TRYING TO ISOLATE RUSSIANS
Object of Japanese in Landing at Shan
Hal kWan.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 15.-There is
no official confirmation of the rumor
from Port Arthur of the landing OF
Japanese troops at Shan Hal Kwan.
II the rumor should prove to be cor.
rect, it will mean that the Japanese
are trying to get in the rear of the
Russians from both tanks with the
object Of cutting communications.
In military circles confidence is ex.
pressed that the forward Japanese
movement from Korea will be checked
as soon as the Russian advance is en-
countered.
The retirement of the families of
Russian officials across the Yalu river
from Yongampo is interpreted as an
indication that the news of the first
serious land fighting will emanate
from this point.
The alarm occasioned by the re-
ported landing of Japanese In Korea
extends as far back as Mukden, where
the Chinese are said to be in a state
Of Panic.
Some of the newspapers here are
protesting vigorously against the GEN.
sorship of war news.
| The wife of Captain Roudnef Of the
variag has received telegram from
Viceroy Alexieff, saying that her hus-
band is alive and unhurt.
An account of the injury to the wall
at Port Arthur during the Japanese
bombardment is the sum total of the
war news issued officially up to mid
, night.
At the admiralty it was said that no
information had been received of the
attack Feb. II on two Japanese mer-
chant steamers, the Naganoura Maru
and Zensho Maru, which vessels were
said to have been shelled by four Rus
sian warships, and one of them sunk.
! The admiralty stamps as nonsense
the story that the Baltic fleet has been
ordered to the far East, pointing out
that the ships are laid up at Cron-
stadt, where they will be ice-bound
for the winter.

NOTIFIED THE COMPANY.
Barber Asphalt Company Informed of
the Settlement Talk.

Pfau & Pau wrote today to the Bar
Der Asphalt company, notifying it of the
action of the meeting of Broad street
property owners and other citizens Mon
day night in reference to trying to eff
feet a compromise or settlement of the
suit brought by it in the United States
court, and also of the action of the COM
mittee appointed at that meeting. They
expect to receive reply next week, but
until it comes have no idea how the COM
panv will look at the matter. They be-
Geve that the company may be willing
to settle the case, but whether on terms
that would suit the property owners is
a matter that they have no knowledge
of.
1t is conceded by all that it will be a
difficult matter to effect settlement
under existing conditions, and the
chances are that the case will be fought
out in the courts, in which case the city
should and will no doubt put up the best
fight it can, and not hesitate to spend
some money on the case.

ST. JAMES PRISONER.
John Struss Held at the Instance OF
Ella Beach.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Sheriff Forsyth last night brought
John Struss to the city and placed him
in the county Jail to await his trial on
the question as to whether he is the faith
er of Ellie Beak's seven months old
baby. Struss denies that he is the faith
er. He is twenty three years old, and
was married one year ago Wednesday
and has a five weeks old child.
1t appears that Struss, who is not
a bad appearing young man, was ar
rested in July bound over to the Octo-
Der term of court, released on bonds
and fed. He returned to his home, three
and a half miles south of Louis
Vile, six weeks ago, and surrendered
himself two weeks ago, since which time
efforts have been made to settle the case
by other parties.

MAY MAKE REPRISALS.
Japanese Deeply ResentfuI Over Sinl
inn of ZenSho Maru

Japanese Deeply Resentfu Over Sink
ing of Zensho Maru.
Toxic, Feb. 15-Japan is deeply
stirred and deeply resentful over the
sinking of the merchant vessel Zen
sho Maru by four Russian cruisers,
which attacked the Zensho Maru and
her companion, the Naganoura Maru,
while they were on their way from
Sakata to Otaru, on the island of
Hakkaido. The attack of the Russians
is declared to be a wanton crime I'M
justified under any circumstances,
even assuming that the Zensho Maru
disregarded signals, which is denied.
The foreign Office has issued
statement saying the Russian cruisers
fired on the japanese vessels without
warning and that all on board the
Zensho Maru were either killed or
drowned
1t is said the Japanese government
is planning reprisals. Several Rus
sian ships, which have been detained
in order to prevent reports of the
movements of the Japanese from
reaching the enemy, will now, it is
said, be sent to the prize courts and
will probably be confiscated.
The presence Of Russian squadrons
in northern Japanese waters centers
all interest there The country is iso-
lated and it is difficult to obtain salts
factory reports from there
The Japanese government has de-
cided to accept the parole of France
for the Russian prisoners captured at
Chemulpo at the time of the sinking
of the Variag and Korietz.
Baron de Rosen, the Russian minis
ter, withdrew from the capital at 9
o'clock Thursday. There was no dis
turbance.
Advices from Nagasaki say that the
enga cement at Port Arthur commenc-
ed at o'clock on the morning of Feb.
9. Altogether twelve vessels were de-
stroyed and eight captured.
