Paris, Feb. 17.-An official dispatch
received here from Toxic, announces
that one of the most important move
ments of Japanese troops yet made Is
occurring today. One OF the main
branches OF the army, consisting Of
three divisions and including divi-
sion OF guards, Is now going on board
transports. The previous landings Of
Japanese forces In Korea and else
where are said to have been small COM
pared with this simultaneous sailing

imately an army OF 10000 to $1,000 men,
The japanese authorities, II Is added

Ing the embarkation and the destina-
ton OF this army. 1t Is believed, but
this Ia not sure, that the destination OF
this force is point near the mouth OF
the Yalu river, spot on the Lao Tung
peninsula thanking Port Arthur.
Another official dispatch says a Jap
anese transport has been sighted off n
town south OF the Yalu river Ii Is
added that this Is not connected with
the three divisions referred to these dis
patches today, but Is considered to be
continuation Of the reports that the
town off which the transport was seen
Is to be one OF the bases OF the land
