are being received from Corean sources, Win

while owing to the differences existing between
the Corean and japanese pronunciation 1t IS
difficult to determine the different localities
mentioned -'.~''' ~ -
In reliable quarters here the present Russlah
strength in the province of Ham-Heung is esti-
mated at about one thousand men with twelve
guns who. it is anticipated, will be soon rem
forced. The Cossacks say that six hundreu
cavalry and four thousand infantry are now
following in their rear. The main bodies OF the
invaders are advancing by two routes, hanked
and preceded by small scouting parties. 1t is
not known whether their objective point Is Ping
Yang or Wonsan, the latter town being an easy
prey. stretching along the beach in cuphke
hollow formed by the surrounding hills.
According to report, the Cossacks have occu-
pied Puk-Chon, and it Is known that the Jap
anese are preparing to resist their advance 1t
is now probable that column will be sent
north from Wonsan and a body of infantry left
here to-day to reinforce the garrison stationed
at that town.
