THE WAR
THE TONGJU SKIRMISH.· Further details are now to hand, reports the Kobe Chronici, regarding the brush at Tongju which was undoubtedly the stiffest encounter yet experienced in Korea. According to a Chemulpo dispatch, at 10.40 on the morning of the 28th ultimo two officers of the Japanese cavalry scouts went out and searched the neighbourhood in the vicinity of the south gue of the city, while other scouts proceeded further round, and inspected the entrances to the town -loading from Wiju and Kak-san. Returning to the Japanese camp, the first mentioned scouts reported that the enemy was advancing. The report bad hardy been handed in when the Russian forces were observed on a hill, pro- ceeding from the direction of Karan. Some of the Japanese scouts had already exchanged s with them, and the cavalry galloped to within Aring range at all possible speed. The Russians, observing their approach, fired; but, regardless of the shower of bullets, the Japan ese pushed forward and made a united re- sponse to the enemy's fire when at a point 300 metres south of Tungju. After some furious firing the Russians retired to the other side of the hill, the Japanese pursuing them and discovering that they had taken up their position just outside the wall of the city. Finding that the Russian force was considerably greater than the Japanese, the assistance of the infantry was requisitioned, and subsequently about fifiy cavalry, supporte by aliout seventy infantry, attacked, causing the enemy to gradually retire, some retreating towards Wiju and others in the direction of Kak-san.. The Japanese cavalry

kept on full steam ahead until a secondi blank shot was fired--when she stopped. Immediate ly she stopped many persons from the steriler were making their way to the towed barge with the idea evidently of breaking loose from the steamer and making good their escape.
celog this, the Vinimaalin lowered a hot at once, which, under Midshipman Pini, was despatched to inspect the junk while the orpedo-boat herself went towards the Hanyen Mar and brought her in tow to the cruiser Novik,
The Commander of the Novik' with several officers accordingly proceeded to inspect their prize. At the same moment the boat lowered from the Vinimabelin returned with 4 Japan ese prisonerna quantity of telegrams etc. Upon searching the Hunjen Maru several Japanese and Chinese were found, besides sundry papers, charts, signal books, wireless telegraphy instrument, etc. two torpedos (self- explosives.) After conveying all the people to the Novik it was found that one of the Chinese was in reality a Japanese in Chiness costume with a false queue. Upon the conclusion of the inspection the commander of the Nevik left several of his own crew on board, and took the vessel in tow with the idea of returning to Port Arthur with the prize. After proceeding several miles the towing lines parted. The Commander of the Novik then decided that in view of the slow speed of the steamer it would not be advisable for her to proceed herself Towing being in case the enemy was met. impossible, orders were given, after taking off the crew and men, to sok the ship. This was accordingly done. The whole fleet then form. ed up in order and returned to Port Arthur

of two dead, being carried away by an effort of smart horse anship which was not a little admired by the Japanese.
At 7.30 the Japanese wore mustered, all the dead and wounded had been carried away, and everything was in order, a distinct success having been attained. Had it not been for the serious obstruction caused by snow, which made infantry marching very difficult, the Japanese forces would have pursued the enemy still fanher: but, as they would no doubt be reinforced on reaching the other side of Fongju, it would have been useless for the small body of cavalry available to attempt to overtake them alone.
We have already given particulars of the casualties in this engagement, the Russians, according to the offical report, having lost fifteen killed and wounded, and the Japanese seventeed. No mention is made in this account of the subsequent occupation of Tongju by the Japanese.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE OCCUPATION
OF FORT ARTHUR
(Novi Kni, 30th March). After the usual church service, a parade con- sisti g of pans of several regiments was held on the grounds adjoining the church in com- memoration of the sixth year of the occupation of Port Arthur. Colonel Gandurio commanded the parade, whilst the band of the 15th East Siberian Sharpshooters Regiment contributed
the music.
Amongst those present were the chief of the P... Kinchow Any Division as also i ieut.
General Stesse),
After receiving the report from the parade commander, and the parade present was pu through a few movements, Lieut. Gener 1 Stessel approached the forces and said :-
To-day exactly six years ago, the Russ an flag was boisted by Prince Vladimirovich op the Golden Hill, who at the present montent is again amongst us serving on the fleet of the Pacific Ocean. Port Arthur was occupied by the 9th East biberian Sharpshooters' Regiment without a single shot, and now after six years of hardship in constructing the forts, town etc., we find ourselves obliged to defend the place against a neighbouring county who wish to take it out of our hands. Not imagining for a single moment that they will ever accomplish this, I am convinced that the flag is there to stay even in the event of another war. We now congratulate our Emperor (this was immediately followed by "burraha" which 'prolonged till the order was given to stop). "Men, I have already said that the flag was hoisted by Prince Vladunirovich, who is at the present moment again with us in the fleet fighting in the battle. We wish his Royal Highness Ing lite and prosperity (Cries again of prolonged 'horrah"}
After this Lieut.-General Stesset read to the parade a telegram received from His Highness Viceroy Alexeieff in which the Viceroy con- gratulated Lieut-General Stessel and his forces for the sixth year of occupation of Port Arthur
(cries of "hurrak ")
After this Lieut-General Stessel said, "On the theatre of war, has arrived the commander of the Manchurian forces, General Adjutant Kuropatkin under whom, I don't imagine for a single moment, we will not be able to stand against our for should they ever come to us. For congratulating General Adjutant Kuropat- kin (cries of "hurrah.")

The River police fired on a Chinese junk in the river at about 1.30 a m., killing two and wound- ing two of ber crew. It is stated that the junk was breaking the harbour regulations. She was simply crossing the river to take some merchants out of the range of the guns.

scot armaments only consist of one or two old
siege guns captured from the Chinese at Port Anhur, the fort cannot be ragarded as a serious obstacle. Most of the field artillery is also non. effective in point of calibre, and would be our classed in range and fire by the more modera guns of the Inpanese army.
Possibly owing to the gener. feeling prevail ing among the Russians that Newchwang would be attacked by the Japanese as soon as the river was free of ice, many of the trenches and earthworks have been constructed on flats which are submerged by spring tides, couse- quently if the Japanese delay operations much longer the majority of these defences, will, in all probability, be demolished by the sea.
The lightship, buoys, and all marks indicating the channel to the port have been removed, and mines have been prepared to protect the entrance of the river.
Orders have been issued requiring steamers take on board pilots on leaving and entering the ports. A notification has also been issued by the Russian authenties to the effect that ali men-of-war or merchant vessels without lights during the night or flags during the day or fail- ing to hoist these after a warning by gunfire, will be considered enemies and sunk accor-1. ingly.
There are still four or five steamers at New-
chwang taking in cargo and the beancake factories are working day and night in order to make use of these vessels. The Chinese have solicited the various shipping companies to send further steamers, but it is extremely doubtful whether auy tnore will call there.

With Germany slowly drawing her meshes over the Shan-tung peninsula, we cannot afford to shelve the question of We hai-wei.

COAL EXPORT TO RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Mr. G. Balfour, replying to Sirt. Knowles, in the House of Commons said.The quantify of steam cral exported to Russia during 1903 was 2,045,48 › lons, and to Japan +8,921 tons.
