Liaotung Peninsula with “xceptiea of Port Arthur and 180,000 Troops Are Ready to Cut Off Retreat. LONDON, May 18.—The Japanese army is in full possession of the Liaotung Peninsula, with the exception of Port Arthur, and despatches received here say that 100,000 Russians are hemmed in by an army of 180,000 Japanese. The Russians have evacuated Newchwang, where the Japanese have landed. The Japanese, the despatches say, also have landed at Kaiping. A tremendous battle between the main body of the Russians and the Japanese was imminent, until Gen. Kuropatkin, in command of the Czar’s troops, withdrew to Mukden. The Japanese are reported to be intrenched above Mukden in great numbers, and this move of Kuropatkin is believed to have placed him between opposing forces. THINK RUSSIANS HEMMED IN. War experts here are of the opinion that Kuropatkin has been hemmed in on the north and south, if the despatches received here can be relied upon. These same experts agree that any hour may bring news of a great battle, and the odds are against the Russians. The plan ot the Japanese has been to drive the Russians from Man- churia, and in this they seem to have succeeded so far as the southern rt of the country is concerned. All despatches agree that the Russians are outnumbered, that up to this time they have been outgeneraled, FLEET BOMBARDING AGAIN. While the Japanese forces have been active the ships under Togo have not been resting. The Daily Telegraph correspondent under date of May 47 wired: “The Japanese, with a large fleet of transports and warships, ap- red at Kaichow yesterday morning and opened a terrific bombardment inst the shore defenses, which were silenced by 4 o'clock in-the after- noon, the Russians retreating to Taschichiao, ‘The Japanese troops landed and are to-day advancing rapidly, out- flanking Taschichiao and Newchwang.” pea aga TWO JAPANESE OFFICERS EXECUTED NEAR HARBIN 8ST.
