IS Kunoicr abvancino? All Japanese movements arc inter- preted as caused by anxiety to hami>- er ns much ti& i)o.ssiblo whatever movement Con. Kouropat! in makes to help Port Arthur. Kot only have tho .lapanesc bombarded the West coast of Liao-TuHK Peninsula, where the railway run.s close to the shore, nuikiiig feints of debarkation, but Oen. Kuroki has assumed the oflen- sivo eastward, lie has sent nn over- powering, strong' column that drove out the Uu.ssiaiis from a fortified po- sition at .Saiinnt/o, 20 miles north- west of Feng-Wang-C'heng, inflicting a loss of 100 men. Tho Uusslan nuthoritie,"; sa.v that Ihey are without information about tiio lipht at Siamatze beyond the of- flcnl despatch that was niade public on Thursday night, but that the Hus- Binn withdrawal was quite in accord- anrc with f!en. Kuropatkin's pro-ar- ranged plan, altliongh tho Kussia!i losses indicated stubborn lighting. Military critics j.rofoss to t>e not alto- gether certain whether Cen. Kuroki's movement means ,i real advance, or is simply a feint to distract Russian at- tention from Port Arthur, but they incline to the latter view. ASSIIMFI) OFFFNSIVK.

A despatch to the TiOndon Daily Mail, from Chefoo. says that jimks are continually arriving. Up to the present nineteen have arrived from Port .\rthur, with about 2,000 Chin- ese refugees, niun.v others are follow- ing. T'he Military (iovernor allows I 'ill natives not engaged in the dock- yard and defences to leave. Japan- ese ciuisois interc<'i>te(l the junks nnd gave the refugees food, which they needed very ii:uch. It is ri'ported that the .lapane.e land forces are liithin eight miles . f Port Arthur, hut so far no important coilialon has taken plnco on land near the 'oilref.s. (lunbonts and torpedo- hoat destroyers can navigate the chnmiel at high water, the .Inpaiiese 'ealing operations being olTcctive cm- \v ns regards I he egrirss of larger vessels.

DONATIONS FROM IIRITAIN. Knglish members ot the Red Cross have sent £2.000 to the lion. Char- les Nardingo. the Uriti.sh Ambassa- dor, at .St. Petersburg, for the relief of tho Russian sick and wounded. The Ambassador has handed the money to tho Dowager ^zarina. who is pj-esident of tho Russian Red Cross. KUROKI'S ADVANCE. The Japanese still prevent any nous of what is preceding at Port Arthur from reaching tho outer world, but telegrams from both sides received in t^ondon point to the fact that the forward movement of Gen. Kouroki's army has commenced in substantial force. Cen. Kouroki l)ractically threatens the whole Itiis- sian front from Mukden to Haicheng. This is suflicient. apart from an.y ciuestion of millilary science, to make a move for the relief of Port Arthur by Gen. Kouropatkin impracticable.

Several sotnias of Cossacl s (a sotina con.-ists of 160 men) occupied a strong position in a mountain pass, and held the .lapan- e.s<! for two hours. Tho fighting was severe, and tho .lapancso lost heav- ily, but they finally carried tho Rus- sian position. The Russians lost one killed and twenty-two wouiidi.'d. JAPAN i:SK HOLD ROADS. The Town of .Siu-Yen, now occupied by tho .) apane.se nrm.y, is of great strategical importance, being sit\uitod about 40 miles north-east ot Kaiping, and 1."> miles south-east of llai-Pheng. It commands perfectl.y the roads to both j'laces. .Siamat/.sa is also an Iwi'ortant point, as it controls tho roads to l.iao-Yang and Mukden. Uy following this route the Mao-Tien- Linj: puss, a strongly fortified and almost imi)regnal)le Russian strong- hold, will be avobled on tho advance of the .lapanvse ainiy northward.

JAPAN II.AS 100,000 TROOP.S. The Lokal An/elgor, of Ilorlin, prints Ian interview with Gen. Meckel, form- '^rly proff.ssor of luilitary tactics in [Japan, in which ho said he estimated Itho .laruxiiese strength at 300,000 inen and 100,000 reserves. Ho believ- ed there were still 1.tO,0(iO troojis in ;Ja:'nn. He diil not doubt that th.-? Japanoso would storm aii I taKe I'ort Arlhi:r, as they did Kinchau.

PoubtloBS its capture would cost dear, hut that was iiievit- nble. The news of the capitulation of the fortress would come soon. If the •Initaiicso took Port Arthur and de- feated Cen.
