Petaratiurf wijr that a report from Lieutenant General Sncharoff confirm* the beflef that the irreat decUIre buttle of the campaign between General Kuropatkln'a main army and the armies of Generals Kurolcl and Oku la Imminent _ The thr»>e armies probably aggregute BOU.OUO men. and their out-, post* are in tom-h all along the Hue. The-Japanese evidently tried to draw Kumpatkln as far auuth as {rasalbl*. bolding out as an Incentive a check to the advantt* of Oku'e main army. Meantime -Oku swung sharply to the eastward to Join Kurukl toward the .Chapa n pusa. Kurokl at the same time moving a strong force by the right flank toward Halcheng. The main Jajjaliese advance continues along the main FengwangcheugLlaoynng roed.^ avoiding the Maotleu pas* by a detour to the northward. The advance at all point* Is being attended by constant skirmishing. Nothing fe known here of the exact point at which Kuropatkln's main forwr la concentrated, though It & be- * lleved that a large part of the Llaoyang force has been moved to’a point between KInchau and Tatcbeklao. According to dispatches from Tatchekiao. a large force has poshed southward from Tatcbeklao against Oku. While Kueopatkin 1* thus extending - himself the Japanese, with great mobility, seem to be trying to concentrate for the purpose of striking the Russians in flank and rear. A Newchwang dispatch says that while a Russian force of .8,000, under Genera! Kondrat«vltch, was traversing Vafankow ravine, nine mlk-s sontheast of Kaichau. It was surprised by concealed Japanese artillery, who opened a heavy fire which caused the Russian* a- loss of nearly UlSJU men. [The force was caught in a trap, being »in|liW> to get clear of the ravine. A Tokyo dispatch says that Field Marshal Oyama is going to Manchuria ''as commander In chief of the Japanese army, with Lieutenant General Koda* ma as chief of staff; Advices from the far eaftFsbow that tlx Russian battleablpa, live cruisers and fourteen destroyers, apparently plaunln; a dash southward, were attacked as the? lay under the shelter of Port Artfcur'f /««• by « of Japing destroyers. One battleship of the Peres vlei type was sunk. tto Bfvfs^opol was dtkableu and a cruiser of the Diana tyj>e was badly damaged. The Japanese looses were few^ The Russian admiralty Is reported to have admitted the loss of a battleship end two cruisers off Port Arthur. Admiral Alexeleff has sent a report of tfee action, but failed to.glte the result of the encounter. A second engagement la believed at Cbefu-to have taken place on Saturday, march on Kaiplng. traveling slowly and keeping In order of battle. General Kurokl's position is practically, un-

changed.

It is probable that the government of the United States will 'be asked to make pointed imjalrie* at Bt. Petersburg concerning the present condition of Japanese prisoners and to arrange « syste^n dl regular reporta ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS. Rrpokllon National Coavratlo Kaaitaatlona at Cklaeaa. CHICAGO.
