Since the battle of the Yalu the news from the

front has been meagre, but Friday's telegrams indicate that the Japanese are going to follow up their victory and strike another blow on the retreating Russians. A Berlin telegram to Friday's Daily Mail declares, indeed, that their com- munications in Manchuria are giving the Russians " the extremest anxiety." The roads are in such a condition that only five miles a day can be made by the waggons, and forty-five days have been required to move a waggon from Liaoyang to the Yalu. If this is the case, the Russian army which retreated after the battle of May 1st may very easily be caught encumbered with baggage and artillery, and either be cut to pieces or forced to surrender.
