JAps READY FOR ATTACK.
Prepared to Make a Demonstration
Against Russians.

Paris, April 26.-According to mill
tary adyices the Japanese count on
directly supporting frontal attack on
the Yalu by a demonstration made
against the right flank of the Russians
on some point on the coast between
Tatungkow and Takushan. II is rea.
sonable to admit. as has been an
nounced from Seoul and later from
st. Petersburg, that the Russians have
raised earthworks on the whole north
bank of the river and have placed
mines and torpedoes at the mouth OF
the river to keep off the warships OF
the Japanese.
1t is past question that the demon.
strations of the Japanese will take
place within certain distance OF
Takushan and preferably on the rear
of the Russian forces which line the
western bank of the Yalu, but the
great draft of the Japanese warships
will necessitate their keeping at a
great distance from shore which will
render il dangerous for them to carry
out any landing under fire from the
enemy.
1t appears to be believed that ii Is
north of Wiju that the Japanese will
try to cross the river. The Yalu is, in
fact, fordable the greater part of the
year ten miles above Win. Below
that point it cannot be passed at this
season except by boat. The Japanese,
therefore, have taken with them an
entire equipment of bridges

Edward and King Christian of Den
mark to avoid further bloodshed and
end the conflict, but that the steps
initiated have entirely failed. The en-
peror, with the full concurrence OF the
imperial family and his advisers, has
firmly decided not only to reject ali
proposals looking TO intervention, but
to prosecute the war with all the re
sources of the empire until victory
crowns the Russian arms and then
when the time comes for peace TO
make terms directly with the enemy.
The interference of outside powers
will not be tolerated. There is TO be

FOR REPEAL OF LAND LAWS.
Senate Committee on Public Lancs
Evenly Divided.

Washington, April 26-For the sec

gress bills to repeal the general land
laws have been the cause OF heated
discussions in the senate committee on
public lands. The Gibson bill for the
repeal of the commutation clause OF

act was called up and after a pro-

moved that a committee of five be ap-

of Western members of congress. The
motion was put and resulted 10 Z.

Newlands then moved that the Gibson
bin be reported favorably and this
also failed by a vote of to Z.
