 The Japanese movement up the Taft- se river appears to be by compara- lively small force. Kidding parties from the Russian army bring in many prisoners. Beautiful autumn weather continues. disbursements are arriv- ing rapidly. Over 1000 convalescents have returned to duty.
 The railway Is in good working com dition. Oficers are distributing the reserve of stores that were brought up from Liaoyang, as adequate supplies are now coming in from the north.

 Berlin, Sept. 2s.-signor Giolitti, the Italian premier left Homburg today for Racconigi. Italy. after two days visit to Chancellor von Buelow which at this juncture of international af- fairs has naturally given rise to con lectures that the conference concerned partly the question of mediatory of- fers in the far eastern war.
 The German as well as the British and Italian press was quick to com ment on this probability. The con- lectures, however, have brought out equally prompt denial from the govern ment organs. The National Zeitung in an evidently inspired paragraph, styl- ing the reports that the conference dealt with the question of medition as absurd falsification.' Several of the newspapers close to the government point out that owing to the absence of an expression of a desire for mediation on the part of either Russia or Japan, mediatory proposals are out of the question.
 The National Zeitung and ,vossische Zeitung intimate that neither belliger- ent is desirious of foreign intervention and that peace ultimately will be brought about by direct negotiations. No trustworthy statement regarding the real purport of the conference has been given out. It is believed In some quarters that it concerned Germes financing of project to nationaiixe the Italian railroads

 Field Marshal Oyama's advance ap- pears to be extremely deliberate. There are no indications as yet that he has begun to overlap Russian positions
 The superiority of the Russian caval- ry is beginning to be apparent. They have had the test of 1t in a number of minor encounters.
 It appears that Gen. Rennenkamfs movement to the southward on Sep tember 19 extended beyond the distance indicated by first reports. His Cos sacks made rapid sweep on September 22 and struck a Japanese force at Ben sihu. threatening their communication and causing considerable excitement Endorsements are rapidly arriving at Mukden and many convaleescents arc already returning to duty.
