News Travel. Slow in Far East.
NFW YORK. Feb. 12 ~~A careful
isiud,» of the reports that have reached
‘AIIIIIrIca and Europe from the East in
[II luding press despair-hes and communi-
lcutluns through official channels would
Iiudicate that but two actual conflicts
of any moment have so far occurred.
These are the Japanese naval attack
on Port Arthur on Monday night and
Tuesday morning and the affair at Che-
mulpo on Monday and Tuesday.‘ in
circles where knowledge of the condi»
lions in that part of the world allows
them to speak with accuracy. the var
ious reports of other engagements are
considered but echoes of these two
fights. News travels slowly in North
China. Cable and telegraph facilitiec
are very limited, and It Is evident. that
as reporis of the Port Arthur and Che-
,nIulpo affairs reach various points they
are promptly cabled by resident corres-
pondents, resulting in a natural con—
fusion of dates. The circumstantial
report of another engagement, sent by
|the Router Telegram Company from
:Tokio under date of February 10. pub
iiished in this country yesterday after
inoon. Is believed also to have referred
to the original Port Arthur attack.
news of which had just reached Tokio.
or that the ucspatch was delayed in
transmission. This belief ls strength-
ened by the fact that no official confir-
mation has been received of subse
quent engagements. and it is pointed
out that such official advices were re-
cIIivcd through the various embassies
at Washington promptly on the heels
of the press reports of the events of
Monday and Tuesday. The flood of
conflicting despatches from vat-Ion.-
North China points during the boxer
revolution is recalled. For this reason
the report cabled by the Tim Tsin
correspondent of thpI London Standard.
that a Russian fleet had bombarded
Hakodate is entirely disregarded. Nav-
III men in this country say that so far
as known. the only Russian vessels In
positiou to‘ make a move are those at.
Vladivostock. and that It cannot for a
moment he thought that .they would be

Important depot. even if they are free
from Ice and not blocked up by a Jap-

In view 'of the fact that there Is no ca-

China except by way of Shanghai. it
is to say the least Improbable that such

from St. Petersburg that the cable from
Vladivostok to Nagasaki, the telegraph
line from Seoul to Mesampho and the
telegraph line from Seoul t0 Wonsan
are. broken. limits communication with
Japan to the cables that alnd at Shang-
hai. which are under Japanese censor-
ship. This is additional reason to dis-
credit the vague reports of further en-
gagements.
