AS London Views Il.

London, Sept. 2.-1his mornings
newspapers comment upon the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches from Mukden.
saying that the train service between
Mukden and Lao Yang Is interrupted
and that the roads are impossible, as
the most important news from the
scene of the hostilities in the far east,
and say that there is only n mean
ing of it, that the Japanese have aaiz-
ed the railway between Lao Yang
and Mukden.
Correspondents Of the Daily Chron,
icle and the Daily Mail assert that the
Japanese occupied Lao Yang Thurs
day.
There is no official confirmation OF
these statements, bat the latest OFF
cial dispatch TO the Japanese legation
here reports the capture of the
heights southwest OF Lao Yang al
dawn Thursday. This dispatch adds
"Thereupon the enemy south OF Lilac
Yang commenced to retreat. Our
armies are now pursuing him."
Commenting upon the situation In
the far east, all the morning news
papers discuss the problem as to
whether General Kuropatkin will be
able to extricate his forces or wheth
or Marshal Oyama will succeed in
completing the victory by enyelopint
and destroying the Russian army
The consensus of opinion is that Gen
eral Kuropatkins position is most per
ilons.

right bank OF the Taitse river became
necessary so that the Russians would
be able to repel a blow in that direc'
ton and that General kuropatkln's
movement was the carrying out oil a
well defined idea rather than a r.
treat.
The same dispatch points out with
notable lack OF comment that the ia
panese took advantage OF General Ku'
ropatkin's withdrawal TO occupy the
city of Lao Yang.
The second dispatch which may
have a significant bearing on the cam
paign. is that filed at Mukden az 9:2i
p. m. Thursday, stating that the rail
road between Mukden and Lao Yang
was interrupted. and ii may mean the
cutting of railroad communication
which may deprive General kuropat
kin of an opportunity to retreat TO
his more northern base at Mukden
AS pointed out in the st. Petersburg
dispatch, the Mukden correspondent
does not mention whether telegraph
communications are open.

at . p. m. Thursday. said that popu
lar estimates of the date of the falI

Although General kuropatkin has

Is intense over the final issue of the
titanic struggle. In view of the mum,
Der of men and guns engaged, the
carnage will doubtless be great on

than half a million men. with
about 1900 guns, fighting for the mas

The public is so hungry for news
from official sources that the failure
to give out adyices last night is inter
preted ominously in some quarters,
but is e%xplainable by the theory that
General K~uropatkin is too busy in the

pare reports for publication, his he
ports to the emperor containing STRAIT
egic information which can not be
published.

driven to attack General Kuropatkiu
by disappointment over the failure oil
operations at Port Arthur. All the
papers point out that the decisive mo
