RUSSIANS HOLDING ON.
General Kuropatkin Tenaciously Sticks
to Fight

st. Petersburg, Oct. IL. The official
veil was lifted today from the CHASTITY
tragedy around Shakhe, bat even tho
official account, supplemented by nu-
merous press dispatches, leaves much
uncertainty as to the situation Out of
the fragmentary mass Of information at
hand it is possible only Co conclude that
the costly withdrawal and retreat from
Lao Yang is being duplicated upon an
even grander scale after more desperate
lighting and heavier losses.
General kuropatkin's story leaves the
Russians still tenaeiously holding the
north bank Of Shakhe river, but general
belief is that this is only desperate
finale Of one Of the greatest military
dramas Of history, and that the Russian
army as a whole is retreating toward
Mukden. having suffered loss Of over
10000 at the most conservative esti-
mate.
