Shantaikow is situated on the rail-

ST. PETERSBURG. April 2o.--What
may turn out to be the anticipated sfank-
ing movement OF the japanese troops Is
the appearance OF number OF japanese
ships off Potensia. near the Gulf Of Ching
Tai Use as reported to the Emperor to-.
day by General Kuropatkin. Military ex-
perts here have long regarded that vicln-j
ity as the probable point OF dlsembarka-
ton OF the second Japanese expedition,
1t is not far away from T Takushan (l2
miles to the easD and connects by road
with Port Arthur tl5o miles to the south

the northwesD where the Russians made
thetr first obstinate resistance.
Though the Japanese are building en-
trenchnlents on the Yalu. tt4iss believed
they will advance soon. The arranger
ments for a turning movement are COM
plete and experts say that such q move
ment could properly be given at Takll-
