PORT ARTHUR WORRIED.
Apprehension of Host;lities Stu Ex.
 pressed,


 Port Arthur, Jan. 30-Apprehension that there will be war is stili expressed in of ficisl quarters. where 1t is reported that Japanese descent Is expected at any moment. ,
 At the same time the authorities declare that with the exception of stratcgical pre- cautions taken at the Liao-Yang and Yj.iu rivers, their plans have not been formed and that 1t will be impossible to complete the arrangements until the Japanese make more definite demonstrations of their intentions. The Notifications and field troops arc actiEe and between Liao- Yang and the Siberian border the railroad is overtaXed In transporting recruits and replacing the regiments despatched to tie Yalu River.
 In contrast with the alarm expressed in offical circles the merchants are optimls- tic. Although the shipping has been bur- dened with high insurance. tffe supply of ships. Is adequate. notwithstanding the withdrawal of the Japanese vessels. Oae of the latter, after fortnight's detention in Japan. is now on the way to Chemul- DO. Korea, and Che Foo, China. with a cargo. With three to six Japanese of British collieries arc daily unloading coal at Port Arthur The Russian commisia rat say they have found unlimited SUD- plies of hay and oats in the interior of Msnchuris. These hitherto had been greatly deficient The authorities con- tinue to charge the United States with lack of tact and courtesy and express astonishment at the appointment of Unit ed States consuls at Moukden, Port Dalny and Antung. No decision, it is said has yet been reached by the administration 1n regard to the recognition of consuls or the relations to be maintained with them.
