 The outcome Of this activity is in tense vigilance along the entire ex- tended front. This tension, taken in connection with reported reinforcement of the JapaEese by one and half di visions from Port Arthur, is likely 10 precipItate a great battle within few days. The combatants, however, ap- parcntly are not disinciined to winter in their present pos. tions. as since the last tour of the Russian positions made by the correspondent Of the Associated Press the forces have adopted a sys- tenn o1 housing in the field.
 From their immense bivouacs, both armies calmly behold each other and are able to distinguish each others en- trenching gangs as they drop their tools when relieved. These observe tious are made from points of vantage immediately outside the range of artil- lery which is intermittent in practice against the principal eminences. Japanese shells are daily breaking on PaEoda hill, which is the most con spicuous of the Russian positions, and in front of which the Chinese villagers remain in their homes. indicating that ] by some prearrangement with the Jap anese their homes will not be sheIled | by the latter.
