JAPANESE FORTlFYING.
Serious Fighting Near Moukden
Not ETpected for Several Days.

Moukden. Oct 27.-There was reconnaissance
in force last night by the Russian western
flank, and desultory firing continued till
a m. The Japanese were discovered to be hur-
riedly fortifying along the whole line but this
does not. of course, preclude the possibility Of
an attack by them. 1t is the general opinion
here that serious events will not develop for
some days, but, judging by the hurried manner
in which the Chinese are settling their money
affairs in MOukden. they are Of a different opin-
ion.
This morning occasional shots were heard on
the western front
The whole army is delighted with the appoint
ment Of General Kuropatkin commander in
chief Of the land forces in the Far Fast The
one idea among the men is to advance. There
is every indication that when the next fight
comes 1t will be Of a desperate character.
Every precaution has been taken by the Rus
SLAMS to deal generously with Chinese who have
suffered through the fighting in their territory
Not only has a special commission been created
for the purpose OF paying for all food and forage
commandeered, but compensation is awarded for
houses In villages destroyed This course has
astonished the natives beyond measure. and
there have been many remarkable scenes dur
ing the disbursements by the commission Chi
nese who had suffered by the loss Of property
officers for repayment.
Fighting began at 10 O'Clock last evening
south of Nfoukden. The Japanese have advanced
to the village Of Jerdagan, which they are re-
ported to have captured after fight lasting
until this morning.
There was an artillery fight on the night Of
October 26 on the north shore OF the Shakhe
River directly south of Moukden. The can
Lonadng, which was heavy continued to-
day The Russians are attacking. If unsuc-
cessful they will fight right up to the walls OF
Moukden.
The artillery firing on the Russian left which
began yesterday and lasted during the night.
has spread south
The weather has again cleared up. and is
much better for active operations. The days
are warm and sunny. but the nights are cold,
ard some of the Russian troops. whose winter
Overcoats have not arrived. suffering from
the cold.
Suspicious movements Of the japanese have
been observed west of the railroad. The Chi
ese say positively that the Japanese are pre-
pairing to turn The Russian right or break
through vulnerable point OF the lines.
With the Russian Eastern Army. by way Of
MOukden. Oct. 27.-The heavy firing last night
and this morning was only the artillery ex-
changing shots. Both firing lines are now facing
each other without outposts
Che-FoO oct 27.-NO further news has
reached Che-FO0 concerning the operations at
Port Arthur.
News has Just been received here that the
japanese yesterday assumed the offensive on the
east front. and made slight advance
1t is rumored that the Japanese have taken
all the Russian positions at Erdagou. between
Huansian and Findiapu. on the road from Mouk-
den to Bentsiapudza. but the report has not been
confirmed and looks improbable

WAR PREPARATIONS.
Being 4ctively Made by Great
Brftain-T Tessels Mobilized.

London, Oct. 2S.-Notwithstanding the diplo-
matte check in consequence Of Admiral Rojest-
vensky's report, it is evident that Great Brit
ain is preparing for the possibility Of war.
Tremendous activity is reported from all dock
yards. where vessels under repair are being
made ready for sea under urgent orders from
the Admiralty. At Cardiff it is stated that
Admiralty agents are securing great quantities
Of coal for Gibraltar. Portsmouth, Malta and
other ports. and paying high freights The
Mediterranean feet is hastening in the direc-
ton of Gibraltar, and it is announced that the
Channel squadron. with decks cleared, will leave
Gibraltar early this morning, its alleged object
being "sham attack on the Rock" The home
feet, likewise. is concentrating. In tact almost
the entire British navy is pointing in the direc-
ton of the Baltic fleet. a portion Of which is
expected to sail from Vigo to-day.
Perhaps the most significant development Is
the Cabinet meeting. which is called for noon
to-day While the call was issued prior to the
receipt OF Rojestvensky's report. which changed
the situation considerably, and appears to place
some of the burden of proof upon Great Britain
the meeting undoubtedly marks the reaching Of
a serious stage.

DENIAL BY BARON HAYAsHI.
No Vessels Chartered by His Government to

London Oct. 27.-Baron Hayashi the jap

the statement from Copenhagen that the Danish
Ministry Of Marine was informed recently that
several ships were chartered at Hull bv the
Japanese government to attack the Russian
Baltic squadron. and that thirteen Swedish yes

same purpose.
The japanese Minister said that no shin had

elsewhere TO destroy the Baltic squadron The
chartering and arming of thirteen ships Baron
Hayashi said, would be impossible in these
waters It would have been necessary to man
them with japanese, and there are not enough
