Tho Paris correspondent of “Tho Times” says;—“lnformation reaches me that no small anxiety prevails in those quarters responsible for the supplies of the Russian army in Manchuria as to the provisioning of the troops during the months of April and May. The fact of tho matter is that tho whole, resources of Manchuria will be exhausted. There will bo no harvest this year, and none of last year’s crops will bo left. Neither will there be any cattle. Three months’ stores were burnt at Liao-yang and Mukden, and 500,000 troops will be dependent on the supplies that can bo forwarded by the Manchurian railway. The army is already living-from hand, to mouth.”
