GENERAL ADVANCE FROM EAST
Belief That the Japs Will Move
Apainst Russian Left

ST. PETERSBURG. July 22.-The army
organ evidently believes that the japanese
are preparing for general advance from
the east against the Russian left. The
paper estimates the Japanese purpose as
follows:
The probable object of the japanese
advance Is to move into the Lao river val
ley, which is north of our position, at
Zanze pass, In order to occupy more
favorable position in the forward move
ment of the main army, which is posted
along the Molten, Lakho and Tapan passes
with a front ten miles to the south of the
SainlatsZa-Liao Yang road. The advantage
of the delay consists In the possibilities
afforded of endangering our communica-
tionS north of Lao Yang and the fanking
of Lieutenant General Count keller's army

Japs' New Advantage.

Regarding the new advantage gained by
the japanese still further north of the
SaimatszaLiao Yang road the army organ
considers that the japanese operations
there and the superiority of their forces at
Molten pass, shown in the engagement
of July II, prove that there have been great
changes in the numerical composition of
the japanese forces, and adds
Undoubtedly the newly formed reserve
units have been sent from Japan to
strengthen the armies, and some of the
Japanese forces are being brought north
from Siuyen. 1t is not improbable that
the japanese intend TO make attempt
to occupy Lieutenant General Count kel
ler's position at Zanze pass. which would
render 1t much more difficult for him to
take the offensive.
but it is scarcely probable that the
Japanese intend with this column to ad
vance upon Lao Yang or Mukden. Such
move would be extremely dangerous with
out previous victory on the Lao Yang
high road, and would call for the deploy-
ment of very large forces. for which the
Saimatsza-Liao Yang road is not suitable

REGARDED A VIOLATION.
constantinople officials Opinion on
Russian Volunteer Steamers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 22.-The pas
sage of the Russian volunteer fleet steam
ers Smolensk and st. Petersburg through
the Dardanelles under a commercial flag
and their subsequent hosting of the naval
flag is considered here to be violation OF
international law, rendering the vessels Ii
able to be regarded as pirates.
1t is thought that Great Britain will avail
herself of the presence of her Medlter
ranean fleet to emphasize her protests
against the action of the volunteer fleet
steamers in the Red sea. and 1t is antici-
pated that she will intercept the Malacca.
No further steamers have traversed the
straits since the Smolensk passed through,
and 1t Is believed that Great Britain will
protest against the further passage of the
Dardanelles by Russian steamers unless
the government gives an explicit under
standing that the vessels are not destined
to act as cuisers.

CRITICISM ON JAPS.
Tribute for Their Engineering Skill
Cunning Foe.

LIAO-YANG, July PIN the course OF
an interesting interview had with him in
the hospital here by an Associated Press
correspondent Gen. Rennenkampff, who
was recently wounded while accommodating
a Japanese position, cody criticised the
Japanese shooting as not up to the mark
and said the Japanese rely upon the guam
tity rather than the quality of their fire
The general declared that the Japanese
over slow and cautious. This criticism
may be somewhat discounted, however, by
the fact that Gen. Rennenkampff himself
is one of the boldest and most dashing COM
manders In the Russian army.
Gen. Rennenkampf paid the highest trib-
ute to the engineering skill of the japanese
Their Notifications, he said, are marvels
of completeness and are well constructed
located and masked. They freely use field
telephones connecting their batteries, and
have excellent maps, many of which have
been captured, on which ranges are
marked.
The Japanese Is a cunning and dangerous
foe," said Gen. Rennenkampff. but he Is
not awful He is a slave to system, lacking
the necessary dash and willingness to take
chances that would make him a most
formidable foe"

ACCEPTED THE STATEMENT.
British Were Told Cargo Contained No
Ccntraband

LONDON, July %, 2:25 p.m.-In accord
ance with instructions from Foreign Minis
ter Lamsdorff, Count Benckendorf, the
Russian ambassador to Great Britain, has
informed Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
that Immediately upon the establishment OF
the presence of the broad arrow-the Brit
ish government mark-upon the munitions
on board the seized steamer Malacca ana
the fact that no other cargo of a CONTRA
band character is on board that vessel she
will at once be released.
In response to this notification Lord Lans-
doWne assured Count Benckendorff that all
the boxes marked with broad arrow were
the property of the British government and
the secretary added that he had been in
formed by the Peninsuar and Oriental
Company, the owners of the Malacca, that
there WAS no contra band on board, a state
ment which the British government ac-
cepted because of the standing OF the COM
pany.
Russia is now awaiting a verification of
the companys statement, on the ground
that fraud might have occurred and ship
ments of contraband substituted for goods
decfaredSon the manifest How and where
| this point will be determined has not been
announced, but Count BenckeDdorn has
given the heartiest assurances to Lord
LansdOwne of the desire of the Russian
government to settle the dispute in an
arnicable spirit and difficulty in arrang-
ing this detail is expected Nevertheless
the British government regrets the delay
in releasing the ship, fearing further public
excitement.
The Associated Press learns that the Rus
sian reply makes no reference to the gen.
erai question of the Dardanelles
The Russian diplomats here excuse the
action of the commander of the st. Peters
burg in se4zing the Malacca on the ground
that he had no idea of the significance OF
the broad arrow.

BERLIN, July 22.-The German consul at
Alden, Arabia, reporting the details of the
seizure of the mails of the North German
Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich in the Red
sea July 10 by the Russian volunteer fleet
vessel Smolansk, says that when the de-
tanned mail sacks were turned over to the
British steamer Persia the Russian COM
mander stated in a letter to the Persia S
captain that two packages which had been
retained were directed by the manag cement
of German ammunition factory to a Jap
anese address at NagaSaki.

ORDERED TO QUIT WORK.
Miners Must Leave the Open Shop Con-
Germs.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. AT a
meeting of the union miners Of Pratt
City and Ensley, who are now on a
strike, 1t was decided that the men who
have taken employment in open shops
other than mines, should cease working
for open shop companies in any capa-
city. This action would appear 80 in
dicate that the miners are more conf
dent in their position than has been
for some time supposed. Many of the
idle men have taken employment in
the steel mill at Ensly and other places
in different capacities. These, men ac-
cording to the ruling of the Pratt City
meeting, will have to leave these posi-
tions. How widespread this movement
will be cannot be said at this time.
