BRIGANDS CAUSE TROUBLE.
Conditions in the Caucasus Said to
Be IntOIerabIe.

Berlin, Jan. S.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Bokal Anzeiger
says that conditions in the Caucasus
are intolerable, owing to the Armenian
revolutionary movement and the ex-
cesses of the brigands.
The correspondent adds that the
Grand Duke Nicholas has arrived at
SIT. Petersburg for the purpose of
explaining to the Car that Prince
Galitzin, the governor general of the
Caucasus, is unequal to dealing with
the situation.
The trouble in the Caucasus is the
result of an imperial decree confiscat-
ing the entire property of the ancient
Armenian Church in Russia. An As
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Vienna,
dated Dec. Is. said that according to
advices received there, large quantities
of arms and ammunition reported to
have been bought by Armenian COM
mittees in Paris, London, and New
York, had been smuggled into the Ar
menian districts in Southeastern Rus
STA, and that all was in readiness for
q general insurrection in the Caucasus
in the spring.

THE TENSION is INCREASING
Russian Public Convinced That an Import
ant Engagement is Impending Between
the Armies of Russia and Japan.

st. Petersburg, June 9.-The reports
of sorties from and attacks on Port
Arthur coming in from foreign sources
arouse the liveliest interest here. The
government, not having means Of com.
munication with the fortress, accepts
them with reserve. The authorities
generally believe that the reported
march of events in the front of Port
Arthur is little too rapid.
The tension over the situation at the
theater of war is manifestly increas-
ing. The general staff is becoming
more reticent and the public is con-
WINGED that an important battle, which
may decide the tate Of the campaign,
is impending. The outpost engage
ments between the main armies of Gen
erals Kuropatkin and kuroki have SUD
denly ceased. Such a lull frequently
occurs after two armies have been toI
some time in touch and just before
they are ready to strike. KurOki has
not yet moved, according to the latest
advices, but is drawing in his skir-
mishers as il preparing to do so. De-
velopments on the lower part of the
Liaotung peninsula may determine
when and where the two armies will
come in collision. Kuropatkin has
deliberately Fortified His Position
at Liaoyang in anticipation of a pos
sibla forward movement on the part o.
