S. Petersburg, May 1O.-(2:15 p,m)-
Although II Is hardly credited here las
It Is known that Gen. Kuropatkin Is
Withdrawing his advance posts along
the Manchurian littoral on Lao Yang),
II Is announced this morning from
Mukden that the railroad between Port
Arthur and Lao Yang has been re-
paired and is working,
Hal Cheng, north OF Newchwang, is
already reported to have been evacuat-
ed, but there Is nothing official on this
point The Russian garrison still re-
mains at Newchwang but the abandon
ment of that place is considered only to
be question of days.
The army organ assumes that the
Russians are retiring on lao Yang,
leaving temporarily" the defense of
Port Arthur to the naval squadron and
garrison, The organ assumes that the
Japanese have already landed at Taku
Shan west OF the Yalu river, thus as

the force dlsembarked at Taku Shan is

We're sent northward TO protect the
Japanese right flank. II the japanese
could get on this road above Lao Yang

enese successes upon the Chinese than
about the ultimate result Of the cam
palgn, The Russ. reviewing the war

The fears expressed as to the eff
rect even OF the temporary successes
OF the Japanese upon the Asiatics are
more general and are beginning to seri-
onsly alarm many OF the leaders of
