Rumors Of Clashes.

There are persistent rumors in Toxic
that the bombardment of Port Arthur
was resumed Tuesday, but no official
news has been received. The Russian
advance south of Possiet bay continues.
1t is reported in Wei-hai-wei on good
authority that there has been collision
between japanese and Russian troops
near Haiia, resulting in the retreat OF the
Russians.
Japanese warships bombarded the forts
at Ia lien-wan port Dalny) on the night
of March s and then attacked Port
Arthur.
No further news has reached London
of the reported fighting at Port Arthur
or the fate of the Russian Vladivostok
squadron. Up to late hour Tuesday
night the japanese legation there had
heard nothing of the reported occur
rences, but it is considered significant
that none of the Russian official dispatch
es make any mention of the Vladlvostok
cruisers.
The news from Washington of the APP
pearance OF japanese forces at Fung-
wang-chang, about forty-6ve miles north
west of Antung, in Manchuria, and Ia
shan, few miles inland from the mouth
of the Yalu river, is regarded as most i'm
portant.
The government here has received adj
vices by cable from Chefoo, opposite
Port Arthur, to the effect that japanese
land forces have appeared at Fung-wang-
chang and at Tashang. No details are
furnished. The frst-named place is
about forty-fye miles north Of Antung,
in Manchuria, and the latter is few
miles inland from the mouth of the Yalu
river. according to the calculations OF
the naval officers in Washington. They
believe that this movement has placed
the Japanese on the Russian flank, and
perhaps the rear, and on their line of COM
munication. 1t is believed that Tues
DAVIS attack upon Port Arthur and Ia
lien-wan was a diversion, perhaps to
cover this expeditions land movement o.
the Japanese forces, who were probably
landed from transports at some poln'
west of the Yalu river.
A telegram from Kharbin says the
attitude of the Chinese continues strange
and they have to be closely watched b!
the Russians. In some instances The
Chinese authorities prohibit the sale o
provisions to the Russians under th'
protext of preserving neutrality. Ih'

was Mortified to find that the ours were
feeding upon the body Of dead man.
He endeavored to drive them of, but
the dogs manifested the greatest ferocity,
refused to leave the corpse and showed
their teeth to the gentleman wheheVe,
he came close to them. Finding ne couid
do nothing alone, the gentleman sum-
moned aid and several persons who were
in the vicinity repaired to the scene. II

for n time seemed able to identify the re-
mains. which had been terribly mutilated
by the ours. The throat was eaten out,

aiming the body, which had by that
time been recognized as that of Frank
Summers. well-known Alexandrian,
he decided that an inquest was unneces.
sary, and Domaine & Son were directed
to take charge of the remains. 1t is sup
