TOKIO, April 12.—It is believed here that fighting has commenced on the Yalu River. It is known that the Rus- | occupy the right bank of the river in force. No direct information from the Yalu district has been received here, but the | position of the Russians is known, and | while it is doubted that they will be able to prevent the Japanese crossing the river, that they will offer some op- | position is regarded as certain. It is| not believed, however, that there will | sians Japanese operations to cross the Yalu.

British Gunboat Espiegle Is Given an Ofiicial Farewell. NEWCHWANG, April 12.—Prior to the departure of the British gunboat Espiegle, which has been stationed here during the past winter, at 1 o'clock to-day, Civil Administrator Grosse visited the warship officially. After this visit the civil administrator, 1 in company with the Russian local au- thorities, waited on the espianade along the water front while the gun- boat steamed past on her way down the river. ; This official ceremony was in recog- nition of the cordial and pleasant re- lations which have existed between the officers of the Espiegle and the Russian authorities during the stay of the Brit- ish gunboat at Newchwang. The de- tention of the Espiegle after the time | originally set for her departure is un- derstood to indicate the unqualified ac- ceptance by Great Britain of the es- tablishment by the Russians of martial law at Newchwang, her agreement to the plan for the protection of British interests here during the war, and the final restoration of treaty rights. The departure of the Espiegle re- moves a cause of embarrassment to the Russian authorities, and enables them to put into execution a system of mar- tial law consistent.with the demands of the situation. She was the last for- eign warship at Newchwang, the Unit- ed States gunboat Helena having left here ten days ago. The last of the merchant steamships left Newchwang to-day, and the ship- have notified their agents to send no more vessels here; consequently it is expected that hence- forth commerce will be practically at a | | standstill. The streets of Newchwang are no longer lighted at night, and the move- ments of boats on the river at night is prohibited.

QUIET AT PORT ARTHUR. | Makarofi’s Battleships and Torpedo- Boats Cruise Out to Sea. PORT ARTHUR, Monday, April'1l.— | Telegraphic communications have been interrupted recently owing tothe torren- | tial rains. The rallroad embankments in South Manchuria have been dam- aged, thus delaying the movements of | troops. The embankment of the rail- i road running to Shanhaikwan is sub- merged at several points. A squadron of battleships and tor-‘ i pedo-boats has just returned here from | a cruise far out to sea. | Eastgr passed without the expected | Japanese attack. Every. precaution | was taken to prevent a surprise. ¥ice | Admiral Makaroff, who personally su- pervised nightly the precautionary measures, spent Easter eve in a guard boat. During the usual Easter night service the church windows were cov- ered so as to prevent the lights being | seen by the enemy, and the absence of | all illumination in the town was a con- | stant reminder to the inhabitants of the possibility of an attack. The troops celebrated Easter Sunday at their posts. | — SKIRMISHES FRONTIER. Main Body of Japanese Is in Neigh- borhood of Wiju.
