TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND OF MI.
kADo's TROOPS READY TO
ATTACK THE ENEMY.
RUSSIAN POSITION MOST DESPERATE
ONLY HOPE SEEMS TO BE TO RE.
TREAT WESTWARD OR LAY
DOWN THEIR ARMS.

Newchwang, Aug. 5.-The greatest
battle of the war Is now impending.
The two huge armies of Japanese and
Russians are facing each other and
are in touch for miles upon miles,
with the center of operations at An
shanshan. The Japanese supply trains
are filling the roads to the front. Jap
anese troopships, crowded with rein
forcements, are in the outer bay here
ready to land
General Kuroki, with the flower of
the army. 100000 in number, has
fianked the Russians and is now be-
hind them. General Nodzu, with his
army of $4,000, is on the Russian left
in complete control of that flank,
while on the Russian front is General
Oku. with his army of $4,000 men.
The battle at Anshanshan promises
to be one of the greatest of modern
times. General Kuropatkin's only hope
is a move westward or surrender.
News from Port Arthur tells of an
apparent final assault by the Japanese
investing forces Three hundred and
fifty guns were in action; under this
terrific bombardment the infantry adj
vanced and the Russians were driven
into their last line of defenses, which
are at the very gates OF the city.

CRITICAL HOUR IS NEAR
JAPANESE ANxtOUSlY AWAITING
NEWS OF A VICTORY AT
PORT ARTHUR.

Toxic, Aug. 5.-The Japanese are
hourly awaiting tidings of a victory at
Port Arthur with more interest and
eagerness than heretofore displayed
during the war From political,
Strategical and sentimental standpoint
the position of the Russian fortress
and naval base is considered OF para
mount Importance to the japanese. 1t
Is known that the Japanese moose
about the besieged city is gradually
Tightening The Japanese guns are
pouring fire into the diminishing cir
Gle and it is felt here that the critical
hour is fast approaching. But the pub
lie mere is ignorant of the hour when
the final assault will be made and also
OF the details OF the work already done
around Port Arthur. 1t is believed
that the fire from the Japanese batter
les will compel the Russian feet TO
leave the harbor and accept battle
from Admiral Togo. 1t is becoming
proyerbial that the japanese infantry
will advance and not retire no matter
how great their losses may be. 1t Is
believed that POrt Arthur could have
been taken before this with a heavy
sacrifice OF lie, but IL is evident tnat
the military leaders are WORKING TO
effect the reduction and captule the
fortress with the minimum loss OF lie.
There will be no charges OF great
masses OF infantry until the artillery
has finished the task OF sllencIng the
Russian guns. A story is current to
the effect that the emperor has ex-
pressed the wish that the capture
should be effected with the smallest
possible sacrifice of life, hence the
care and precision taken by the Jap
anese in approaching the Russian de-
lenses and placing the engines with
which to clear the way.

Controversy Over Sinking of British
Steamer knight Commander.

London, Aug. 5.-The controversy
over the sinking of the British steam
er Knight Commander is not expected
either In British governmental or Rus
sian diplomatic circles here to reach
an acute stage. both governments hav-
ing adopted a conciliatory attitude
While the final reply OF Russia to the
British protest has not yet reached the
foreign Office the Associated Press
learns that Count Benckendorff, the
Russian ambassador, had an extended
conference with Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne which brought the two gov
ernments appreciably nearer settle
ment 1t is known that Lord Lans-
downe instructed Sir Charles Har-
dinge, the British ambassador at ST.
Petersburg, TO discuss the question OF
compensation for the owners of the
knight Commander with Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff and it is believed here
that the latter will not fail to make
an equitable offer which will be salts
factory to the British government.

BEGINS AN INVESTIGATION.
German Government Looking Into the
SINKING of the Thea.

Berlin, Aug. 5.-The German govern
ment has instituted an investigation
into all the circumstances connected
with the sinking OF the German
steamer Thea by the Vladivostok
squadron off the coast of Japan, pre-
paratory to making representations at
st. Petersburg. Among the questions
subject to the inquiry is the amount
OF coal on board, whether 1t was too
little TO enable her to steam to Vladl-
vostok, and also the proportion of pro-
visions in her cargo, whether 1T exceed
ed half the cargo, thus subjecting the
vessel to capture under the Russian
prize regulations. Germany, apparent
ly, is doing nothing to clear up the
matter through her commercial agent
at Vladivostok, who is Russian sub
ject. The German government admits
that Vice Admiral Skrydloff acted
within the Russian prize regulations
in capturing the Thea, but the officials
intimate that the foreign Office ques-
tions the right of capture when pro-
visions are consigned to private firms
instead of to, a hostile government.
The foreign Office, however, says no
serious complications will grow out of
the case.

SURVIVORS REACH cHEFco.
Tell of Sinking of Steamer Hipsang
by Russians.

Chefoo, Aug 5.-Twenty-one sur
vivors of the British steamer Hipsang,
which was sunk by a Russian torpedo
boat in Pigeon bay on July l6, arrived
here during the day on board the Ger
man steamer Sulberg. Among the sur
vivors are three Europeans. When
the Hipsang commenced to sink the
Chinese on board rushed for the boats
and the Europeans were compelled to
swim. Finally they were rescued by
the torpedo boat and were confined
until Aug. at Port Arthur when they
were ordered to leave in junk which
was provided for them. After embark
ing on Aug. the junk was picked up
by Japanese torpedo boat, which Of
fered to tow them to Chefoo. Admiral
Togo's flagship, however, signalled a
refusal and the Junk proceeded alone.
Later the refugees were taken on
board the German steamer Sulberg,
which reached port during the day.
