SIGNAL FOR INTERVENTION
It Will Be Fall of Port ARTHUR, Says
~ .~r @.r+ Havashi $50

London, Oct. 14.-According to Baron
Hayashi, Port Arthur's downfall will
probably be the signal for intervention
in the far east. News of the battle be-
tween the Russians and Japanese was
eagerly awaited here turnout the day at
the Japanese legation. The suspense
was not untinged with anxiety, which
was more noticeable than at almost any
previous phase Of the war. Baron Ha-
yashi, the Japanese minister, said:
The reports of our successes welcome
as they are, must not be construed as
being forerunners of any decisive blow,
It is practically impossible for Marshal
Oyama to envelop and utterly crush Cen
eral Kuropatkin, just as it is equally i'm
possible for Kuropatkin to envelop
Oyarna. A victory in the battle now rag
ing chiefly means to us that Kuropatkin
must confess defeat, which is important,
but not decisive. He can put forward no
strateglcal excuse as at Liao-yang. ,;.....
y Any, retreat on the part of the Russian
forces now Is an open confession to the
whole world that they have suffered a. Sc
rious reverse. Hitherto it has always
been an open question in some quarters
whether Kuropatkin's strategy was not
more responsible for the Russian retire
ment than Japanese aggression.

Oyama's First Line Holds.

Let 1t be remembered that Oyama so far
has only been fighting from his first line
of defense. Retirement to Oyama merely
means falling back upon his main de-
lenses and base, namely Liao-yang,
where all preparations in the way of for
tifcations and ammunition have been
made for prolonged stand in case of
necessity. That Oyama has met Kuro-
patkin's advance on Yen-tai with a coun-
ter advance indicates a greater; state OF
preparedness on the part Of our forces
than interpreted.
But there Is some doubt of Oyama
could follow up any advantage gained in
what is comparatively an open fight
Oyama's acceptance Of a general engage
ment from his first weaker lines i'm
plies strength, which makes the motive
Of Kuropatkin's attack all the more puz-
zling.
I understand that such attempts as
Kuropatkin made to cut our lines Of COM
munication appear to have been confined
| to those connecting us with Korea. Some
Of, the military critics. seem to- forget
that our main lines of communication
are now with. Niu chuang and not with
the Yalu. This is an infinitely cheaper
and quicker method Of transporta ton
Our now secondary lines of communica-
ton over the Yalu river to Korea were
only maintained with great difficulty and
because We had no other alternative.
Present Peace Proposals Useless.
| Whatever the result Of the present
| battle, whether Oyama retires to his
| prepared positions at Liao-yang and or
the banks Of the Tai-tse river, OF
whether he forces Kuropatkin back to
wards Mukden, Baron Hayashi believes
that it will only have small bearing
upon the eventual decision Of the grin
issue at stake. He adds: 49, al - p
