THREE SEPARATE ARMIES.
Correspondents Discuss the Campaign
Plans of Japan.

London, March 4.-The far eastern
news published this morning, consists
chiefly of more or less reliable reports
Of Japanese military movements. The
general idea. among correspondents ap-
pears to be that no important land
battle is expected before the end of
March
A dispatch to the Daily Express from
Chemulpo dated March 2 says that 49,
600 Japanese troops have landed at
Chinampo and gone to Ping Yang.
Cabling from Hardin. Manchuria, a
gives a rumor that sixty thousand
Japanese have landed at Wonsan.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph asserts that three sep
arate Japanese armies have landed in
Korea. and the Paris edition of the
New York Herald publishes a report
from Chefoo to the effect that six Jap
anese cruisers escorting ten transports
have been seen steaming in the direc-
ton OF Gulf Laio Tung.
Nothing in any of these reports is
improbable but it is probable that the
Japanese are maintaining strict secrecy
as to their movements
Cabling from Chefoo under date of
March 8, a correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says that although Japan
has lost q small cruiser and that the
machinery of two of her warships has
been damaged, these probably have
been fully repaired, and in any event
Japan has completed command of the
sea and will effectually isolate Port
Arthur. He anticipates the early re-
newal of naval movements, the landing
of Japanese troops at the best stra-
tegic positions and the occupation of
the territory near Port Dalny as soon
as the winter moderates.
He predicts that having secured the
Yalu river the Japanese will threaten
Kirin, cutting the railroad and menac-
ing Vladivostock, while a second force
deals with the Laio Tung peninsula.
According to the correspondent of the
Morning Post at Chefoo a japanese
battleship has run aground near Chem
ulpo.
Refugees from Port Arthur the

there were 10000 troops there the mid
die of February. They report that the
10, 900 Russian troops who We're dis
patched to Korea the beginning of
February were so i'll equipped with
transport and supplies that it was
thought they would be compelled to

brutally that they fed to the seashore,

st. Petersburg, March "A resident
of St. Petersburg, who has just arrived
here from Port Arthur, having left the
day before the first Japanese attack,
