St. Petersburg, June 7.— The gen
eral public at the Russian capital is
Imbued with the belief that import
ant m ilitary developments are im
pending at Liao Yang, and that a gen
eral engagement between Kuropat-
kln’s and general Kurokl’s armies is
imminent. Although the authorities
are doing nothing to discourage the
idea, the best-informed circles at the
war office do not anticipate a decis
ive battle Immediately, unless brought
on more or less unexpectedly by an
accidental j collision between strong
columns, as often happens in war
fare.
T h e war office’s information does
not indicate that the Japanese have
concentrated for an attack on Gener
al Kuropatkin, and it is expected they
are not yet ready to assume the of
fensive. Nevertheless, it is known
that differences o f opinion exist at
the Russian headquarters as to the ad
visability o f taking the aggressive,
and it is believed this matter was the
subject o f a conference between the
commander-in-chief and the Viceroy
at Mukden Tuesday.
Kuropatkln’s position is becoming
very formidable, both in the number
and character o f troops at his dispos
al. The condition o f some o f the Si
berian reserves when called to the
’colors was not satisfactory and
caused Kuropatkin misgivings, but it
is now reported that they have been
drilled into a state o f efficiency.
More important, however, are the
large reinforcements o f field artil
lery, in which the Russian army was
especfally weak. These have now ar
rived. Nevertheless, Kuropatkin does
not consider himself strong enough
to risk the possibility o f a defeat
which m ight be irretrievable and re
sult la- disaster or at least years o f
campaigning. His friends praise his
steady conservatism, caution and re
fusal to listen to the counsel o f the
hotspurs.
