oYAMA IN CHARGE.
Japanese Field Marshal Changing Plans
Of the Campaiun.

ST. Petersburg. July 233.-.As an out
come of Lieutenant General Count
,ke!lers engagement at Molten pass
the military experts are convinced that
there has been a Encouragement of the
Japanese troops. and a change in the
Japanese plans in favor OF a thanking
movement on Tatchekiao. This change
,coinciding with the arrival of Field
Marshal Oyama. leads the experts to
attribute the responsibility to the new
icommander-in-chie Whoever is re-
'sponslble. 1t is admitted that the Jap
'anese are showing an appreciation of
the present aspect of the campaign.
Hitherto General Kuropatkin has been
able to mislead General Kuroki, Gen.
,eral Nodzu and General Oku and 10
induce them to expend their greatest
energy where 1t should do the least
harm.
The center of interest has again been
transferred to Lao Yang and the Rus
slams are able at his %juncture to regard
the situation with proper equanimity.
ri Lao Yang position is of such
strength that Kuroki's advance would
be welcomed by General Kuropatkin.
~ Is probable that Kuropatkin ordered
keller to attack to draw on the Jap
anese just as he sent General Stakel-
berg to draw them up from the south.
The developments Of the campaign in
the near future are bound to be greatly
influenced by a new factor, the luxur-
lance of the vegetation following the
few days rain and by the rains them
selves. which are due any day. The
tall grass effectually concealing an
enemy. renders the prospect of an adj
n TO the valley Of the Lao river
too hazardous. and therefore 1t prob
ably has been abandoned by the jap
anese. thus explaining the delay in the
occupation of Yin kow. On the other
hand. II the rains begin soon, 1t is ex-
tremely improbable that Field Marshal
Oyma will venture to order an advance
pm Lao Yang, in view of the enormous
i~ifficulties of transportation over the
heavy roads and the swollen streams.

Just after OLeary's interview, the police

police defied the temporary injunction of
the court by tearing out four telephones
and confiscating the instruments. Barry
