that General Kerpatsky will command the

Atrocities are daily perpetrated on for

makes 1t impossible for the civil admin

Hors de Combat.

London, February 16.-It is said that
Great Britain is about to appoint con-
suls at Mukden and Antung. According
to special dispatches published here this
morning from Toxic. the Russian cruiser
squadron has returned to Vladivostock.
The Toxic correspondent of the Daily
Mail says in dispatch that two Russian
warships appeared off Oki island, in the
southern part of the Japanese sea, Sun
day. The correspondent at Chemulpo of
the Daily Express makes the astonishing
statement that Japan has already landed
100000 troops in Korea, $4,000 of whom are
extended along the fighting front, south
of the Yalu river.
No war news of Importance appeared in
the London newspapers this morning, but
the press attaches the greatest signifi.
canoe to the departure of Viceroy Alexieff
from Port Arthur, and comments upon
the sudden throwing of Russian troops in
to New Chwang as indicating Russian ap-
prehensions that Port Arthur is in dan
ger, and that the Japanese attack may
not after all be made where 1t is expect
ed, on the Yalu. All the reports tend to
confirm the impression that Russia has
little or nothing to expect from sea op-
erations.
According to dispatch to the Paris edi-
tion of the New York Herald, 400 torpe-
does, being two-thirds of Russia's entire
available supply of these articles, were
destroyed on board the Russian cruiser
Variag at Chemupo.
The Toxic correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle cables that it is stated official
ly that several thousand Russian troops
have reached Antung, and that it is ru-
mored that 10000 Russians have arrived at
Ping Yang on the Tatong river, in Central
Korea.
The Chronicle, however, regards this
rumor as improbable unless the invasion
of Korea preceded the outbreak Of hostil-
tiles.

ness had settled down closer to a normal
basis. Today's clearings were $1,000, 900,
and the balances 100000.
The general loss committee of the In
surance companies today decided that no
statement would be made of the amount
of losses paid.
This action was taken in Difference to re-
quests made by the merchants concerned
who object to publicity OF private ac-
counts.
