PUBLIC IMPATIENT,
Keyed Up in Expectation of Great Bat
tie at St. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg, June 29.-The fact
that no further news of the land opera
ticns was received, tonight, did not
serve to relieve the tension which is
general throughout the city. The Off
Gals continue to feel confidence in Gen.
Kuropatkin's judgement and in his
ability to deal with the momentOus sit
uation, but the general public is keyed
mp in expectation of a great battle and
is impatient for news of any sort.
The report from TakiO that a further
raid had been made by the Vladivostoll
squadron arrived too late to be general
ly circulated. This report tallies with
the intimation of the squadrOns activ-
ity made in The Associated Press dis
patches which the report from a Rus
sian correspondent at VladivOstok was
simply blind to cover.
