LAND INVESTMENT OF PORT Ar
THUR WILL NOT BEGIN FOR
ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
SUPPLIES TO Be AT ONCE CUT OFF
FORTNiCliT'S PRlVATfONS WILL
REEcER FINAL ASSAULT
MUCH EASIER.

Washington, March 3.-The landing
In force of the Japanese on the Lao
tung peninsula and the beginning OF
the land investment of Port Arthur
will not begin for a fortnight, accord
ing to advices received here from what
are believed to be reliable sources.
1t was expected that the attack upon
the fortress would take place at once,
but these later adyices, without ex-
planning the reason for the delay,
show that there has been a change in
the original plans. Army officers here
think that the Japanese have decided
that with the railroad connecting Port
Arthur with the outside world cut
thus preventing supplies from reach
ing the place, two weeks privation
will render the final assault easier.
Moreover, as Port Arthur can be
safely left as it is for the time being
the Japanese troops may be employed
instead in Northern Korea and near
the Yalu river, where they are now
most needed.

PANAMA CANAL TITLE
UNITED STATES WILL BE IN POS
SESSION OF THE PROPERTY
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS.

Washington, March "a conclusion
Of the negotiations for the title TO the
Panama canal property is in sight.
Within thirty days, perhaps in short.
er time, the United States will be in
full possession of the property and
the money consideration viii have
been paid to both the republic, of Pan
anna and to the new Panama Canal
company.
Attorney General Knox has, a con-
ference during the day with the presi
dent at which the whole subject, SO
far as the legal phases Of il are con
cerned was considered and decided
At the conclusion of the conference
the attorney general authorized the
following statement:
Il have advised the president that
he is authorized TO pay al once to
the republic of Panama the $4,000, 900
stipulated for by the treaty, the rat
ifications of which have just been
changed. Also that he is authorized
to pay the new Panama Canal company
the $40 100000 which, under the agree
ment between the United States an0
that company we are TO pay for its
property, and have notified the canal
company we are ready to close the
transaction.
The details in connection with the
transfer of the canal company's prop
ery should not require more than
thirty days
Ii appears that, after thorough con-
sderation of the entire subject, At
torney General Knox is satisfied per
fectly with the title which the canal
company is able to pass to the United
States. In his opinion IL will not be
necessary to pursue the investigation
further. Mr.. Knox declines to discuss
the pending litigation in the French
courts but the inference from his au
thoriZed statement is plain that he
does not regard ii as a serious menace
to the validity of the title to the prop
erty which the company will pass to
the United States.

JAPANESE ADVANCE BEGINS.
Immense Army Moving Towards the
YaIu River.

Toxic, March 3.-The general stan
has taken to the field and Japan is
ready to strike The advance of the
Japanese Is expected TO begin almost
Immediately.
All Japanese troops at Chemulpo
and Seoul left for the front Sunday.
This means that an immense army
has marched northward toward Ping
yang.
Now that the Japanese advance ac-
tually has begun it is no secret that
for two weeks transports have been
landing troops in large numbers at
Hwangju, 100 miles up the Korean
coast, above Chemulpo.
Hwangju is only thirty miles from
Pingyang and 100 miles from Wiju.
Pingyang is easily reached through
level country.
1t is believed that a strong Jap
anese force also has been landed at
kasan, half way between Chinnampo
and Wiju.
Japan has 10000 troops north of
Seoul, facing the Yalu. The Russians
are in force on the north bank of that
river and cavalry scouts are working
south OF 1t.
II is believed that the Japanese
army's first move will be to drive the
Russians back from the Yalu.
Reports issued from the Japanese
war Office state that the Russian cav
airy has been defeated near Anju and
Pingyang and that consequently resi-.
dents of that part of Korea are work
Ing as usual
BY agreement with the emperor of
Korea Japan will build a military
road from Seoul to Wiju. Engineers
and surveyors are already mapping
the route
