This is foreshadowed by the success of General Ivuroki in making a flank movement north of the Yenthai hills, thus swinging his army to the northwest, only ten miles south of Mukden. His former positions lower down, near the Tai river, undoubtedly have been occupied by General Nodau's divisions, and General Oku's army is attacking from the south No Brass Bands For Parade, Rome, Sept. 6.—'It is stated that during the last fortnight over 4,000 Italian immigrants have landed at Naples from New York and Philadelphia, having found it impossible to obtain work in America.

The roads north of Mukden, should he be able to continue his retreat, will foiipe him to abandon all his heavy war material.
