PROMISES TO BE EFFECTIVE.
Japanese Movement on kirin May Be
Hard Blow to Russians.

London, Feb. 29.-The correspond
ent of the Standard at Tientsin, under
date of Feb. rs IN a dispatch speaks Of
the Japanese fianking movement on
Kirin as promising to be the most ef-
fective blow yet delivered.
This is probably only a re-echo Of
the reported landing of the japanese
at Possiet Bay, which has not yet
bee given any authentic confirmation.
The Daily Mails Newchwang cor
respondent says that the Retvizan is
fast across the middle entrance to the
harbor of Port Arthur and that there
is only room for vessels to pass be-
tween her stern and the eastern side
at high water.
No further news, the correspondent
says, has been received regarding the
Pingyang skirmish.
The Daily Telegraph's Shanghai
correspondent reports that the Japa-
nese have destroyed a large Russian
store of provisions and forage at Kin
chow, thirty miles from Port Arthur.
According to Seoul reports the de-
cision of the Koreans to join the Japa-
nese in the field is due to the killing
of some Koreans in North Korea by
Russians, who justify the attack upon
the Koreans by the fact that Korea
has concluded a treaty with Japan.
The Russian squadron in the Red
Sea continues to stop and examine
British steamers.
Since Korea joined Japan interest
centers in what action France may
take. Up to date she has done moth
ing, but is waiting for the word from
Russia.
It is stated that the Novik made a
brilliant fight against the Jap fleet at
Port Arthur Feb. 26, and damaged the
flagship. y

EXPECT HEAVY FIGHTING.
Russians Look for Engagement Be
tween Land Forces.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 29.-The official
announcement by Major General
Plug that Russian cavalry had crossed
the Yalu river is expected to be fol-
lowed shortly by news of rather heavy
land fighting, as according to seeming
ly trustworthy report, General Leni-
witch has SEM a whole army corps of
infantry to support the Cossacks who
have penetrated to a point below
Anju, and who are reported to have
beaten the Japanese in several skirm-
:shes. Nevertheless, if this movement
in force is progressing it must not be
assumed that the Russians have taken
the offensive, but rather that they are
taking up a strong position in North
ern Korea in order to check the adj
vance Of the formidable army of Japa-
rese landing on both shores of Korea,
while the concentration of Russian
troops behind the Yalu is being COM
pleted. This concentration is making
better progress than is generally be-
lieved abroad. Fl
The movement of troops eastward
over the Transsiberian railway will be
greatly accelerated henceforth, as
telegraphic reports say that the ice
railroad over Like Baikal was COM
pleteQ sunday. UP TO LnlS Time the
tracks have been used as far as laid,
the soldiers marching from the ter
mius of the line to the other shore.
Major General Plugs report that
General Mas army is west of the Liao
river agrees with the statement of the
special correspondent of the Russ at
Tientsin, that the Chinese war minis
ter is hurrying large bodies of troops

II. This report says the troops are not
going by rail, but are marching by
night.
The military situation will be great
ly complicated if General Mas army is
really moving to the rear of the Rus
sian position with the intention of
making common cause with the Japa-
nese as it will expose both Russian
TANKS tn attack.

Misplaced Switch Causes Collision Of

San Francisco, Feb. 29.-The west
bound California limited and the east
bound daily overland of the Santa Fe
collided a few miles south Of Rich
mond. Both engineers, l.. T. Blocker
of the limited and ]. p. Bennett of the

A misplaced switch was the cause
of the accident. Alvin Taylor, a por-

signalled by Engineer Bennett to open
the switch. and that he obeyed with
out realizing the consequences.

Transport Corps.

Transport Corps.
London, Feb. 29.-The Times Che
mulpo correspondent under date of
Weihaiwei by Deforest wireless te-
legraphy says that the Japanese dis
em~barkations of the past few days
were confined to supplies for the trans
port corps and to $500 ponies. The
total number of troops landed is TO-
600, including the Twelfth division
and a portion of the Second division.
The guards have not yet arrived. The
artillery consists of six batteries, be-
longing to the Twelfth division. An.
other Decentralization, believed to be
on a smaller scale, is taking place i'm
mediately south of Haiju, whence the
troops will advance parallel to the
Picking road Joining those in the
neighborhood of Hwangla, thus effect
ing a gain of five days on the march.
1t is supposed, says the correspond
emit, that 5000 troops with a few guns
are nov advancing beyond Seoul To-
ward Pingyang, where $50 Japanese
have arrived.
The advance of the Russian patrols
is steadily marked by the interruption
of the telegraphs. which were broken
at Aniu on Feb. 81.
There is no trustworthy information
concerning the Russian movements.
The Koreans estimate that up to Feb.
81. 5000 Russians crossed the from
tier, 1000 being at Wiju, 1000 at Cha
sun, and the remainder scattered in
small parties.
The approach Of warmer weather
and the gradual breaking up of the
roads, continues the correspondent, is
reported tc make marching laborious
north of Seoul. This doubtless ex
plains the lull in the process of dis
embarkation. It is believed the Japa-
nese will not commit themselves to a
definite plan of campaign which
would entail marching through Korea
without first endeavoring to gain pos
session of Liaotung peninsula.
