RUSSIANS SAY IT WAS
A BRILLIANT MOVE.
Not Defeated at All, But Just Whar
They Intended All Along.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 2, 1:25 p. M
No absolute information has reached
the War Office confirming the reports
that Lao Yang has been occupied by
the Japanese, but it is positively known
that Gen. Kuropatkin decided to with
draw from his positions north of Lao
Yang to the north or right bank of the
Taitse river Tuesday night and the or
ders were actually given, as stated in
these dispatches yesterday. The War
Once presumes that the movement
was carried out, since the latest ad-
vices yesterday were that the crossing
of the river was not being opposed.
The fact, disclosed for the first time
in these dispatches last night, that the
strongest Russian position prepared bv
Gen. Kuropatkin was not around the
town of Lao Yang, as the public had
been led to believe. but on the right,
or north. bank of the Taitse river, was
a secret so successfully guarded that
not even an intimation of it had leaked
cut. 1t is now explained that the Rus
sian commander-in-ch had all along
anticipated that the Japanese, when
they made their advance on Liao Yang,
would pursue the identical tactics
which had been so successful in every
previous stage of the campaign, and
while attacking in front, would at
tempt by wide detour to outfiank the
Russian position.
This time Gen. Kuropatkin was not
caught mapping. He was prepared for
just what happened, and as soon as
he received word that Gen. Kuroki
had crossed the Taitse twenty miles
above Lao Yang and was moving
westward, Kuropatkn met the move
by throwing his whole army over at
night. BY this piece of strategy Ku-
ropatkin. in the opinion of the general
staff, gained an immense advantage.
His army is centered on one side of
the river and the road is still open for
his retirement northward, while the
Japanese armies, which must act in
unison, are separated by the river,
which places Kuropatkin in a position
to oppose kurok with his whole army
while Gems. Oku and Nodzu are
stranded on the other side, which gives
Kuropatkin a possible opportunity to
initiate Napoleon's tactics and defeat
the opposing force in detail.
1t is understood that throughout the
fighting of the last few days Kuro-
patkin's main reserves did not leave
their position on the right bank of the
river.
The report that telegraphic commu-
cation between Lao Yang and Muk-
den has been severed is admitted at the
War Office, which points out that it
has only been receiving two kilograms
daily from Gems. Kuropatkin and
Sakharoff. Two were received yes
terdav.
The absence of press kilograms is

They Think He Is Able to Cope With
the Japanese.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 8, 3:19 a. M
The text of the dispatch sent to the
Emperor by Gen. Kuropatkin Thurs
day evening, the gist of which, as Civ
en- out by the War Office, was cabled
by the Associated Press at 1850 o'clock
Friday afternoon, was not made pub
lie Friday night as expected. 1t was
promised to the local press and was
awaited with feverish impatience until
2 o'clock this morning when it was an
nounced that it would be issued to-
day. All the news, therefore. as far
as st. Petersburg is concerned, is con-
tanned in kilograms from foreign
sources. and there is painful suspense
awaiting news from Russian sources.
Continued and logged confidence in
Gen. Kuropatkin is expressed in many
quarters, and the public generally, as
well as many of the military officers,
absolutely refuse to believe that Lao
Yang has been abandoned, or if il has
been abandoned, that Gen. Kuropatkin
is now i'm "A better position to make a

patches yesterday, by the transfer of
the head telegraph Office at Lao Yang
to Shakhe, fifteen miles north. which
was necessitated by the fact that the
offices, although the Office was situated
on the north bank of the Taitse river.
A shell killed two operators Monday.
The field telegraph. which is working
between Shakhe and Kuropatkin's
headquarters, is not available to cor
respondents, who would have to send
their messages by express riders to
Shakhe, a difficult task owing to the
heavy roads.

other work of the quartermaster's de-

1t is said that the service will be en-

seriously interfered with the work of

is not unlikely that Col. Glenn will be

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-The United
States have protested to Russia against
the seizure of the cargo of the British

protest follows the lines of the case
of the Portland and Asiatic Line
