tween Korea and northern China with foreign steamers. The first steamers have arrived from Chemulpo and from passengers it was learned that a con- tingent of Japan's first army corps landed in Korea on March 30. The ar my corps consists of 5o,OOO men, includ- ing coolie carriers.
 Japan has made Aniu it's frontal base and has bridged the Chang Chung and Pax Chung rivers and is ready to advance by three roads to the Yalu river. It will possibly be a month, however, before a big battle will be fought, as artillery moves slowly on account of poor horses and bad man. agement of the horses. Otherwise the organization of the Japanese forces is almost perfect.
 An immense quantity of supplies IS going forward by coolie carriers. It was also learned from passengers that work has been resumed at the Ameri- can mines at Unsan.

AN AMERICAN WAR EXPERT.

Victoria, E. C., April AR. l.. Mae Gowan, an American business man who has spent many years among the Russians. both in Europe and Asia, ar rived by the steamer Agamemnon from Yokohama He says that nothing but a miracle can save Russia from humiliation and disastrous defeat at the hands of the Japanese. Russia S army, navy and civil services are honeycombed with corruption and mu- tiny to an extent utterly beyond be- lief. The trans-Siberian railway is a complete failure. The Japanese know to a nicety Russia's strength in east Asia and count upon six years of war. They know that the Russians have no supplies and cannot get any except by driblets from Europe

HARNESSES STRENGTH.

Shanghai, April A letter from Kobe, Japan, says the Japanese gov ernment has 26,OOO troops in motion and fully e0,CoO additional men under arms in garrisons and depots. This is exclusive of the third army reserves, numbering 20,000.-n yet called out. The entire first army corps is landed and esta ablished in northwestern Korea with Chnampho the main base. The general staff carefully guards the plan of campaign and it is generally be- lieved it will operate three armies Of 10o,coO each, the second landing west of the Yalu and the third east Of New Chwang.
 The Japanese government is confi- dent that the Russians will be unable to transport sufficient supplies to maintain in Manchuria a force larger than 3OO.O0O heavy detachments of whom will be necessary to guard the railway and bases of supply. reducing the fighting forces to the neighborhood of 100000 Japan has been requisition- ing thousands of horses. The cavalry seems inferior.
 Much of the Japanese artillery is de- parting to the front. It seems light, but it is believed that they have a number of heavy batteries of equal range with the best of modern field artillery. Japan also possesses a large number of mountain batteries, which in the rough country gives them dis tinct advantage over the Russians in this respect.
 A general thaw in Korea and man. churia renders the roads impossible so it will be impossible to conduct active operations until the ground hardens.
