EASY VICTORIES FOR THE JAPS. By Telfjiaph.—Press Assn.—Copyright London, April 12. The Tokio correspondent of the Daily Express says that the Russians are showing 110 heart for fighting in Siberia. The Japanese, although inferior in numbers, are gaining easy victory, and have secured complete control of the maritime province of Siberia. Japanese newspapers continue to denounce the campaign as a militarist adVenture. Details from Vladivostock show that the Japanese coup was made on the pretext of Russian attacks. Tlie Japanese made the whole city a battle-ground, and carried out a military demonstration lasting for eight hours, rifles, ma-chine-guns and artillery firing in all directions- Two Czechs and 50 Russians were killed, and thousands taken prisoner. The prisoners were tied with ropes to Koreans and marched through the principal streets. '' Foreign eye-witnesses declare that there is no evidence of provocation. The former dislike of the Japanese ha 3 become an intense smouldering hatred, certain to lead to further outbreaks.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
