oYAMA COMES TO A HALT.
Awaiting the Result of the Impending
 Sea Fight.

St. Petersburg, May 27.-News from observation-disclosures that Field Mar shal Oyama's offense has come to a halt.
 The transport service between Ja- pan and the main line of Maunchuria is believed to have been suspended. Although the Japanese accumulated endorsements and large quantities of supplies on the main land since Ad miral Rojestvensky appeared in Chin ese waters. dictates of prudence of the decision of Admiral Togo against ad- visibility of accepting open battle with Rojestyensl1y may have induced a change in Oyama's plans.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press at Russian headquarters con firms the story of the change in the Japanese plans. He telegraphs that the Japanese are retiring al the slight and are shifting eastward seemingly with General Kuroli developing a turning movement against General Linevitch's left for the purpose of screening General Kawamura's army. which is reported to be still further east, presumably ready to march on Vladivostok.

 The correspondent also says the eyes of the whole Russian army are center ed on Rojestvenskv.

es of an engagement between the nav al forces of Admiral Togo and Rear Admiral Rojestvensky. It is believed that the fleet of Russian vessels seen a Saddle Islands comprised the main fighting strength of Rear Admiral RO- jestvensky's forces, and that after coaling there the Russians bravely headed for Tsu Islands electing to give battle in the event of meeting the warships under the command of the Japanese admiral.
 The fact that Rear Admira! Rojest- vensky appears to have used the For nosa channel has created surprise as it was generally expected that he would pursue a course eastward of Formosa. This increases the belief that the Russians are anxious to give battle.
 It is rumored that the Russian fleet divided into two souadrons as it ap- preached the Korean channel today.
 The navy department refrains from confirming or denying any of the score of reports circulating today. and has promised to advise the public in good time of any developments.
 The people have received the news of the prospective fight with elation, so great is their confidence in the prowess fo Admiral Togo. While it is thought that portion Of the Russian fleet is certain to reach VIadivostok it is believed that Admiral Togo is bound to seriously cripple the main fighting ships of his adversary.
