Stlmu lus is given to this growing conviction by the eventseof the last few days. It is noted that the attack of the navv on rort Arthur, which proved to be the most determined yet made and the most disastrous in results to Russia, was the signal for a most unusual advance all along the land lines. 'Constantly In creasing reports are received here of clashes, which, although little more than .skirmishes, Indicate the forward tendency or the Japanese army. The fact that no blow was struck wlfh more vigor on the day of the Port Ar thur attack is wondered at, but it is presumed that no advance, .will be made until Togo lands forces or the siege of Port Arthur, Reports received here yes terday and today indicate that this will be the course' pursued, as the Japanese now control the naval situation at the port. . ... ... . .
