kUROpATKIN MAY
ASSUME OFFENSIVE
Russian General Has Army Strongly
EntrenChed at Mukden---Japanese
RemainInactive SdveForFrequent
Outpost Fighting.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 8.-The meager-
ness Of news from the front is increas-
ing the uncertainty regarding late de-
velopments. There is good warrant
for the belief that Kuropatkin Is
strengthening his left flank to met the
japanese turning movement; troops
now occupying the triangle from Fu-
shan to Mukden and Tie Pass. Over
800 guns have arrived at the front and
the activity of the Russian skirmishers
below the Hun River creates the inn
preston that Kuropatkin may contem'
plate assuming the offensive.
Circum.Baikal Railroad About Com
pleted.
st. Petersburg, Oct. S.-General Rid
zovsky, under secretary of the interior,
has been appointed chief of the Gen
darmerie, which is virtually divorced
from the ministry of the interior, al
though nominally under its control
The municipality of st. Petersburg has
decided to care for the relatives OF the
soldiers at the front who are in dis
tress. Prince Hilkoff minister of rail
roads, has arrived here after spending
three months personally superin-
tending the construction of the Cir
cum-B -Baikal Railroad. He says the
whole Siberian line is working perfect
ly. The Circum-B -Baikal branch is open
for freight traffic, but passengers are
still crossing the lake in ferry boats,
that being the shortest route, the fer
ry boats taking two hours to steam
across about thirty miles, whereas the
trains take four hours to cover the rail-
road route around the lake, about 70
miles. Work is still proceeding night
and day on the Circum- -Baikal road,
electric light being used at night,
so as to have the line in complete order
before the lake freezes over.
Long War Is Predicted.
st. Petersburg, Oct. S.-Replying to
the statement Of Count Okuma, leader
OF the Progressive Party, that war with
Russia will be long, but Japan would
win in the end, the Novoe Vremya
today declares that the idea of pos
sible compromise with japan has been
abandoned and it must be prosecuted
by Russia in such way, that there can
be no possibility Of Japan's renewing
the struggle. Europe for thirty years
was under the menace of revenge for
Alsace. "If we conclude peace with
Japan all our efforts in the far east
will be valueless and we shall have to
spend enormous sums to keep up our
armament there. The Japanese once
for all, must be driven out of the AS
iatic continent" It is now accepted
here, that the reported naval fight on
Port Arthur was purely imaginary.
The naval experts of the different
newspapers dwell upon the difhculties
which the Port Arthur squadron must
have experienced after the disastrous
sortie Of August 10. The general opin-
ion is that the squadron could not ven
ture out unless something happened to
the warships, of which there IS no
knowledge here. In any case, the Rus
sian ships could not go to the neutral
port OF Che Foo, but must head for
vladivostock. II the Baltic feet was
approaching. however, the whole stu

fectively using hand grenades filled
with high explosives. The execution
of these grenades, when accurately
thrown, is deadly, the officer says, and
their use probably accounts for the
closeness of the fighting.
