Kurokl, with Lieutenant General Nishl and Lieutenant General Okubo in control of field operations. No estimate can be obtained from the war department of the number of soldiers in this branchy of the Invaders, but It is estimated that no fewer than 80,000 troops have crossed into Manchuria west of Samsu or are on the way. This indicates here that the main invasion will be on the west, through the gulf of Liaotung, and that General Kurokl's army corps will be used to threaten Mukden on the west and the rear of the Russian army, which now fronts on the lower end of the Tain A'J Italy and the Church of Rome.

In a message brought from Port Lazareff comes the news that the Japanese advance was Impeded on all the roads northwest of the Kom mountains by patrols of the enemy. The rommander at Vladivostok sent down 2,800 Cossacks late in February, who crossed the Tumen river at its junction with the Jujon, occupying Musan and making their way to the caravan roads commanding the passes from Korea to Manchuria. These Russian soldiers did not expect so large a force against them and were driven back at ull iDoints to the valley of the Tumen, on last Thursday they made a stand behind two fortifications built after the declaration of war. After a short defense between Samsu and Hyelsan the Russian patrols withdrew into Manchuria, and on last Friday the first two regiments of the Japiinese division camped west of the Yalu In the Tunghuasien valley.
