weather, coincident with typh0oos of
the coast, until March. The tempera-
ture now is below freezing. THE in
habitants of leaky huts are in a pitt

The war has reached such q phase
that the interest in small skifmishes
Is very slight. Everyone has, been
looking for a big battle, but though
reinforcements continue to arrive. and
both sides continue to entrench, a
general engagement apparently is as
far off as ever. No one now dis
cusses the subject. 10 ::
A number of commanders are drill
ing their men as in time of peace.
More interest is expressed here in
the fate Of Port Arthur and it's ability
to hold out against the Japanese than
in what is happening at close quar-
ters.
There have been the usual small
skirmishes. Vilimanstrnski's sharp
shooters took Japanese advanced po-
sition Saturday, driving out the Japa-
uese al tne polHI OI Tie Udyouet. lie
latter left twenty dead, and the Rus

attacked the Russian lines at sey-:
eral places, taking advantage Of a
snow storm on one occasion. but in
all cases were repulsed.
The village of Erdago continues to
be the scene of frequent small fights.
The Japanese made tentative attack
there OH Nov. Is. but did not at
tempt to push home the attack in the
