REMARKABLE ADMISSIONS BY A RUSSIAN WRITER. St. Petersburg, Wednesday.—M. Nemiro- vitch Danchenko, of the "Russkoye Siovo," makes some remarkable admissions in one of his articles. "How difficult," he remarks, "is it for our soldiers and officers to tight under existing conditions! Every step which they take provet; the enemy to be better prepared than ourselves, and their arms to J be more perfect. "I have already spoken of their artilierv. Each battery is connectcd bv telegraph with others a.nd with the generaf command. The direction of the battle is changed in a moment and there is no disorder or confusion. "We have very little mountain artillery; theirs is brought forward in every battle in large quantities, and they conceal it so well that we cannot find out wb-ere the fire comes from. "What particularly enhances the Japanese soldiers enthusiasm is the close connection of each one with everybody else, while their responsibility is the same. Each man is an- swerable to everybody and everybody to each.—Central News. EIGHT RUSSIAN WARSHIPS TO GO OUT. (Press Association War Special).

If General Kuropatkin is defeated, he mast either move westwards, or surrender. Foreign military attaches, with the Second Japanese Army, are on their way to the front, to witness the battle. Some Japanese troopships are expected here to-morrow. The Russian troops at Port Arthur have been driven back to their last line of de- fences. The Japanese have 350 guns in action.
