German Correspondent Does Not Look for Early Battle. A Berlin cable says: Col. Gaedke, mili- tary editor of the Tugeblutt. in a de- spatch, dated Mukden. Noe 14. says he regards an immediate battle improb- able. The positions of both armies are so strong that neither is likely to at. tack at present because an attack could not be sueeessful until " sur- prise was eifeeted. The Russians now have a plentiful number of siege guns) and a large supply of ammunition. The men are well protected from the Jap- anese artillery and the cold. They ..are ‘weil fed amrmvell clothed.

' A London cable says: It is still impossible to shed any light on the real reason for the Russians sacrificing the dwtmyer Rnstoropny. The idea that she was thrown away for the purpose oi conveying the batch ot colorless des. patches since issued in St. Petersburg is regarded as absurd. The belief in many quarters is that the 1taistoropn.s"s mission was significant of the end of Port Arthur. It is reported, but with- out confirmation, that this destroyer took to Chefoo a number of naval of, ficers. whose services are likely to be more valuable to the Baltic fleet than to the defence of the fortress. Jap Torpedo Boat Told the Destroyer Had Been Blown Up. A ('hefoo cable: The three Japan-1 (up torpedo-boat destroyers which on. tcred tho harbor this morning to ms- ecrtain if the Russian torpedo-boat de. stroyer 1tastoropuy was here, disappear- ed for a time, but reappeared this even- ing. The Japanese Consul sent a. cutter out to meet them, and informed the nearest' destroyer, the Kneumi, that the Rasteropny had been sunk. The Con.. sul says this was ten ships which knew. of the sinking of the Ilastoropny. The Resumi transmitted the information by wireless, telegraphy to the Japanese flagship, when-upon the destroyers dis. appeared in the direction of Port Ar- thur. The sinking of the Rustoropny hy the ,Rmsians relieved the Japanese of an embarrassing position. Arrested, Broke Atty and Jumped Into the Sed " Halifax. Halifax.

Nov. 21.--0n Friday evonjpg Park-hill, Nov. 21.--On Friday evening Nov. 4, about 6 o'elock, when Miss Nellie 1 Davidson. daughter of John Davidson, of the 21st con. BF.. West Williams, was driving home along the 18th com. she was forcibly taken from the buggy, assaulted, and tied to the adjoining fence with one of the lines. The outrage was perpetrated a short distance front Andrew Elliott's place on the 13th con- cewion. The young woman was able to get as fat as Elliott's gate, where her screams attracted attention. She mm carried to the house and driven to her parents' residence, her own horse in the meantime having gone home. An effort is being made to find the guilty party. The county of West Wil. limos offer a reward of 8300 for the cap- tore of the man who amount-d Mina Davidson. The description of the guilty. party is not very clear. Although Mien Davidson has regained her mental fad- nl.ties, she is yet very ill. She says her smilant was of ordinary height and wore moustache; face rough as though lunshcu'cn for two or three weeks; wore to. mt like leather or waterproof that felt hard and stiff, shortedthwn over- coat.
