KUROPATKIN SEEMS DOOMED Generally Believed That Russian Commander Must Surrender to Japanese ST. PETERSBURG KEENLY ANXIOUS Conflict of Views as to Whether ths Decisive Battle la Now Being Fought, Boms Critics Holding That Ths Main Russian Army Is Al ready Out of Reach—Shrewd Critics Bay, However, That Kuropatkln Must Stand and Fight—Surprise at Immense Strength of .Japanese, Who Are Believed to Number 300^ 000. ' St. Petersburg, By Cable.—At laat the decisive battle of the campaign seems to be In progress. Haring com pleted ble enveloping movement of the Russian position. General Kuroki has ordered simultaneously an advance from all points against Halcbecg and Lalo Yang. Fighting Is raging on both fronts and still continues. The latest reports contain nothing yet confirma tory of the rumors that General Kuro pat kin has been defeated. According to Kuropatkln’* official dispatches to the Emperor, the battle began for the possession of tho Im ->11001 position at 8lmoncheng, which s located at the juncture of the Feng Wong Yeng and 81u Yen roads. Two separate arm las were launched from above the . roads, whits the third, under General Oku moved up east ot the railroad from Tatcheklao, to try to cut oB the Russian force there from Helcheng. If the latter move la successful, this force will be crushed. A portion of General Kuroki's army at the same time advanced against General Count Keller's position st Ikhsvuen, east of I4*° Yang, trying the favorite Japan SBfe plan of outflanking him on the right. Still further north, on the Sa mltsa Liao Yang road, the Japanese moved forward against Houtaaltse, 25 miles from Liao Yang. At all points the Japanese employed artillery to the best advantage. General Kuropatkln's situation will be desperate in the event of his de feat. The keenest anxiety la felt at the War Offlce for news of the pro gross of the battle. Tbs general staff seems utterly dumbfounded at num ber of men the Japanese possess, and consequently Kuropatkln's statement that they are landing another heavy, force at the port of New Chwang adds to the solicitude. \ ANXIETY AT BT. PETERSBURG. Recognized There' That Kuropai kln’e Situation Will be Desperate In the Event of Hie Defeat—Fores at Simoucheng May be Crushed. •fct. Petersburg, By Cable.—The greatest anxiety prevails here for new* of the general advance against the Southern and Eastern portions of General Knropatkln'a army. The pub lic believes that the decisive battle of the campaign Is being fought, but this has not yet been established. Indeed, the Associated Prose hears from the keenest military attaches In St. Petersburg that for several (lays the main body of the Russian army has been moving northwards towards Mukden and that If the present line to the southeast la forced the Japan ese will And they have crushed only the ehell. Should this prove to be •o. General Kuropatktn will doubtless be obliged to destroy the Immense quantity of stores accumulated at LJao Yang. Shrewd military critics, however, do not believe that General Kuropat Un can escape a general engagement. Hla army forma a wodge. with General Oku hammering away at the point and General a Nodsu and Kuroki op erating with driving movements with groat force against the stdee. If one of the latter should break through, the Southern force would be doomed. The general staff seems amazed at the general strength of these co-oper ating Japanese armies. The Japan ese evidently have succeeded in con cealing the real number of their men smd guns, which the general staff now believes must be In excess of 300,000 men, with between 300 and 100 guns. While Gen oral Oku la holding the Russian army at Halcheng in check. Genera] Nodiu Is evidently trying to work around the vital position at Sloucheng. At the same time Gener al Kuroki Is trying to flank the First Siberian army corps, which was com manded by the late Ueutenant Gener al Count Keller, at Yanzalin, on the main Feng Wang Cheng road, and la also pushing a strong column uuwv WWBIU leiav A ail*, UU the Salmstsse road. There la a road leading north from Stmoucheng which strikes the Feng Wang Cheng-Llao Yang road west of Yansalln. ,If 81m oucbeng ahould be forcod a rapid ad vance along this road would pocket the first Siberian army corps. The report received from Toklo,late Mon day sight that Stmoucheng had ac tually been forced, did not become generally known. The general staff remained In aesalon until almost 7 o'clock a. m., and it was stated that nothing beyond the day's official dis patches bad been received. It la thnz impossible to confirm or deny the Toklo report. RUSSIAN PLIGHT SERIOUS. Their Position Apt to Provo Unton blo—Brilliant Conduct of tho Jap anese.
