Recent War Reports as Fiction
Pure and Simple.

Lao Yang, March 24-It is positive
ly reported that the Japanese propose
to land troops at Gatsia, north OF
Shan Mai Kwan. A detachment OF
General Mishtchenko's troops will re.

ST. Petersburg, March 24-Major
General Plug telegraphs from Mukden
under today's date as follows: There
is absolutely no truth in the report
published in England to the effect that

while the statement that the way to
Motieff Pass, where strong Russian
detachment is alleged to be stationed,
is open to the Japanese, is also pure
invention. To the same category be-
longs the reports published in the Lon
don newspapers from Japanese sour
ces of an engagement alleged to have
taken place at Port Arthur March 19,
and an encounter on the Yalu River
in which the Russians were reported
to have.lost 600 men, killed and wound
