LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 2S.-After ris-
ing to the greatest depth attained since
1883, the Wabash river began to recede to-

will amount to $4,000 and it will be several
weeks before the work of repairing some
of the washouts can be completed. The
interurban service TO this city is still
blocked on account of numerous washouts
and the line to the Soldiers Home is still
under three feet of water. Several families
in destitute circumstances and suffering
from cold and hunger were cared for by the
poor authorities to-day.

union for all the engineers to join the

fight to induce the operators to recognize
their union, as they have in the past, and
contract with them for two years, but it

tract with the engineers organization. as
the miners would refuse to work with them
The miners and operators scale committee

SLAUGHTER WAS F2IGHTFUL
RUSSIAN LOSSES IN PRESENT EN-.
GAGEEENT RUN FAR INTO
THE THOUSANDS.

st. Petersburg, Oct. ia dispatch
from General Sakharoff, sent at 6
O'Clock Friday morning. explains more
of the operations of Oct. IL and IL,
from which it appears that the Russian
center was due north of the Yentai
mines, the right running west a short
distance beyond the railroad and the
left sweeping southeastward toward
Bensihu. The real bloody work did
not begin until Wednesday, when the
Japanese made series of determined
attacks on Sialiuhedzy, about seven
miles north of Yeptai, out the Russians
held OFF their assailants. In the mean
time, however, the extreme right was
forced back, thus compelling kuropat-
kin to slightly draw back his line
above Yentai in order to preserve its
alignment. On the extreme left, after
a determined resistance, the Russians
succeeded in carrying the rocky
heights and Hua pass north OF Ben
sihu, but the arrival of Japanese rein
forcements made 1t impossible for the
Russians to press their advantage
here and as the left was now too far
advanced it also was withdrawn some
distance. Reports from the left, how
ever, only bring the situation up to
Thursday afternoon.
A high officer of the general stan
tells the Associated Press that the sit
uation, while critical, is not desperate.
Kuropatldn is keeping his head and
acting cautiously, as is shown by his
withdrawal of both wings in the hope
that the Japanese assaults will ex-
haust themselves. He says the slaugh'
ter was frightful. No estimate of the
losses is yet possible, but they run
far into the thousands. The losses
were especially heavy on the Russian
left and center. In single regiment
out of over a hundred officers only
eight escaped.

JAPANESE OFFICIAL REPORT
MlKADO's FORCES HAVE BEEN ON
THE OFFENSIVE SINCE DAY
BREAK THURSDAY.

Toxic, Oct. 15.-Marshal Oyama
sends the following report of the en-
gagements of Wednesday and Thurs
day:
''In the direction Of Bensihu the en-
emy made repeated counter attacks on
Wednesday, but were repulsed. The
enemy showed sign of retreat to-
wards the evening and our forces as
sumed the offensive since daybreak OF
Thursday. The fianking movement OF
our strong force Of cavalry on the
Kanien largely contributed to the
favorable development OF the situation
in that quarter.
"The central and left columns OF the
right army both occupied important
eminences, continuing attacks. Oper-
ations OF the central army are pro-
crossing favorably. dislodging the en-
envy there from several strategical
positions. Our reinforcements are ar
irving continually at Yentai."

FACTORY PROGRESS"
CASUALTY LISTS UNDOUBTEDLY LARGE
FIGHTlNG EXCEEDS IN FIERCE.
NESS THE TERRIFIC CON-
BAT AT LIAOYANG.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

The only direct news of the days
lighting in Manchuria is contained in
an official report from Marshal Oyama
to Toxic that the battle is raging along
almost the entire front and that the
Japanese are making satisfactory
progress" Beyond this the dispatches
relate entirely to the developments of
Wednesday and Thursday. They make
II plain that the battle is OF the most
desperate character, the fighting ex-
ceeding in fierceness the terrific COM
bat at Liaoyang. The losses on both
sides are undoubtedly heavy, but no
figures have as yet been received.
Kuropatkin officially confirms the
loss Of large number of guns on his
right flank, which was forced from its
position by night attack of the Jap
anese. He was also compelled to
withdraw some distance on his left,
as the position was found to be too
far advanced.
The dispatches show that the opera
tions of Wednesday and Thursday
were unfavorable for the Russians.
The Russian losses are reported as
especially heavy on their left and CEN
ter, where it appears that the hottest
fighting occurred.

commanoel cl one was kiIled anu the
brigade commander was wounded.
Both regiments were compelled to
withdraw, abandoning their artillery,
but subsequently, under Colonel Van
novsky, who temporarily assumed com
mand of the brigade, they. after a des-
perate assault, regained possession of
the guns with the exception of sixteen,
which remained in the hands of the
Japanese. The final issue of the battle
Wednesday on this flank was unsuc-
cessful for us. On account of a night
attack of the Japanese, who executed
turning movements, our troops were
forced not only to abandon their posi-
tions, but again lost the guns previ-
ously recovered from the Japanese.
Our forces retired to the position pre-
viously prepared on the Shakhe
river"
