German military men are discussing tbe situation of General Kuropatkin with the kaeneal interest. They have Information that the defense of Liao Yang are of extra ordinary strength. The fortifying of the town was entrusted to General Mel iahtko, who enjoys beie the reputation of being a master of military engineer ing. During tbe punt two month he haa fortified all the strategic position around Liao lang in a manner well nigh impiegnable. The German critica think Liao Yang'a defenses about equalize tbe dif ference in numbers between the Rua rians estimated at 180.000 and the Japanese, numbering 240,000. The danger of General Kuropatkin'a situation ia reognized as being botttled np like Field Marshal Bazaine, who surrendered Meti to the German forces in 1870. It ia donbted by the expert if General Kuropatkin will be able to prevent the complete encircling of Liao Yang, which would mean probably the eventual loss of his army. ASSAULT ON ARTPL'R RESUMED.
