The. Siberian Tarantass.

Travelling in Siberia. apart from the
railway, now given up entirely to mil
itary transports, is mainly done IN
vehicle called a tarantass. This has
been called the siberian hansom,
but it is a very different vehicle to the
hanson we know by that name. The
tarantass Is q roomy carriage, cover
ed by hood. 1t has no springs, but Is
balanced on long poles, which, In
some measure, break the jolting.
There are no seats for the passenger,
who has to make himself as comfort
cble as he can on a kind Of mattress
spread on the floor Of the vehicle.
Sturdy ponies peculiar to northern
Russia are the animals employed,
usually in pairs, to draw the taran-
tass. They live roughly and can go
immense distances over all sorts OF
ground without fatigue.

RUSSIANS DISCOVERED

Success Of Japanese Fianking Ope-
rations Surprises Them-Heavy
Fighting Now Likely.
st. Petersburg, By Cable.-With tho
return of three days fine weather,
drying the roads at the theatre OF
war, the military authorities here are
cree more inclined to believe in the
probability CT heavy fighting and even
in the possibility Of general engage
ment The Japanese columns appear
again to be pushing forward at all
points but the strategic plans OF the
Japanese, as we'll as the location of
their main force and the place where
their chief blow will be struck, whether
at Kai.Chu, Hal Cheng, Lilo Yang or
even at Mukden, are still puzzling
the Russian authorities. In a general
way, the Japanese seem to be with
drawing their pressure southwest OF
Kai-Chou and Liao-Yang, but to be
maintaining 1t northeast, as II con-
templating a combined attack on Ia
Tche-Kiao and Liao-Yang. The sue,
cess of the Japanese fsnking opera,
tions is disconcerting the Russians.
One by one tho passes in the noun
tains, which the Russians had fort!-
fed in advance with infinite pains,
have been attacked by the japanese
who have always managed, by trivals
rot marked on the maps, to circum'
vent the Russians.
st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-A divis.
ion Of the Baltic Squdron will sail from
Cronstadt July 2Sth under sealed or
ders. Complete mystery enshrouds
itc destination. 1t is said, although
nothing is certain on this point, that
the orders for the division will be
opened at five days interval. There
are attending circumstances which
make it seem unlikely that the d.
vision will start on its long journey
to the far east until the other ships
are ready. It is understood the divi-
sion will include the armored cruiser
Admiral Nakhimoff, the battleship Os-
Eabia, the protected cruiser Aurora
and the battleship Alexandra III, and
possibly the battleship Navarin and
the transport Kamtchatka.
The general naval situation, with
the Port Arthur squadron ready for
scrties at will, and the Vladivostock
squadron embarrassing the japanese
transport plans, compelling the con-
slant presence Of Vice Admiral Kami-
mura in the Sea Of Japan, is con-
sidered to have much improved. There
is elation everywhere over the latest
successful cruise of the latter.
