that there was also considerable con
centration of Japanese along the Tattxe

admitted the Japanese advance already
has been begun along thewhole line,

ficers admitting Stoessel Is making a
superb resistance.

Sinmintin says the Chinese authorities
there have issued an order forbidding
the sale of goods to the Russians, on
the ground that It would constitute a
breach of neutrality.
The Post's report of a general en
gagement In which the Japanese were
victorious at Mukden Is not confirmed
from any quarter. It Is probably an ex-
aggerated version of the outpost af
fairs. The dispatch from Mukden yester
day reporting that a serious collision
between the opposing armies Is re
garded as Imminent attracts great at
tention from the London press. tt-Js
