THE LANDJORCES
JAPANESE GETTING READY TO
MOVE FORWARD.
ARE AFTER RUSSIAN POSITIONS
Military Experts Believe Japan's Next
Effort WIN Be on the Land Prepar
ations that Must Be Made Before
the Army Can Go Forward.
LONDON. (New York Herald Ca
blegram.) Gamo Is mado by somo
English papors of tho published re
port that tho Vladivostok Bquadron
has put to sea and captured a small
Japaneso merchant steamer off tho
northern const of Japan. This is sar
castically called a brilliant exploit, but
tho Important fact Is recognized to bo
that tho Vladivostok squadron is now
located. General opinion hero is that
it cannot achieve anything of conse
quence. Military and naval experts hero
agree wltn tho impression reported to
prevail in New York that the Japaneso
aro already prepared to move in force
on tho Russian position on the Yalta
It Is questioned first of all whether
the whole story of tho concentration
of any considerable Russian army on
tho Yalu Is not a mere myth. In that
case It mny bo that tho Japaneso will
find It worth their while to brush
aside, with a division rapidly pushed
forward to the scene, tho Russlnn
troops which presumably cover a con
siderable accumulation of stores such
ns It may be well worth while either
to seizo or destroy. This would how
ever, not bo a serious advance for de
cisive nctlon ngalnst the Russlnn army
as such, but only a maneuver for the
ndvantago of position nnd to hamper
Russian movements by destroying tho
stores on which they had calculated
for their large forces. Previous to
any advance of tho Japanese army for
dcclsivo action. If they aro In the
prcsenco at this point of really for
midable Russian forces, there must bo
a vast accumulation of ammunition,
both for artillery and infantry. There
must be a collection of Immense quan
tities of medical stores nnd appli
ances. All these, besides food, must
bo gathered In convenient depots near
lo tho front.
Latest reports from the front Indi
cate that a battle on Innd Is expected
hourly. The Japanese hnvo massed
troops on the Yalu river, toward which
a Russian force is believed to bo
marching, and a second lino of defense
Is being formed between tho river and
Seoul, capital of Corea,
It Is reported that 200 of the crow
of the Russian ship Variag lost their
lives during the fight at Chemulpo.

TO SAVE BALTIMORE.
Prompt Action to Prevent L033 of
Trade Advantages.
BALTIMORE Tho scene in strlck
en Baltimore began to be visibly
clear Wednesday nfter n conferenco
between Mayor McLnno a. special
Joint committee of tho legislature and
n formidable dolegatlon of representa
tive business men. This conference
was arrancod with a view of meeting
In n practical way the awful exigency
which this community faces. At thU
meeting besides tho mayor thorc
wero present influential members of
tho stato law-making body, a dozen
bank presidents, former Governor
Smith, United States Senator-elect
Raynor and several of the leading cit
izens. Tho supremo question to bo decided
was that of calling on the national
government for soldiers to take tho
place of the two militia reglmont3
now doing duty In the burned dis
trict. The conntitutlon of Maryland
'requires that no such request bo made
of the president except by request ot
tho stato legislature. The legislative
committee was present and consulted
with the mayor and city officials on
that point. It wns shown that this
Is not a time for sentiment as to the
ability of tho stnte to take caro of it
self, and that the United States sol
diers were needed nnd needed at
once. On this score it was shown
that tho militiamen were already
much exhausted, and thnt the militia
on active duty is costing the stato
$50,000 a day.
Tho announcement of the legislative
committee that it would recommend
nt once the immedinte passage of the
resolution was received with pleas
tire by the officials and business mon
present.

This is What the Russians Arc
Charged with Doing.
LONDON Special dispatches from

ese troops nt Seoul, but beyond this
tho dispatches published in tho news
papers hero this morning add prac
tically nothing to the knowledge ot

The Tien Tsln correspondent of the
fatandard send3 in a report that th
Russians have mnscacred 100 Chinese
at Liao Yang, in consequence o!
-which tho officials nt Shan Hai Kwan

,have beon ordered from there lo Seoul
for the protection of the French lega
tion at tho Korean capital, the em
peror having taken refuge there.
These reports lack confirmation.

EXPECT A RUSSIAN ATTACK.
Where the Vladlvostock Squadron is
Believed to Bo Headed For.
WASHINGTON The best naval
opinion here credits the report that
tho Russian Vladlvostock squadron of
Tour armored cruisers hns left Vlad
ivpstock and it is believed that it will
attack tho two coaling stations on
the northern coast, of Japan,- In an
ticipation of this move the Japaneso
have several warships guarding these
points.
In Russian circles it Is believed thnt
tho municipal government or Vladl
vostock will be transferred to a near
by town, together with tho citizens,
and the entire place turned over to
tho army for use as a fortress.
From dispatches received hero it Is
thought the Japaneso will confine their
