on Wiju, although
they admit that such an attack is with
in the possibilities. They believe, how
ever, that the mikados generals will
attempt to turn the Russian flank by
forcing a passage of the Yalu north
west from Unsan.
