St. Petersburg. August 39.-The statement in these despatches last week that Sasoneh, the assassin of Minister of the Interior Won Plehve, had been sentenced to death proves to be incorrect. The question as to whether the assassin will be tried by court martial. or by civil court has not yet been decided. This is one of the questions that the new minister of the interior will have to pass upon, the fact that St. Petersburg is technically in a state of siege giving the minister this power.

PLANS OF KURoPATKIN

St. Petersburg. Aug. s0.--(1:6s a. m.) Even late tonight the greatest un- certainty prevails regarding the actual situation at Liaoyang. There Is intenss anxiety for definite news from the front but even the authorities are frankly ignorant as to whether or not ths long expected decisive action will be fought at Liaoyang or further north.
 It is possible that great battle is even now proceeding. and there are many indications that such ts the case. If this is so. the fate of this years campaign may be settled within forty eight hours. Many believe that Gen. eral Kuropatkin will not make q deter mined stand and that the Japanese will crack the shell only to find that the bird has flown.
 One of the Russian correspondents of the Associated Press says the fighting so far has been confined wholly to rear guard actions The Russian force is now concentrated in a series of ex- ceedingly strong positions around Lia- oyang. but the whole withdrawal was in accordance with a prearranged plan.
 It is certain that the armies are now in closest touch. The Japanese are ad- vancing in great force along both of the roads converging on Liaoyang. but the crucial question. whether 1t Is the main Russian army that Is concen- trated there to receive them. or merely a strong screen. has not been answered up to this date.
 Much depends upon the weather. It Is possible that the recent rains may have made General Kuropatkin's with drawal impossible even if he had de- sired to withdraw. or that further downpour may disarrange the plans of both sides, but the latest indications are that the weather and the roads are and should force rise of the curtain within twenty-four hours.
