ST. PETERSBURG. After foui
weeks' Interval tbe Japanese bate
resumed their advance against Gen
eral Karopatkin't" positions. Tbe
opposing armlet are la contact east
and south of Llao Yang and fight
iDg baa been Id progress since Wed
nesday. Tbe advicee at band are
too meagre to enable toe officials to
form a correct opinion as to whether
it will result Id a general engage
ment, but the extent and character
of tbe Japanese movement leads to
that conclusion. Since tbe rains
ceased a week ago there have been
continued Intimations that General
Kuropatktri, was about to assume
tbe offensive, but instead of that It
was the Japanese who attacked tbe
Russian" commander's eastern and
southern positions. A Japanese
column 30,000 strong was reported
on Tuesday to be marching up the
right bank of the Liao river, wl.ich
would seem to Indicate that thre?
Japanese armies are cooperating In
enveloping tbree sides of Llao Yang.
Fiotu the meagre accounts received
it appears that General Kurokl se
lected Tantziapudzy as the point for
his attempt to drive the wedge Into
Kuropatkln's outer defenses at An
plng and Llandlanslan. which are
situated, respectively, ten miles
northwest and southwest of Taut
zlapudzy, the latter being on the
Llanne river, eight miles above the
confluence of the , Taltse river,
whence a mountain ridge runs west
ward. Tbe Buss declares It Is In a posi
tion to state authorltlvely that there
is not tr.e slightest foundation f'jr
the report that Italy has suggested
to France an offer of her good oftlces
on behalf of Russia.
An Inspection of the cruiser Askold
proves, according to the Kuss that
tbe drainage Is irreparable and sbt
Is forced to disarm, thus closing
one phase of tbe Incident. Pro
tection of tbe cruiser now devolve!
upon China and Incidentally upon
the neutral powers having warshlpi
at Sbangbal. Tbe papers add tbt
warning:
'This protection must be effective,
as another breach of neutrality on
tbe part of Japanese will force Rus
sla to regard China as a belligerent
and thus change tbe whole aspect
of affairs in tbe far east."

ST. PETERS RBURG. It Is re
ported from a reliable source tbat
Lieutenant General Stoeesse), com
mander of tbe Russian military
forces at Port Arthur, has tele
graphed to tbe emperor tbanklsg
bim for tbe recent message of eu-
couragement sent to tbe garrison of
Port Arthur, saying tbat tbe de
fenders of tbe fortress are ready ana
willing to lay down tnelr lives, but
adding tbat tbe garrison bas already
suffered severely and intimating tbat
t Is hardly possible to bold out for
more than a month or six weeks.
Four more regiments will be raised
In tbe Caucasus. An official an
nouncement to this effect is expected
soon.
The first contingent of the First
army corps bas arrived at Harbin.
This corps was destined for Vladi
vostok, but upon the urgent request
of General Kuropatklo it will be di
verted to Mukden.
From an excellent source It Is
stated that the Ill-starred Russian
battleship Orel, wbich already has
suffered two accidents, will not be
able to Join the Baltic squadron.
According to reports when her en
gine trials began It was discovered
that the engines had been prccti
cally wrecked by workmen introduc
ing iron filings into the valves and
cylinders. It probably will require
many months to repair the damage
This Is the secret of tbe failure of
tbe Orel to go out on a trial trip
with the other ships last week.

Yang, to tbe general staJ, reporting
the continued Japanese advance on
Sunday, confirms the report tbat

tbe engineer coips. He belonged to
a prominent family of the Novgorod

was very popular socially.
The department of telegraphs in
forms the Associated press that the
lives are working direct to Laic-
Yang, thus refutleg definitely tbe
renort tbat General Kurokl had cut
the railroad.
The anxiety of the Russian gov
ernment to prevent another Smol
ensk incident is shown In tbe fact
that not content with the arrange
