BIG BATTLE
 IMMINENT KurOpatkin Drawn South
 ward. s00.0O0 MEN TO CLASH KurOki and Oku Have Almost Made Junction. Main Japanese Advance Continues At- tended by Constant skirmishing --Rnssia Is still Mystihed over Sea Battle Reports.
 

St. Petersburg, June 27.-Lieutenant General Sakharoff's dispatch received tonight confirms the belief that the first great battle of the campaign against General Kuropatkins main army and the armies of Generals Ku- roki and oku is iminent.
 The three armies probably aggregat- ing 100000 men and their outposts are today In touch all along the line. The sapanese evidently tried to draw Ku- ropatkin as far south as possible, hold ing out as an incentive check to the advance of Oku's main army. Mean time Oku swung sharply to the east ward to join Kuroki toward the Chap ar Pass, Kuroki at the game time nov ing q strong force by the right flank towards Haicheng.
 The main Japanese advance contin- ues along the main Fengwang Cheng- Liao Yang road, avoiding the Mao Tien pass by a detour to the northward. The advance in all points is being at terded by considerable skirmishing.
 Nothing is known here of the exact point at which kuropatkins main force is concentrated. though it is believed that a large part of the Liaoyang force has been moved to a point between Kinchau and Ia Tche Kiao.
 According to the Associated Press dispatches from Ia Tche Kiao today, a large force has pushed southward from Ia Tche Kiao against Oku. While Kuropatkin is thus extending himself the Japanese, with great mo- bility, seem to be trying to concen- trate for the purpose of striking the Russians in flank and rear.
 Viceroy Alexieff's message tonight with the brief dispatch from Rear Ad- miral Withoft, naval commander at Port Arthur throws little additional light on the sea fight off Port Arthur The admiralty and the Emperor are awaiting further details with the same eagerness as the general public.
 The meaRerness' of the reports is greatly mYstifylng' the authorities, who continue to believe that there has been a later fight which has not yet been reported.
 The Associated Press has received a curious dispatch from a Russian cor respondent at Vladivostok. who took pains to say that Vice Admiral Skryd- liff's squadron would probably be un- able to go out again for weeks. as the ships had to go into dry dock for the purpose of thoroughly overhauling their boilers and cleaning their hulls prepa- ratory to putting to sea to meet the Baltic squadron. The dispatch added that some of the torpedo boats have been shattered by the storm during the last expedition to the Japanese coast In conclusion, the correspondent says that nothing has been heard of Vice. Admiral Kamimura's squadron

 Senator Gallinger said this was se- rious oversight. Congressman Gros- venor said the point was brought up at the last minute. but that insistence upon 1t would have endangered the passage of the bill. General Grosvenor and Senator Gailinger explained that this point should have been raised by the shippers along the Atlantic Coast but that they did not raise 1t and when attention was finally brought to 1t, just on the eve of tho ratification of the Gu ban treaty 1t was too late to do any thing without altering the treay itself, which was deemed impracticable at that hour.
 This evenings reception was tender ed to the commissioners at the offices of the Detroit Board of Commerce be- fore their departure for Cleveland where sessions will be held tomorrow.
