THE FRANCISCO CALL. WEDNESDAY JAPAN'S MAIN ARMY WILL LAND BETWEEN PO OF FLEETS AND AR . As gathered from the fragments of dispatches that are permitted to pass the military censors in the Far East this is the present situation in the theater of war: Japan's naval operations appear to be cen- tered in an attempt’to destroy the Russian Viadivostok squadron, (If this has not already been done, as claimed in Tokio), while at the same time keeping the Czar's Port Arthur fleet “botiled up” in the Liao- The cutting off of the Vladivostok squadron from its home port was the result of clever strategy on the part of the Toklo tacticians, who deceived the enemy into the belief that all of the Japan- ese ships were operating off the western coast of Korea. Considering himself in no danger, the Russian commander put out of the Siberian harbor for his second cruise along the coast of Japan in search of prizes. ‘While one Japanese squadron, by making a wide detour, got between the Russian ships and their home port, another is said to be hurrying northward to either destroy them or drive them into the first squadron, which is waiting at the entrance of Ussuri Bay, near Vladivostok. Thus hemmed in by two numerically stronger squadrons, the Russian ships seem doomed to destruction. The four cruisers of the Viadivestok | squadron—the Rossiay, the Gromoboi. the Rurik and the Bogatyr—are among the finest in the Czar's navy and their Joss would be an irreparabie disaster. The Japanese warships now off Viadivostok are believed to be those under the command of Rear Admiral Urin, which destroyed the Russian cruiser Variag and WAR FUNDS IRE NEEDED By WIKADO Japan m h Ne-f gofiate 2 Loan in America, | ey | Denies That the Law Expects Far East Con- flict to Continue Many Months.

The | Imperial Government does not find it necessary in the present instance to concern itself in any way with the views, opinions or declarations of the Imperial Russian Government, but it believes it to be its right and duty to correct misstatement of fact which, if permitted to remain uncontradicted, might give rise to incorrect inferences and conclusions on the part of the neu- tral powers. Accordingly the Govern- ment of Japan makes the following statement respecting the five acts which in the note referred to are de- clared be fully proved and con- firmed: “L It is charged under this head- to ties against Ruseia Japan landed troops | in the empire of Korea, which had | declared its neutrality.’” The Imperial Government admits that Japanese troops landed in Korea before the dec- laration of war was issued, but not before a state of war actually existed between Japan and Russia. The main- independence and ter- | ritorfal integrity of Korea is one of war and the die- | tory was a matter of right and neces- sity, which had the consent of the Ko rean Government. The Imperial Gov- ernment drew a sharp distinction be- tween the landing of Japanese troops in Korea under the actual circum- stances of the case with the sending of a darge body of Russian troops to Manchuria without the consent of | China, as was done by Russia, while peaceful negotiations were still in pro- “2. Under this heading it is alleged that Japan ‘with a division of the Japa- Sth inst.—that is, three days before the declaration of war—on two Russian warships which were in the neutral port of Chemulpo and whose command- ers had not been notified of the rupture of relations, as the Japanese malicious- 1y stopped the delivery of Russian tele- grams by the Danish cable and de- stroyed the Korean Government's tele- graphic communication. The Imperial Government declares that the allega- tions under this heading are untrue. The Imperial Government did not stop the delivery of Russian telegrams by the Danish cable, neither did they de- stroy the Korean Government's tele- graphic communication. Regarding the alleged sudden attack on the 8th of February on two Russian men-of-war in the port of Chemulpo, it is only necessary to say that a state of war existed and that, Korea having given her consent to the landing of Japanese troops at Chemulpo, the harbor of Che- mulpo thereby ceases to be neutral, at least as between the belligerents. “3. It is charged under this heading that ‘in spite of existing international laws, shortly before the opening of hos- tilities Japan captured as prizes of war the Russian merchantmen which were in the neutral ports of Korea.’ The Im- perial Government has established the prize court, with full authority to pro- nounce finally on the question of the legality of the seizures of merchant vessels. Accordingly it would be mani- festly out of place for the Imperial Gov- ernment to make any statement re- garding the assertion under this head- ing. ‘4, It is asserted under this number that Japan declared to the Emperor of Korea, through the Japanese Minister at Seoul, that Korea would be hence- forth under Japanese administration, and warned his Majesty that in the case of non-compliance Japanese troops would occupy the palace. The Imperial Government declares the charge under this number to be absolutely and wholly without foundation in fact. “5. Under this heading it is charg- ed that the Japanese Government ‘forwarded a summons, through the French Minister, to the Russian rep- resentative at the court of the Em- peror of Korea to leave the country with the staff of the Russian legation and consulate.’ -The Imperial Gov- ernment denies the accuracy of this statement. No demand, direct or in- direct, was addressed by the Japan- ese Government asking the Russian Minister to retire from Korea. The French Charge d'Affaires called on the Japanese Minister at Seoul and in- formed him verbally, as he did after- ward in writing, that it was the de- sire of the Russian Minister to leave Korea and asked the opinion of the Japanese Minister with reference to the matter.

The two foreces are believed to aggregate in the neighborhood of 120,000 men. When all shall have reached the rendezvous at Pingyang the general advance will be ordered. Tokio advices state that the combined forces are ex- pected to arrive at the Yalu River by March 16. Northwestern Korea is overrun by Cossacks, who have been busying themselves with the destruction of bridges and telegraph lines to obstruct the Japanese advance. However, the Russians have shown no disposition to make a stand, their outposts falling back steadily before the Japanese advance. All of the heavy fortifying by the Russians is being done on the west bank of the Yalu and it is probable that the river will mark the line of serious resistance to the Japanese.

The increase of Togo's strength indicated that Admiral Uriu's division had joined the main fleet, and that there were no Japanese warships remaining in northern waters. This probably was the case, but after assisting for a short time in the bombardment of Port Arthur, Uriu’s ships withdrew, steamed hurriedly to Sasebo for a iresh supply of coal, and then, making a wide detour, appeared unexpectedly before Vladivostok last Sunday morning. The result was just what the Japanese expected. Believing themselves in no danger from at- tack, the Russian cruisers had again left Vladivestok for a raid in Japanese waters, or to cover the landing of troops in Northern Korea. Their retreat is now cut off, and the “flying squadron,” which was dispatched after the sailing of Uriu northward, is fast approaching the vicinity where. it is believed, the Russians will be found. fought. It is not improbable that a naval battle has already been The Vladivostok squadron consists of the cruisers Rossiay, Gromoboi, Rurik and Bogatyr, under the command of Captain Reitzensfein. The Bogatyr is a protected cruisers and the others are armored cruisers, the four being among the most powerful in the Russian navy. 3o | LONDON DISCREDITS THE TOKIO REPORT OF NAVAL BATTLE ‘LONDON, March 9.—The Far East- ern news published here continues to be most meager. The dispatch of Vice- roy Alexieff adds practically nothing to the accounts of the Vladivostok bom- bardment, contained in the dispatches of Monday. There is no confirmation of the rumor that the Russian Vladivo- stok squadron has been engaged and the Tokio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, cabling on the night of Tuesday, March 8, says: n “No details have. yet been received of the fight at Vladivostok.” The whereabouts of the Vladivostok squadron is still unknown, and it would appear to be quite unlikely that a na- val battle has occurred. The sending of Marquis Ito on a mission to Korea is regarded here as the most significant news of the day, and is belicved to indicate a virtual protectorate over Korea, which will be- come the Japanese military base and source of supplies. Marquis Ito enjoys great prestige. He visited the Emperor of Korea in 1898 and since then he had ‘been held in the highest esteem by the Emperor, who often consulted with him. It is reported from Shanghai that Vicercy Alexieff is preparing to remove his headquartgrs to Harbin, after hav- ing in vain ordered the Tartar general to dismiss the Chinese garrison at Mukden. In Shanghai it is believed that the Japanese will attempt the seizure of Newchwang as soon as the ice clears. The Chefu correspondent of the Daily Express reports that a large Japanese fleet has been seen proceeding in the direction of Newchwang. Among other unconfirmed reports, it is said at Yinkow that the Japanese have advanced to Fenghoancheng, about forty miles northwest of Wiju. gt Servians Are for Peace. BELGRADE, Servia, March 8.— The Servian Macedonian committee has decided to break off relations with the Macedonian revolutionary move- ment. * 3 replied that if the Russign Minister would withdraw in a peaceful man- ner, taking with him his staff and le- gation guard, he would be fully pro- tected by Japanese troops. - He did so withdraw of his own free will on the 20th of February and an escort of Japanese soldiers was furnished him as far as Chemulpo. In this connec- tion it may be remarked that the Rus- sian Consul at Eusan remained at his post as late as February 28. It is re- ported that he was compelled to stay that long in the absence of instruc- tions, which the Russian Minister ap- parently did not care to give him be- fore his own departure. When it was made known that necessary instruc- tions had at last reached the Russian Consul and that he desired to leave Fusan as soon as possible, the Japan- ese Consul at the same port offered him every facility for his departure and his passage to Shanghai was ar- ranged by the latter.” ALEXIEFF SENDS FURTHER DETAILS OF BOMBARDMENT ST. PETERSBURG, March 8.—Vice- roy Alexieff has sent the Czar the fol- lowing telegram: “MUKDEN, March 8.—I have the honor to communicate to your Majesty the following details of the events of | March 6: The enemy’s squadron ap- proached Vladivostok toward 11 o'clock | in the morning, having passed near Askold Island. After several maneu- vers, which involved changes in the squadron’s order of battle, two cruisers were left to the north of the island and | the remaining vessels of the squadron steamed along the coast of Ussuri Bay parallel to the shore, keeping about fif- teen versts (approximately ten miles) therefrom. “Upon arriving off Mount St. Joseph and the Ussuri Bay battery the squad- ron, preserving the same orfder, made toward the battery. The ships opened fire from both sides, evidently first using blank cartridges in order to warm their guns. At 1:45 p. m., when at a distance of eight versts from the shore, the leading ghip opened fire with her forward guns, and then the entire squadron steamed along the shore, fir- ing their port guns as they went. The enemy did not fire while turning. After the third turn the squadron, at 2:25 p. m., ceased firing and steamed off to the southward, about ten miles to the right of Askold Island, finally disap- pearing at 5:30 p. m. “In all the enemy fired about 200 shots, with no effect. No damage was done to the fortress or the entrench- ments, and in the town and at other parts of the fortifications the damage was insignificant. “The garrison is in excellent spirits, and the operations of preparing the batteries for action were carried out in perfect order. “According to reports of the events of March 7 the enemy's squadron reap- peared at 8 o’clock in the morning near Vladivostok. They entered Ussuri Bay and proceeded along the coast without opening fire. The squadron then re- turned and headed for Cape Gamova (Possiet Bay), which it reached at 3:40 p. m. The enemy finally turned off when opposite Pallas Bay and departed in a southerly direction.” JAPAN CONTINUES LANDING OF TROOPS IN EASTERN KOREA PARIS, March 8.—The Temps this afternoon prints a dispatch from St. Petersburg, which says: “The landing of Japanese troops continues near Wusan, Korea. Most of the forces are proceeding to Ping- vang. It is the expectation that the Japanese will take the offensive as soon as they have concentrated their troops. The Russian tactics will be strictly defensive for some time. .The Amur and other streams will be used, S0 soon as they are free of ice, for carrying military supplies.” s RUSSIA'S BLACK SEA FLEET WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO LEAVE | | shoot deer for food. Crowds awaited BERLIN, March 8.—The Porte has thus far met the requests of the Rus- sian Embassador to Turkey, Zinovieff, to permit the Black Sea fleet to pass the DaManelles by naming conditions wholly unacceptable to Russia. One of these conditions, naturally, is that Rus- sla shall break off or evade the fulfill- ment of her agreement with Austria respecting the Balkans, give the Sultan leave to settle the comtroversy by his own methods and that Russia shall as- sist Turkey should Austria or other powers dispute the Sultan’s decision. Russia rejected these proposals as pre- posterous, but she renewed her request, to which there seems little likelihood of the Sultan yielding, as British diplo- macy is active in Constantinople in urging upon the Porte a strict observ- ance of the Berlin treaty. France, so far as can be perceived here, has not seconded Russia in this matter. Such a step as permitting the Black Sea fleet to pass the Dardanelles would be regarded diplomatically as a breach of neutrality on the part of Turkey, though Great Britain's opposition to it, being aimed at the maintenance of the status quo, is not so considered. Rus- sia’s diplomatic weight in Constantino- ple has been somewhat reduced by the occurrences in the Far East. The Porte will give nothing without a heavy price. Germany expresses no opinion on the subject. The most that Germany would do in the event of a bafgain between Russia and Turkey for the release of the Black Sea fleet would be to main- tain silence, neither advising nor as- sisting either party. The Government here is looking ahead. It can conceive of a time when it will bé to Germany's advantage to have a portion of the Russian navy locked up. Austria and Italy are not moving at Constantinople, where all the powers therefore, except Russia and Great Britain, are quiescent. Russia would not use the Dardanelles now if she could, in the opinion of ex- perts here, because her Black Sea fleet is not ready for a Far Eastern cam- paign, and if it were ready Russia would wait until her Baltic fleet was thoroughly equipped. It is believed that Russia could not hope for a decisive naval success without the Baltic, Black Sea and Mediterranean squadrons uniting and proceeding east together, as otherwise they would be destroyed plecemeal. : BELEPER DOGS WILL CARRY AID TO WOUNDED ON BATTLEFIELD R TRST ST.

SHANGHAI, March 8.—An engage- ment between Japanese and Russian troops occurred on the coast about 100 miles from Vladivostok. The Russians fled, abandoning their arms and stores. Such is the report that reaches here from Osaki, Japan. There is probably a connection between this report and a similar one given out from mission- ary sources a month ago, but never confirmed. The Japanese have received full re- ports concerning the Russian prepara- tions for defense against a Japanese advance in Manchuria. Extensive earthworks are being rapidly thrown up from a point nine miles south of Haicheng, on the line from New- chwang. to Liaoyang and there shortly will be an unbroken line of earthworks from Kaiping to Liaoyang. Seven thousand natives, who have been com- fnandeered by the Russian military au- thorities, are being made to work night and day under the supervision of Rus- sian officers. The branch of the Russo-Chinese Bank at Newchwang has been closed, while the Russians there are preparing to evacuate the place. Two two hundred additional infantry have been sent to Mukden, while many small detachments of infantry and cavalry are being scattered throughout West Liaotung Peninsula. Paul Les- sar, the Russian Minister at Peking, is pressing upon the Chinese Government a demand that the whole of Manchuria be thrown open for the operations of troops during the war. Matters have become very serious in Viadivostok in regard te provisions. Fresh meat from Nikolsk is ne longer obtainable. There is still, however, a supply of flour, consisting of 13,500 sacks. On March a number of were sent to the neighboring islands of Popoff, Askold and Putjatin to 2 their return on the beach. When they came back with the spoil the carcasses were torn to pieces on the spot. Only a few civilians secured fragme™*s of the meat. PR A RIGID JAPANESE CENSORSHIP BALKS ‘WAR CORRESPONDENTS SHANGHAI March 8—The rigid censorship placed by the Japanese authorities on all telegraphic dis- patches, both press and private, has caused many of the foreign corre- spondents to seek a field of news on the mainland. Correspondents who have reached here from Tokio report that the censorship is more perfect than they have ever encountered, and is ex- ercised on inter-communication as weli as on foreign matter. Traffic on the wires has trebled and their original carrying capacity is reduced because the War Department and the Foreign Office each has taken possession of the many trunk lines that run south through the empire. The exactions of the censorships and the difficulties of inter-communication have served to largely cbscure the view of the corre- spondents and probably have resulted in much conflicting news from various points. It is expected that when the corps of newspaper correspondents who are now in Tokio are finally al- lowed to go to the front, a serious con- dition of telegraphic service will re- sult, as the land lines are not adequate to the traffic they will be called upon to carry. The regulations for the government of foreign newspaper correspondents have been promulgated and are iron- clad. One article provides that if a war correspondent violates the crimi- to military law by court-martial.

LONDON, March 8.—A dispatch to the Morning Post from Shanghal says the Japanese mobilization is proceed- ing methodically and without undue haste. Everything points to the main force being landed somewhere between Port Arthur and the mouth of the Yalu River. A second expedition is being sent to Newchwang. The Russfans are not preparing to hold Newchwang, which probably will be occupied by the Jap- anese. It is therefore probable that the Russians will withdraw from the Yalu and conecentrate at a position mors suited for meeting an attack. The correspondent repeats the state- ment that the Russian force intends to leave Port Arthur to save itself. Commenting editorially on the Far Eastern conflict, the Times says: “The situation doubtless is continuing to develop as rapidly as the season, considerations of prudence and the de lays inseparable from movements of troops on a great scale in countries where there are few practicable roads will permit. We know that three di- visions have been landed at Chemulpo and other troops have been conveyed to other Korean ports, but there is reason to believe the main body of the Japanese army has not yet crossed the sea. A large number of transports with room. it Is estimated, for 300,000 men are gathered in Japanese ports, with many attendant colliers. “Should the three divisions whiéh have crossed the sea have reserves mobilized already this would make a force available for action not greatly short of 170,000 men. But this figure by no means represents the strength cf the army Japan can put into the fleld on the continent of Asia. At a few days’ notice she can mobilize as large & number again and have them ready to embark in five or six days after the issue of the necessary command. “The destination of this force is a secret of the Japanese strategists, as is the moment when it will be dis- patehed to deliver its blow.” ———— WASHINGTON, March 8.—Postmaster Gen- eral Payne has been detained at home for sev- eral days by a severe attack of gout.
