RUSSIAN PUBLIC CONVINCED AN
IMPORTANT ENGAGEMENT
IS IMPENDING.
OUTPOST AFFAIRS SUDDENLY CEASE
kUROPATKiN AND kURcKi EVIL
CENTLY PREPARING FOR
DECISIVE BATTLE.

ST Petersburg, June 9.-The reports
Of sorties from and attacks on Port
Arthur coming in from foreign sources
arouse the liyeliest 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 retieent and the public is con
vinced that an important battle, which
may decide the fate of the campaign,
is impending. The outpost engage
ments between the main armies of Gen
erals kuropatkin and Kuroki have sud
denly ceased. Such lull frequently
occurs after two armies have been for
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 ii 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
Elaborateiy Fortified His Position
at I.iaoyang in anticipation of pos
sible forward movement on the part OF
Kuroki aud the army landed at Taku-
shan. But Kuroki's failure to assume
the aggressive and the approach of the
rainy season, which would stop opera
tions, as well as the pressure to i'm
pede General Oku's army, may have
been determining factors in dispatch
ing a force southwark, the strength OF
which Is as much mystery as ever.
The Japanese apparently are not
averse TO this advance, having already
withdrawn before it to below Wafan-
dian. LII Kuroki should now push In
behind this force across the head OF
the Liaotuns peninsula Kuropatkin, in
the opinion of military experts, with
nothing to fear on his flank, is certain
to come down from the north and
decisive battle might occur in the
neighborhood of Haicheng.
The admiralty is convinced that
either the battleship Yashima or the
battleship Shilishima has been lost
off Talienwan This belief is based Oh
Chinese reports which have heretofore
proved reliable.
The emperor, in discussing the war
situation at Tsarskoe-Selo with prom.
inent diplomatist, although expressing
complete confidence in the ultimate
outcome of the war, displayed consid-
cradle concern over the fate OF Port
Arthur against which, he said, he be-
lieved the enemy was directing his
principal energies.

Tendency Of the Times

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. It is easier to pre-
vent than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one OF
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented bv the use of Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from a cold or from an attack
of influenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy has been used dur
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grip in recent years, and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. It always
cures. For sale by Forsyth Drug
