GEN. kUROKI ADVANCES.
His Purpose Is Believed to Be to Tur1
Russian Left Flank.
YENTAI MINES ARE NOW OCCUPIED.
japanese Capture of Mukden Is Expected Soon
"A Detachment of the Mikado's Soldiers
Makes Dash to Telling and Drives
Off Body of the Enemy, Who Leave 10
Dead.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-A dis
patch received here from Mukden
gives details of the Japanese positions
as follows:
General Kuroki has concentrated
one army with the distance between
Bentsiaputzc and Bensihu as its ra
dius, and his advance is pushing for
ward along the road leading to Flu
shun and Flu Pass. The advance
forces of two other armies occupy
The Yentai mines, the village of Yet
.ai and Sandenu. The front of these
three armies is protected by an out
post screen, which Chinese are not
allowed to pass. A small Japanese
detachment is moving along the left
bank of the Lao river in order to pro-
tect junks.
The same dispatch reports that Chi
nese bandits are openly siding with,
the Japanese. The weather at Muk-
den is rainy and windy. Cold has pre-
maturely set in.
The absence of detailed official re-
ports from the seat of war, despite
the important character of events that
are developing around Mukden. leads
to the suppoSition that General Ku-
ropatkin may, after all, not seriously
contest the Japanese advance and that
the long-expected battle at Mukden
may turn out to be merely rear
guard action upon large scale.
General Sakharoff reports that the
japanese army is moving from Bent
siaputze toward Flu Pass, a village six
miles northeast of Mukden and near
the right bank Of the Hun river. The
river at that point is shallow, and
probably for this reason the locality
has been selected by the Japanese for
crossing.
If the Japanese succeed in gaining
a foothold at Flu Pass, General Ku-
ropatku's position at Mukden will be
insecure, as the Japanese will be able
to threaten the Russian line Of com
munications and turn the lett flank:
Flu Pass is only 20 miles north OF
Bentsiaputze, but at the present rate
of progress the Japanese will prob
ably occupy four or five days in trav-
ersing it.
The Russian force south of Muk
den is believed to consist of only one
army corps, which is acting as a rear
guard and is not intended to offer a
serious resistance to the japanese ad-
vance
