To Abandon the Peninsula.
CBv the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
st. Petersburg, June 24.-Today's
news from the theatre of war indicates
that General Kuropatkin will not give
battle to the combined armies of Gen
eral Oku and Kuroki near Kai Chou.
Doubt is now cast upon the impress
sion prevailing for several days that
the bulk of the Lao Yang army has
advanced southwark, though it may
be that General Kuropatkin is con-
centrating his forces in the neighbor-
hood of Hai-Cheng. The only thing
that can be stated with certainty is
that the information received by the
War Office shows that General Kuro-
patkin has no intention of seriously
contesting the Japanese advance on
Kai Chou, which would seem to carry
with it the decision practically to
abandon the entire peninsula to the
enemy, and as necessary consequence
the withdrawal of the Russian troops
from New Chwang.
Military critics approve of General
Kuropatkin's decision not to fight at
Kai Chou, which they point out, is
particularly unfavorable position eX-
posed to a flank attack from huroki
on one side and to a possible landing
at New Chwang on the other The
Japanese forces engaged in this move
ment are estimated at $50, 900 men
and an enormous number of guns.

The Russians Without News.

(By the Associated Press.)
st. Petersburg, June 25.-The Ad-
miralty has no direct news of the ma
val battle fought off Port Arthur June
%. but the announcement of the en-
gagement evidently created no sur
prise here, the authorities having been
aware that the squadron of Rear Adj
rniaral Without was ready to put to sea
at a moments notice. On Thursday
the correspondent of the Associated
Press was informed, as announced in
these dispatches that important naval
developments were anticipated. If an
actual engagement occurred the Admi-
rally cannot believe that Admiral To-
go got off practically scot free. Par
ticular solicitude therefore is expressed
to know whether the Russian battle
ship Perseviet was sunk by a mine, as
she was emerging from the harbor or
by projectile, as it is known that the
japanese have repeatedly tried 20 mine
the entrance.
