General Kouropatlcin has not more than 250,000 men in his mm- mand at the present moment. From these considerable deductions have to be made before we can arrive at the strength of the field army. There are not less than 30,000 men at Port Arthur and Tltutivo,itock. 30.000 more are guard- ing the railway. and 10,000 are occupied in other duties on the line. probably ten per cent. are in hospital and convalesc- mg. and the garrison towns and forti- tied points other than those on the rail. way absorb another 20,000 men.

"The only reason," says the correspondent, "that General liouropatkin has not de- livered n vigorous counter stroke against the first Japanes army is that he has not the necessary force to act otrensively, and cannot let go his hold on one point or another until the objective of the enemy hammers patent.
