strengthened by the Associated Press
dispatch from Gunshu Pass announc-
ing the Withdrawal of the Japanese
from the immediate front of the Rus
sian army for a distance Of thirty-fve
miles south. 1t is realized, of course,
that this may be merely blind to
cover nanking operations, but it is
not improbable that the japanese,
having cleared Southern Manchuria
of Russian troops and secured a posi-
ton from whence expulsion would be
a long and difficult process, may be
satisfied to hold the Tie Pass line
without further extension OF com
munication.
While the voice of the cmperor's
advisers is for peace if honorable
terms are obtainablo, the government,
as is the part of wisdom, is going for
ward with all provisions for the CON
tinuance of the war. Preparations
are reported to be making for the
mobilization Of five corps. 1t, had
been understood that the guards
would be retained at 81. Petersburg,
but some of the officers Of this crack
organization believe their services
have been requisIdonod and are max
ing preparations to that end. There
has been a recrudescence of reports
of change in the head of the war
office. 1t was stated last night in an
usually well-informed source that
Lieutenant General Sakbar0ff will
leave very shortly and be succeeded
by General Ridiger, now chief OF The
chancellery of the waronice, II is al
so reported thai General P0liyanoff
will be appointed chief of the general
staff. Both PoliyanoIf and Ridiger are
of the younger school Of generals, but
have high repute as theoroticians and
administrators. General Ridigcr is
the author of a number of text books
on tactics.
The government is advised that
Chinese bandits are appearing in
great numbers along the Siberian
railroad and causing interference with
the train service,
The internal situation is causing
great anxiety, though it is said that
the intellectuals - and the educat
ed classes generally disapproye of the
revolutionary spirit which is permeat
ing the peasantry and laborers in Pol
and. The Crimea is burning with dis
sent and the strong hand of the mill
tary force has been invoked to crush
the incipient revolution at Yalta, near
the emperor's summer residence. The
spirit of disorder has spread to Sc
bastpool. Moderate liberals in st.
Petersburg are becoming alarmed at
the situation, reports having been re-
ceived showing that an actual rcyo-
lutionary propaganda is being pushed
with vigor in many sections OF the
empire. The authorities Of the gov
eminent of Saratoff are closing the
schools there on account Of the peas,
ant disturbances.
