UNEASY FEELING.

Still an uneasy feeling prevails

owing to the strong pro~Russlan sympathy in both France and Ger- many. each of which is waiting to see what the other will do.

FIRST LAND ENGAGEMENT.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20.

-(Speclal.)-A despatch from Port Arthur says the iirst land en- counter occurred on Friday when a picket of Cossacks attacked a small detachment of japanese troops on Korean territory.

IT WAS A SMALL AFFAIR.

The Cossacks captured n few

Japanese prisoners. The collision was presumably between recon~ noitering parties.

Any general engagment is not

anticipated immediately, nor can a siege of Port Arthur be under- taken until troops in suflicient members are ready to land in the vicinity with siege_ guns and material.

Reports from Northern Korea

say the Koreans are showing a de- cidedly friendly attitude to the Russians.
