armies, operating in separate parts of
Manchuria, Kouropatkin might have a
chance to throw his Liaoyang army first
at one then at the other of his enemy's
segments, beating each in turn. On land
the I4iaoyang concentration gives the
Russians the benefit of interior lines.
Cossack outposts have advanced unin-
terruptedly to within eighty miles of
Gensan, on the eastern coast Of Knrea.
This shows that the mysterious Japanese
army which landed at Gensan did NOT
march north and that the reported land
ing Mt Possiet bay was either a myth or
feint. There are certainly no Japanese
soldiers in that vicinity at present.

WAR DURING THE WEEK.
Little Sea Fighting -Russia Now I'M
able to Prevent Japs Landing.

able to Prevent Japs Landing.
There was little sea fighting during
the last week. The Japanese have been
feinting up and down both sides Of the
Liaotung peninsula with transport fleets.
According to the Chicago Tribune's STRAIT
egist, they mean to bewilder the enemy
as to their eventual landing place, and,
if possible, to weary him by inducing him
to shift his troops rapidly from one point
on the coast to another.
The Russians will be unable to prevent
Il landing. They cannot fortify and gar
rison the entire south Manchurian coast.
They will have to permit the landing,
and thereafter try to make the Japs
sorry they ever came off the water. The
only naval exploit performed by the Rus
slams during the week was the blowing
up of one of their own launches, together
with its crew of twenty-One men. The
launch was laying mines in Port Arthur
to destroy the japanese. The battleship
Pobieda which was struck by a mine
few minutes after the sinking of the
Petropavlcvsk, turns out to have been
hopelessly damaged.
The main japanese force is now at
Win, spreading eastward considerable
distance. It is believed by the Russians
that japanese division is approaching
the middle reaches of the Yalu with the
intention of crossing there. The Man
churian country opposite is much less
lilly than TO the west. The position of
his putative division is indicated on the
nap with a question mark after it.
1t is believed that not over four Rus
sian regiments remain on the Yalu oppo-
site Wiju. They will try to make the
japanese crossing as bloody as possible
md then .etreat. The Japs have seized
he islands in the middle of the river,
which at the beginning Of the week were
n the hands of their enemies
The Japs have fortified line from
Iensan across to Chinnampo. behind
which they meant to stick at all hazards,
even if they had bad luck in the battle
fields to the north.
The main Russian concentration is
now supposed to be at Liaoyang. If the
Japanese forces divide into two or more

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

A dispatch from Port Arthur reports
she complete destruction of a japanese
column on the Yalu river.
i, 1t is said that on the eve of the dis
nster to the Petropavlovsk Vice Admiral
ii akaroff telegraphed to the Gar that
lee was about to fight a decisive action

leat Russia is negotiating with the prin-
pal French banks for a loan of $780,

. A ST, Petersburg telegram says the
gar has expressed the desire that the
,saltic feet be ready to sail for the far
East by July Is. Orders are issued to
hasten the work on the ships.
Two suspected japanese have been ar
rested on the railroad near Nologda, in
lortheastern Russia, 302 miles from Mos
cow, with plans in their possession of

the island of Solovetsky, in the White
sea-.
Floating mines have been seen off the
Shan-Tung promontory in the much-used
followed by vessels bound to and
from Shanghai and CheFoo and Tien-
tsin and other northern ports. This is
extremely dangerous to shipping and
will cause an increase in ma
rine insurance.
Rumors are in circulation that two
beggars made an attempt to assassinate
Gen. Kuropatkin while he was in New
chwang recently. The beggars were ar
rested and found to have knives con-
realed. 1t is said they were japanese.
Captain Crown, who went down with
the Petropavlovsk, joined that ship on
the previous day. having succeeded in
getting through from Shanghai, where
he left his vessel, the gunboat Mandjur.
Captain Crown was a descendant of a
Scotchman who fought with Russia in
the war with Sweden, when he captured
the first RetviZan.

Laying Mines at EOrI arthur
Twenty-one men were killed when
Russian launch struck Russian mine in
Port Arthur harbor Friday. The
launch was engaged in placing mines.
The news of this latest fatal carelessness
