NO NEWS IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Russian Public In the Dark ms 10
Mnnchurinn situation.


ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 22.-There
is further delay in the receipt of decl.
sive news from the front The situa.
tion at Port Arthur remains a blank
though it is felt that important devel.
Opments may be even now occurring
there. The movements in the north
are still of a tentative and preparatory
character on both sides, which have
not yet crystalizcd into definite
clash of forces at any one point. \ re.
sumption of the Japanese advance is
now expected to occur any day.
II is the thirl week since the tight
ing at Liaoynng, and the Japanese
have had time 10 transport re-enforce-
ments from Yinkow and bring up suf-
ficient men to the front TO repIdce their
losses, but it is not improbable that
several days will intervene before the
armies come to close quarters. The in
terval is being devoted on both sides to
feeling out the strength and disposition
of the opposing forces.
The Japanese probably will attempt
to capture the passes of the Da noun
tain range, running halfway between
the Hun and Taitse rivers. The posses
sion of these passes is important for
the Japanese as II will not only enable
them to march northward. but also
screen the movements of their troops
from the prying gaze of the Russian
scouts.
