German War Experts
Consider Liaoyang

tons Shield Rus
sian Army.

BERLIN, Aug 29-German military
men are discussing the situation of
General KuroDatkin with the keenest
interest. They have information that
the defenses of Liaoyang are of ex-
traordinary strength. The terrifying
Of the town was entrusted TO General
Melishtko, who enjoys here the Tepu-
tation of being a master of military
engineering.
During the past two months he has
fortified all the strategic positions
around Liaoyang in a manner we'll
nigh impregnable. Triple lines of
trenches crown every height where ar
tillery could be effective. The entire
line of Notifications is connected
through passages for facilitating the
reinforcement of endangered points,
while bomb proof retreats covered with
steel rails protect reserves. All impor-
tant points have telegraphic commune
cation with headquarters.
The German critics believe Lao
yang's defenses about equalize the diff
ference in numbers between the Rus
sians-estimated at 1S0,000-and the
Japanese, numbering 100000.
The danger of General Kuropatkln's
situation is recognized as being bottled
up like Field Marshal Bazaine, who sur
rendered Metz to the German forces in
1870. 1t is doubted by the experts if
General Kuropatkin will be able TO
prevent the complete encircling Of
Liaoyang, which would mean, prObab-
ly, the eventual loss of his entire army.
The Japanese delay is believed 10
have been due to the necessity OF
bringing up siege guns with which to
break the Russian Notifications.

St Petersburg Officials Are Not Sure That Entire Army Under
kuropatkin'S Command Is at Liaoyang

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug 30.-Even
late last night the greatest uncertainty
prevailed regarding the actual situa-
ton at Liaoyang. There is an intense
anxiety for definite news from the
front. but even the authorities are
practically ignorant as TO whether the
long expected battle Will be fought at
Liaoyang. or farther north.
II is expected that a great battle
is now proceeding and there are many
indications that such is the case. If
this is SO the fate OF this years cam
paign NAV be settled within forty
eight hours. AT the same time opinion
is almost equally divided, many be
lieving that General KuroDatkin Will
not make a determined stand and that
the japanese viii crack the shell only

One of the Russian correspondents
Of the press says the fighting SO far
has been confined wholly 10 rear guard
actions. The Russian force is now con-
centrated in a series Of exceedingly
strong positions around Liaoyang, but
the whole withdrawal was in accord
ance with a prearranged plan. II Is
certain that the armies are now IN
close touch. The japanese are advanc-
ing in great force along both Of the
roads converging on Liaoyang. but the
crucial question, whether il is the main
Russian army that is concentrated
there TO receive them or merely
strong screen. has not been answered
up 10 this time.
Much depends upon the weather. 1t
is possible that the recent rains may
have made General Kuropatkin's with
drawsl impossible even if he desired
TO withdraw. or that a further down

De Convertible Still Missing.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29.-There
is considerable anxiety regarding the
fate of Lieutenant de Convertible, the
French naval attache, who left Port
Arthur in a junk at about the same
time as Lieutenant McCully, the
United States naval attache. Nothing
has been heard of the French officer
since that time. At the request of the
French embassy ambassador McCor-
mick telegraphed to Lieutenant Nc
Gully at Liaoyang to ascertain if he
could throw any light upon the mat
ter. De Convertible should have ar

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24.-The
imperial decree converting the Finnish
Diet not only convokes it this year,
but makes provision for its meeting
three years hence, thus foreshadowing
regular meetings of the Diet at inter-
walls Of not less than five years, in ac-
cordance with the letter of the Fin
nish constitution, for the first time
since the grand duchy came under
the Russian sovereignty.
That such step has been taken
positively indicates the suspension of
