St. Petersburg, Sept. 27. The lat
est developments In the situation at
the front Is the definite establish
ment of the fact that Fiold Marshal
Oyama has now begun to move up
his left. Gen. Kuropatkln'a report
today shows that tho Japanese have
reached Davan, on the west bank of
the Llao river. A considerable con
centration of Japanese Is observed at
Slunchan on the Hun river. 35 miles
southwest of Mukden, and Japanese
cavalry is massing In the valley of
the Public river. The latter Is a trib
utary of the Hun river, which crosses
tho Hue of railway midway between.
Tie I'uhr and Mukden, and mny fur
nish a neutral line of advance from
the west. Oyama's wings are extend
ed to tho north, east and west of
Mukden. Thus far the Russians have
found little or no strength or press
ure from the Japanese center. Oya
ma's west is said to be moving with
great deliberation, probably gathering
Htrength for a rapid advance of both
wings when an attempt Is made to
cIoho the net. Although the imagl-.
nnry lino connecting the extreme Ja
panese advance east and west of
Mukden still paBHes ten miles below
that city, it Is evident that the fate
of Mukden cannot long bo delayed.
If Gen. Kuropalkln intends to try to
hold the city, fighting on his flank,
will begin almost immediately.
