WAR, TN THE EAST.
From Tuesday's daily •---"The Jnp•
even ships are covered with ice," says
Alexieft in his report of the bombard
mein of Vladivostook. The ice covered
ships were hi evidence again yesterday,
it is no longer open to doubt that Vlad-
ivostok ie sealed up until that far off day
of the approach of the Baltic fleet. The
public, impatient if twentyfoue hours
pees without news of battle, scarcely
appreciate the tremendous work done by
the Japanese fleet ie the thirty days
eiooe hostilities began,. It has kept the
seas under aonditioae that meet have
caused terrible bardehin a to the Bailors.
0 r
Ontario i people, looking oat over oar
n
lakes wittheir huge buwmooks or shore
toe and their centres of stormy water,
can understand eomething of the' haudi•
cap Winter inflicts on naval operations in
iu Careen and Siberian waters. With
ice•oovered ships and balf.frozen men
Japan has made herself supreme on the
sea, leas shut up the R050ians in their
two Peoi80 fortresses, end has safely
escorted and landed in Oorea a greet
army. Now the ice is beginning to Meek
up end the Japanese will soon have but
one enemy to fight. Following upon the
retreat of Winter there will be much
more rapid progress on land and no doubt
some surprises at sera Japan will send
warships to occupy Neaohwavg the
moment the ioe goes out of the Liao
River. There is a Russian gunboat in
the river to be annexed also ae speedily
as it can be got at.
Nothing of importance comes from
Northern Corea to day except the report
that 2000 Russian cavalry ace retreating
toward :ha Yalu before Japan's advanoe.
It ie stated that Rseeia has landed a
ouneidornble force at Posetet Bay and
that the Vtadivoebok squadron has been
covering this operation. The story is a
rather impreboble one. The Tamen
River eoustitates the Northeastern
boundary between Oorea and Manchuria
and the only reason then RUSSIA oould
have for plaoing men there would be to
menace tthe small Jnpauese expedition,
that, landing farther South at Plaksio
bay, Is now crossing the moaotaiue with
the objeut ot getting is behind " Vlad-
ivostok and cutting the railway. The
Japaueae are aided by the natives of the
region, and with a good intelligence
thrviae it will be the easiest thing iu the
world to evade the Mashies. The
Vladivostok squadron would not remain
in Poasiet Bay for half a day after ite
discovery there, for it would be within
five hours' steaming of the blockading
Japaneseegnadron at Needivootok. The
evidence is aimed conclusive that tae
egaadron is either in port behind elle
guns of the Rneeian forts, or a long way
on its homeward trip to European
waters. • There is no safety for the
°misers in the Far East. '
Wednesday daily remarks- :—The
Daily Telegraph of London published
under a Tokio date line this morning a
statement Chet the Jopaness squadron
engaged the Rossetti V adivostok squad
ron at sea off that port yesterday, and
that it is believed the Russian ships
were captured or destroyed. It is n very
good story as romance, but if it were
true the Japanese Government would
soaroely leave the announcement to a
Bribisb newspaper. No other London
journal ban the etory, and it is probably
a distorted rumor rsgardieg the bombard•
moot of Sunday. The Japanese Naval
Board have no doubt got the Vladivostok
squadron "on their list," but the story of
its destraation must be treated mean•
whale as something that may turn out
to be true. Should the report prove
aoourate it means very smooth selling
for Japan iu the transport of troops
aver sea,
The views of the military oorreepond-
ant of The 'Times, who has bbown a
remarkable grasp of the ,ibuetion in the
Far East, are very well worth reading
tate morning. He believes that Togo's
squadron had nothing to do with the
bombardment of Vladivostok, and that
the redoubtable Japanese Admiral will
