Men Apparently Inactive
South of Liaoyang.
Czar's Trnops Seize Seize Oppor
tunity, to Strengthen
Their Positions.
Mukden, Ma 23.The main boiy
of the Japanese forces, estimated at
80,000 men, remains south of the Rus
sian troops, who are covering Liao
yang. They apparently have suspend:
ed their advance.
This inaction causes surprise and
some satisfaction, as every day's post
ponement of a decisive engagement
is considered favorable pr the Rus
sians, who are daily increasing their
forces and are enabled by- the delay
to strengthen their positions. It is
suppos ed that the recent rains ham
per ed the movement of the Japanese
army and compelled a temporary halt.
The Russians still hold the railroad
to Tchikau. ____
RUSSIANS DRIVEN BACK.
Japanese Troops Said to Have Cap
tured Kaichou.
Tokio, May 23.Although it has not
been officially reported it is said on
good authority that the Japanc::-
forces have captured Kaichou, driving
the Russians back to Tashichia, in the
direction of Newchwang, and prevent
ing the advance of the Russian troops
at Newchwang in the direction of Kai
chou.

Kinchou was arrested. The genera
staff ascertains that ibis atfal ciu ui
Kussian troops was supposed to luke
Jap Force O Eighty Thousand plate simultaneously with a land ai
taek by Japanese troops in bay,.
which was unsuccessful^ owing io the
number of Russian mines iheie. The
general staff expects io bear of aaoiBer
stubborn right at Kinchou. The bind
ing of a Japanese forte to bank Kin
chou will be exceedingly ditiu nit. as
the waters of Talienwan bay are too
shallow to permit a debarkati on of
troops.
The general staff says the whole re
gion northwest of Fenghuancheng is
clear of Japanese and that reihforce
me'lifs are daily arrivi ng at Liaoyang.

London, Ma 23. A dispatch to tin
Japanese legation from Tokio says
Vice Admiral Togo has reported as
follows:
"The gunboat squadron and the tor
pedo boat destroyers and torpedo boat
flotillas approached Port Arthur Fri
day for the purpose of recbnhoitering.
which was successfully effected with
little damage, in spite of a hot cross
fire from the forts. There were no
casualties on our side."
