Though little or no news has so far tran- spired with regard to the plan of campaign adopted by Japan's generals with a view to attacking Russia's position in Manchuria, the official telegram, which, thanks to the courteousy of the Japanese Consul in this Colony we publish elsewhere in this issue, is a clear indication that the seizure of the Valu River will be the primary objective of the invading amy.

The first of the above telegrams has a special signification since it informs us that a blow has been struck by Japan's Army in its advance In the Valu River. The fact of
an engagement having taken place at Phyeng Yang, which is situated about 150 miles to the north of Seoul, goes far to prove that the advance of the Mikado's army is likely to be as expeditions and as well planned as was the attack of Japan's Navy on Port Arthur and the Russian feel.

But from a creditable Russian source we learn that the bussian government has no intention of getting out of its present Maud ur into

Furthermore, Japan wishing to safeguard her commerce, has ordered the kitsushing to enter the har bour to day and she is now lying at hang Hua Pang to see that Russian war-vessel does leave and, when the latter will have passed Chang Hua-Pang, the Ak truthina will move in the upper section of Wen-ung and the fisiang Ki ang in accordance with regulations.

Upon receipt of this noufication, I, with the Commissioner of Customs, went to call on the Japanese Consul General here relative to China's neutrality and the carrying out of the regulations of neutrality,
