Japanese Oenrral Is Advancing Army Witte Little Loss. HI» Tokio, July 11.—Late telegrams from General Kuroki’s headquarters at the front show that tlie rains have not stopped the working out of the Japan ese plane, either in the interior of Manchuria or at Port Arthur. Tbe flanl assault on the fortress is thought to be very near, although there is much work to be done in the way of constructing siege batteries. The Rus sians have abandoned the outer po sitions, after a great deal of fighting, and have strengthened their main de fenses. Japanese correspondents allowed to send dispatches reveal the ski11 with which tbe generals maneuvered their columns so as to capture the mountain passes between tlie Yula and the Liao valleys without heavy loss and with out riskaing tbe least temporary con fusion in their extended line of battie. General Oku’e forces pressed north ward and west until th< y cleared the lofty ridge east of Kaiping. This <le- prived Kuropatkin's men in the de- flies of their mountain shields, and compelled the withdrawal of their sup ports to check Oku'« army. There upon the armies of Feng Wang Cheng and Takushan, availing themselves of such flanking opportunities as local conditions allowed, forced the enemy out of their strongholds down upon the plain of Liao Yang.
