Ambushina Not Confirmed.

St. Petersburg. June 14.-No infor-
nation reached the general staff re-
garding the reported ambushing Of
Russians at Pu Ian Tien, as the re-
suit of which they were alleged TO
have lost 500 men. General news from
the southern part of the Lao Tung
peninsula Is of the scantiest, and in
the absence of official news the off,
cials here are not inclined to specu-
late as to the situation. Nothing fur
ther has been heard from Port Arthur.
The reports of continuous skirmishing
along the railway south of Vafandien
are taken to show that the Cossacks
are keeping the Japanese busy in pro-
tecting their rear. While heavy fight.
ing is not regarded as being immi-
nent. a more or less severe brush
with the enemy is likely at any time.
