STAKES ALL ON PRESENT FIGHT
Battle Is of Vital Consequence to Gen.
eral kouropatkin.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 13.-No Official
news of the result of the battle south
Of Mukden is available at this hour
General Kouropatkin doubtless has
communicated his regular report to
Emperor Nicholas, but the dispatch
was not sent back to the general staff
The frontal attack on the Yentai
mines developed a desperate battle,
in which probably 100000 men are
engaged, but though the dispatches
30 far deal almost exclusively with
this feature OF the battle, it is pointed
out that there Is much wider field
involved. A fight on the Russian left
nank has not yet developed and pos
sibly here General Kouropatkin in
tends to deliver his main blow. The
battle now in progress undoubtedly
will outweigh in importance the hard
fight at Lao Yang. For Kouropatkin,
victory, partial or complete, is neces-
sary. Defeat would certainly spell
ruin for his military reputation. and
probably prove a disaster OF the first
magnitude to the Russian army. But
Russian success now means a winter
campaign and immensely enhanced
prestige, not only for Kouropatkin
personally, but for the Russian arms
in Manchuria in the eyes of the Chi
nese, which is an important factor In
the present situation. The effect also
OF defeat upon the gallant garrison OF
Port Arthur. after hopes Of relief had
been held out, would be most disas'
trous. For all these reason General
Kouropatkin's friends are convinced
that the offensive was taken with
open eyes and with a full apprecia'
ton of its difficulties and a firm be-
lief that victory would be achieved.
On the other hand, some OF his enc
miles are unkind enough to intimate
that General Kouropatkin has rashly
risked his army, knowing that victory
now will ensure his selection as COM
mander-in-chief of both Manchurian
armies.

Movement-DetaiIs Of Movements
at the Front.
London, Oct. 13-General Kouro.
patkin's advance has been met with
O counter advance of the forces under
Field Marshal Oyama. According to
advices received at Toxic, fighting is
in progress between Lao Yang and
Mukden, but reports from Russian
sources declare the fghtng there is
merely In the nature of an advance.
Kouropatkin Is reported to be aim.
ing to strike squarely at two widely
separated points on the Japanese left.
There has been hard fighting a short
distance north OF Bentsiaputse, in
which q Russian loss Of $50 killed or
wounded 10 admitted. The Japanese
say they have cut of a Russian col.
umn south Of the Taitse river. No
Official reports from the front were
received by the Russian war office.
and the fact is regarded In some
quarters as indicating the nonsuccess
thus far of General Kouropatkin's for
ward movement. Military authorities,
however point ont that owing to the
magnitude of the movement planned,
It is too early to expect news Of de.
cisive results.
The battle raging south OF Mukden
has revived to the full public inter
est in the war. PieCemeal reports
from both sides are discussed and
analyzed in the fullest detail, In the
belief that this will prove to be the
greatest enlightenment OF the present
campaign, and the news so far re-
ceived inclines the military experts
to the opinion that General Kouro-
patkin is running tremendous risks
by his bold initiative. There is yet
no confirmation of the report that
General Mistchenko's force is cut OFF.
