THE FIRING SLACKENS.
Engagement Not Yet GenerI-The
Weather UnfaUorabIe.

General Kurokis Headquarters, JAN 27.-Reg-
ular Manchurian weather prevails to-night-in-
tense cold, with cutting winds and swirls Of
snow.
Sounds of battle were heard at intervals along
the entire front this morning. The Russian
tillery was feeling the whole Japanese line.
1t is uncertain whether this will bring on a
general engagement or not. The japanese guns
refrained from replying 10 the Russians except
the left, where the fighting which ceased at
dark yesterday, renewed this morning
The clouds and made it impossible TO
see moro than few hundred feet away. The
Russian gunnery fire was largely guesswork-
Early this afternoon the firing stopped.
If the Russian operations were preliminary TO
q general attack, appears possible, their plans
frustrated by the storm and fog. They
could not have chosen time. The hard
ships of the soldiers, camping the plains
where there is shelter fuel and little water
are the worst yet encountered in this war.
