Japanese scouts have occupied Wiju. which is on the east bank of the Yalu River and ‘only a few from its mouth. Apparently the Russians have withdrawn to the west side of the river, thus leav- ing the Mikado's forces in complete control of Northwestern Korea. In a dispatch to a London newspaper it is reported that the Japanese fleet renewed the bombard- ment of Port Arthur on Sunday. No details are given and no confirmation of the report has come from any source. Since General Kuropatkin's arrival at Liaoyang the Russian censors have placed an embargo upon all news concerning the movements of troops, Kuropatkin is rapidly arranging for the carrying out of his plan of campaign. Port Arthur has been strengthened and Newchwang's defenses have been put into con- dition to withstand attack. Each day of Japan’s delay in striking a decisive blow is proving of inestimable advantage to the Russinns, who have been cnabled to complete the mobiiization of their forces. Bad roads, incidental to the spring thaw, are hampering the Japanese advance tlim||gh Western Korea. The commanders of two bodies of Cossack horsemen operating with the Russian army on the Yalu . River informed the commander in chief that they are about to embark upon some secret mission, which will | mecessitate their absence for some time. These two forces have the status of raiders, whose present duty is | to harass the Japanese advance, and their leaders are permitted to operate on their own initiative without i being hampered by orders from headgnariers. It is probable that some flanking movement is to be attempt- ed against the advancing Japanese. miles \ China, through one of her generals at Lassa, has made a formal request to the commander of the | British expedition that he withdraw his force from Tibet. | The report that Russian authorities hauled down an American flag in Newchwang is now declared | to have been without foundation. No report of the alleged pccurrence has reached the State Department in Washington. i ‘Tllilitary E;pert’s ;T—i;wgfiate 0f MiSSiOIl&I'iBS'Three Japanese Armie; . of Far Eastern in KOI'B?L Ca,llse to Operate in the Situation. j : War Zone.

RIOUS COUP DELAY AIDS THE RUSSIAN COMMANDER Kuropatkin Now Ready to Resist Invasion _ of Manchuria. ST. PETERSBURG, April the time approaches for the opening of land operations on a large scale the | Russian authorities are exercising greater vigilance to prevent the news of their plans going abroad, where it might be of service to the enemy. For ten days not a scrap of information has been given out or has come from the front. There practically exists an embargo upon news dispatches, those coming through being colorless and devoid of importance. Information | regarding what is actually occurring | is being well concealed. It is asif an impenetrable curtain had suddenly been rung down on the stage of the war in East Asia. Behind this curtain the greater ac- tivity prevails. General Kuropatkin, at his temporary headquarters in Liaoyang, is directing the execution of his plans, moving the troops, strength- ening the positions selected, oiling the | wheels of the commissariat and quar- | termaster departments, perfecting the | hospital service and otherwise looking | after the organization and innumera- | ble wants of the army in the field. When the prologue is over and the| real developments begin the curtain which shuts out the view of the spec: tators will rise and not before. | PLANS OF KUROPATKIN. i General Kuropatkin's plan of cam- | paign is in the keeping of those who will betray nothing. Only the barest outlines are known, the rest| is pure guesswork. That the general's | plan of compaign has been worked out and that, as previously stated in these dispatches, it involves the playing of a waiting game until the disposition of the army has been completed can be stated positively. It can also be as: serted that these plans are progress ing even more rapidly than was ex: pected. Every day s now considered 4 distinet gain for the Russians and a distinet loss for the Japanese. For| this reason it can be confidently pre-| dicted that the Russians will not flo‘ more than harass the Japanese ad- vance in Korea. The gradual with-| drawal of the Russians does not mean | anything as determining the fighting capacities of the men of the respective armies, as this is part of the Russian tactics. The melting of the snow In the mountainous country will render lm- passable in the svring the roads over | which the Japanese must come, and this is considered to be almost as | cffective an opposition as would a Rus- sian army corps. EXPECT FLANK ATTACKS. The Russians also count on a Japan- | ese flanking movement in connection | with a frontal attack and, therefore. | a Russian force has been disposed along the Tumen to prevent the en- trance of a Japanese column there. | Another flanking movement is expect- ed at the head of the Liaotung Guif, near Newchwang, and everything there is being prepared to receive the enemy; | tut for the present the Russian mili | tary authorities believe that the Jap- | i 4.—As | ! anese game at this point has been blocked by the failure of the enemy to blockade and render immovable the fleet of Vice Admiral Makaroff, which, | while free, will be too great a menace to the movements of Japanese trans- ports in the Gulf of Pechili. Ancther effort to block Port Arthur is conse- quently expected daily. | One of the principal reasons for Vice- | roy Alexieff’s visit to Port A‘lhur is | understood to have been a desire for a conferencé with Vice Admiral Maka- | roff with a view to frustrating these | plans, and all possible precautions have bheen taken. Indeed, It is hinted in high quarters that the next time the Japanese appear off Port Arthur they will find a surprise awaiting them. HARBIN AN ARMED CAMP. A correspondent en route to the front, writing from Harbin on March 13, de- scfibes the scene there as he observed From al! sides soldiers were pouring into Harbin, the uncompleted railroad station being transformed into a bar- racks, while almost every house in the town was occupied by soldiers. Pristan, a short distance away. which until recently had been a small village on the bark of the Sungarl River, had become a city with temporary build- ings which were being used by the troops and with stores and restau- rants. The snow-filled streets of the two cities were thronged by picturesque Cossacks, bearded Siberians, sharp- shooters and galloping orderlies, all imbued with the fever to get to the front. Merchants and restaurateurs, the correspondent adds, were accused of extortion, but money was cheap. Spring was coming in, though violent REQUESTS BRITISH TO RETIRE FROM © SOIL OF TIBET GURU, Tibet, April 4—The British mission to Tibet, accompanied by Col- onel Macdonald’s flying column, ar- rived this afterhoon. A Chinese general from Lassa visited Colonel Young- husband and requested that the mission withdraw. PARIS, April 4—A dispatch to the Temps from St. Petersburg says the fighting in Tibet has revived irritation throughout Russia. The British ex- pedition is considered to be a hostile act against Russia, which cannot per- mit Great Britain to become mistress of the Tibetan capital, because she thus would acquire a preponderating influ- ence over the Russian Mongols.

McGowan, an American businss man, who has spent many vears among the Russians, both in Europe and Asia, arrived by the steamer Agamemnon from Yokohama. He says that nothing but a miracle can save Russia from humiliation and disastrous defeat at the hands of the Japanese. Russia's army, navy and civil service are hon- eycombed with corruption and mutiny to an extent utterly beyond belief. The Trans-Siberian Railway is a complete failure.
