Should the Japanese landed at Pitzwo begin a northward movement enough Russian trooiw. It ia said, are in the vicinity of Newchwang to hold the Japanese in check until conclusions have been tried with Kuroki. It Is not anticipated, however, that the Japanese will march northward, but It Is believed they will devote their energies to effect the fall of Port Arthur. The receipt of news at any time of a decisive battle near Peng Wang Cheng will not cause a surprise here, and already rumors are circulating in the city, which, however, lack verification and are believed to be untrue, that a battle has been fought, that the Jaita-nea- e have been defeated with havy toss and that General Kurupatkln was wounded.

The British press is London, loud in its expressions of admiration fur the brilliant Japanese strategy in dealing In rapid succession three great blows tbe battle of the Yalu, the sealing of rorl Arthur, and the landing at Pit wo and the development of these opening moves la awaited with the greatest interest. It Is believed to be not unlikely that the primary object will be an assault on Port Arlhu and an endeavor to capture the Russian fleet there. This- idea Is favored by Henry Silencer Wilkinson. In the Port, a journal generally well 'informed on Japanese a flairs. Other journals believe that the Japanese have been contented to plate a small forre as a mask at Port Arthur and will send their main forces from Pitzwo to with General Kuroki's army, in which case. If the Russian assertion that large reinforcements have been sent to Peng Wang Cheng Is true, a great land battle Is imminent there or at Liao Yang. It la believed that it is Japan's second army that landed at Pitzwo and the destination of the third army la still to be revealed. No further newa has reached London beyond belated dispatches from correspondents with the Japanese army on the Yalu detailing events preceding the recent battle. The Chronicle's Tokio correspondent asserts that simultaneously with the attack on Port Arthur the Japanese laid cables between one of the lslandH and the mainland as a protection to their landing place. The Telegraph's correspondent at Tokio says the nine sunken fireships at Port Arthur were laden with a mass of stone and cement. The correspondent of the Standard at Tien Tsln cables that Viceroy Alexleff has called on the Tartar general and all the officials at FVng Tien to quit that place immediately.
