better way is to place little scraped

No Fighting In Central ManehurIa-

sauIt on Port Arthur.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 16.-The al
most complete quiet prevailing at Lac
Yang and Mukden is accepted here as
the inevitable consequence of the furi-
GUS activity Of the past three weeks
The view taken at Mukden that there
is not likely to be resumption Of
fighting in that immediate locality for
a month is regarded here as probably
correct. 1t can hardly be expected
that much actual news will develop In
central Manchuria for some time to
come, and attention is now turning to-
ward Port Arthur, where, as Gen.
Stoessel's latest report indicates, the
Japanese are gathering strength for
another spring at the fortress.
The emperor has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Viceroy Alex
ieff:
"a dispatch from Irkutsk, eastern
Siberia, dated August 13, says the
Kommander Islands, on the coast Of
Kamchatka, had been besieged BY
Japanese and British schooners and
steamers up to July 2S. Two of these
schooners and the steamers were
armed with guns. In driving them of
ten Japanese were killed and many
wounded. We sustained no loss
"Near Kamchatka five japanese
fishing schooners have been burned
Their crews were annihilated.
"The Japanese announced the an
nexation of the territory and pro
claimed it a Japanese protectorate
They were subsequently captured b.
120 Russian reserves"
The Kommander Islands are the isl
| ands for whose protection agains
these very expeditions arrangement
were made by Russia with Great Brit
| ain and the United States.
