RUSSIANS WORRY JAPs.
Impede the NOrtheastward Movement

of KurOkis Men.
Tatehe Kiao, July 19.-The Associ-
ated Press correspondent has been rid
ing around the southern portions of
the country, which is now scarcely re-
cognizable. Since the few days of rain.
the whole land has become lost in lux
uriant vegetation. The gaoilin crop
has grown with such extraordinary ra-
pidity that everywhere 1t is higher
than the tallest man. and in the skirm-
ishes the scouts have been able to find
cover therein. Ambuscades and sur
prises are of every day occurrence.
The Russians are losing no opportunity
to worry their foes.
The Japanese seem to be moving
their forces northeastward in the di-
rection of Hiuyan and Simouchen.
Fresh guns. mules and ammunition are
being brought up daily to points where
the Japanese expect to give battle.
The movement northeas tward is con-
siderably impeded by Russian attacks.
AT Siatzatun and Giatziatun, the Rus
sian gunners shelled the Japanese
camps and drove the troops out in dis
order. Many were killed or wounded
and large supplies were abandoned.
Another Japanese party was surpris
ed at Kaimahe and Tunchemain. while
marching in the mountain defiles to
join General Bodzu.
The correspondent went to the south
post and found the soldiers in jolly
mood. They were giving a concert
within sight of the japanese.
The surrounding heights are sealed
with trenches. II looks as though the
Japanese are prepared to take the de-
fensive here while they attack the
Russians at other points or perhaps
they may move on Yinkoy.

London, July 19.--In British Official
circles the recent seizures and over
hauling of British ships In the Red Sea
by the Russian volunteer fleet steam
ers Smolensk and St. Petersburg are
regarded as very grave International
incidents.
The seizure of the Peninsular and
Oriental steamer Malacca by the st.
Petersburg and her arrival in the Suez
Canal as a prize of war on her way to
Libau. on the Baltic has come as a
climax and the cabinet today is con-
sidering the course to pursue.
The British law officers, acknowledge
the right of the Russians to seize and
detain mails provided that only official
communications are taken, but they
take the most serious view of the
status of the two Russian ships pat
rolling the Red Sea and II any official
action or protest ensues IL will he
chiefly in regard to the passage of
these erstwhile merchant ships through
the Dardanelles and their subsequent
transformation into ships of war.
In official circles strong comment is
made in regard to Russia's policy in
this matter. 1t is regarded as impos-
sible that the commanders of the Smo-
iensk and St. Petersburg were given
full power. and the officials therefore
are inclined to the grave conclusion
that the Russian government gave i'm
plicit instructions to the two command.
