st. Petersburg, Aug. Silt is re>
ported from a reliable source that Gem
eral Stoesel has telegraphed That the
garrison at Port Arthur has already
suffered severely and intimating that
it is hardly possible to hold out for
more than a month or six weeks.
-Four more regiments will be raised
in the Caucasus. The first contingent
of the first army corps mas arrived at
Hardin. This corps was destined for
lNladiNostok, but upon the urgent re-
Quest of Kuropatkin it will be diverted
to Mukden.
An official dispatch from Lao Yang,
reporting the continued Japanese adj
vance on Sunday, confirms the report
that General Routkovsky was killed,
and adds that Colonel Vanraaben was
also killed. The total Russian losses on
Sunday are not known. but 400
wounded have passed through the first
aid stations. The losses of the Jap
anese We're considerable.
From an excellent source it is stated
that the i'll starred Russian battieShip
Orel. which already has suffered two
accidents, will not be able to join the
baltic squadron. According to reports,
her engine trials began it was
discovered the engines had been prac-
tically wrecked by workmen introduce

week.

Brief Bulletins on the War.

st. Petersburg. Aug. a.-The greatest
uncertainty prevails regarding the ac-.
tual situation at Lao Yang. There is
intense anxiety for definite news from
the front. but even the authorities are
frankly ignorant as to whether or not
the long expected decisive action viii
be fought at Lao Yang or further
northward.
1t is possible that a great battle is
now proceeding, and there are many in
dications that such is the case.
If this is SO the fate Of his years
campaign may be settled within forty
eight hours. AT the sa1ne time opinion
is Utmost equally divided, many be-
lieving that General K%uropatkin will
not make a stand, n that the Jap
anese will crack he shell only to ind
that the bird has flown.
