THE presence of our patrols near
Ping Yang caused great alarm, and
soon the enemys sharpshooters manned
the wall and towers and opened fire,
expecting an attack. According to the
report, our patrols approached within
700 PAGES of the town, which they
found to be surrounded by old and new
ramparts. These, however, were not

JAPANESE MOVING
TOWARD VLADIV0ST0K.

st. Petersburg, March "A dispatch
from vladivostok. dated to-day, says
that according to private reports there.
three Japanese detachments, of 800
men each, recently landed at Chung
Chan, Korea, about 1870 miles north Of
won-San, with the supposed object of
reaching the valley of the Tumen river
and threatening Hun-Chun, Manchu-
ria, nine miles north of the Korean
boundary and about eight miles west
of Vladivostok.
A feet of ten Japanese warships
was recently sighted on the horizon,
off Vladivostok. They were believed to
be reserve vessels, not powerful
enough to blockade Yladivostok or en-
danger the Russia first class cruisers
whose base is that port.

INVESTMENT DELAYED.
japanese Leave Port Arthur for
Pressing Work Elsewhere.

Washington, March 1.-THE landing
in force of the japanese on the Liza
Tung peninsula and the land invest
ment of Port Arthur will not begin for
a fortnight, according to advices re-
ceived here from what are believed to
be reliable sources.
1t was expected that the attack
upon the fortress would take place
yesterday or to-day, but these later
advices, without explaining the reason
for the delay, show that there has
been a change in the original plans.
Army officers here think that the ia
panese have decided that with the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
the outside world cut, thus preventing
supplies from reaching 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.
