London. June 30.-The news from Wash-
ington t Imt steps were believed to have
boon taken, looking to the mediation be-
tween Russia and Japan creates great
surprise here. The British government
not only has taken no part In such meas-
ures. but apparently is ignorant that
they are in progress.
OfEic-inl opinion here, from Premier Bal-
rour. is that the time Is not yet ij:«
fu. any c fT. r of nn i.iation, but, .o qiiot-i
H person lh Air. Balfour's cbnfidvnoe.
Great Britain has kept the door ..pen

If 1
... j u > •uiiiiiKt;n(ry. It Is not like-
ly that tills government would be accep-
table in the role of arbitrator, hut It
would ut the right time use all its Sn-
f.uriue to urge the belligerents to ac-
rnw11 offer from a suitable mediator.
1 here seems to be no reason for thinking
that the government would not fill that
role suitably, but Russian opinion is al-
ways a rather unknown matter.
Tin highlit sources here and from
the Japanese legation comes the positive
atatenii-nt th.it nothing whatever has re-
sulted from the interviews between King
1-Mward a.ul Emperor William at Kiel
that In any way was conn. , ted with the
i.iinso~Ja| .meno war. There seems to bo
no doubt that responsible ministers se-
riously warned King Kdward that lie
must not initiate any step in that di-
rection with his imperial nephew.
The Japanese legation, It appears, made
discreet inquiries as to whether or not
this advice was carried out. and It was
stated there tonight that there was ev-
ery reason to believe the war was not
discussed at Kiel, except in the more In-
formal way.
It was also pointed out at the Japanese
legation, which was entirely ignorant of

cial* here believe their forces would be
unable either to rest on their present lau-
rels or push forward.
-Whether this is accomplished by a de-
risive battle or by the retirement of the
Russians, the Japanese here say, media-
tion cannot be dreamed of until that
phase of the struggle Is settled one wav
or the other. Subsequent to the Japanese

dominating the Shi Mucheng toad 1:>
this engagemest the Russian losses
were again heavier than those of the
Japanese. The Japanese outmaneuv-
vered the Russians by working around
the enemy's right flank and attacking
him in the rear.
The Japanese advanced in three
columns. One was assigned to de-
\ liver a frontal attack and the others
( to strike the enemy on his flanks. The
column which advanced upon tho
Russian right flank fought a separate
iction. It encountered three battal
l(_ ons of infantry, six guns and two ma
. jhlne guns on Sunday morning. This
egagement lasted until sunset Sun-
flay. At this hour the Japanese
(bivouacked and renewed the assault
at midnight. when they succeeded in
deieadng the Russians.
On Monday morning the 27th, the
Russians were re-inforeed with three
battalions and sixteen guns. They as-
saulted the Japanese viciously anil en-
deavored to retake the position they
had lost.
They were repulsed and Japanese
flankers worked their way to the rear
of the main Russian position at Fen
Shut pass. This attack occurred nt
3 o'clock in the moruing. In tho
meantime the Japanese column which
had been assigned to make the fron-
tal attack met and routed ten thous-
and infantry and cavalry and pushed
near Won Chapan Tsu. This happen-
ed on Sunday, the 26th.
