Reports Active Skirmishine on the
Left Flank for Three Days.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 29.-General
Kouropatkin reports that there has
been active skirmishing on the left
flank for three days. The opinion is
now expressed by the general staff
that the Japanese intend taking the
offensive, as they cannot afford to
wait till the Russians are further re-
forced. 1t is held that the fighting to
the eastward is doubtless with the
purpose of feeling out the Russian
positions preparatory to an advance
in that direction, but as there are
about 1000 Russian troops southwest
of Sintsintin, where fighting occurred
on Nov. 26, and probably twice as
many more in the mountains be-
tween Bentsiaputze and Sintsintin,
any Japanese move from this quarter
would entail serious fighting. At the
same time correspondents at the front
scout the idea of serious fighting
being imminent. A later dispatch
from General Kouropatkin reports
that the Japanese assumed the often
