There are rumors that a big tattle has been fought in the neighborhood of Feng Wang Cheng.

On the other hand, the Mall's correspondent at Mukden says that the Russians are now folly aware of Japanese plans of attack.

Since General sent a column northward to gain the road trailing directly west from Mukden, General Koropatkln has kept under the rkiseet surveillance, a walling the moment when it could be so distant from the main army as to prevent its easy reinforcement. In observing this plan, the Russians withdrew and the Japanese not finding a strong force of the enemy before them continued to advance. When the time for action came General Kuropatkin let. General Rennenkampff loose from leash. Rennenkampff had under his command only n few regiments, but they were the flower of the Cossack cavalry. On May 18th, he fell on the enemy, whose number haa not yet been revealed, with such vigor as to comretirement twelve pel the Japanese miles toward the base, near enough, it is presumed, to have received reinforcements from General Kuroki. who must immediately have been advised of the awkward predicament.

The latter's appearance on the stage was somewhat late. It has been Intended that he should remain nt Korea at the start of the war, but he arrived at the front too late.

He is a man to attack quickly and hard, once given the opportunity and his men, veterans of the Chinese, campaign, had been selected especially because they knew what it. was to be under Are. The general staff took occasion today to ny the report of a battle having been fought at Kai Chou, in which two hundred Russians were killed.
