Woodruff was foreman Of the Circle

kuropatktn Becomes Impressed
With the Fact That Gen. kurokt
Does Not Intend to Await the Fail
( of Port Arthur before Doing
/ Something Himself.

New Chwang, June 2.-The Russian
forecast OF the japanese plan of war is
being completely upset
Since the movement upon Port Ar
thur was begun by Gen. Oku's army,
the Muscovite officers have held that
the city was for the time the objective
OF the war, and that Gen Kurokis
Yalu army would content itself with
holding the Russians back of Feng-
Wang Cheng until II was reduced.
The recent developments have proved
this theory erroneous. The two armies,
while working to common end, are
evidently acting independently Each
has its work TO do, and it is now al
most certain that as hard blows will
be struck al Gen. Kuropatkin's main
army as will fall on Port Arthur.
The Outposts OF Kuroki's force are
daily attacking the Cossack scouting
parties, and there have even been
clashes between forces of 1000 or more
on each side. Near Simatsi. a large
Japanese force of infantray attacked
and routed 1900 Cossacks. Both sides
lost heavily.
There is no verifcation Of the report
that Kuropatkin is moving southwark
from Lao Yang, but it undoubtedly is
TRUE that Kuroki's army is advancing.
AS only rs miles lie between the op-
posing forces, great battle is likely
TO be fought in few days.

London, June "A special dispatch
from Rome says telegram has been
received there from Toxic reporting
that Gen. Kuroki has completely de-
feated Gen. Kuropatkin's forces near
Sumentse (probably Saimatsza or ST.
matsi).
All the Russian positions east Of
Hai-Cheng have been abandoned, ac-
cording to the telegram; several guns
have been taken, and whole squadrons
Of Cossacks captured,
1t is possible the news received in
Rome refers TO the fighting reported in
dispatches from Liao-Yang and St.
Petersburg.
These did not indicate a general en-
gagement, but showed that a series Of
sharp engagements had taken place
east Of Simatsi lasting from the morn

both sides and the retirement of the
