AFTER BALTIC FLEET.
Japs Send Big Squadron South ia
Meet Rojsstvensky.
MAY ALrER RussIAN- pLANo

Pert Arthur Squadron No Longer to
Be Feared, Forty Japanese War
ehlrs Are etsanling to Attack Relief
Fleet.
Washington, Dec. 20. - Japan has
dispatched a great fleet Of 40 warships
TO meet and destroy the powerful Rus
sian Baltic fleet
This information is oficial 1t IS
contained in a cable to the United
States government from the American
minister in Toxic. It reads:
"A Japanese feet of 40 vessels
passed Pescadores Islands yesterday
going south. This report has been
confirmed here"
The Pescadores Islands lie just
south of Formosa.
Thus, Japan, ever ready and quick
to act has moved far ahead of the
time expected, to bring about q sea
battle that is expected to be the most
important in modern times.
At this moment the Baltic feet is
divided. Admiral Folkersahm's divi-
sion, comprising 20 ships, has entered
the Indian Ocean, having been last re-
ported at Jibutil. Admiral Rojest-
vensky's detachment, Is ships or more,
is believed 10 be in the vicinity of the
Cape of Good Hope, having sailed
around Africa.
The place agreed upon by the Rus
SLAMS TO concentrate is believed to be
the Chagos group of islands, south Of
India. Naval experts here figure that
the czar's officers expected to mobilize
the armada about January4.
However, this sudden and dramatic
move on the worlds chess board by
the mikado is declared here TO be cer-
tain to surprise the Russians and
compel a hurried change Of plans.
The destruction of the last of the
Port Arthur squadron by the plunging
fire from 203-Metre Hill and the sue.
cessful attack by torpedo boats on the
battleship Sevastopol in the outer har-
Dor released the tried lighting ships
and men of Admiral Togo. 1t is
pointed out by the naval experts that
only a few torpedo boats and some
swift armed merchant ships have been
in all likelihood left at Port Arthur
TO look after blockade runners.
Various foreign merchantmen have
reported seeing the Japanese battle
ship Mikasa and other vessels en-
tirely repainted, repaired and in the
best of fighting trim off Nagasaki, the
great naval depot OF Japan. It is be-
lieved that the miKadU-s ships have
had their bottoms scraped and are now
able to steam at their swiftest.
These vessels are manned by ex-
perienced fighters, and are considered,
therefore. to have a great advantage
over the untried Russian compliments.
The total of 40 Iapanese ships. it was
explained by a noted American naval
officer, shows that it includes armed
merchantmen Of high speed to act as
scouts, colliers carrying a vast reserve
supply of coal and provision ships.
In all likelihood the Japanese will
seize a base in one Of the many island
harbors Of the Indian Ocean and make
the dazzling dash to cut off the Rus.

JAPAN VICTORIOUS IN FIRST BATTLES OF THE WAR.

sian land forces fri the, Far East. One faction favors the placing of both land and sea forces under viceroy Alexieff and the generals and the other high of ficers of the army believed that the prestige of General Kuropathin. the War Minister, is esss ciak to achieving success with the lanS skces, and they therefore urge a divisi@ @M f3authority. In any event. 1t is urH Hf tod that viceroy Alex jeff, as the Cs. " Representative in the Far East, will have general direction of the operations.
 As the passage of Lake Bailkal by train across the Ice appears to be too danger ous, the Russian reiriforcements will cross the ice on foot and sthe material will be transported over q temporary line.
 The report given out by the admiralty this afternoon of the sinking of eleven Japanese warships in the Far East travel ed over Russia ana Europe and St. Petersburg was besieged by telegrams asking for confraation. Later in the day when doubt was cast on the accuracy of this report. public anxiety became more acute.
 Inquiries for an official statement were met with the response that fin accord witf the circular issues last Sunday, all of ficial reports would first appear in the Official Messenger.
 The statement published in London thai M. Kurino. the retiring Japanese min ister. presented the note from his gov ernment February 9th is not true. Thi. note was received here the evening o February 5. but 1t was not presented until February 9th.

In addition to tine Pasteurized milk which he has been talk ing since his Illness began, he took some white of an egg today, nearly all of which he retained on his stomach.
 He apparently was stronger than yes- terday and wanted to insist on exerting himself when it became necessary to change his position. His spirits also seemed improved and for the first time he was permitted to have a ten minutee' conversation with his brother, H. M. Hanna, who Is now in the city. Mir. Hanna later said he was pleased with have the emaciated and wasted look so frequently seen in typhoid cases.
 During the day the Senator's temper on three separate occasions, and his pulse up to 96, the highest yet recorded. The records of both temperature and pulse are in keeping with those ordinarily reached in cases of irregular typhoid fever, from which the Senator is sui fering.
 The following bulletin on Senator Han mas condition was issued tonight: "At 8 D. m. Senator Hanna was resting quiet ly. His temperature was 1Oe.6; pulse 9 and regular; respiration 24 There are ho complications and his general condition remains good"

MARCH ON SEOUL BEGUN.
5000 Japanese Reported to Have
 Landed at Chemu1po.

5000 Japanese Reported to Have Landed at Chemulpo.
 London, Feb. 10.--In a dispatch from Tientsin. dated February g. a correspon- dent of The Daily Mail says 1t is reported there that the Russian cruisers Variag and Korietz hauled down their flags with out shot. and that 5000 Japanese im- mediately landed at Chempulo and the march to Seoul was Commenced.
 It was reported from Pekin today that the Japanese had disembarked at Chem pulo notwithstanding the presence there of two Russian warships. and another dis patch from Che Foo said Japan had the Variag and the Korietz caught at Chem pulo.
 Japanese troops also landed at all the chief points off, socthern and western Korea. One division of the Japanese guards holds Fusan and Chempulo, and altogether three divisions of the Japanese guards, each of l20oo men. have been mobilized.
 It appears, the correspondent says, that the Russian warships at Vladivostock are ice-bound.
 Another correspondent of The Daily Mall telegraphs from Port Arthur under date of February 9. that the Russian ad- vance has commenced. General Krasta- linski will leave Lio Yang tomorrow for the Yalu river at the head of the third brigade of artillery, consisting of twenty four guns and three regiments of infan- try. The third. fourth and fifth infantry brigades are entrenched along the rail- road at a distance zofj forty miles from Hai Cheng, and thiss batteries of the fifth brigade are at Kin Chou.
