kUROPATkIN AN ENIGMA.
English War Experts Fail to See What
He Did II For.

London, Oct. 13.-The great battle
raging south of Mukden has revived to
the full public interest in the Russo
Japanese war. Piecemeal reports
from both sides are discussed and
lanalyzed in the fullest detail in the
belief that this will prove to be the
greatest engagement of the campaign,
and news so far received inclined mil
itary experts to the belief that Gen.
Kuropatkin is running tremendous
risks by his bold initiative.
There is yet no confirmation that
Gen. Mistchenko's force is cut off, and
the fact that Field Marshal Oyama's
report does not mention him is re-
fgarded here as pointing to his escape
AT the same time the dispatches do
not yet point to a success on the Rus
sian side. and the motives underlying
Gen. Kuropatkin's decision to assume
the offensive are considered as diff
cult to understand.

Member of international Congress of

From Of the Russian Gar
risons in the Far East.

st Louis, Oct. 12.-The entire days
session of the International Congress
|of Military Surgeons was devoted tC
the presentation of papers and ad
dresses. The first address was by
Major Lewis Livingston Seaman, Unit
ed States attache, who has just re
turned from the scene of the Russo
japanese war.
Major Seaman's paper gives high
praise to the Japanese hospitals and
to the medical officers.
Major Seaman pointed out the small
percentage OF deaths from wounds
among the Japanese, and said that the
loss from preventative disease in the
conflict would be but fraction of
per cent. This, too, he added, in a
country notoriously unsanitary.
In contrast to this condition of pre-
paredness, Major Seaman described
the conditions which, he said, existed
in the Russian service in Manchuria
prior to the outbreak of the war;
ARRIVING trains," he declared, that
should have been crowded with men
and munitions of war brought each a
full complement of the demi-monde
and vodka. Wine, women and song
were certainly the undoing Of Russia,
where a beauty and bottle were the
highest ambition of its officers, from
general to corporal. Sodom and Go
the current synonyms of Port
Arthur and Vladivostok in the Orient,
were temples of virtue in comparison
TO the debauchery, licentiousness and
openly flanked vice practiced in these
