Japan's Landing Party Reinforced

(Continued from page 9)

Maru, express steamers of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, which arrived within thirty minutes of each other yesterday afternoon. Both are to sail to-morrow, the first for Nagasaki'and Kobe, the second for Nagasaki only.

Very few passengers disembarked. But on the wharf was one of the greatest piles of passengers' baggage and household effects the wharf has known. Every bit of available sheltered space seemed to be packed high with kit bags, gunny bags, Suiteases, trunks, crates, boxes and baskets, and more seemed to be arriving every moment. Both vessels are to sail for Japan at 9 o'clock this morning.
