Kuropatkin Strengthening His Lines.

ments. There is good warrant for the
belief that Kuropatkin is strengthening
his left flank to meet the Japanese
turning movement, his troops occupy
ing a triangle from Fushun to Mukden
n Tie pass. Over 300 guns have ar
rived at the front. The activity of the
Russian skirmishers below the Hun
river creates the impression that Kuro-
patkin may contemplate assuming the

and make from them a concise and de-

1t is generally known that Gen. Ku-
ropatkin succeeded by means of a des-
perate rear guard action and strong
and we'll handled flank movements. in
withdrawing the great bulk of the Rus
sian army and that he cut bridges to
hamper the Japanese pursuit.
Critical interest centers in the opera
tions OF the Japanese right wing, which
occurred late Friday night and early
Saturday morning. Gen. Kuroki
then swung to the westward, his move
ment being designed to flank the re-
mainder of the Russians left at Liao
Yang itself.
1t Is believed here that Gen. Kuro-
patkin Is bound to lose many prisoners
to the Japanese. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the Typographical difficulties
and the overwhelming opposition of the
Russians may check this movement on
the part of Gen. Kuroki.
Among the Japanese officers reported
killed in the battle of Lao Yang were
Lieut.. Tearouchi, son of Lieut.. Gen.
