Japs Hold Southern Manehuria.


London. May 9.-For all practical
purpose the Japanese now control the
whole area south Of a line drawn from
New Chwang to Feng Wang Cheng. in
Guiding all the Lao Tung peninsula.
except Port Arthur.
A military correspondent OF the
Daily Telegraph, commenting on the
situation. says:
Evidently it is an effective pursuit
OF thoroughly beaten army that is
going on. Cavalry, well ahead Of In
fantry. has defeated the Russians at
Chalichal, on the road to Siugen, and
at points on two other roads toward
Haishang and Lao Yang.
'The forts along the Lao river. on
which such elaborate pains have been
expended, are being dismantled. It will
be remembered this was another Of the
places that we have been repeatedly told
from st. Petersburg had been rendered
impregnable and about which 1t was
said the Japanese had missed their OPP
portunity and lost their chance.
Clearly an advance such as this.
with the post of New Chwang already
virtually available for a fresh Japan
ese landing, renders the Russian posi-
tons at Hal Cheng and Lao Yang very
precarious. Before long General Kuro-
XII will be able to obtain supplies from
the port of Kin Chou. changing his
base to that side, and coming into d.
rect communication with the second
army.

Washington, May S.-The Japanese
legation has received the following Off
cial dispatch, dated Toxic. May 8:
General Kuroki, commandant OF the
first army corps, reports that on May
6 our cavalry detachment dispersed
the enemy at Feng Wang Cheng, which
was Immediately occupied by our in
fantry detachment. The enemy burnt
its munitions before evacuating the
stronghold. Refugees Of the enemy.
who have been hiding in the adjoining
forests and villages, continue to come
out and surrender. Natives say that
the number of Russians who were car
ried on litters through Feng Wang
Cheng on May 2 amounted to 800. 1t
is believed that the total casualties of
the enemy exceeded 3.000."

New Chwang. May z, 9 a. m.-There
is every indication that the Russians
have decided to evacuate New
Chwang. Troops have been leaving
here all day long. The forts have been
dismantled and all the artillery has
been placed on board trains. All the
local transportation has been COM
mandeered by the Russian authorities.
There Is current here native rumor
that Japanese transports are In Foo
Chau (on the west side of the Lao
Tung peninsula and about sixty miles
north of Port Arthur. but this report
lacks confirmation.
The fear is held here that II the Rus
SLAMS leave and the Japanese do not
at once take possession Of New
Chwang. the brigands. who are now
across the river. near Ying Kow, will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the brig

British consul has requested that a

The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.
The vessel is at New Chwang.

ably was the last train out of Port Ar

They used artillery and small arms,
