That Brunswick business people are

evidenced by the fact that lirohstou,

Toklo. Feb. 2 i --The movement to In**
vest has begun in earnest
tmd a strong mese force is now en '
Ante toward- byudu with Ute_pur
pose not only < vtlug off viadivos--
tok from concr ".catkin either by
tail or wire from the Russian base at
1 arbin but of eati Mishlng a Japanese
Jir.se from which the rear of General
Kuropalkin from Mukden may -be con
sianlly threatened and if possible out
i'IT. Japan in this movement already
Las put forth between CO.UUU and'7s,-
’OO men, a nur.iber of whom w f ere with
Nogi at for< Arthur. They are now
ready for Han jort to Possiet Bay and
mid another to.Ouo men who will be
pushed forward to suport this move
ment as ra 'v as possible.
It is the purpose of the general staff
i'i cut off Vladivostok from sea as well
as from the land. For this purpose a
squadron consisting of three armored
cruisers and a number of smaller
crafts have been sent to Hakodate and
will use that, port as a base for the
blockading opeiationa.
The latest advices from Manchuria
indicate that Marshal Oyama has sue
needed it; repulsing every effort
made by the Russians to break
through his lines aud that a general
advance on the part of Japanese will
toon be made. The best opinion here
'•s that Oyama s attempt to crush Ku
ropatkin will not bj made until he has
been infoijjfc! that the column now
Advancing tßlnst NiuguCa has ocou
led that place and cut off cu-mmuni
cation between Harbin and Vladivos
tok. The report that the czar hart
tailed his ministers together to con
sult on peace terms has made no Uif
f.rence in the Japanese plans.
It can he said authoritatively that
no advances have been made by Rus
sia looking toward peace and until
v.ueii advance; are made Japan will
continue her war preparations just as
though peace was not possible. The
. ar has been financed for another
year ,so Japan is fully equipped both
i: men and money for hostilities until
the spring of 190 C. No doubt is felt
here as to the ability of Japan to tt
i.ance the war for as long as Russia
is willing to be beaten in the held.
