has been on the spot with full power
to offer inducements of all kinds to

in spite of all efforts, the work has

short. thus adding yet another Difficult

There are large accumulations of

MOSCOW, Feb. 27.-According to the
latest information in high military cir

road between Liauyang, on the road
from Mukden to Port Arthur, and the
Yalu River, it's front and fianks being
strongly supported. The right flank is
at Takushan and the left near the town
of Wiju. The Russian cavalry crossed
the Yalu between Antung and Yon-
gampho and occupied the road toward
Sukohon, and Cossack scouts advanced
along the greater and lesser caravan
routes. Scouts are now ten miles east
of Pingyang. The cavalry is thirty-hve
miles north and the infantry 125 miles
northwest of Pingyang.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.-General
Kuropatkin and Admiral Makaroff
probably will not reach the seat of war
until three weeks from now, nor are
the war operations on land likely to
commence until General Kuropatkin
has had time to thoroughly take in and
sum up the situation. There is very
great probability that the japanese
may avail themselves of the state of
unpreparedness in which the Russians
find themselves to hurry on their mill
tary operations. This is much feared
here. Dread of what might occur un-
der such circumstances hangs as a
nightmare over Russia's peace OF
mind. while all are hoping fervently
that the Japanese will stay their hand.
Russia is pushing her military prep
arations, tardy though they be, with
the utmost haste, but her single rail-
way line (and not a very strongly laid
one) forbids an enormous amount of
traffic being sent along. The line will
neither stand great weights nor high
speed. Even with the greatest care it
is recognized that breaks on the road
are sure to be numerous.

weak spot on the line. There has been

America May Be Asked

Balkans.

ROME, Feb. 27.-The situation in the
Balkans, with which Russia, Italy and
Austria are so closely connected, al
though it has apparently improved
somewhat during the last sew days,
still occasions much anxiety. It's no
longer a secret that Boris Sarafoff, the
Macedonian leader, came to Italy with
the principal object of deciding on a
course Of action with Ricclotti Carl
baldi, who heretofore has not approved
Of an isolated movement on the part of
the Macedonians.
In an interview the two leaders
agreed upon a plan which will result
in a general rising in the Balkans,
should necessity arise. With this OBJ
ject a meeting of all the Balkan lead
ers has been Professionally arranged to
take place in Venice about the end of
March.
The possibility of arbitration also was
discussed by Sarafoff and Garibaldi
The latter proposed to sound the United
States as to whether or not that coun-
try would be willing to act in the ca
pacity of arbitrator.
Should arbitration or the other sug-
gested arrangements for peaceful set
tlement Of the threatened trouble fail,
a general revolution seems inevitable
and Garibaldi is already secretly pre-
pairing a body of volunteers, each
member of which will be equipped
with arms. 1000 rounds of cartridges
and food for a month. Garibaldi was
offered the general direction of the
Macedonian movement, but refused on
the ground that he thought it better
to leave the leadership to some men
directly interested in Macedonia. as
that would give him. Garibaldi, a
freer hand.
Confidential and official information
received her from Austria points to
the fact that that Government is max
ing extensive preparations to check
any movement on its. southeast
ern frontiers, where reinforcements
amounting to 10000 men have been
centered.
1t is known that negotiations are
going on between Russia and Italy in
regard to the Balkans.
PARIS, Feb. An American Of
hcial who for two years past has been
studying the conditions in the Balkans
has just arrived in Paris and to-day
made an interesting statement of the
situation. He said:
Il am satisfied Turkey will not de-
clare war. She has been informed by
the powers that even If she does en-
gage in hostilities she will gain abso-
lutely no result thercs-om and even
may suffer f. n a military occupation
by the powers, which probably would
result in the separation of Macedonia
from the Turkish Empire. It is true
that Turkey is sending reinforcements
to Macedonia. but this is due to the
prospect of an outbreak of another in
