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."

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. An oillclal dispatch from Llao Yang, to tbe general staJ, reporting the continued Japanese advance on Sunday, confirms the report tbat General Routkovsky was killed dur lug the rear guard engagements and adds that Colonel von Raaben was also killed.

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 ment entered Into with Great l-IL- tan to send a warship from Cape Colony lo search of the cruiser It bas asked Fiance and Portugal in case tbe ship should put Into an Af rican Dort belonging to eitbei country to deliver the orders recall lng her from operations on tbe btgb leas.
