Headquarter* of General Count Keller,
Niut Klay, near, Lian Dian?Sian,
July 12.?The opposing ' armies are
grlml yfacing each other'on the heights 1
across the Liank river, ready to engage
in a death grasp. The Liank
crosses the main JLdao xang, Fen ?ang,
Wang, Cheng road, -28 miles east of
Liao Yang. It flows north into the
Tat Tse river, which passes east of
Liao Yang apd empties into the Liao
river.

v , plains. Me saw General Keller, lit
lng like a simple soldier, his staff he
lng quartered In a native hut nearby
The general looked cheerful and wat
bronzed by exposure. He talked en
thuslastlcally of the engagement aft
Hoi Yan.
Around the general's tent were manj
officers of the guards, the pride o*l
Ft. Petersburg. To see them as
weatherbeaten as the Cossack officers,
t-. one could scarcely believe them to be
the dashing-guardsmen of the Russian
capital. They have become hardened
fighters, for hardly a day passes
without collision* between the advance
posts of the eastern army and the Japanese.
The whole arpiy is anxious
to fight General Kurokl, whose headr
quarters are-at VIndlapudze and
k v' whose men are entrenched on the
other side of the river. The .burning
question Is who will be the first to
cross the dread valley of the Liank
river.

It Is as if Lord Roberts received his 1
supplies by rail v via Constantinople, t
Cairo and Central Africa. It will be
a long time before General Kuropatkln
will have enough supplies and
men to assume the offensive. In
the meanwhil ehe WT!I have to flght '

Important positions, like New Chwang, f
which are of vastly moro con sequence 1
