THE NEWS CONFIRMED.

Washington, May 6.-The State de-
partment has received cablegram
from United States Minister Griscom,
at Toxic, confirming the press reports
of the landing of the japanese in the
Liao Tung Peninsula, about forty
miles above Port Arthur. The loca-
tion given in the japanese dispatch
is Kin Ca. This is the narrowest
point on the peninsula, and conse
gently, the minister says, the railroad
is practically closed and the invest
ment of Port Arthur has begun.
The Japanese legation has received
the following cablegram from Toxic
under date of today:
"Gen. Kuroki, commandant OF the
lst army corps, reports that on May 8
our mounted scouts, after q severe

A landing at this moment would
make it difficult for Gen. Kuropatkin
to concentrate a formidable force
against Gen. Kuroski, whose forward
movement is not yet reported. Fur.
thermore, once the Japanese are across
the railroad, Port Arthur will be as
good as besieged.
A member of the general stat says
that Kuropatkin is we'll aware Of these
considerations. Even if the japanese
should succeed in taking the railroad,
Port Arthur ia now ready to depend
on its own resources.
Dispatches from Toxic telling Of
celebrations over the sealing of Port
Arthur, it is stated, are premature,
official advices establishing beyond
question that the attempt of Vice
Admiral Togo On May to seal the
port failed.
The absence of press dispatches tell
ing of the fight on the Yalu, is par
italy explained by the heavy mortal
ity among the correspondents. Three
of the Novosti's correspondents are
missing, and it is believed that they,
were killed, while the Russ lost one
of it's correspondents. The other
journals are wiring to ascertain il
their representatives are alive.
Pitsewo is situated on the east coast
of the Liao-Tung Peninsula. and
about Is miles northeast of Port Ar.
thur. It is near the narrowest part Of
the peninsula, along which passes the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
Mukden and Harbin. Kin-Chou Bay,
where japanese transports are also
reported to have been sighted, is on
the west coast Of Liao-Tung PENN
sula, and not far from Pitsewo.

the Immediate vicinity of Port Arthur

lying at Pitsewo, northeast of that
stronghold, Russia has braced herself
for impending conflicts with the foe.
in which she will again play defen-
sive role, this time, it is hoped, with
better success, and, therefore, with
less sacrifice of life than in the en-
gagements on the Yalu.
The war commission sat until 2
o'clock this morning, and at the close
of the session, it was announced that
there was nothing to communicate to
the public. It is known, however,
that the Emperor has been informed
of the presence of Japanese fleet of
the Llao Shan Promontory and the ap-
pearance of transports at Pitsewo.
The fact that these events occurred
simultaneously may have significance.
If landing should take place at
Pitsewo, it is anticipated that Togo's
battleship squadron will lombard
Port Arthur in order to prevent the
garrison from sending reinforcements
by railroad to the troops opposing the
japanese there. Neither the admiral
ty nor the war Office believes that a
disem barkation Of the japanese can
be prevented, as the guns of the Japa-
nese crnisers could command the point
of landing, but after the japanese are
