London.-A series Of messages dated
between March 10 and March II, sent
by a correspondent OF the Daily Mail
at Chinampo, Korea, describes the
perfect organization and arrangements
OF the Japanese in Korea.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for landing troops and advancing
them through the country, and pom
toon bridges and stables are built
wherever they are found to be neces'
sary.
| The greatest difficulty facing the
| Japanese Is the commissiariat, as ow-
ing to the poor food supplies of Korea,
/ II is only possible at present to main
tain 10000 men.
The Japanese hold two enormously
strong positions-at Pingyang and on
the Miokaksan range, between Hwang-
ju and Seoul. The latter, the CORE
spondent says, Is probably impregna'
ble and secures Seoul from land at
| tacks from the northwest.
In the event of defeat it is intend
ed to hold the passes at Kazan, thus
protecting the Pingyang valley.
The Japanese troops are suffering
from dysentery and pneumonia, and
many of the cavalry horses-which,
the correspondent says, are poor-have
died; but the army is full Of spirit.
There are probably 10000 Japanese
at Pingyang, which the correspondent
points out might easily have been
taken when the Russian scouts first
arrived, there then being only $50 Jap
anese soldiers there.
The Russians intended to make An
| ju their base, but owing to the delay
in the arrival of reinforcements they
feared being cut Off and so retired.
Meanwhile the Japanese advanced to
Pingyang by forced marches, the
troops being almost without equip
ment.
| According to this correspondent the
Russians are preparing to prevent the
Japanese landing at Pakchon, 20 miles
west of Anju, and he says the Japanese
sailors admit that Port Arthur is so
protected by mines and torpedoes that
1t would mean death to approach 1t.

Newchwang.-Ap informal meeting
of the foreign consuls stationed here
has been called for the purpose of dis
cussing means for securing the protec-
ton OF the property of neutrals in
view of the fact that Newchwang Is
now surrounded by large Russian
forces, having breastworks and bat
teries established at the railway sta
ton on the east side Of the Lao river
and also at the fort on the west side.
This situation exposes the treaty
port to the danger of cannonade,
should the Japanese come.
On account OF the fear that the Unit
ed States gunboat Helena will be with
drawn, American residents here have
telegraphed to United States Minister
Conger at Pekin requesting the pres
ence Of an American man-of-war In
constant communication during the
continuance Of the war for the purpose
of especially protecting property dur
ing the disorder that 1t is expected Will
attend the interregnum between Rus
sian and Japanese occupations.

The following eloquent and poetic
description Of the beauties Of the
coming Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Is from the pen of Mr.. IL. II. Mu-
chall, an official Of the Missouri
Pacific Railway, at st. Louis:
Where wilderness of forest trees

their whispering branches to the

flowers OF gentle breath and hue"
bloomed In bewildering profusion;
where the pretty squirrel disported
