NOTES ON THE WAR.
General Linevitc!) apparently is now eonm'ui'ocl flint the Japanese mean to roach Harbin. Hi- lias ordered European non-com-batants to lea-vo the city, Tho Japanese armies arc advancing along a wide front behind a cavalry screen. One column is said to bo in Mongolia, opposite Kwangcliengue. Tin's place is about thirty milea south of Changchun, the Kirin junction. It stems that tho Russians expect the Japanese to enter Kirin. Tin's is a town about, the size of Auckland. A column may pass through Kirin, but there will be no concentration of the Japanese, at that place. The advance on a wide front will not be checked until .Sun gari Kiver is reached, aud tlr?re will bo littie hesitation there. Highly-organised armies will not bo long checked by a broken army, such as that under General Linovituh. There will bo fighting, but unless Linevitcli possesses genius, the retreat will not end at Harbin.
