question OF holding the Russian posi-
tion at Liaoyang depends upon cir
cum5tances. The Russians hold the
pass which commands the westerly ap-
proaches, but it is realized that the
position there also will be rendered
untenable If the enemy succeeds in
bringing up superior force along the
northern road to Mukden. An ulti-
mate retirement TO Harbin might pos
5ibly incur the danger of Chinese
uprising, which increases with the
Japanese successes and must be taken
into consideration. Should the news
of the enemy's victories infiame the
Chinese residents in Manchuria against
the Russians the latter's withdrawal
north of the zone of their hostility
might become imperative.
The possibility of active operations
against Vladivostok also have to be
reokoned with.
The general staff inyeighs against
4 too pessimstic view of the situation,
pointing out that the Japanese must
land another army before they can
hope TO make a strong advance move
ment. which will require time. In the
meantime the strength of General ku-
ropatkin's army and his position will
sally increase.

RESULT OF JAP VICTORIES.
Radical Change in Attitude of Euro
pean Press.

London, May 10.--A striking result
OF Russia's recent reverses is the
change In tone of the Continental
press, especially the German papers
The Berlin Posts st. Petersburg cor
respondent declares all confidence in
the conduct of the war lost The Vos-
sische Zeitung says Russia will have
to employ hundreds Of thousands OF
men and spend hundreds OF millions
of dollars before she can ever hope to
cope with Japan.
The Berlin and Paris press alike
realize that serious as the effects OF
Russia's defeats may be in Europe
they inevitably must be still graver in
Asia. The ST Petersburg correspond
ent of the Paris Matin says the effect
of the Japanese landing on the Lao
tung peninsula will be disastrous.
Generous eulogies are paid in all
quarters on the heroism of the officers
and men of the fireships at Port Ar
thur who volunteered for the forlorn
hope and few of swhom returned. The
fall of that place generally is antici-
mated by English commentators.
