Baron Hayashi Reviews Campaign From
Japanese Standpoint.

LONDON, May 2.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister here, said today:
The immediate result of Gen. Kurokis
Feng Huan Cheng, which the Chinese
had fortified with their brick structures.
Since the commencement of the war the
Russians doubtless have added earth
works but their loss of guns yesterday
must seriously diminish their defensive
strength.
The duration of the war must lie
rather with Russia than with Japan.
For the moment the military advantage
Is with us, for Kuropatkin has extended
his front and we can strike where and
when we will. Our aggressive move
ment may be carried on to Mukden per-
haps to Hardin, and perhaps even
further, but before long there
must come a stage of the campaign
when Russia will assume the role of the
invading power and when we must act
solely on the defensive. From the be-
ginning it has been so, and OUT agrees
sion is and has been but means toward
the eventual repulsion Of an invading
army
Kuropatkin says he will not undertake
to drive US back until he has $780, 900 men
ready to take the field. 1 think what
that force will die from sickness SO that
to keep his force at the maximum re-
CURED Kuropatkin will always have to
be transporting 10 600 men from ST. Pc
tersburg-no small task.
This years harvest in Manchuria,
learn, promises to be bad. A million Rus
slams there in addition to the army, must
be fed. We have or shall have closed
every source of food supply except by the
Siberian railroad Even with double
tracks and no men or munitions of war
to transport, the problem of feeding the
Russian population. and army now in
Manchuria would be in itself intensely
serious, but with single track road,
which is Russia's only vital sinew, it
seems almost impossible, and famine ap-
pears inevitable With this dreadful ac-
compartment of war, there is only too
likely to be rising among the Man
churians. They may attack the Rus
SLAMS or they may attack u.s. Either case
is bad enough to contemplate.
Referring to the long period which
elapsed between the declaration of war
and the land fighting, Minister Haya-
shi said:
That waiting which taxed the patience
of the rest of the world has been a
busy and exciting time for us. Our troops
have been continually marching and
working in anticipation Of striking the
blow which would initiate the campaign

MUSCOVITES GIVE
VERSION OF FIGHTING
Issue Turns on Whether Order to
Withdraw Was Given in Time.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 2.-The
general staff gives an outline of the
operations on the Yalu river during
the past week. The Russian force, in
Guiding the reserves, was composed of
Gen. Kashtalinsky's rifle division, Gen.
Mistchenko's Cossack outposts and a
brigade of artillery, the whole under
Gen. Sassulitch. knowledge of geogra-
ply is essential to a clear understand

Cheng lies the village of Potietinsky,
near a tributary of the Litzavena, five
miles up which is Chin Cow. On the
opposite bank of the tributary is the
village of Litzavena. Opposite Po-
tietinsky stands Housan, with a domi-
mating height. Still higher, on the
right of the Yalu, is the village of

Gensan, both sides losing heavily. Two
Russian officers are said to have been
among the wounded.
The Standards Tien-tsin correspond
ent, cabling under date of May 2, states
that Viceroy Alexieff mas sent dis
patch to Gen. Ma, commanding the Chi
nese troops, informing him that the
occasion may arise for Russia to in
crease her forces in Sin Min Tung,
Chen Yang and other. places, and re-
questing him to withdraw the Chinese
military and police. An answer, the
correspondent says, is required within
three days.
AS an incident of Gen, Kurkopatkins
anxiety as to the whereabouts of the
Japanese second army, the POSTS
Shanghai correspondent says that all
the Russian troops stationed in Chang
Chu, Flu Chau, Hal Cheng, Kai Ping
and other places have been dispatched
along the sea coast to ward off a Jap
anese landing.
According to the Shan Hal Kwan
correspondent of the Telegraph, evil
dence is accommodating that China's
neutrality is tottering.
EASILY PLEASED.
PARIS, May 2.-The. st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Echo de Paris says
that a high officer of the general staff
Gen. Kmopatkin has telegraphed
the emperor expressing satisfaction
that the Japanese have crossed the
Yalu, because this lengthens their line
of operations, whereas the Russians are
approaching their base. Gen. Kuro-
patkin will probably allow Gen. Kuro-
kits twenty thousand men to advance
and attempt the siege of Port Arthur,
but Gems. Smyrnoff and Stoeffel are
disposing of the $4,000 men under their
command so as not to allow the Jap
aneSe to reach that place.
TT is supposed that a battle for the
defense of the entrance to the Kwan
Tung peninsula is imminent. Gen. Ku-
ropatkin can send troops to Yinkow or
Port Arthur within twenty-four hours
if he thinks it desirable to attack the
Japanese in the rear. The fighting so
far has consisted of mere skirmishes,
and there have been no serious battles
We are convinced that the Japanese
will do their utmost to Immediately
make things warm, but Gen. Kuropat-
kin will not assume the offensive be-
! fore the end of May or the middle OF
June, when he will have the 100000
men he asked for"

WHAT JAPs MAY DO NEXT.
LONDON, May 3.-The latest dis
patches received here confirming the
completeness of the Japanese victory
on the Yalu could hardly have given
greater satisfaction in Tokyo than they
have done in London. The editorials
in the morning papers ring with adj
miration at the success of Gen. kuro-
kiS strategy in a manner indicating
that Great Britain has been in conSid-
cradle doubt of the capacity of her
ally'S troops when matched against the
Russians; and despite the lack by
Japan of good cavalry to follow up her
victory, it is believed that she will
speedily drive the Russians out of
Feng Huan Cheng also.
Few further details have yet been
received, but it seems that the Jap
anese imperial guards fought with con-
Spicuous bravery and sustained the
brunt of the fighting, losing heavily.
Some accounts speak of bayonet
charges.
1t is evident that the success of the
Japanese is largely due to the supe-
riority of their artillery, the Russian
guns being too light.
The japanese victory has caused a
complete surprise In the European
capitals, and it is expected to lead to
difficulty in Russia's efforts to raise a
loan.
RUSSIAN LOSSES 1000.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 8, 1 a. M
The censor will not pass press dis
patches wired from the front The
absence of news led to the circulation
of wild rumors. For instance, it was
reported that Gen. Sassulitch would be
relieved of his command and court
martialed for making a too strenuous
stand on the right bank of the Yalu.
Asa matter of fact, while the war Of
flee is surprised at the resistance made
by Gen. Sassulitch, a telegram from
Gen. Kuropatkin to the emperor on
April 26 announced that Sassulitch, in
view of the preparations which the
Japanese were making to cross the
Yalu, had begun to reinforce his troops
on the Manchurian bank
Another report says that the war
office has been informed that the Rus
sian casualties numbered 1000. Should
this be true, it can be accepted as a
certainty that the Russian plan of OPP
erations never contemplated such 6
sacrifice.
