The situation Is one of great tension, tor. the troops oh both sides. General Kuropatkin and Field Morshal .Oyama seem to be watching each other like hawks. It is Impossible to tell which will make the first serious move, , There ore occasional exchanges of desultory firing at the outposts, but nothing of great importance has trans pired. On Sunday night the Japanese made a feeble attempt upon Lone Tree Hill, but the attack was not pressed. The Rusalana "used several eiege guns of great range on Monday, bombarding the ?Jpaheee positions ;: near Shakhe. The Japanese replied with shtmose Bhella. The Chines say the Russian fire destroyed three Japanese field pieces. The Japanese have evacuated Shakhe railroad station, but It and the rail road bridge beoween the lines are in the field of fire -on both sides. Although it is reported that there Is no activity on the Russian left flank, little; Is really ; known concerning the situation there." A Japanese movement from the west along the railroad Is re ported, but this has not been confirmed The general state of uncertainty breeds many, ruroorsv On Monday quite heavy fire was heard Westward.

Vigo, Spain, "Oct. 21 The arrival ''of the Russian battleships Emperor Alex ander III. BOrodinO Orel and Knluz souvaroff and the transport Anatol, which have anchored In this port, has caused considerable excitement. The commander , of the port Immediately boarded the Russian flagship and in formed Admiral Rojestvensky that the Spanish government could not permit the warships to coal within the port. Admiral Rojestvensky replied tlfat his vessels needed repairs, and that for that reason he had separated from the remainder of his squadron. The com mander of the port promised to Inform Uhe Swinish covernment of the ndmir. al's statement nd communicate the1 government's replyfas soon as It was received. In spite of this, five German colliers anchored in port alongside the battleships, whereupon the command er of the port sent an aide-de-camp to beg Admiral Rojestvensky not to violate Spanish neutrality, and he also ordered the commanding officer of the Spanish cruiser Estramadura to notify the colliers that they must obey the port authorities. Eventually Admiral Hojerstvensky promised that he would not coal in Spanish waters, at the same lime bt'KKiiiK the commander of the iwrt to ohtaiu the government's per mission for each warship to take on 400 tons of coal with which to reach Tan gier. Shortly afterwards three col Hers sailed for Tiuigier, but two re- maliicd alongside the Russian war- ships. During the afternoon Admiral Ro jestvensky, accompanied by the com mander of his battleships, visited the military governor, the Frenah - consul, and the commander of the port, receiv ing the usual honors. As far as can be seen, the crews of the battleships are very uneasy. .Sen tinels are closely watching every movement within the harbor. All four of the warships seem to be ' cleared for action. It Is rumored that the object of the Spanish government in requesting the Russians to remain the shortest pos sible time at Vigo is to prevent the possibility of attack by Japanese agents, whose presence in the province of Galicia Is suspected. Prince Keretelll, an officer of the battleship Emperor Alexander IU, has been interviewed, and gives the fol lowing explanation of the attack by the Baltic squadron upon the British trawlers off Dogger Bank: "The transport Anatoir which was steaming ahead of the squadron, was suddenly surround by eight torpedo boats, and requested assistance, where upon the battleship division- advanced and signalled to the unknown vessels to leave or disclone their nationality. The vessels refused to obey and ad vanced among the Russian battleships. Suddenly a cannot shot was heard from an unknown vessel. Then the admiral formed In battle-line" and re plied to the fire, afterwards continu ing" his voyage." ? 4 Prince Keretelll added that the Rus sians feared the strange torpedo boats were?

More than fifty thousand peo ple heard him every day, Mr. Bryan is quoted as saying: "So tar as I can Judge from the Use of th crowds, from the interest manifested, and from the expressions of the people, the Demo crats of Indiana are ready for election oay." Mr. Bryan concluded his Inter view with a little dig at his late oppo nents In his own party by giving the re porters assurances that all the silver Democrats would support the elcket and that "every gold Democrat who has not gone over to the Republican party per manently would do the inme." News paper men who have been West study ing the political situation, at the In stance of various papers, unite in say tng that the half has not been not been told concerning Mr. Bry an's exploits In Indiana. "Every body out there baa got the. Bryan habit," observed Mr. Brownlow, of The Nashville Banner, who has Just re turned from a stay of two weeks In the West,iie having while there accom panied Mr. Bryan on his trip through Indiana, Mr. Bryan spoke at one town of not more yian four thousand Inhab itants. It was in the midst of the min ing section, and all the .mines and all the public schools In four counties were closed down for the occasion. There were twenty thousand people there when the hour for -apeaklng arrived. and there was a tremendous demonstra tion When a miner, with a lantern ar ranged in front of his cap for a head light, mounted the platform and pro posed three cheers for the man who was bound some day to be President of the united States. The Hill, speaking tn Indianapolis resolved Itself into a Bryan dlmonstratlon, pure and simple, although the campaign managers had not foreseen any such contingency. There was a great parade, with brass bands, red fire and other side attrac tions and along the long line only one name figured In the cheering, that ot Bryan. In the big hall the thousands cheered the name of Bryan everyttme Mr. Hill wound up a fetching period with the name of Parker. There were pictures of Bryan on the walls, very large pictures painted on cloth, with background of flags, and then there were several pictures of Parker, small poster pictures that had been diatribe uted by the State committee. Mr. Hill soon realljsed the drift of things. He wanted to stir the boys up a bit so he said something like this: "Gentle- the speaker got, for his voice was' lost in an instantaneous yell from five thousand throats. Mr. Bryan was not In Indianapolis. There was absolutely no occasion for the outbreak, except the Ncbrusknn ls first In the Hoosler heart. KFFKCT OF THE NKBKAKAW EFFORT.
