Oneo again attention is diverted!
from the l u <1 forces now occupying
positions in central Manchuria
to the besieged and besiegers in
and around Port Arthur, and it
seems pr< liable that the next im
portnnl inov<< will bo another at
?4
tempt o? the part of ttie Japanese
to lake tie Russian stronghold by
stoini. It :s indicated in the lis
patches, however, that preparations
for rm extensive conflict seem
to be making in the vicinity of
Mukden. This is really uncertai n
however, for the Japanese are stil 1
taking the initiative and there is
no tolling whut they will do, find
the Russians wil*. likely do nothing
until they mo forced to it, and
then, unions thoy change their tactics,
thoy will continue thoir movement
toward Harbin, where it
seems they will take up their winter
quaitcr-. Only about two
months yet remain until the sever
ely cold weather sets iu and it may
tie that no decisive engagement on
land will occur until then, when
active operations will doubtless
cease. But then is nothing more
than speculation to be had regarding
this, an 1 one man's opinion is
about as goo I as that of another
when it comes t>> that.
The most discouraging inf? a.a
o o
tion to the Russians from Port
Arthur is* that the an ..inition
of the garrison is l ?ing signs 1
of depletion, a' i that there *
is foundation for this L shown by 1
the statement from v t Petersburg 1
that the- story has created annoyance
tluro It is said that the I
Japanese have within the past few
days b ,n enabled to occupy po
siti ' heretofore untenable bo
e -.-nofthe Russian shells, none!
of which reach so far now. In the |'
meantime the Japanese are report I
ed as landing heavy guns at liarbin
and placing them in position
to more ell'eetivcly bombard Port
Arthur.
As expected, the start of the
Riwuinn (bnl fnr llm ? ?
?vvv JUI kUU lilt CiUSl >V US I
not near so serious us the Russians
wished it to appear, and it is now
reported from St. Petersburg that
an indefinite stop will be made, bof
)re the trip is fairly begun. It is
improbable thattliTO is any intention
of sending the vessels into the
zouo of hostilities this fall, as tbey
could not reach Vladivostok before
that harbor is closed by ice, and
u.iless there is a material change
for the better so far as Russia is
concerned, they would hardly de
siro to enter Port Arthur.
Aside from a somewhat determined
assault upon the defences
around Port Arthur on Wednesday
and Thursday, w hen t ho .Japanese
are said to have made some
i:?.i_ i 1 1 -
itiuu ueauway, mo actuiil opera-1
tions have been at practically a
standstill during the past -week. '
The land forces havo doubtless n< t
been in condition to do more tluin
carry on a desultory outpost en.
gagetucnt,and fuither preparations
are being awaited at Port Arthur.
