to reports from St. Petersburg, that
Gen. K~uropatkin has notiied the en-
peror that he can not adopt offensive
measures before the two army corps
NOW being modified in European Rus-
sia arrive at the theater Of war.
Kuropatkin attributes the necessity
of confning himself to defensive op-
erations to the fact that the rem
forcements which were Dispatched
many weeks ago to Port Arthur, Vlad-
livestock and the Yaln river, ave
greatly weakened his main army
1t is possible, though extremely
improbable, that the second eastern
Siberian division of infantry now en-
Moved in the defense of the usSari
coast and territory may be withdrawn
10 Mukden, and thence to Lao yang
in time to assist in meeting the Japan
ese attack.
The mixed corps under Gen. Hassa-
itch. which was defeated al the 1alu
river, may also be expected to erect d
junction with the Russian main army,
but the fate Of the fourth eastern ST.
berian division of infanty is irretrieva-
bly, bound up with that Of Port Ar
thur.
The total strength of the Russian
forces at Lao Yang, including the
| fourth Siberian army corps which il
now well on the way to the japanese
headquarters, can not therefore exceed
400 900 men, according to the most IA
vorable computation.
