n NOPE SOUTH DOUBTED.
Russian officials Deny Reported
Plan to ReEeUe Fortress.

ST. Petersburg, June 3.-The best informed
military circles attach no Importance to the
reports that General Kuropatkin has detached
a large force from his army at Liao-Yang and
dispatched II southwark 10 relieve Port Arthur,
and 1t is distinctly denied that Emperor Nicho-
las personally ordered such a movement. 1t can
be authoritativeIy stated that the Emperor's
confidence in General Kuropatlkin is mistaken.
and his majesty is not attempting 10 interfere
with his plan Of campaign.
While no such army has been dispatched

not unlikely that when the Japanese have failed
TO push through line across the head Of the
Liao-Tung Peninsula several thousand Rus
sian troops may be sent down the railroad
10 impede the japanese operations and inflict
much damage possible. these could easily
be withdrawn by railroad If the enemy threat
ened 10 the line Of communications above.
Even the loss Of a few regiments would be con-
sidered cheap if the japanese operations against
Port Arthur were thereby retarded for ap-
preciable time.
1t is realized. however that with the japanese
occupation Of Port Dalny and Talien-Wan as
bases for landing siege guns. the small force
above Kin-Chow could accomplish little. and 1t
is now more likely TO be withdrawn. destroying
the railroad ii retires northward. For strate-
gic purposes Kuropatkn may be trying 10 make
the japanese believe that movement south
ward is contemplated. in order to divert Ku-
roids attention in that direction
The impression is being thrown out in certain
quarters here that Kuropatkin is about to take
the offensive and that an engagement with
Kuroki is imminent but far be ascer-
tanned there is no solid foundation for this
1t is unquestionable, however. that the railroad
is pouring troops into Manchuria at the rate of
almost 900 a day. and il will not be long at
the present rate before the Russian commander
in chief will be az least equal terms with any
force the enemy bring against him.
The general staff refuses information about
the location and purposes Of the Cossacks re-
ported TO be working around Kurokis rear and
the number of the raiders operating in Corea.
The authorities here officially deny the reports
OF continued disorder in Poland.
It is authoritatively stated that no negotia-
tons have yet begun looking to a CONNER
cial treaty between Russia and Great Britain.
The negotiations for treaty 20 allow United
States firms in Russia 10 sue in Russian courts
have been completed. and the treaty probably
Will be signed by Foreign Minister Lamsdorn
and Ambassador Mccormick in a few days.

KURoRArKIN'S VIEWS CHANGED.
High Praise of Japanese Troops-Mills at
= Harbin Busy.

NeW-chwang, June 3.-Every effort on the
part OF the Russians to communicate with the
southern part Of the Liao-Tung peninsula has
resulted in failure. The japanese are in con-
troll OF al avenues OF communication and they
allow messages 10 pass. With the exception
OF the authorities, the Russians in New-Chwang
are daily growing more depressed at the out
look.
An officer Of high rank who has arrived here
IRON Moukden spoke as follows concerning Cen
eral Kuropatkin:
He is awakening 10 the fact that the japanese
ARE worthy Of praise. He says that their recent
operations prove them to be among the greatest
--strategists In the world, and 10 this must be
added great daring, capacity for work and abil-
ity TO stand punishment. The general did not
believe this before, but now il has been demon
strated.
The mills at Hardin are being worked day and
night in grinding Manchurian wheat and their
daily output is estimated cOnservatively at 100
600 pounds OF -four. The Russian authorities
are encouraging the farmers 10 plant larger
crops than ever before. They are not depending
on the Trans-Siberian Railroad Cor the trans
portation OF supplies.
