It is believed that General Kuroki. instead of proceeding to Nai Cheng, will move northwest along the road to IJao Yang. He will find the Russians entrenched at Tien Chnri Chan Pass. It is pointed out that the alunidonnienl of Southern Manchuria will be beneficial to the Russians, as it will enable iheni to complete the concentration of the forces which have heretofore been scattered as a consequence of ignorance as to whst the enemy proposes to do.
