The Latest.
JAPANESE MILITARY MOVEMENTS. Fragmentary Russian despatches of the skirmishes in Manchuria, and other advices, are interpreted to mean that some hundred and fifty thousand Japanese are deploying with a wide front running to the north east through Fengwangcheng. General Oko's troops are advancing to co-operate in a wide turning movement. A small containing force remains on Liaoyang Peninsula. THE MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSIGNS. An impression prevails that the re-opening of the railway to Port Arthur is due to the three days' gale delaying General Oko's complete disembarkation, necessitating the concentration of his landing forces at Pitsuwo. The explosions beard at Port Arthur were probably attempts to clear the fairway in the harbour. The mine transport Amar, when laying mines in the roadstead, Port Arthur, struck a mine and wias sunk. Twenty of those bn board were drowned. Five hundred Cossacks attacked Anju, fifty being killed. The Japanese had ten casualties. Fierce fighting lasted for 12 hours.
