Annearances ' again point to the possi bility of a big battle south of Mukden. J The Japaneser according to an official re- port, have . received, a severe setback in the vicinity ot- Siritsintiri, in which direc tion they, apparently were attempting to execute a wide turning movement. The opinion hereVscarcely believes it possible that the two great armies can winter less than a rifleshot distant from each other. though the "heavy defenses on each side make it extremely difficult for either to assume the offenslve. it Is believed, however, that if the dead lock Is to be broken General Kuropatkin will let Field Marshal Oyama take the Initiative, as the Russians have the better of the present position, namely, a strong line of defense and Mukden behind them, making satisfactory "Winter quarters. where the Russian reinforcements are now accumulating for an advance next Spring. The Japanese also are being strongly reinforced. The rivers are sufficiently frozen to per mit of the movement of artillery and commissariat trains, so that the country actually is better adapted to a Japanese advance than during the Summer. RUSSIANS DESERT AT ARTHUR They Also Assert the Defenders Are Badly Demoralized. LONDON, Nov. 23. A dispatch from To klo to the Standard reports increasing desertions from the Port Arthur garrison into the Japanese lines, the stories the de serters tell indicating the demoralization of the Russian defenders. The same cor respondent says the Russian defenses on the seafront of Port Arthur no longer fire on the approach of the Japanese warships. A, Japanese correspondent, writing to the Morning Post, betrays growing anx iety concerning the Russian second Pa cific, squadron, which probably is due to. the strength of Port Arthur's resisting power.' iH points -out tht Inconsistency of Egypt In pennittlngVlce-Admlral Ro- jestvenaky's ships to coal when not going to a Russian port, compared with the re fusal of such facilities when the Spanish Admiral, Camara, wanted to take the battleship Pelayo by the Suez route six years ago, and maintains It is Great Brit ain's business to compel Egypt to main tain neutrality In the present case. The Dally Telegraph's correspondent at Port Said says the Russian warships when berthed will be completely isolated from other shipping, and that they will 'be allowed to take on water and provis ions, but the correspondent adds It Is still rather uncertain whether they will be per mitted to coal, the authorities seeming to be undecided on that point. Copenhagen telegrams report that tho supplementary detachment of the Rus i slan second Pacific squadron is still de tained at Skagon by storms. Japanese Capture Blockade Runner. LONDON. Nov. 23.
