KUROPATKIN TO BIDE
TIME IN MAKING WAR

ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-When
General Kuropatkin reaches Mukden it is
understood the Emperor's forces at the
theater of war will be divided into three
armies-one on the peninsula. including the
Port Arthur garrison under General
Stoessel, military commander at Port Ar
thur, central army under General Line
witch, and a northern army under General
Baron Stackelburg. Any idea that General
Kuropatkin's arrival will be signalized by
aggressive tactics is discouraged in the
highest military circles, where attention is
called to the generals repeated injunc-
tions-patience, patience, patience. I'VE
can afford to wait whether or not the
Japanese can," is the sentiment among
the believers in General Kuropatkin. He
expects to force the Japanese TO fight him
on grounds of his own choosing. There
will be no forward movement into Korea.
On the contrary the Russians at the Yalu
are now screening their concentration to
the westward and they probably will retire
against japanese advance III force, naraSS-
ing and retarding them as much as posi-
bic until the proper time to uncover the
main Russian army.
The continued landing of Japanese troops
in Korea is exactly to the liking of the
Russian strategists. The bigger the army
dsembarked there the better they will be
satisfied being convinced that once Korea
is filled with the Japanese soldiers by pres
sure of numbers and clamor OF public opin-
ion Japan will be driven forward into the
arms of the Russians. Nothing but COM
plete change of plan in the japanese cam
paign as developed up TO date will compel
the Russians TO depart from their deter
mination to play consistent waiting game.
being persuaded that all the advantages of
such policy lie their side.
The Russians also express much more
satisfaction at the present situation al
Liao-Tung. The forces the peninsula
have been reinforced to an extent which
will render a Japanese landing there diff
cult if not impossible and the garrison at
Port Arthur has been amply provisioned
TO withstand a siege. So far as the pen
insula is concerned the preparations there
may now be regarded as complete.

LOVE WAS CALLED 4
DISEASE AGES AGO

LONDON, March AIS love disease
is question which some of the London
papers have been threshing out more or
less satisfactorily for some time past and
now the Lancet has gravely contributed
TO the discussion. This medical weekly de-
clares that the idea of love being really a
disease has the sanction of venerable
antiquity, and apart from the Greek and
Roman classics Is also a commonplace of
the seventeenth century writer's on med
icine.
The Lancet goes on to quote number
of authorities from Galen to Horstius, and
concludes thus: THE Dutch and Flemish
painters of the later half of the same CEN
fury found in love-sickness a favorite sub
ject for some of their paintings. Ladies
suffering from this disease are accurate
portrayals of the anaemic condition"

ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-Major
General Plug telegraphs from Mukden
under to-day's date as follows: There is
absolutely no truth in the report published
in England to the effect that the Japanese
have crossed the Ta-Tung pass, or that
they had engagements with the Russians,
while the statement that the way 10 Mo-
tienling pass, where a strong Russian de-
tachment is alleged to be stationed is open
to the Japanese is also pure invention To
the same category belong the reports pub
lished in London newspapers from Japanese
sources OF an engagement alleged to have

CONDITION OF THE
PORT ARTHUR FLEET

LONDON, March 25.-The Daily Tele-
graphs circumstantial report from it's
Toxic correspondent, that the Japanese
succeeded in bottling up Port Arthur on
the night of March %, is not confirmed
from any other quarter.
The Standards Tien-Tsin correspondent
says that Viceroy Alexieff renewed his de-
mand for the withdrawal of all Chinese
officials and soldiers from Manchuria on
the ground that otherwise it would be i'm
possible to conduct the war properly.
The Daily Mails correspondents give
from both sources some details of the
condition of Port Arthur which were
gathered during recent visit of Chinese
junk there. 1t is asserted that a boom
had been placed across the entrance to the
roadstead which was alive with mines so
defective and so carelessly laid as to equally
endanger both Russian and japanese YES
sells The damaged Russian warships, these
reports say, were repaired with such haste
that Ii is dangerous for them to leave their
anchorage. Eight battleships and cruisers
and ten torpedo boat destroyerS are now
uninjured and often leave the harbor, but
never go far from the forts. japanese naval
officers praise the quality of the Russian
torpedo boat destroyers which they con-
fess have done excellent work. but they de-
clare that the Russian shells are badly
fused and fail TO explode except when they
strike direct upon armor and that their
charges of guncotton are insufficient to
cause serious damage.
The Daily Mails Shan-Hai-Kwan cor
respondent says the Japanese are secretly
engaging Chinese TO act as irregular corps.
The Toxic correspondent of the Times
commenting on the white book recently is
sued. says that the signal concession in
Japan's last note during the negotiations
with Russia offering to recognize Man
'churia outside Japan's political sphere,
instead of placating the Russians seemer
to lead them to ina CINE that Japan would
sacrifice anything rather than fight. The
entire correspondence, according TO the rep
resentative of the Times. shows that Rus
STA was inventing frivolous pretexts for
delay and that the government at St. Pc
tersburg subordinated itself TO Viceroy
Alexieff throughout the negotiations.
