Neither Report Can Be Confirmed,
But the Details of the Fight for
Port Arthur Are Given.
Report That Port Arthur Was
Occupied After Land and
Sea Attack.
RUSSIANS LOSE 600 IN SHARP EN-
COUNTER AT CHYONGSYONG.
London, March 22.The Tokio cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph has
cabled his paper that it is reported
that the Japanese have occupied Port
Arthur.
Port Arthur fell, according the re
port, after a combined land and sea
attack Saturday and Sunday. It is
asserted that a Japanese division
landed on Liaotung peninsula Satur
day and engaged the Russian force
near Port Arthur, while the fleet bom
barded continuously from Saturday
evening until Sunday morning.
The same correspondent reports a
sharp encounter at (-hyongsyong, on
the Yalu river, about thirty miles
northeast of Wiju, in which the Rus
sians lost 600 killed and wounded.
Neither report is confirmed from
either source.
GERMAN RESIDENTS WARNED.
Consul Says They Remain at New
chwang at Their Own Risk.
Newchwang, March 22.The Ger
man consul from Tientsin, at a meet
ing of German citizens, counseled all
residents of that nationality that they
remained at Newchwang at their own
risk and that in event of loss of prop
erty recovery was doubtful.
Also that in the event that Russia
was defeated the recovery of losses,
if possible, would only be after a long
time, but if Japan was defeated recov
ery would be sooner.
The British residents propose to pro
test against the indefinite, absence of
& warship from Newchwang.
RUSSIANS MAKE A DASH.

or norse aruiiery, made a dash on tuc
Japanese line between Pingyang and
Wiju. They opened fire on the out-,fairly
posts, but Japanese reinforcements
were hurried forward and the Russians
quickly retired.
The report states that the Japanese
force merely deployed into line of bat
tle, but that it did not reply to the
Eussian fire.
JAPAN MA ISSUE BONDS.
Party'Leaders Oppose Government's
War Tax Plan.
Tokio, March 22As a result of a
series of conferences between the
party leaders it seems evident that
the government will abandon its at
tempt to create a salt monopoly, place
a tax on silk and also make a smaller
increase in the land tax than orig
inally proposed.
The members of the cabinet are
holding a series of conferences with
the party leaders, who have been ex
plaining how the interests of the peo
ple they represent are affected by the
war tax. The cabinet is endeavoring
to frame measures which will prove
satisfactory to the people.
There is a growing feeling that the
government should not attempt the
immediate payment of a large part of
the cost of the war by taxation, but
that it should issue bonds and extend
the payments over a series of years.
READY FOR HOSTILITIES.
Japs and Russians in Force North of
Anju.
London, March 22.Dispatches to
the Standard from St. Petersburg say
40,000 Russians are stationed along
the Chengchungyang river, north of
Anju, where a similar number of Jap
anese are reported to be posted.
Japanese movements arc being
closely watched by the Cossacks.
The first important action is expect
ed to occur in this locality and it is
declared the Russians will win owing
to the superiority of their cavalry.

RUSSIAN MILITARY PLANS.

Coast at Vladivostok.
Vladivostok, Match 22.- The Rus
sian military plans are proceeding
satisfactorily along the main coast
ami at Sakalin island. Many inhabit
ants continue to migrate to Khaba

and children are returning to Russia.
The first detachment of the Red
Croas from Russia has arrived and has
been distributed among the field hos
pitals: More than a hundred nurses
have been sent from here to Manchu
ria and Korea.
The delivery of Russian mails to the
frontier and to the ports is working
well arid the telegraph excellent
ly. J.etters reach Vladivostok twenty
two days after leaving St. Peters
burg. FEAR TROUBLE WITH RUSSIA,
Chinese Officials at Peking Send Fam
flies South.
London, March 22.Dispatches to
the Standard from Tientsin say high
officials in Peking are quietly sending
their families south. Many seem to
anticipate difficulties with the Rus
sians. The latter's relations with Chl:
nese in Manchuria are not improving.
The Chinese government has forbid
den the officials and people of Man
churia to sell any supplies to the Rus
sians.
The fact that the Japanese, haw
made no attempt to cut the lines of
communication between Liaotung and
Newchwang surprises military men.
DECORATED BY KOREAN RULER.
Marquis Ito and American and Japan
ese Ministers Honored.
Seoul, March 22.Marquis Ito has
been decorated with the Order of the
Plum Blossom, usually given only to
royally. United Slates Minister Allen
and Japanese Minister Hayashi have
received decorations of the first class
of Pai Kuk. Mr. Allen's decoration
was conferred in recognition of his
valuable counsel and long intimacy
with the emperor.
Marquis Ito, in an audience with the
emperor, urged the gradual adoption
of Korean reform measures, thus
avoiding the confusion due to the pre
cipitate measures of 1895.
