A BIG RUSSIAN REVIEW
Probably Intended to Indicate Strength
at Port Arthur.

Port Arthur. Tuesday, Oct. 13.-The
review by the viceroy. Adj Alexieff. on
Sunday. of $4,000 soldiers participating
in the maneuvres, was the final act of
last weeks annual war game. This
force, the greatest Russia has ever con-
centrated in the Far East, was massed
OH the plains outside this city. 1t in
cluded infantry. cavalry and artillery.
Every infantry regiment is partly
mounted, in accordance with the recent
regulations. Foreigners were given
every opportunity to witness the dis
play and the statement of officers re-
garding the total force were verified by
count of the visiting experts. 1t was
also officially announced that the entire
force within easy operating distance of
Port Arthur numbers 100000 men. Two
months ago it was $4,000 men. Sum
days spectacle demonstrated that the
reinforcements arriving in Manchuria
had underestimate the real increase.
The army assembled Sunday was
lieved Russias entire force in Manchu-
ria to be. Officials here are taking pains
to advertise Russia's strength and pro-
claim that the maneuvres are intended
as an object lesson. Adj Alexieff speak
ing to an American official said:
War would be great calamity
Here we believe that the best way to
prevent it would be to strengthen our
selves as much as possible Therefore
we have left no steps untaken for that
purpose"
The details of the maneuvres were
kept secret but the correspondent of
The Associated Press learns that the
landing forces at Talienwan bay were
repulsed. 1t is reported that the attack
ing army broke through Port Arthur's
defences at three points.
Two battleships and two cruisers ara
on their way here from Russia. When
they arrive Russia's naval force on this
station will be stronger than Japan,s
according to the views of the Russian
officers.
Anticipation of war is at fever beo+
in the army and navy, but this is based
entirely on the activity of the prenara-
tions visible everywhere. The higher
officials believe that Japan is overa wod
by the demonstrations of Russs;a,s
power.
