JAPs STRIKE OUT FOR MUKDEN
About Sixty Thousand Men Landed They Can
from Yalu River

Toxic, Feb. 13.-There is good au-
,thority for the statement that Japan S
troops in Korea up to date number
between $4,000 and 10000. The min
istry Of war expects information of
decisive developments within few
days, possibly within a few hours, and,
indeed, they would not be surprised
to learn that a decisive battle already
has occurred in Korea.
The Japanese troops for several
days have been advancing rapidly to-
ward the Yalu river. There, it is eX-
pected, they will meet and engage the
Russian forces. The Japanese de-
clare that the numbers Of the Russian
troops are greatly exaggerated.
To Cut Off Communications.
The plan Of the Japanese appears to
be to take the road which leads al
most straight to Mukden, in Man
Chura.
They profess to have no doubt that
they will be able to drive back the
Russian forces towards Hardin, where
the Manchurian railway leaves the
Trans-Siberian road. Proceeding di-

A POSSIBLE BATTLE
ON THE YALU RIVER
What the Military sharps Think About It's
Probability.
Not Likely That Russia Northern
BoundaryIt Will Be Time for Japan Accumulate
sary Stores Before Giving Forces
New York Sun Special Service.

London, Feb. 13.-Military and
naval experts here do not agree with
lhe impression prevailing in some
quarters that the Japanese are already
prepared to move in force on the Rus
sian positions on the Yalu river, the
boundary between Korea and Man
churia. 1t is questioned, first of all,
whether the whole story of the con-
ceutration Of any considerable Russian
army on the Yalu is not a myth. In
that case, 1t may be that the Japanese
will find it worth their while to brush
aside with a division rapidly pushed
forward the screen of Russian troops
which presumably covers a considera-
BILE accumulation of stores.
While it may be we'll worth while
either to seize or destroy this accumu-
lation of stores, it would, however, not
be a serious advance for decisive &C
ton against the Russian army as SUCH
but only maneuver for the advantage
of position and to hamper Russian
movements by destroying the stores on
which they had calculated for their
large forces.
Previous to any advance of the
Japanese army for decisive action, if
they are in the presence at the Yalu of
really formidable Russian forces, there
must be q vast accumulation of am
munition both for artillery and in

The state department has been warned
by China itself that the result of this
flight would certainly be a general
uprising against foreigners that might
result in massacres. And the end
would be- perhaps the disruption Of
China ~:
In this event it is believed here that
the neutral powers would make off
with the lions share, the belligerents
being too much occupied to prevent
them. This conviction Of the officials
here causes them freely to express
the opinion that Russia will be guilty
Of a grave mistake If she rejects Sec
rotary Hays proposals.
But If she does do SO, It is said that
there will be no attempt made on our
part to secure thru force of arms, the
purposes stated in the note. in other
words, the United States is~not to be
dragged into hostlities in the east.

agonally, the Japanese intend to cut
the line of communication between
Port Arthur and the mainland of Man
churia, not only preventing reinforce
ments from reaching the Port Arthur
garrison, but inficting damage on the
ManChurian railroad. =
Expect to Occupy Port Arthur.
The view that the Japanese will in
the meantime be able to occupy Port
Arthur is chiefly based on the latest
information that the Russian guns
cannot be brought to bear on any
force landing at Pigeon bay, which is
on the western side Of Port Arthur
and it is believed that the Japanese
admiral will follow tactics almost ex-
actly similar to those intended to be
pursued at Santiago, the troop storm
ing the batteries in the rear while the
Japanese fleet lies waiting for the
ships of Viceroy AleXieff, who, in the
event of a land attack being success
full must either make a dash for lib
erty with his crippled fleet or fight
where they are against practically
hopeless odds.

take Golfers with them, but that
would mean that their rate of prog
ress would be very slow and that they
would be hampered in every way.
In regard to the Black sea fleet, the
same objection applies. even if permits

nelles.

st. Petersburg Gives Orders.
Thus it is affirmed by persons who
are in an excellent position to know
that the warships which were injured
by the Japanese attack, were riding
in the outer harbor, not in accord
ance with the orders of Admiral
Starko, who was In actual command,
but with instructions received from
Avellan here in st. Petersburg. Thus
there is no central authority to con-
duct operations. Admiral Skrydloff,
who is in command of the Mediter-
raean squadron will, 1t Is said be dis
patched at once to Vladivostok, as he
is one of the few men capable Of sue
cessfully handling a number of ships
in a ring engagement.

I thank you for the expression of your
sentiments and hope with you that Gods
help will be with us in these times so
serious to us. I count now, as always,
upon your devotion to- myself and to the
fatherland. and hope Russia will, as here
tofore in her history, emerge from her
grevious trial with honor and strengthened
both at home and abroad, and again de-
vote herself to the arts Of peace so dear
to my heart and 80 necessary to the
fatherland.

GREAT RESPECT FOR JAPS
Opinion in st. Petersburg Undergoes a
Radical Change.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-The Asso-

report that Japanese troops had land
ed at Port Arthur with the loss of two
regiments.
The blowing up of the Russian tor
,pedo transport Yenesei as the result
Of accidentally stiking a mine at Port
Arthur, was telegraphed here yester-
day, but the news was not given out
until the names Of the officers killed
were known, so as to avoid needless
anxiety to the relatives of the surviv-
ing officers.
The first feeling of depression is dis
appearing and entire confidence Is ex-
pressed in the ultimate success of the
Russian arms.
A distinguished Russian said THE
slight reverses which we sustained at
the outset have had a. good effect.
The Russians no longer despise the
enemy. That was mistake which we
made. The Japanese certainly are
excellent fighters who will be treated
with the respect they deserv.'

erents on the ground that She has
small concern in the matter, but has
sent no formal answer.
England wants more definite
statement Of the purpose and scope of

ers together If an attempt is made to
very exactly define the purpose of

After some preliminary exchange
Of views between this government and
the government of other powers inter-
ested in the Chinese matters, the de-
partment on the 10th Of February,
sent the following instruction to the
American representative at st. Peters,
burg, Toxic and Peking:
You will express to the minister of
foreign affairs the earnest desire Of the
government Of the United States that in
the course Of the military operations
which have begun between Russia and
Japan, the neutrality of China and in all
practicable ways her administrative en-
tity shall be respected by both parties
and that the area of hostilities shall be
localized and mitigated as much as pos
sible, SO that undue excitement and dis
turbance of the Chinese people may be
prevented and the least possible loss to
the commerce and Intercourse Of the
world will be occasioned.
AT the same time this government
informed all the powers s1gnatory Of
the protocol at Picking Of it's action,
and requested similar action on their
part"

not China does possess "administra-

Empress Of China, after having been
loaded on that vessel bound for Yoko-

on orders from the British war office
that she was not to take any contra

maintained while Japan and Russia
are at war.
The order that no oontraband shall
be carried Is applied to goods such as
foodstuffs, coal or any military or ma

their own risk.
It is reported that agents Of the
Japanese government are making ar
