Not Paving Much Attention to
Attacks.
Disposition Of the Army in the
Far East Being
Planned.
EXPECTS TO BE READY SOON

st. Petersburg, March 25-when
General Kuropatkin reaches Mukden
it is understood that the emperor's
force at the theater of war will be di-
vided into three armies-one on the
peninsula, including the Port Arthur
garrison under General Stoessel; .
army under General Linevitoh
and q northern army under General
Baron 6tackelburg. Any idea that
General Kuropatkin's arrival will be
signslized by aggressive tactics is dis
couraged in the highest military cir
cles, where attention is called TO the
generals repeated injunction-pa-
thence, patience, patience.
eve can afford to wait whether or
not the Japanese can," is the senti-
ment among the believers in General
Kuropatkin. He expects to force the
japanese to fight him on grounds of
his own choosing. There will be no
forward movement into Korea. On
the contrary the Russians ct the Yalu
are now screening their concentration
to the westward and they probably
will retire against japanese advance
in force harassing and retarding them
as much as possible until the proper
time TO uncover the main Russian
army.
The continued landing Of Japanese
troops in Korea is exactly to the lik-
ing Of the Russian strategists. The
bigger the army disembarked there the
better they will be suited, being con-
WINGED that once Korea Is filed with
the japanese soldiers by pressure of
numbers and clamor of public opinion
Japan will be driven forward into the
arms of the Russian. Nothing but a
complete change of plan in the Japa-
nese campaign. as developed up to
date, will compel the Russians to de-
part from their determination to play
q consistent, waiting game, being
persuaded that all the advantages of
such policy lie on their side.
The Russians also express much
more satisfaction ut the present situa-
tion in Liao Tuug. The forces on the
peninsula have been reinforced to an
extent which will render Japanese
landing there difficult if not impossi-
BILE and the garrison at Port Arthur
has been amply provisioned to with
stand siege? 30 far as the peninsula
10 concerned the preparations there
may now be regarded as complete.
