There was the great est hope of further news from Russian sources regarding todays battle. Crowds hung around the bulletin boards until a. m. and finally dis Dersed disarHCinted.

St Petersburg, Aug. "A report from an apparently reliable source late last night was to the effect that General Kuropatkin's main force has been rap- idly moving north for several days. According to this report no troops pro- ceedin@ to the front from Russia had gone past Harbin for the past three days. They will be detained there and ever:- available piece of rolling sto k will be pushed south empty for the re- moving of the troops at Liao Yang and other points, to the nnrthward. leaving d skeleton force to contest the Japanese advance on vital positions.
 If it is true as oointed cut in the foregoing it leaves the Russian force in an exceedingly serious position.
 Lacking definite information and if the Russian formation has not been broken by the capture of Siuoucheng, the authorities here say that if Kur-- patkin accepts a general enga cement they believe it will occur near Ans chantschan. half way between Hai- chen~ and Liao Yang, in which case the HaichenG force will fall back thith- CT and the Simouchen@ force under General Mitchensko on the northwaI d road to Yanzalin, is already fortified with view to such a contingency. YanZalin would then become the ad- vanCed position for AnschIntschan, the natural strength of which is shown by the fact that it was the only posit on the Chinese successfully defend ed against the Japanese.
 General KurCnatkin's roDOrts of ves- terday only carried the fighting up tn Sunday night, when the Russians had been driven in from the left flank ot the Simouchen@ position. The Rus slams Lad repelled several attacks and ore bayOnet charge in which there was @ desperate hand to hand fight at kauRwak Heights. Elsewhere the Rus eians were reported to be holding theil OWn
