owing to the strong pro~Russlan

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.
HERMITS FAVOR RUSSIA.
Reports from Northern Korea
say the Koreans are showing a de-

Russians.
