IN MANCHURiA
The Movements OF Troops Being
Conducted Quietly


Yin Kow, March 17.-The Only re
liable reports at the present moment
from the main Manchurian cities show
a quiet movement along the railway
and such cities as Mukden which are
off the main line are undisturbed. The
people here are not in possession of
definite news of outside events The
chief movement on the Fung Huang
Cheng military road is the dispatch
of riders to and from the Russian ad-
vance forces. A creditable native has
arrived here bringing a report as late
as March II from Song Huang Cheng
to the effect that the main body of
the concentrated forces had crossed
the Yalu, leaving small bodies of
troops at Antung and other points to
guard the river. A fortnight ago a
few spies visited Antung but since
then no Japanese have been seen west
of the Yalu. The continued attacks
of the Japanese have compelled the
steady occupation of the Lao Tong
peninsula The last bombardment of
Port Arthur rendered every part of
the fortress at Port Arthur unsafe
Residents assert that the fragments
of Japanese shells fell everywhere and
that some railway coaches and build
ings were destroyed though most of
the damage on the shore was unim-
portant
Foreigners choosing to remain in
the interior must now sign an agree
ment restricting their movements and
stipulating that a special pass is neces-
sary when leaving their bounds.
