GEN. KUROPATKIN is
STILL 1T LIAO-YANG

ST. PETERSBURG, June 7.-while it is
undoubtedly true that a very active Rus
sian force is operating on the Liao-Tung
peninsula in the hope of impeding and
possibly crippling the Japanese army COM
manded by General Oku. the number and
character of this force are shrouded i'm
mystery. Figures are freely handled about,
but il is impossible to ascertain the exact
facts. IL Is doubtful even IL the general
stafr is fully advised of General Kuropat-
kin's intentions.
According to accepted stories here Vice
roy Alexief insisted that Kuropatkin
should not leave Port Arthur TO its fate and
the advance of troops. the strength of
his pressure. But two things are certain
the strength of the main army at Lao
Yang has not been appreciably weakened
by the force sent south and the movement
was not ordered by Emperor Nicholas
The Associated Press is assured by n
member OF the Emperors suite that the
stories that the differences between Vice
roy Alexieff and General Kuropatkin on
this subject were referred TO the Emperor
who. in turn. submitted them to the cOun-
ell OF war. which agreed on the advisability
OF ordering advance. are absolutely
false. The Associated Press informant reit-
Grated the statement. eabled June g. that
the Emperor is not attempting TO impose
his views upon kuropathin. saying further
that the Emperor )nsidered that the milf
tary situation has distinctly improved from
the standpoint OF the future.

ST. PETERSBURG. June THE Grand
Duke Alexis, commander-in-chief of the
navy. according TO an apparently reliable
report, which, however, is not officially con-
firmed, has obtained the permission of the
Emperor to create third Pacific squadron
from the vessels of the Black sea fleet and
permission has already been obtained from
Turkey to take the ships through the Dar-

return This squadron will be composed,
according to the report, Of the battleships
Bostisev, Dvenadzat, Apostoloff and Tria
Sviatitelia and will be accompanied by tor
pedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers and
will sail for the far East simultaneously
with the Baltic squadron. The Associated
Press is unable to obtain any confirmation
of the report
LONDON, June 1.-The Foreign Office has
not received any request from Russia or
Turkey to agree to the passage of the Rus
sian Black sea fleet through the Darda-
nelles. II is pointed out that Turkey doubt
less would be delighted to get rid of Rus

warships through the Dardanelles would be
