ARMY AT
THE YALU
japanese Forces Evidently
Making Vigorous Efforts to
Penetrate Manchuria.
KGrOpatkin's Plans Con-
Sidered to Consist Chiefly
of Desire for Time.
Special Dispatch to The call.

PARIS. April s.-The Herald's
European edition publishes the fol-
lowing from its military expert:
There is more and more confirma-
ton Of the fact that the Russians,
abandoning opposition to the march Of
the japanese toward the mouth of the
YaIu. have evacuated the lower part
Of the left bank Of the river without
giving battle and have only left in
touch on the right flank of General
Kuroki some strong parties of Cos
sacks.
Thus becomes plain the plan of
General Kuropatkin, which consists in
gaining time and drawing toward him,
if it lends itself to this maneuver. the
japanese army which is now deployed
from Pingyang to Anju and beyond.
1t is announced that the Russians
have occupied in force Fengwang-
cheng. having only left some detach-
ments as guards. from Antung to Kai-
lieutin and above this point. 1t ap-
pears therefore that the defense which
is being prepared there will not be
very serious, but it is certain that
General Kuroki is endeavoring to cross
the Value with his army to penetrate
into Manchurfa by the Peking road.
We may be permitted to doubt
whether they have we'll counted the
difficulties Of all kinds which are al
ready offered in Korea to the advance
OF guns in the water-soaked roads.
The wagons which are bringing up all
kinds Of supplies become mired every
instant. These guns, drawn by six
little horses of no great size or bulk,
only advance with despairing slow
ness. Now as Korea hardly produces
enough rice to feed its inhabitants. il
is necessary that the armies which are
operating there be followed by every
thing that is necessary for the sub
sistence of the men and animals.
There is also another consideration
of a nature TO make General Kuroki
hesitate about taking the offensive by
entering directly the region where are
gathered almost all the Russian
forces. This is that such an attack
in front would only have a chance of
success by being prepared through
previous or simultaneous movements
executed on the west or southwest of
the enemy's position"

RUSSIAN WARSHIPS HASTEN TO BATTLE
WITH JAPAN FLEET NEAR PORT ARTHUR
Admiral Makaroff Reported to Have Engaged the
Enemys Vessels Outside the Harbor of the
Muscovite Stronghold.

PARIS, April 9.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Echo de Paris
says Admiral Makaroff went out from
Port Arthur this morning, a japanese
squadron having been sighted in the
offing. 1t is rumored that a sea fight
took place.
The same correspondent of the Echo
de Paris says that a French agent is
negotiating for the sale of Argentine
warships to Russia, which is deter
mined to have a superiority over the
Japanese fleet by the end of July.
ST. PETERSBURG, April S.--A des-
patch from Port Arthur announces
that a japanese fleet has been seen
lowering about the horizon and that,
in view of the moonless nights, a new
attack is anticipated.
There are persistent rumors current
that the japanese are preparing an at
tack for tomorrow. hoping to find the
Russians engrossed in their Easter de-
votions.
Baron Won Rosen has been received
by the Emperor and appointed master
of the court.

show ia killed and wounded. Four
teen of this number were killed out

tai, four died in hospital; forty recov-

ST. PETERSBURG, April 8. =
hundred millions of the Emperor's sub

The Russian capital seemed plunged
in grief. The busy hum of the metropo-
lis gone. The streets were deserted.
All night and morning the church bells

full of the betrayal at Gethsemane,

phagus erected in the center of the
church. The vast congregation, con-
sisting of over ten thousand persons,
was on it's knees, each holding light

and bishops circled the bier and then
all the lights were extinguished and
for hours throngs sf people passed be-
fore the catafalque, most of them sob

prominently an article from an Amer
lean newspaper describing an interview
between Emperor Alexander II and
Wharton Barker (the Philadelphia
financier, formerly financial agent of
the Russian Government in the United
States) on the occasion of the review
of the Russian fleet at Cronstadt, in
1879, during which the Emperor told
Barker of his determination to consider
Great Britain's recognition of the Con-
federacy as a casus belli, and for that
reason sent the Russian fleets to New
York and San Francisco. The Novoe
Vremya remarks:
Russia has not forgotten to honor
the flag raised in 1863 by Russian
squadrons at New York and San Fran
cisco. The Americans who were al
Cronstadt that day knew how to ap-
preciate Russia's friendship for Amer

The Novosti approves of the Govern
ment's policy of retrenchment in or

on the people. but foresees that more
important measures are necessary tc
provide for the war expenditure.
