Har Hospital Train, Finely Fitted Up, _ Started for the East Yesterday. ‘ St. Petersburg cable - The Empress hospital train started on its journey to the far east to-day. Among those at the station to witness its departure were Grand Duke Michael STa-iii'iiriiiiu,' the heir presumptive, and Duke Peter of Old- enburg. the Emperor's brother-irlmv. The train is the finest railway hospital ever constructed. It consists of two sections, the first composed of fourteen ambulance cars fitted with every appli- ance for the comfortable transportation of the ill and wounded. There are two operation cars. supplied with all hem-sai- ties, capable of instant cleansing, disin- fectants, stores, instruments. bdndngea, and adjustable operating tables. These cars are intended to be detached from the train am: sen: to various points, wherever they will be of the most use, along the line. A - . i From the best information obtaina. ble it is learned that the Japanmsehave landed near Kinehau and are advancing along the railway to Port Arthur. Those thatlanded at Pitsewo are travel- ing down the east side of the peninsula, and those that landed at Takushan are going to reinforce the Feng Wang Chang army. The advance of the Japanese indicat- ed that they have recovered from the reported reverse at Kinehau. The Itus. sians at Talienwan have prepared to de- stroy the town upon the arrival of the Japanese. The Russian plan is to have the troops on the Lino Tung Peninsula fnll back to Port Arthur after harass- ing the invaders.

The result of the battle was not learned by the bearers of the news. _ Newspaper Correspondents.
