May Postpone Aggressive Operations.
London. Feb %. The latest advices
of Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis
ter to Great Britain, lead him to believe
that the Japanese troops may now wait
possibly two or three months before un-
dertafing aggressive operations in Man
churia.
Baron Hayashi does not credit the re-
port that $500 Russian soldiers have
been killed in an outpost engagement
at the Yalu river. He says there is no
Japanese force in that vicinity large
enough to infiict such a loss
The only naval development Baron |
Hayashi expects in the near future is a
possible attack on the Japanese feet by
