ALL is QUIET.
Probable That Hostile Armies Will
Not Move Before Spring.

Huanshan, December 2S.-Everything
continues quiet along the front of the
hostile armies There Is little expecta-
ton of a decisive movement till spring,
when it will be possible for both sides
to throw in strong re-lnforcements and
recommends the campaign in earnest.
In the meantime the chief Japanese
uneasiness seems to be with regard to
their communications eastward They
have an unusually full equipment OF
narrow guage field railroads. one of
which connects General Kuroks base at
Shahsdzi with Feng Wang Cheng with
a branch to Saimatsza. supplementary
line is being constructed connecting Lao
Yang with Hal Cheng There is an i'm
portant line of warehouses along the Yalu
river, and many bridges have recently
been constructed with a care unusual
in field operations. This elaborate sys-
tym has been seriously threatened by
General Rennenkampff' raids southeast
ward
There are many evidences that the Jap
anese are strengthening ard fortifying
their line of communication toward Iko-
rea, which will necessarily absorb a
considerable force.
