AWAIT NEWS OF BATTLE.

The papers, with the exception OF the
army organ and the Novoe Vremya, are
unanimously OF the opinion that pitch
ed battle is now certain. The former Is
silent on the subject which may be sig
nficant. especially as Gen. Kuropatkin
movements are shrouded in mystery.
MAY WITHDRAW NoRTHwARD.
The Novoe vremya says: The time for
strategy is passed. We are now on the
eve OF tactics. Not knowing the exact po-
sition of our forces we cannot state what
Kuropatkin intends to do. II Is possible
he NAV consider It untimely and unprofi-
table to enter upon a decisive engage
ment of all his forces, in which event
while engaging the enemy, who Is pour
ing troops down upon him, he may retire
northward TO meet his endorsements
The tone in both public and official cir
cles has greatly improved. The report
that the Port Arthur squadron has sue
cessfully put to sea and that no snip mas
yet been sunk. seems TO have removed
the despondency and developments OF
land and sea are looked Forward 10 WIN
increased cheerfulness.
MANY people are inclined TO attribute
the Japanese precipitancy TO get at ku-
ropatkin to the fact that the squadron at
large threatens the japanese army's sea
communications.
HAD CONSTANT FIGHTING.
Special dispatches say II was Major
General Mistchenko's division which has
been engaged in constant fighting In the
vicinity OF the mountain passes over
which the Japanese are advancing.
One dispatch says the country Is al
most mpassable, Mistohenko retiring
only when the enemy appeared In over
whelming numbers. The correspondent
considers 1t doubtful whether General
| Kuroki will advance all three columns as
/ this would disunite his forces He Is more
/ likely TO push home his attack from Siu-
ven upon Tatchekiao exclusive 20 General
oku. The correspondent figures that
Kuroh has 10000 troops, the japanese
commander being in personal command
| OF 5000 men at Dalin Pass.
KURoPATKIN's ORDER.
/ General Kuropatln has issued an army
order insisting on the kindest and most
/ humane treatment OF Japanese prisoners
and wounded, Notwithstanding the tales
OF atrocities committed by the japanese.
/ The order, which directs that the same
respect and honors be paid 10 the brave
foes as IL they we're Russians. Is most
| fav6rably commenced upon by the Novoe
Vryema. which says:
