BERLIN. Feb. 17.-The admiralty here
has received confirmation of the report that
the Japanese landing of troop on a large
scale are taking place on both of the
Corean northern consts and It Is stated
that Japan will be ready by spring for a
forward lond movement, supported by
properly equipped hasea. Possibly 260,000
men (according to the estimates made at
the German aimlralty) will be in the field
before a collision takes place with the Rua
l,s In force.
E;xptrt naval opinion' in Berlin Justified
the Japanese In landing before the Russian
fleet la destroyed, aa to watt until that
Is might mean a delay in the land opera
tlons for months, consequent on the
strengthening of Russia's forces. The ex
pectation expressed by a technical news
paper which reviews the situation, Is that
Japan probably will. In the beginning,
have .considerable land , successes through
hard fighting. What may happen after
the early period of the land operations,
no technical person ventures to predict In
writing, though it Is doubted If the Si
berian ralliwnd will be at all adequate to
reinforce and supply the Russian army.
Germans Discredit Report.
BERLIN, Feb. 17. The German ad
miralty . discredits the reporta that the
Japanese fired on the German gunboats
Han la. Thetla or any other German war
vessel In the' clsputed far eastern waters.
The Hanta Is at Taing Tau. and the Thetis
at Che Foo. ' The regular reports of their
movements to the admiralty make no men
tion of.suoh an lnoldent. It is added that
even if It happened. It Is 'assumed to have
been an excusable mistake.
The Marine Rundschau, tbe semi-official
publication of the admiralty has. Issued the
flrcl of a series of pamphlets designed to
koep German naval .officers informed as to
what la happening In the far east and ths
meaning thereof. ..After reciting the pre
parations on. both sides and giving profes
sional estimates of the Strength, of the
fleets, the Marine Rundschau says:
The Russians fired the first shot from
the Korlots, doubtless becailse the Japan
ese torpedo bouts were creeping nenr. The
Russian Port Arthur squadron relied too
much on protective nets, and obviously
was surprised. The commander made a
serious plunder '.n having two ships at
Chemulpo and cne at Che Foo (Shanghai)
separated from tho main body. If these
ships were sent to observe the Japanese
thev did It badly.
when the Japanese squadron withdrew
from Port Arthur February 10. the Rus
sians ought to have followed and kept In
touch with It by means of swift scouts
aa the Russian commander now is Ignorant
of where it went.
The conduct of the Russian ships In
retiring to cover In the inner harbor In
dicates that they will not again engage
the enemy at sea. In the harbor many of
the Russian guna will not be effective.
