Large Armies Continue to Surround the Russians.
Liao Yang.—The Japanese continue their advance from the eastward. The southern Japanese army has advanced ten miles beyond Senuchen and halted, evidently awaiting the arrival of General Kuroki. Several days must elapse before General Kuroki and General Oku can get into position and jointly attack Taichao, which it is believed will be the most likely point for an important battle.
Reports of fighting between the Russian rear guard and the advance guard regiments of the enemy are continually coming in. The battles are indecisive, but they show that the Japanese are in great strength and are moving forward regularly on each front, despite strong opposition. This is corroborated by official dispatches. Members of the Red Cross, together with non-combatants who are desirous of witnessing the fighting, are leaving southward daily. It is believed here that a battle between the main armies cannot be delayed longer than a few days, and unless General Kuropatkin decides to abandon his positions south of Haicheng and risk the capture of the small divisions between Siu Yen and Taichao, he will have to fight shortly.
