ST. PETERSBURG. -Gencrul Ku
roputkln reports tout reconnaissances
have established Uio Tact that the
Japanese are massing near Yetital
and RenslUputze. Hands of Japan
ese ate also moving in the Llao river
valley.
News from the front is exceedingly
meagre and the present lull in the
Dporatlons in Manchuria is expected
to continue for several weeks. Ever
3ince General Kuropatkin's retreat
definitely accomplished the best In
formed military circles were convin
ced that Field Marshal Oyama could
not Immediately renew his aggres
sive tuctics. AP the information
since received regarding the condi
tion of the Japanese armies has
strengthened the conviction that
Oyama will require a consldorablo
time to organize a now advance,
and it is now believed that he proh
ibit will wait reinforcements of
men and
losses ut
reported
Japan ut
guns to make good his
Llao Yang. Thcso, it is
will bo ready to leave
the end of the month,
it would create no sur-
Moreover,
prise here
if a Japan diversion is
attempted in tho direction of Vlad
ivostok to prepare the way for a
renewal of aggressive operations
against Mukden. In tho meantime
Kuropatkln is also obtaining rein
forcements. A large number of
guns and some independent troops
ure on their way to tho front and
the first detachment of the Odessa
corps is expected to be on its way
east by train soon.
There is considerable mystery
about Kuropatkin's plans. AlthouKh
all the information obtainable in
dicates that tho bulk of his army is
still around Mukden and the olllclal
intimations are that Kuropatkln
dues not contemplate retiring further
at present, there is considerable
skepticism on these points. About
all that Is definitely known is that a
considerable mi nit) or of his troops
have already gone north; that the
heights near the Llao river at Tie
pass have ueen fortified: that the
pass has been secured and that
cavalry is scouting wide on chu Rus
sian Hanks to signal the lirst indi
cation of a new turning movement
on the part of the Japanese- Only
outpost skirmishes of little kn por
ta nee have been reported.
The Japanese are not expuctcd to
redouble their ell'irts before i'ort
Arthur, hence the news received is
not encouraging. In spite of tho
success which hitherto has attended
tihe defense, the Russian lines are
being drawn closer, the garrison is
undergoing severe privations, and
its resisting power is weakening un
der the strain. A final sortie of tho
Russian squadron at J'ort Arthur
may be expected at any time. When
Ibo command of the squadron was
turned over to Rear Admiral Wlren
lie recoived strict instructions that
if the lortress rails not ono of the
Russian ships must fall into the
hands of tho Japanese.
A telegram from Harbin says the
following report has been received
from Port Arthur:
"Our garrison is in good spirits
and thero is no prospect of provisions
falling. Port Arthur is prepurod
to make a long, obstinate defense.
Tho Japanese are strongly fortifying
their positions near Kin Chou isth
mus, and are entrenching before
J'ort Arthur."
The Russian military critics, an
alyzing General Kuropatkin's ex
tended report of the battle of Lino
Yang, secern to unite in consider
ing that Field Marshal Oyaina'n pur
pose having failed, the honors he
long rather to Ku-opatkln than to
the Japanese commander-in-chief.
The Novoe Vremya draws a parallel
betweon Liau Yang and Rorodlno,
where General KutusofTs' abandon
ment of Moscow to Napoleon was
followed by the dlsasterous retreat
of the French.

ST. PETERSBURG .-Goneral
Kuropatkin's oflloial report, whlcl

tble relief as setting at rest alarmist
itories of the loss of guriB, the cut
ting off of divisions and the death

;ciy long one, enters at considerable
letall into the various phases of the
)attle of Liao Lang and entirely
,mrs out tho declaration of the
ssociatcd pross at tho time that
Seneral Orion's failure to hold tho
fust position at th2 Yentai mines
was responsible for the breaking
lown of the whole of General Kuro
latkln's plan of battle and turned a
potential victory in to defeat. The
nan tier in which tho retreat was
tarried out In tho face of the ter
'iblc condition of tho country and
iho determined pressure of the Jap
insee armies does much to restore
Jeneral Kuropatkin's prestige in
Military circles.
Tho waroillco is extremely reticent
regarding the present situation and
,'ututo plans at the front. There
lias been no rain the last two days,
tnd it is probable the country wll
oow dry up and leave two months ol
rood weather for the fall campaign.
Many things may happen during
this period, but the Associated
press is informed by a high author
ity that preparations aro being
steadily pushed looking to the win
tering of the Russian army ut Har
bin. The long expected detailed report,
if the battle of Liao Yang has been
received from Generul Kurnpatkin.
The war otllce says it will fill several
n.hirnns. The report cuvers tho
operations from August 2d to Sep

summary communicated to the pre

effected with much precision that
not a single field or fortress t gun

onicial organ of the forelgu ollicc
reeehes tho reports drifting back
through tho foreign press with in
2redulty. Tho Journal refers edl
tonally to what it calls a "stupefy
ing" article in the Paris Slecle rep
resenting President Roosevelt us t
new Moses seeking to impose on
Russia liberal treatment of Russian
Jews naturalized in the United

"Have those who have written or
inspired the article weighed the
temerity of the chimera, a roullza
tlon or which would be an Insult to
Russia."
After arguing at length the reu
sons for the Russian Jewish laws
the Journal proceeds:
"Washington says, 'Your restrictive
laws are barbarous. We condemn
them. We will break them.' Wash
ington claims that Russian Jews
naturalized In the United States are
entitled to escape the laws of the
empire, or the dignity of the United
States would be surrendered. No, a
thousand times no. Tho prestige of
the United States will not stiller.
We deny, and always will deny,
that a foreign country has the right
to make overtures for the classiiica
tlon of population under tho fiction
or rights acquired by naturalization
in America. A simple statement of
the case demonstrates its enormity.
American citlzons are always wel

ment similar to the citizens or other
countries. Rut that does not pro
vent our specifying conditions under
which foreign subjects can enter the
empire. Jf we wished to limit Im
migration as America does; If wo
wished to sotp Chinese immigration,
as America does, who would deny
our light to do so? Kvcu If wo re
served to ourselves the rigtit of
limiting tho domiciliary privileges
of native born Americans, who. were
not Christians, we would have tho
right to do so. Consequently with
greater reason, we have the right to
stop refuge Russian Jsaelltes who
might go to the Unitel States and
misplay exchange papers to come
hack afterwards, swept away the

of fact, they hare no tile. Under
artificial protection they thus create
a sore body politic. Onco moro we
refuse to bellere that President
Roosevelt, who has given so many
evidences of political etact has en
trusted tho American ambassador at
St. Petersburg with such a mis
sion." Further answer has been givcu to
Mr. McCorralck In tho matter, but
all hope that Russia will even un
