Simultaneously a, large force of infantrv advanced along the main Changchun road. while two other columns delivered flank attacks. The Russians reached within 400 metres of the Japanese Wings. The fighting lasted all day Tuesday. The Japanese, although nearly surrounded. finally repulsed the enemy. losing 27 killed or wounded. The Russian casualties. e§ timnting from the number of ambu- lances. were about 200.

The main force of the assailants re- treated toward Pamincheng. A por- tion ‘stopped near Choroyo, three miles north of Tsulnshu. "The enemy's loss, judging from the corpses left behind and from 1110 number of carts carrying away wounded and killed. were over 60." It is announced from St. Peters- burg that 150 olficcrs, including 40 1mm the Black Sea fleet, have joined Admiral Rojestvensky at various renâ€" dezvous, and that the fleet also has 8,000 men beyond its complement. “Our casualties were 10. No of- ficers were included. The news that the rival fleets are almost in touch has revived keen inâ€" terest in the war. It, is a curious fact that outside of Russia no single opinion is expressed save that Admir- al Rojostvensky's barnacleâ€"laden ships will fall easy victims to Adâ€" mi‘l‘al Togo’s bravery and skill. It is at least expected, however. that the battle will be a real fight to a finish, and will prove the greatest naval enâ€" gagement in history.

The St. Petershurg correspondent of the London Times, referring to Russia's war orders, specifies that 100,000,000 cartridges and $65,â€" 000,000 worth of artillery and amâ€" munition have been contracted for. He adds that vast orders for rails for the Transâ€"Siberian Railway are being executed in Russia and abroad. The line is being constantly imâ€" proved and as far as possible is beâ€" ing doubled. Prince Khilkot‘f, Minâ€" ister of Railways, is going to Harâ€" bin to confer with Gen. Lincvitch about the transporting of troops and stores. Russia is therefore evidentâ€" ly doing her utmost to accumulate large numbers of men in the Far East as speedily as possible. Never- theless. the correspondent contends that the continuation of the war unâ€" til Russia is victorious is out of the question. He declares that the preparations are directed rather to the assuring of an honorable pearc.

B A dcspatch from Paris says: lFhe St. Pctersburg correspondent of the Petit Parisian telegraphs that the Russians are now exactly half way between Mukden and Kuangchangtse, which is the junction of the Manâ€" churian Railroad and the branch running to Klrin. Gen. Lincvitch's headquarters are at the raiIWuy sta- tion at Souanzanku, which is a strong natural position. He has succeeded in concentrating his whole army and has left sufficient force at Kirin to hold that position. The front of the Russian army now ex- tends for only twentyâ€"seven miles. The army is supposed to be in a fit state to meet the Japanese. The Journal’s St. Petersburg Cor- respondent is informed that the new mobilization is actually in progress, although it is being ellcctcd secretly, and that train loads of soldiers are leaving daily for Manchuria. Official circles in St. Petersburg are unresm‘vcdly warlike, but a great ma- jority of the Russians continue to oppose the war. The peace sentiment is particularly strong in Moscow and the provinces. READY FOR BATTLE. The St. Pctm‘sbnrg correspondent of the London Times says there is good reason to believe that Gen. Linevitch intends to make a stand much further south than has been supposed. He has sent. 50,000 troops to hold Kirin, and with the remainâ€" ing 250,000 of his army is entrenchâ€" ed at Swnntsanhei. halfway between Mukden and hwungehcntzse. He is astride the railway, his troops formâ€" ing a crescent with the horses pointâ€" ing north. The Russians are devas- tating the country in order to im‘ pede the Japanese advance.
