The most sensational piece of news frock the front is ihe Associated Press dispatch from Mho Yang dated July 2fltli, reporting a persistent rumor that the Japanese have broken through tho Russian loft wing between the reaix-c-llv- e positions of Lieutenant General Count Keller and General Kennen-kantpf- f and are marching upon Mukden. The report received from General Kuropatkln bearing the date aay that there has been no change of importance In the situation and a close study of the dates shows that the rumor probably refers to tbs Japanese advance against General Reunenkampff road, oil the Northern Samaltsza-Liawhen they drove the Russians back as far as Houtsialae, 26 miles east of Liao Yang. A later dispatch to the Associated Press shows that General lllrachelmann commanded thla detachment of General Rcnnenkarapff's cavalry and that ho turned aud took the offensive subsequently compelling tbe Japanese to retire In tbe direction of Sikevan. Further but Incomplete details of General Keller'a attack at Mo Tien Pass July 17th sent by the Associated Press correspondent show that the fight lasted all day and waa a bloody affair.

The authoritative assurances that the Malacca will be released, cabled by the Associated Pres from St. Petersburg to United Stale do not appear in tbe British morning papers. Special dispatches to a somewhat elmlllar effect from St. Petersburg do nut allay the alarmist views of the organs who construe the government has received no confirmation, of the release of the Malacca to mean that the Incident remains unsettled. Another cause for great apprehension le the broader question of Russia's right to send vessels of her volunteer fleet through the Dardanelles. A striking evidence that tho danger of the situation La not been mitigated In tha least, so far aa British official and public opinion Is entertained, is afforded by the Dally Telegraph, which under a large heading Acute Affair. declares that "relations TiMween Great Britain nnd Rusaln has reached a atate of acute crisis." It has. we believe been made clear to tbe Russian government that the transformation of merchant vessels passing through Dardanelles to armed cruisers cannot be recognized under any pretext whatever as Justifying Russias Interference with British shipping. It ta not Impossible that as a concession to Russia dignity the government may offer to permit theMa-larto put Into aome neutral port where her cargo may be examined and the statement verified that what munitions she carried were Intended for the use of the British China squadron. In Its editorial article the Daily Telegraph becomes more alarmistic. declaring that upon Russias response to Lord Landsdowne The Issues of peace or war are staked."
