Situation in Manchuria Indi-
Gates a Third Great
Engagement.
AYAMA is ON THE AGGRESSIVE
Coming Fight To Be More Terri
BILE Than Either Liaoyang
or Shakhe.
Japs Moving on Both Flanks OF Kuro-
patkin's Army Port Arthur's
Case Grows More Des-
perate Each Day.

st. petersburg, Nov. 1, 3:05 a. NJ
Everything indicates that both the Jap
anese and the Russian armies south Of
Mukden are ready for resumption of
hostilities, if indeed fighting has not
already begun. General Kuropatkin re-
ports that the Japanese have received
reinforcements from the south and
Fengwangcheng. Their concentration
seems to have been accomplished, and
they are ready to resume the offensive
both east and west Of the railroad.
There is no official estimate of the
strength of the Japanese reinforce
ments, but correspondents place it at
from 10000 to 10000.
Double Flank Movement Threatened.
It is believed that the japanese
force has been very largely augment
ed both from Port Arthur, where an
engineering siege has been begun, and
Japan, from whence it is understood
every available man is being drafted.
1t seems to be assured that the Japan
csc will be able to meet General Kuro-
patkin on almost if not quite, an equal
numerical footing The mere fact that
they are again threatening a double
thanking movement indicates Field
Marshal Oyama's confidence in the ef-
ficiency of the force at his disposal
Fearful Battle To Be Fought.
1t is believed here that the second
battle on. the Shakhe river will prove
to be as much bigger and more serious
than the fiNst, as the first was more
serious than the battle of Liaoyang.
Dispatches Indicate the resumption Of
fighting on both .extremities Of the
Russian front The night Of Oct. 80
the Japanese attacked the Russian en-
trenchments east of !, Sinchinpu, but
were repulsed, though the lombard
ment continued throughout the night
A sFJapanese advance has also begun
against the Russian positions at Tun-
canon, a mile and half north Of
Bentsiaputze where they encountered
a heavy Russian fire.
Aggressive All Along the Line.
Thus it appears that the Japanese
are becoming aggressive along the
whole front, from Bentsiaputze on the
extreme east to Sinchinpu, which is
west of the Shakhe river where that
stream bends south after crossing the
railroad. This probably constitutes the
extreme Russian west, making the bat
tie front about the same as when Cen
eral kuropatkin began his southern
movement
Latest from Port Arthur.
The latest reports from Port Arthur
are by no means encouraging. Gener-
al Stoessel is making a good defense,
but the Japanese are approaching now
by parallels confessedly close to i'm
portant Russian Notifications. While
this form of attack is less spectacular
and less costly in men than repeated
assault it is no less conclusive in ulti-
mate results. demanding sleepless de-
