Battle report NOT CREDITED thereto and are ready to carry out the next plan of their secretive commanders. To Captain Fushlml of the Third company of the Hiroshima regiment belongs the honor of the first occupation of Chongju by Japanese Infantry. The marvelous celerity of the Japanese soldiers on land has excited the unbounded admiration of the foreign officers in Ohenanpo. They were as quick as cats moving along the Peking road from Plngyang. Every branch of the army moved without friction, and the rapid'ty of the Infantry march on a fairly bad road to Anju, finishing on Friday night, has probably few equals In modern army maneuvers. Tho more timid of tfle native Koreans are fleeing south from the towns as the Japanese occupy them, fearful that the Russians will attack. There seems to be'no danger, however, of any battle In Korea, as the Russian patrols steadily retired north from Anju during the Japanese forward movement on Saturday to Chongju.

It is given no credence, however. The ice around Liao-Tung peninsula has not yet broken up, hence it would be impossible for the Japs to land a force on the peninsula sufficient to prove a serious menace to Port Arthur's rear.
