Only a few merchants remain at the former place. The Japanese authorities at Tokio have no confirmetion of a reported engagement between Russians and Japanese at Kwisung. They have, however, received advices from Seoul that the Japanese supply steamers are safely entering the estuary of the Yaln River and are landing their cargoes at various points on the Korean shore. It is presumed here that the movement of these supply steamer* is covered by Japanese gunboats. If this is true, the Russian forts erected upon the Chinese side of the Yalu River are evidently not effective. According to reliable Korean reports the American mines at Upsan ?nd the English mines at Gwendolen are safely guarded by detachments of Japanese troops. Refugees who have arrived at Shanghai from Korea assert that the fear that the Japanese may land at Possiet Bar (in Manchuria, about 65 miles southwest of Vladivostok) is causing a general exodus inland.
