Petersburg, July 3.—It is reported that the Ministry of War has received despach from General Kouropatkin, 'whose forces have been. extended on the widest front, stating • that he has given the commanders a rendezvous for concentration considerably to the north of their present positions. The Japanese commanders,. Kuroki and Oku are jointly pressing the Russians to Oku, the execution of the plan. The activity of the courtiers who have become Gen. Kouropatkin's critics has been inereesing since his demand for three more army corps. The total force under Gen. Kouropetkin's direct; COM. mend. defending _Liao 'Yang 04,000, against 142,000- Japanese in the front line of attack, with great reserves. The disparity in the quantity and calibre of artillery is much greater. The reason given why Gen. Kouro- patkin's requeet should be refused is thee the raising of fresh troops imme- diately after the, ordering out of the $t, Petersburg, Moscow and Kharkoff *corps would mean the choosing of old- er and unserviceable reserves or depict- ing the barracks. This conceals the real facts. Three mouths ago Gen. Kouropatkin ordered largo reserves of boots and saddlery leather equipment,. on which the rainy eereon in Manchuria has the same effect as a prolonged soaking in hot salt water. The money was voted and the functionaries and high personages • forthwith proceeded to handle it as if Gen. Kouropatkin's order was intended for their benefit,: These people are now unitedly resisting the prospect of equip- ping 200,000 more men this year. 'leThe Russian people generally are en - afleting their days of defeat and retreat without dejection, just as they heard of Japan's maritime misfortunes with- out gladnese. The,y calculate dieptts- eionately now on the chances of the rainy season, whether they -will be stronger after enforced suspension by laving accumulated more men and cannon; or, worse, by having to fight in the hot' Amon, which agrees better • with the Japanese and their light ac- coutrements than with the Russians. . ale mobilization of the new army corps from hero, Moscow and Kharkoir proceeds without the slightest; martial ardor, but also without tbe complete Noel:down that the euthorities feared. M. de Melee has abated nothing of his implacable repressions of every movement touching the sphere of pub- lic functionaries Who still believe that they. evil weather the storm and go on helping themselves to the • public money -with both hands in the old way. The only factor that disturbs them is the Mood of the Emperor himself. • He remains at Peterhof secluded and depresecd, in a state that comes • near chronic melancholy. Cm. Kouropatkin has become markedly taciturn since the attempt of Admiral Alexiefr stud the Grand Dukes here to force his hand to attempt the relief of Port Arthur. The Emperor's occasional ineetinge -with his Ministers and military ad- visers are now .01. the most cheerless kind. The interebanee of encourag- eig and reassuring telegrams, which ----•had been conetant until -the Wafting fight, have note seemed. The Emperor's mood is one which by itself might compel lam to take sensational steps to secure peace, but everything points to circumstances being stronger than himself, rted the war is following the appointed course.

St. Petersburg, July 3.—The Bourse Gazette's correspondent at the front asserts that the Ruesians recaptured the Dalin or Talien, Motion and Non- skid Passes after hard fighting on Thursda.Y last, and that the !Japanese aro reported to be retiring front all their positions. • The Liao Yang corespondent of the Official Messenger •deseribes the hp • anese attack on the 'Alien Pass, whence Gen.
