den.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 11.-General
Kuropatkin's order of the day, an.
nouncing his determination to take the
offensive, Is supplemented by the news
that an offensive movement has al
ready been begun and that the Japan
csc line had been broken at Bentsia-
putze. The Japanese occupied a front
of about 81 miles, stretching from
Bentsiaputz, on the east, through Yen
tai and across the railroad to the
banks of the Hun river on the west
The Russian forces had been moving
south in close touch with the Japanese
advance since OCTOBER 4. The Japan
csc outposts were driven back in a
series of skirmishes, and on October
6 the Russians reoccupied the station
of Shakhe, Is miles south of Mukden,
the railway battalion restoring the
bridge across the Shakhe river the
next day in order to facnCate the ad-
vance. Meanwhile General Mistch-
enkos Cossacks pushed southwest
ward as far as the Yentai mines, de-
| feating the Japanese in a series of
skirmshes.
The most important action, however,
occurred on the Japanese right at
Bentsiaputze. Here the Japanese held
a strong and important position, but it
seems they made the ineXplicable omis-
sion to fortify the commanding hill
which was the key to the whole situa-
ton. portion of General Kuropat-
kin's force made a strong attack on
Bentsiaputze and, taking leaf out of
the Japanese book, occupied the hill
from the east and flanked the Japan
csc out of the town, causing a serious
loss in the rear guard fight. The Rus
sian casualties are reported to have
been inconsiderable.
While these operations are progress
ing south of Mukden it is reported that
two Japanese divisions under General
Fushimi are marching west up the
Lao river and are now % miles soul-
of Sinmintin General Kuroki is ex-
pected to make a similar move east

First Russian Victory.
The first real success scored by the
Russians has fallen to their lot, &C
cording to dispatches received at the
war department. They have won a
sweeping victory few miles north of
Mukden in one of the fercest engage
ments of the struggle for Mpchurian
supremacy, and although the forces
pitted against each other were not
particularly large the victory was none
the less decisive. If the advices re-
ceived by the war department are cor
rect, then General Mistchenko, the
hero of the battles of the end of July,
has secured absolute control of the
country surrounding Flu pass and the
Fusan mines, effectively cutting off
the Japanese from further advance
upon the region of the Yentai rail-
road.
