The sensational announcement that
Kuroh crossed the Hun river unop-
posed and that the whole Japanese
army is advancing upon Mukden is
overshadowed by the anxiety for Port
Arthur. Moreover. the announcement
relative to Kuroki does not receive
complete credence here. being in direct
contradiction Of official news received
by the general staff. Kuropatkin an
nounced two days ago that there was

Is considered more than doubtful that
