JAPs TAKE OFFENSIVE
Mu<den Hears oyama's East From
Has Advanced.

Mukden Hears oyama's East Front
Has Advanced.
Mukden. Oct. 2S.-News has just
been received here that the Japanese
assumed the offensive on the east
front and made a slight advance.
II is rumored that the Japanese
have taken all the Russian positions
at Erdagou. between Hunansian and
Findiapu. on the road from Mukden to
Bentsiaputze, but the report has not
been confirmed and looks improbable.
There was reconnaissance in force
last night by the Russian western
flank. and desultory firing continued
until o'clock a. m. The Japanese
were discovered to be hurriedly forh-
flying along the whole line. but this
does not. OF course. preclude the pos
sibility of an attack by them 1t is the
general opinion here that serious
events will not develop for some days,
hut judging by the hurried manner in
which the Chinese are settling their
money affairs in Mukden, they are OF
a different opinion.
This morning occasional shots were
heard on the western front There Is
every indication that when the mex
fight comes It will be Of a desperate
| character.

st. Petersburg. Oct. 2S.-The mystery
Of the trawler affair. insNaad Of being
cleared up by Vice Admiral Roiest-
vensiSy's report appears to be deeper
than ever, and it is felt that a direct
issue has now been raised between
Russia and Great Britain, and that the
Incident has entered upon an even more
delicate stage. Public sentiment in both
Countries doubtless will demand the
most searching investigation to estab-
FISH facts. and probably neither nation
win be willing TO accept the result Of
an ex-parte inquiry by the other. The
outcome probably will be a mixed
tribunal Of some sort. This at least is
he suggestion Of some Of the cooler
men here. as Il is felt that only thus
ould a repetition of the Maine inquiry
ba avoided
Popular excitement has reached a
pitch uneoualled since the beginning
Of the war Public sympathy and con-
adence undoubtedly are with Admiral
Rojestvensky. and should Russia
,hoose to stand upon his version with
lut further inquiry, there Is no ques-
lion but such a course would be popu-
lar with the masses. who would be will
ing to back the government In the con-
troversy TO the utmost extremity. IL is
most unlikely, however, that the gov
ernment will adopt such a course. Il is
much more probable that after the first
flush OF excitement has faded a middle
way will be found whereby the facts
can be established and the national
pride OF both countries be maintained.
IN diplomatic circles Rojestvensky's
report created the keenest interest. or
course the government accepts the re-
port in good faith. but II an inquiry
should prove that the report was pre-
pared to shield himself, the most Sc
we're punishment will be meted out to
him.
If. on the contrary, II is proved to be
correct. It will place Great Britain in
an awkward position. In either event
the situation might be rendered more
acute. and the feeling among the diplo-
mats Is that. pending a solution of all
the questions in doubt the greatest
tact and moderation should be OBJ
served by the statesmen and newspa-
pers OF both countries.
Reports that Great Britain has de-
manded the punishment Of the authors
Of the trawler incident are untrue.
Great Britain has not yet made any
specific demands except for an inquiry,
pending which there can be no question
Of n demand for punishment.

Tremendous Activity Reported From
All Dock Yards.
London. Oct Is. ~ Notwithstanding
the diplomatic check in consequence of
Admiral Rojestvensky's report, II is
evident that Great Britain is prepar-
ing for the possibility of war Tremen-
dous activity is reported from all the
dock yards. where vessels under repairs
are being made ready for sea under
urgent orders from the admiralty. At
Cardiff Il Is stated that admiralty
agents are securing great quantities OF
coal Cor Gibraltar Portsmouth, Malta
and other ports. and paying high
freights. The Mediterranean fleet Is
fastening in the direction of Gibraltar,
and II Is announced that the Channel
squadron. with decks cleared, will
leave Gibraltar this morning. It's al
legged object being a sham att. k on
the rock" The home feet, likewise. Is
concentrating In fact almost the en-
tire British navy is pointing in the di-
rection of the Baltic fleet. portion OF
which IS expected 10 sail from Vigo
during today.
Perhaps the most significant develop
ment is the cabinet meeting. which is
called for noon today. While the
call was issued prior to the receipt
OF Roiestvensky's report which has
changed the situation considerably and
appears TO place some OF the burden
of proof upon Great Britain. the meet
ing undoubtedly marks the reaching Of
a serious stage
While up TO the present time the
government has maintained an almost
complete silence with regard to the
progress of the affair. Il is considered
almost certain that Premier Balfour,
who will mako speech at Portsmouth
tonight, will. after a conference with
the entire cabinet, be in position TO
make some definite announcement.
/ Public sentiment, which hitherto has
oeen kept under remarkable CO rol.
yill hardly stand the passing of an
other day. and especially because Of
the opportunity Afforded by Mr. Bal
tours appearance on the platform, un-
less some satisfactory explanation is
made.
Admiral Rojestvensky's report SEEM
ed to stagger almost every one It's
statements were received with incre-
dulity. and evidently the reply was re-
garded as merely an adroit counter in
order to gain time The text Of the
admirals kilograms are calculated to
infame, instead OF allaying. the re-
sentiment Of the British public. His
statement that he "endeavored to snare
the trawlers and ceased to fire as soon
as the torpedo boats were out of sight &"
together with the virtual accusation of
completely with supposed japanese tor
pedo boats against the fishermen is
hardly likely TO reconcile an angry ma
ton to the possibility that there is an.
other side to the case calling for an
investigation.
