TOKIO. March 9. Japanese warships
bombarded the forts at Talten Wan (Port
Palny) on the night of March 8 and then
attacked Port Arthur.
It Is reliably asserted that when the Jap

ing to' re-enter the harbor, struck a mine
and sank. Of the thirteen Russian war
ships Inside ihiv iiarbor. of Port Arthur, It

Jap Forces in Mauchnrla.
WA8H1NOTON, Maroh 9 The govern
ment hero has received advices by cable
from Che Foo, opposite Port Arthur, to the
effect that Japanese land forces have ap
peared at Fung Wang Chang and at Ta
shan. No details are furnished. The first
named place Is about forty-five miles north
of Antung In Manchuria, and the latter Is
a few miles Inland from the mouth of the
Talu river, according to tho calculations of
the naval officers here. They believe that
this movement has placed the Japanese on
the Russian flank and perhaps In the rear
on their line of communication. It Is be
lieved that yesterday's attack upon Port
Arthur was a diversion perhaps to cover
the expeditious land movement of the Jap
anese forces who were probably landed
from transports some point west of the

Awaiting Xervs from Vladivostok.
TOKIO. March 9. (Tuesday, March 8.)
It Is Relieved hare that there has already
been a decisive, naval engagement In the
Vicinity of Vladivostok and tidings of It
are anxiously awaited. The Japanese fleet
did not. It Is said, go to Vladivostok for
the purpose of bombarding the town, but
to looate and attack the armored cruisers
Gromoboi, Rossla, Rurik and the cruiser
Bogatyer, the Russian fleet stationed there.
It Is understood that when the Japanese
fleet arrived there on Sunday last It found
ths Russian squadron absent. If this Is
true It gave the Japanese squadron ad
vantage In the way of avoiding battle close
to the Inshore batteries, at the same time
putting It In a position to prevent the
Russian ships re-entering the harbor.
It Is doubted that the Japanese with
drew their entire squadron unless the loca
tion of the enemy had been discovered, as
It meant surrendering the advantage of
being In a position between the enemy
and the enemy's base. There la a strong
possibility that the Japanese found the
Russlsn ships in the vicinity of Posselt
bay and gave them battle there. The
names and number of shlps'ln the Japanese
squadron have been kept secret, but It
Was probably sufficiently strong to divide
into two divisions, the one to Vladivostok
and ths other to cruise In search of the
Russian ships. It Is said ths newly pur
chased cruisers, Nlsshln and Kasaga, are
taking part In the present movement off
Vladivostok.
The Navy department expects to re

greatly alarmed. The back water has
made Its way up into the business sertion
of the city. The press rooms of the news
papers are flooded and It was with diffi

in tho press rooms.
The people living in the low lands who
remained In their homes, thinking ths
worst was over, hud to be rescued today
by the police In boats. The water en
tirely surrounded their houses and, as
there was danger that they might topple
over, the authorities Insisted that they be
vacated.
Practically the same conditions prevail
all along the river as fsr as Psnvllle,
fifty miles below here, and the loss to
property will bp greater than that sus

along the river front hns escaped. At
