News from the seat of war con- tributes nothing to show that the Jap- anese have yet begun to move in force. There is no truth in the report emanat- ing from the London Express that a battle is in progress at Mukden, but General Kuropatkin reports that Gen- eral Rennenkampff and Samsonoft are conducting important reconna sances which have resulted in neavy LIEUTENANT GENERAL LN fighting. The reconnaissances also showed an increase in the Japanes: forces. Emperor Nicholas has decided () form a second Manchurion army to b composed of the corps now being s to the Far East.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 20.—A dispatch has heen received from General Kuro- patkin announcing that Generals Ren- nenkampff and Samsonoff are conduct- ing important reconnaissances, which have resulted in rather heavy fighting, ith many casualties. om General Kuropatkin's tele- gram it appears that General Rennen- kampii has recovered from his wound and has resumed his nunmnml The reconnai: ther increased Japanese forces at fen- tai and Pentsiaput The Ru have occupied several villages nearer the Japanese lines. London, Sept. A dispatch to a news agency [rom St. Petersburg says hat reconnaissances were made to- the Japan front and right flauk, resulting in the Japanese being driven back.

Must Not Go Beyond City Limits of San Francisco. hington, Sept. 20. — Admiral ch, commanding the Pacific st tion, telegraphed the navy depart- ment that he has forwarded by mail a fuli report of the agreement he entered into with Captain Berlinsky of the Russian v el Lena for the parole of the ofiicers and crew of that ship. This provides for their freedom of the | city of San Franci but they may| not go beyond the bounds of the city| during the continuance of the present war and under no conditions can they | be permitted to return to Russia ex- cent npon the conclusion of an agree- ment on that point between Russia and Japan which will relieve the Unit ed States of any responsibility. QUESTION 07 CONTRABAND. Russian Reply to American Note on " the Subject. St. Petersburg, Sept. 20.—The Rus- sian answer to the American note in regard to contraband of war, as spec 1ly raised in the cases of the Brit- ish 4 Jalchas and the Portland and A line steamer Arabia (both captured by the Vladivostok squadron, the former while bound from Puget sound to Japan), has been delivered. it foilows generally the lines of the reply to Great Britain. On the broad fluestion volved Russia recognizes the principle of the immunity of inno- cent trade with Japanese ports, but she holds to her right to stop contraband destined for the use of the Japanese milifary or naval jorces. The United | States nformed, as was Gredt Brit- ain, that instructions embodying the decision of the commission presided over by Professor de Martens (profes- sor of international law’at the Uni- versity of St..Petersburg) have been {in jun tration headquarters. issued in the form of instructions to the naval commanders and prize courts’ to govern them in the future, the in- structions recogniZing the dual uses and, therefore, only the conditionally contraband character of foodstuffs, rice, etc., enumerated in section 10 of article 6 of the Russian regulations, with the exception of horses and other beasts of bur Put the mere fact that a intended for private persons or firms, as also point- ed out to Great Britain, Ru a will not accept as necessarily furnishing exemption from seizure, should circum- stances, for instance like the ship- ment of a full cargo of food, will cre- ate a fair presumption that it is intend- ed for the use of the Japanese govern- ment for supplying her army or navy. The instances of each case, therefore, will govern it. SECCKD MANGHURIAN ARMY SAID LIEUTENANT GENERAL LIN- EVITCH WILL COMMAND NEW FORCE. St. Petershurg, Sept. 20.—Acting upon the advice of his military ad- visers Emperor Nicholas has decided to form a second Manchurian army. It will be formed of the corps which are being sent to the Far East and Lieuteuant General Linevitch probably will be given the command of the scc- ond arm General Kuropatkin will become chief of both armies, but prob- ably without the title of commander- in-chief. It is this impending reor- ganization which seems to have led to the countless rumors and reports afloat here of Kuropatkin’s superces: sion of Viceroy Alexieff as comman der-in-chief of the army, the 3 but thL‘ gnation, etc., Press’ - investig the above is the re The Associated Press is informed that Al will continue to be viceroy and that as such he could not be subor- dinated in title to the commanding general, which would happen in Kuro- patkin was given the title of comman- der-in-ch: Nevertheless, the Asso- ciated Press is informed, Kuropatkin will virtually be in complete, untram- meled command. As has been heretofore stated on high authority the stories of Alexieff’s interference with Kuropatkin are en- tirely without foundation. On the con- trary Alexioff bas always shown the utmost appreciation of peculiar delicacy of his position as Kuropat- kin’s superior, studiously avoiding even the semblance of interference with the operations of the Manchurian army. that Mulden, Sept. 20.—All is quiet here, but fighting is anticipated in the neighborhood of Sinmintin, thirty-five I'miles west of Mukden.

Sept. 20.—The Rus- sian gover s concessions (o neu- tral commerce in the matter of contra- band of war does not meet with the approval of the Novoe Vremya, which declares that the game of stopping neutral merchantmen is not worth the candle if Russia decides in advance to restore the contraband seized.
