Rumors Of Fighting on the Yalu-
Japs Trying Flank Move.

London, April 2a.-Rumors of
fighting on the Yalu river are re-
peated in various forms and from
various points. The Shanghai cor
respondent of thepost says he heard
that the first Japanese army had
crossed the Yalu almost without OPP
position and the Chronicles CORE
spondent at Seoul, says that heavy
fighting has occurred, but that for
Strategic reasons it is impossible to
send particulars.
No authentic news, however, has
reached London showing that any
thing has happened beyond skirm-
ishing.
According TO the Telegraph S
correspondent at 81 Petersburg
the Russian stratesists are reIuct-
antly arriving at the conclusion
that General Kuroki is engaged in
the dangerous plan Of advancing
along the middle reaches of the
Yalu river via Kangge, and de-
spite enormous difficulties, is NOV
his army over the mountain passes,
his purposes being TO outhank the
Russian position on the right Of
the Yalu.
