ST. PETERSBURG, October 6-1:15 "A.
No Official advices from the far East.
given yesterday evening, describe Sc
ries OF skirmshes on the southern front
of General Kuropatkln's army, the only
importance Of which lies IN the fact
that the Japanese are showing dispos-
ition to press forward and feel out the
Russian positions. General Alstchenko's s
tcossacks in every case drove back the
opposing forces. v s
The activity OF the japanese outposts
is doubtless intended to screen movements
OF their armies, and therefore may be
regarded as precursory symptoms OF final
preparations for an advance, which prob
ably will begin within a week.
Messenger From Kuropatkin.

Emperor General Kuropatkin's full re-
port OF the battle OF Lao Yang. The
messenger, who submitted to an inter-

not likely General Kuropatkin will make
