There ib evidence of a new dispo
sition of the torc.es on both sides
General Kouropatkm is extending his

U'ree hill , the importance of which
point is fully reali/ed by the Japa
nese , wbo have attempted to retake it
In two night attacks , or whether to
meet and thwart a Japanese turning
movement fiom the west , has not yet
daveluped. The Japanese also appear
to be fcblftlng weight to the westward -
ward
Veiled hints continue to arrive that
the Russians have recovered from the
blow inflicted last week by Field Mar-
hal Oyama , and that General Kouro-
patkin is preparing to renew the
etrugelo as soon as the roads become
dry. Two Associated Press dispatches
from Mukden mention reports that
the Japanese are preparing to retire
And the war ofiUe admits that Kouro-
patkin's left has again moved slight
ly forward , but there is no light upon
the movements of the Japanese.

pers and military critics llnd it dull
cult to apportion the exact strategic
significance attaching to Genera
Kouropatkin's action on the Shakhe
river. It is supposed that his success
bere was due lo having kept three
divisions of troops in resene and it
li Is admitted tbat the attack on Lone
ETree bill may have been an inten
tlonal counter stroke after drawing
out the Japanese from strong posi
tions. The balance of opintoii | how
ever , favors the idea tbat It was a
desperate endeavor to cover the re
treat of his forces from the Denslbu
distilct and that the battle of Shakhe
may bo considered to have ended In
A victory , but not a decisive one. for
tbo Japanese , who were too exhausted
to follow up their success
Special dispatches from St Peters

feat of two Japanese divisions There
