ELANkEp The RUSSIANS.
Japs Said to Have Outwitted Follow
ers of Car.

Adyices have been received In
Washington by cable from Chefoo, op-
posite Port Arthur to the effect that
Japanese land forces have appeared
at Flung Wang Chang and at Tashan.
No details are furnished. The first
named place is about forty-fve miles
north of An Tung in Manchuria, and
the latter is few miles inland from
the mouth of the Yalu river. Accord
ing to the calculations of the naval Of
ficers here they believe that this
has placed the Japanese on
the Russian flank and perhaps in the
rear and ON their line of communica-
ton. 1t is believed that the recent
attack upon Port Arthur and Talien
Wan was diversion perhaps to cover
the expeditions land movements OF
the Japanese, who were probably
landed from transports at some point
west of the falu river.

ter invited President 30 to call at the

the need for concluding the transfer

encourage any obstacles.

RUSSIANS OPTIMISTIC.
Do Not Expect an Outbreak in the
Balkan Country.

Careful inquiry in st. Petersburg
concerning the outlook in the Balkans
develops that the prevailing opinion
in government, as well as in diplo-
matte circles. is against an outbreak
OF war in the spring, although the
danger is not considered passed. A
perfect understanding exists between
Russia and Austria. and besides, the
Russian authorities appear to be COM
pletely satisfied regarding the attitude
of Bulgaria.
