made the base of one of the reserve
forces which is being brought from the
south
General Kuroki's total losses in the
battle of the Shaotakan hills and the
engagements near Pensihu are esti-
mated at 5000.
A crushing defeat has been admin
istered to the Russian right by General
Oku at Yen Tai. The entire Russian
lines, extending from the Hun river to
the railroad, were driven back twenty
miles with terrible losses on both sides
and but for the awful punishment suf-
fered by the Japanese, General Ku-
ropatkin's right would have been COM
pletely crushed. AS it is, the flank
is utterly disorganized, the Russian
commanders endeavoring to rally their
forces northeast Of Changtan.
Reanforcements are advancing to
the aid of the Russian right from the
north and II is reported that the re-
serves stationed at Shiliho are being
drawn upon.
The losses inflicted upon General
Oku have not yet been estimated. His
complete victory came after sixteen
Russian attacks had been repulsed
The battle extended over territory
four miles from the west to the east
and six miles from the south to the
north.
The Russians had one hundred and
ten guns in the area, keeping up a
terrific fire during the attacks. The
Japanese guns numbered only sixty,
but the fact that the Russians were ad-
vancing with utter disregard of the
cost of life, afforded the Japanese the
opportunity to direct their fire with
deadly effect
1t was evidently the purpose of the
Russians not only to check japanese
through the japanese lines and gain
possession of the eastern shore Of the
Hun river whence they could have pro-
ceeded to point at the rear of General
Nodzu and the center army
The fifteenth and sixteenth Russian
attacks were only desultory and their
repulse was followed by the advance
of the entire Japanese line to a point
six miles north of the original posi-
! ton.
The Russians retreated twenty miles
to the north.
Seventy guns were captured by Gen.
eral Oku.

.KUROK HAS CAUGHT
KUROPATKIN IN TRAP
Marquis Oyama Is Heavily Reinforcing kurol<i tc
Enable Him to Complete the Coup Planned.

Lao Yang. Oct. 14.--This city Is in
turmoil of excitement over the re-
port brought in by wounded soldiers
from the right wing of the Japanese
army, that General Kuroki has caught
General Kuropatkin in trap. having
cut him off with four Russian divisions
whom he attempted to save from be-
ing isolated and enveloped east of
Pensihu (Benhsuhu)
Confirmation Of the report from au-
thoritative sources is lacking, but the
bearers of the news insist that the re-
port spread like wildfire throughout
the japanese right wing and that
Field Marshal. the Marquis Oyama
has ordered vast masses of reinforc-
ing troops to the assistance Of General
KuroH to enable him to execute the
coup as planned.
There is no longer any doubt Of the
success Of the fanking movement and
the isolation of the four Russian d.
visions, the only question being wheth-
permitted himself, personally, to be
trapped.
General Kuroki is pushing the Rus
sian divisions eastward, in order to
make their isolation complete and to
preclude the possibility Of Russian re-
Inducements reaching them. The jap
anese are fortifying their positions tc
the north.
Another of General Kuroki's col
umns today captured the Shaotakar
hills, to the south of Benlsiaputze
after series of fierce engagements IN
which 1900 Japanese and nearly 1,50t
Russians fell. An entire battery was
captured and now the hills, which
may be called the key to the Russian
left advance are in the hands OF the
japanese. The Japanese were driver
hack five times and hundreds fell ir
the trenches without being able to de
liver one telling blow. Ultimately
| however, a daring side attack was de-
livered by two regiments while the
rest of tho force renewed it's advance
upon the entertainments and in the
face of a withering ire stormed the
Russian positions. The slaughter was
frightful, the Russians resisting the
onslaught heroically until virtually
driven to precipitate retreat.
japanese guns are now being mount
ed on the hills and several strong de-
tachments have been ordered to occupy

In wealth and population. When she
sent her armies to other countries to

suit was that she went 70 pieces. The
