MlNlMIZEs THE AFFAIR.
St. Petersburg Does Not Regard Pres,
ent Fighting as Important.

81. Petersburg. March 1.-Aside from
news of the resumption of the Japanese
attack on Cauto pass, the war Office
las no dispatches from the front and
does not attach great significance to
the fighting to the eastward, saying the
forces engaged are comparatively
small, though they are suffering heav-
lily. The Associated Press dispatches
verify this conjecture. The position at
I'sinkhetchen, about seventy miles east
of Mukden, is far advanced in com
parison with the general line, and the
retirement of the russians was only
as far as the general alignment. But
the dispatches intimate the Japanese
are 0 concentrating against the
whole left flank. which is being heavily
reinforced in preparation for extensive
fighting.

Then he set about to make a flank
movement at the other extremity of
his line, to the southeast Of Mukden.
He advanced his lines and lined up to
make a terrific attack on Kuroki, when
suddenly a new Japanese force turned
up, coming from the east, and said to
be 10000 strong. This is said to have
been a new army entirely, which had
landed and marched around to the
Russian flank while Kuropatkin was
watching kuroki and feeling secure.

to this terrific thanking movement on

great attack on Tie pass, which is for
ty miles north of Mukden, with strong
