day1-The position Of the opposing
armies is unchanged Yesterday the
Russian cavalry drove back the jap
anese outposts on the extreme left. in
turn retiring before detachment
OF Japanese cavalry. Desultory arttl-
lery fire continues and daily sniping
goes on between the infantry in the
trenches. Information regarding the
reason for delay in making further
movements is unobtainable-
Mukdel,, Oct. g8.--1'fe situation is
one OF greatest tension for the troops
on both sides. Kuropatkin and Oya-
ma seem to be watching each other like
hawks. It is impossible to tell which
! will make the first serious move. There
are occasional exchanges Of desultory
firing at outposts but nothing of great
Importance has transpired. On Sat-
urday night the Japanese made fee
BILE attempt upon Lone Tree hill, but
!. the attack was not pressed.
The Russians used several siege
guns, of great range on Monday, bonn
harding Japanese positions near
Shakhe. The Japanese replied with
Shimose shells. Chinese say that the
Russian FIRE destroyed three Japanese
field pieces
The Japanese have evacuated the
Ehakhe railroad station, but it and the
railroad bridge between the lines are
In the field Of the fire of both sides.
Although it is reported that there is
no activity on the Russian left flank
little is really known concerning the
situation there.
The Japanese movement from the
west along the railroad is reported,
but this has not been confirmed. The
general state of uncertainty breeds
many rumors. On Monday quite q
heavy artillery fire was heard vest
ward. Japanese prisoners say the cold
ness among their troops.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-The quiet
now prevailing at the theatre of war Is
considered to be only the calm before
the storm. There Is every indication
Of the imrninence Of resumption of
fighting on large scale as the proxi-
nifty of the two armies make it inn
possible for them to much longer defer
q renewal of the battle. It is regarded
as certain Kuropatkin has perfectly
free hand accorded him by his eleva-
ton to the post of chief
and that he is about to undertake an
offensive movement. Oyama Is reported
to be fortifying his whole line south
of Shakhe river, showing he is prepar-
ing to meet the Russian onset. In
yiceroy Alexieff's order announcing
Kuropatkin's appointment he takes
particular pains to inform the soldiers
and the world Of the marks of imperial
nounce that he will remain as viceroy.
The order is considered as virtually his
farewell address and that it will soon
be followed by his return to ST. Peters,
burg. His elimination as a factor in
the military situation has caused a
sigh Of relief.
