Only personal permits signed by M. Terauclii, Min- ister of War, wi'l be recognized. None has yet been issued. The cen- sorship has not been relaxed. The reports of Uussian movements in Northern Corea continue to bo con- flicting, but the most reliable infor- mation indicates that none except scouts have crossed tbe Yalu River.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Telegraph mentions a re- port "that despite official assurances lh,:\t overvthing is quiet, an outpost engagement has occurred on the Yalu River, resulting in tho Ru.ssian ad- vance guards being driven back. The losaeu afe estimated at 2,500. It is not clear wnether this llgure means tho.so who fell on the Yalu or the cn- tirn Uussian losses since tlie com- inencoirii^nt of the war. There hare been for days ugly ru- mors of Uussian mishaps on land. NO SHIPS DAMAGED. Tho reports from various quarters •aying that Admiral Togo's fleet was partly crippled in the operations at Port Arthur are unfounded, says a Tokio despatch. It was unnecessary to send a single large ship to Sasebo for repairs. Two torpedo destro.yvrs have been damaged, but not in light- ing. The Akebono in attempting to coal from a collier during a .stoVm collided with the Oboro. disabling her machinery . lloth wore sent to Sasebo for repairs, which will be crations, LAKE BAIKAL DISASTER. According to a despatch received at Vienna, the Russions have met with another disaster on Lake Baik- al. Two regiments of Uussian pion- eers and one of railway guards have been drowned.

The German Admiral l.v has received confirmation of the reports that Jap- anese landing operations on a vast scale are taking place on both of Corea's northern coasts, and it is assumed by the German authorities that Japan will bo ready by early Spring for a forward land movement supported by properly equipped bas- es.

It is as follows: 'Eight clays have not olapeed since all Russia was shaken with profound iudignatiuu against uii ciiotu.v who suddenly broke ofl negotiations; and by a treacherous attack, endeavored to obtain an easy sviccoss in a War long desired. The Rtissian nation, with natural inipatiouce, desires prompt vengeance, and awaits, fever- ishly, (lews from tlic Far East. "Tho utility and strength of Russian people leave no room Japan will receive she deserves for JAPANESE SAILORS. One great advantage the Japanese navy has of inosLiuiable value. There tho battleship squadron, tho armored crui.scr squad- ron and the cruiser squadron. For Qipnths each. sc|uadron has been man- oeuvring hy itself, with frequent grand manoeuvres embracing the en- fare navy. At the naval station at Takoshiki. in Tsushima, 20 torpedo vessels have been practising in one flotilla. The result is that ' every officer of every vessel knows not on- ly what !iis own ship, will do under any given circumstances, hut also whp.t every other ^liii will do. That! intricate ajod, valuable Ijit of naval information,' tho helm angle of each ship, is a matter of common know- ledge.
