VIEWS OF MILITARY CRITIC.
No Big Battle Before End of Rainy
Season.

ST PETERSBURG, July 1-12:5O pm
The military critic of the Russ. who Is
usually well informed strongly opposes the
idea of a big battle before the end of the
rainy season He expresses the opinion
that the Japanese only wish now to assure
possession of the Liao-Tung peninsula. and
that their present objective is to capture
Kai-Chou which would compel the evacu-
alton of Niuchwang and permit landings on
the west coast.
The critic considers the movements of the
Japanese north across the Fen-Shui range
being simply diversion to facilitate the
taking of Kai-Chou, and he declares that
Kai-Chou will not be surrendered without
a fight. But. he adds. it will not have de-
cisve character The critic further predicts
that Gen. kuropatkin will adhere to his
plan to withdraw northward to his main
position at Liao-Yang. and await the end Of
the rainy season. He seems to assume the
success of the Japanese plan OF compl-
nation of the first and third japanese ar
mics and the isolation of the peninsula.

RAINY SEASON BEGUN.
Russian Forces Continue to Retire Be-
fore Superior Numbers.

LlAO-YANG. July 1.-The Chinese say
the real rainy season has begun. The roads
IN some places are absolutely impossible.
during the march of one division a man
was drowned and many others barely es-
capped a like fate. A number of horses
were lost in the swollen streams Ere
quent railroad washouts have increased the
difficulty of transport. However de-
cisve battle is still regarded as possible
within the next few days in the northeast
region between Hai-Cheng and kai-Chou,
where the armies of Gems. Kuroki and Oku
have concentrated.
The Japanese have retired from Dalin
pass. and are moving in a northeasterly
direction the Liao-Yang road They
have appeared in great force at F'en-Shui
and Molten passes. outfianking the Rus
sian positions The Russian eastern divi-
sions continue to retire before superior
numbers, but are keeping in close touch
with the enemy. 1t Is considered probable
that the combined forces of Kuroki and
Oku will concentrate at Hai-Cheng or Kai-
Chou and await the end of the rainy sea-
son. 1t soon will be impossible to send
troops through the passes from the noun
tains into the valleys.
