Cars Manchurian Army Completely
Surrounded by JapS.
WAR WITH ENGLAND IS PREDICTED
Russian Noble Says That war with England
is Imminent and Russia will Strike
First Blow at India.

Japan really can have executed
such a sudden, unexpected, and
successful turning of the Rus
sian position on the Yalu river,
which is thought would have
necessitated the employment of
much larger force than it is
believed Japan can possibly
have at this point.
The Daily Telegraph, COM
menting on these reports, says
that if the news of this strange
and marvellous collapse of Rus
sian power on land is true,
there is nothing to prevent the
Japanese from Selling Mukden
and the railroad. There has
been nothing to compare with
this move, the paper continues,
since Napoleon staggered Eu-
rope by appearing in the plains
of Italy, having descended from
the Alps as from the clouds. It's
effect throughout the east will
be stupendous.
| Rumors of medi alton in the
far east continue to circulate on
the continent, but evidently the
British government has mo idea
that mediation is possible.
Foreign Secretary Landsdowne
replying to a letter on this sub
iect from the Arbitration and
Peace association, which sug-
gested mediation under the
Hague convention, said his
majesty's government feared
that such an offer could not
usefully be made to the bellig-
erents at the present time.
| WASHINGTON HEARS.
Washington, March 10.-The
government here has received
advices by cable from Chefoo,
opposite Port Arthur, to the
effect that Japanese land forces
have appeared at Fung-wang-
chang and at Tashang. No de-
tails are furnished. The first
named place is about forty five
miles north of Antung, IN Man
churia.
| They believe that this move
has placed the Japanese on the
Russian flank, and perhaps the
rear, and on their line of COM
munication.
WAR WITH ENGLAND.
Berlin, March 10.-The Tage-

a conviction prevailing in Rus

war with England will be the
inevitable outcome of the pres

here that active preparations
are being made for the defense
of Baltic Sea coast points. The

Lon don, March 10.-Accord-
