June 2, according to hinese who have
arrived here from Dalny.
Z The Japanese are reinforced by those
men who landed at Dalny and occupied
living Ching and also Sanchimpo, sew
eral miles west Of Dalny. They then
proceeded along the coast toward Port
Arthur. On one side of the army are
high mountains and on the other side
is the sea, from which the Japanese
gunboats are supporting the flank of
the army.
On June 2 the Japanese forces were
within five miles of the outer forts of
Port Arthur, only two miles from the
Russians, which is ready to protest
their further advance. 1t is believed
there will be big battle at this point.
1t is also stated by the Chinese that
the Japanese have moved their base
from Dalny to Talienwan. The larger
Japanese ships are anchored outside

Troops are being landed they say
from small vessels, apparently coming
