London, By Cable.-That the curtain
Ia drawn again over the progress of the
war problem indicates that important
events are impending or afoot. The ex-
plosions heard at Port Arthur suggest
that the Russians have renewed their
attempts to remove distractions in the
mouth of the harbor. All kinds of ru-
mors are current, few of which appear
to have any reliable basis.
Various special correspondents in st.
Petersburg report increasing depression
in Russia over the prospect OF the fall
Of Port Arthur and say that wild re-
ports are in circulation Of dissensions
over questions of policy and strategy.
The Daily Mail gives great promi-
nence to a statement from a Russian
correspondent declaring that Russia
will stand or fall by Port Arthur as far
as the governments prestige with the
lower classes is concerned.
internal troubles are inevitable
the correspondent says. Should the
fortress fall. Count Lamsdorff displays
a strong personality, but his position
ie precarious, and he is likely to be sac
riiced as a scapegoat to popular in
dignation at the way the war has been
conducted. Although it is said that
General Kuropatkin has lost favor at
court, no change in the commander
ship of the army is contemplated"
The St. Petersburg correspondent OF
Reuters Telegraph Agency says that
increasing anxiety is felt over the rest
lessness of Chinese troops on the Man
churian frontier. The Morning Posts
correspondent in st. Petersburg goes
90 far as to say that Russia is prepar-
Ing to cope with a serious Chinese in
vasion.
A dispatch to the Standard from St.
Petersburg asserts that no preparations
whatever have been made to organize
transport service down the great wa
terways Of the Sungari and Amur
rivers. Great Indignation is felt over
the dicoverey that several wealthy Rus
sian firms secretly assisted in the re-
cent Japanese loan."
A dispatch to the Morning Post from
Shanghai says that some OF the war
ships at Port Arthur have been beached
and their guns removed to the land
works. The Shanghai correspondent
also says that Field Marshall Yamagata
has been appointed viceroy of the ter
ritories Japan has occupied since the
war began. This is the only reference
this morning to the statement of the
Daily Express Saturday morning that
Field Marshal Yamagata had been ap-
rointed commander-in-chief Of the jap
anese army of invasion.
The Stanrad's Tien Tsin correspond
ent reports that the Russian forces are
being withdrawn gradually northward,
the Russians being aware that a strong
force OF japanese is gathering in the
passes northeast of Mukden.

Miss Ryan has laid the scene Of her
story In Virginia and made 1t a story
Of modern life. 1t does not contain
