BIG ARMY LANDS IN KOREA.

Forty Thonsnnil Japs Said to Have Disembarked at Chemulpo. Cabling from Che-Foo, a correspondent of the London Morning Post says 40,000 moro Japanese troops have landed at Chemulpo and that he has received confirmation of the report that some Japanese have landed at Pigeon Bay, others at Talicn-wnn, and that an engagement occurred the night of Feb. 12. According to the London Standard’s correspondent at Seoul tho Japanese bombarded Port Arthur at intervals between Feb. 8 and 14, causing, however, only slight damage. The report is confirmed that seventy miles of railroad track and some important bridges have been destroyed between Harbin and Vladivostok. This will be a great advantage to the Japanese, as Vladivostok is known to be badly supplied and it, therefore, could not long resist a Japanese attack. There is still, however, no news of actual operations of any kind.
