PETERSBURG, May 20.—The War Gffice confirms the report from Gunshu Pass that Field Marshal Oyama is on the eve of taking the general offensive and no doubt is entertained here that Ceneral Linevitei: wifl ac- cept battle in his present position. The genera! staff’ believes Oyama’s advance was precipitated by the doubt regard- ing the issne of the coming naval battle bétween Admirals Rojestvensky and Tégo. With an unbeaten army in front of him, Oyama’s position might be critical if his communications with Japan were interrupted, even tempor- arily.
