st. Petersburg, Aug. although
public attention has been distracted
from the events of the war during the
past week, first because of tho fear Of
international complications, and, Sec
ond, because of the assassination of
Minister OF the Interior Won Plehye,
the situation at the front Is regarded
as critical
The enyeloplng movement OF the
three japanese armies Of Generals ku-
roki, NodZu and Oku around Gen. ku'
ropatkin's position appears to be al
most complete, and the extended line
OF the japanese seems to be the only
drawback to concerted action. It. Is
realized here that the Russian general
must row either fight or withdraw the
whole army northward. lie Is being
closely pressed at Haichcng, At that
place Gen. Kuroki's northern column
makes 1t extremely dangerous to re-
main there, because, while holding the
position to give battle against the Jap
anesc, whose advance is notoriously
always slow and careful, Gen. Kuroki
might push through and cut his rail-
way communications to Lao Yang.
While nothing Is definitely known,
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are rapidly maturing for
either a battle or retreat. For In
stance, the refusal to accept further
press teiegrams at Haicheng Is shown
by the fact that one of the correspon-
dents had to ride through to Mul,den
to file an account Of the Ia Tche-Klao
fight. This might be construed either
that preparati0ns are making for a re-
tirement, or that the wires are very
crowded, incident to concentration
at kai Cheng or Liao Yang.
There is no inclination here to doubt
that there may have been pretty Sc
we're fighting at the outer position OF
Port Arthur, possibly accompanied by
q bombardment from the sea, but II Is

ready to storm the fortress. Rear-Ad-
mlral Without, in command Of the ma
val forces at Port Arthur, is relied up
on to put to sea If the condition of the
fortress becomes desperate, While no
definite information is obtainable, the
report that the fortress is short of am
munition Is considered By the public
as the most disquietlns feature OF tho
situation.
The indications are that the Baltic
squadron Is on the eve Of an important
movement Nothing regarding this
can be ascertained officially, but many
of the officers already have said fare
well to friends and families, and are
holding themselves ready for instant
service. The emperor had arranged
to inspect the squadron, but his plan
was given up, owing to the assa3s!na'
ton of Minister Won Plehvc.

THE RUPTURE IS COMPLETE
The Differences Between France and
the Vatican Are Unreconcilablc.
Ordered to Leave aud the Pnpnl
Nuncio In Paris VIII Follow.

Paris, July 3l.--Althoush no official
announcement has yet been made, it
can be positively affirmed that the rup-
ture between France and the vatican
is complete. The holy sees lengthy
reply TO the French note, though most
courtcously worded, merely amounts to
polite statement that the pope does
not intend to infringe the stipulatlons
of the ooncordat and viii not with
draw the letters calling the bishops
OF Dion and Laval TO Rome.
Diplomatic courtesy iUrbids the pub
lication of the French answer until the
pope is notified but French Minister
Delcasse has sent NJ. DeCourcel, the
French charge daffalres at the vatican,
two notes, one for the papal secretary
OF state announcing the rupture. and
the second a personal note instructing
the charge d'affaires and the others
OF the stanf OF the embassy 10 return
to Paris Immediately after his mission
is accomplished, When NJ DeCourcel's
adyices reach French Minister DelcasSe
the latter will Immediately request the
papal nuncio here 10 leave France.
1t is not expected that the rupture
will have any immediate consequences
beyond the mutual Withdrawal of the
representatives. Of France and the vat
lean, and the suppression Of the EN-.
basgy and nurcialurc. as the denuncia-
tion Of the ConcUrdat requires parlia-
mentary sanction. Consequently, fresh
DEVELOPMENTS are improbable until the
appointment Of the new bishops come
up. Well-lnformed persons do not be-
leve that the vatican viii retaliate
by Withdrawing Frances protectorate
