LONDON Feb 18Th great land battle aUhe border between
Manchuria and Corea is believed by experts to be raging today Two
tl monster armies are facing each other and they have been swinging into
striking distance for three days past
The Japanese have been landing troops In Corea by scores of thou
I
sands Transports have teen running like ferries between Tokio Kobe
Nagasaki and Sasebo and Corean ports Every one of the transports
I was loaded down with Japanese soldiers It is reported that the Japanese
troops in Corea have reached the Yalu River and that the Japanese
I
scouts are in sight of the Russian fortifications
The Russians have been active also Hordes of troop have been
lJ hurried outh by train and on foot It will hardly be the policy of the
Russians to attempt to make any advance on Corean territory in the face
of the Japanese force

Japanese strategy as worked out thus far indicates that the Japanese

land attack the Japanese could possess themselves of Port Arthur the

sian army in Manchuria would be between the Port Arthur force and
I the force coming north from Corea
Gigantic moves in the direction of accomplishing this result have
been made

After vorapa of ten month IUt re

made the Icebound harbor of New York
today flvo months overdue only to be

Although the big hip was almost a

Tnir Gould Not Help Her
The Juteopolls arrived at the bar at i
oclock lest Sunday afternoon und after
being buffeted about by huge cakes of
Ice that lllletl the channel summoned
to her nsalitance the great tug John
Hushes But the tug struggled In vain
agnlnst wind and tide to draw the bark
over the bar Olio tried Iguln 011 Mon
day with tlio tame success On Tues
day and Vdnediy the fight was con
tinued but battle us the tUg might she
could not overcome the drifting Ico
which gripped < the ship in Its embrace
This piornlng after a favorable

When off the Caroline Islands the

as If chained to the bottom
Week after

Two months had paused before she

up a small lilind Inhabited as far as
captain or crew could inuelc out by
savages of cannibalistic tendencies
I dont knoW the < mime of this
Island said Cap Curl today but It
fairly swarmed wlth the most evil
looKinc human beings 1 ever net my
eyes on These savages put out from
shore in canoes and made after us as
we drirttd about In the tides now and
then picking upa little breete which
however kept ve y4ng around no that
we could not for tho life of us shake
that t > esky bit of jland
lure They Were Cannlbnli
For twelve daii we waltzed about
that Island pursued by swarms of
canoes The dtrages that filled those
little boats ciuld easily have poured
themselves onto the ship and over
whelmed usi but somehow they were
afraid of url
We burned all sorts of strange lights
and made ill manner of strange sounds
to keep uy this scare and the toot of
our foghorns and our nightly pyrotech
nics answered the purpose All say
this Islatd was strange to me and I
never rfinember selng It on any chart
I am Irthey were cannibals for they
