WITHDRAWING HIS ARMY.
kuropatkin Fighting Stubborn Rear
Guard Action.

Toxic, Oct. 20.-No reports from the
Japanese Manchurian headquarters
were received during the day and as
consequence it is assumed here that
inactivity has followed the abortive
Russian assaults of Monday night
The Russian concentration in front
of the armies of Generals Oku and
Nodzu (the left and center, respec-
tively) on Monday, reported by Field
Marshal Oyama, created the impress
sion here that the Russians were plan
ming to assume the aggressive, but it
is now thought that General Kuropat-
kin is merely seeking to protect his
right and rear in order to gain time
to withdraw his army across the Hun
river, because 1t Is believed that 1t Will
be impossible for him either to move
aggressively against the Japanese or
to hold his position on the Shakhe
river. Figures showing the Japanese
losses since Oct. 10 are still incom-
piete, as is the count of the guns and
other Russian property captured by
the Japanese. Figures showing the
losses to the Russians are likewise in
complete.
There is a popular impression here
that affairs at Port Arthur are reaching
a crisis and 1t is believed that the END
is only a question OF days.

ONLY PARTIAL SUCCESSES.
Russian View of Capture of Lone Tree
Hill and Shakhe.

St Petersburg, Oct. 20.-TLe flush
of enthusiasm over the capture OF Lone
Tree hill and Shakhe, the repulse OF
the attacks of the Japanese left and
the hard drubbing given General va
mada, with the capture of fourteen ad-
ditional guns, has given way to a
calmer and more sober appTaisement
of these partial successes.
Field Marshal Oyama evidently con.
siders that Lone Tree hill, from which
Kuropatkin could pivot a turning
movement against his left, to be of
vital importance. as both Monday and
Tuesday nights, the las.er during q
terrific storm, made desperate EFFORTS
to recapture it, accomparyins .ne as

WAITING FOR DRY ROADS.
General kuropatkin May Again Assume
Offensive.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 20.-The dis
patch from General Sakharoff, dated
at noon, confirms the Associated Press
previous Mukden adyices saying there
was no fighting Tuesday night. The
general reports that the Japanese are
concentrating at Sinchinpu, but the
most important information Is the fact
that the Russian right is being ex-
tended westward, the center of the
right being now facing Sinchinpu.
This may have been necessary In order
to protect Kuropatkin's right. or, IL
the offensive is imminent, for the pur-
pose OF, In conjunction with the ad-
vance of the center, crumpling up both
General Oku's fianks and driving him
towards the Shakhe river.
Other signs Of the offensive are no
ticed. There has been slight move
ment of the left upon the Bentsiaputze
roads from Mukden and Pushun. No
big movement, however, Is possible
pending the drying of the roads.

REPULSED BY THE RUSSIANS
JAPS MAKE AN EFFORT TO RE-
CAPTURE THE POSITION OF
LONE TREE HILL.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 20.-The en-
perof has received from General Ku-
ropatkin, under date of Oct. Is, the
following dispatch:
During the night the Japanese at
tackled our advanced positions at Lone
Tree hill, but they were repulsed. No
reports have been received OF any
other engagements. Everything was

Inc Japanese ADVANCE is ten miles
south of Mukden. The Russians have
built heavy defenses two miles south
of the Hun river, where they are ex-
pected to make stand. There are no
natural defenses at that point.
The Japanese report that the battle
has been the most severe yet fought on
the plains, where the Russian forces
consisted of the First army corps and
the Fifth and Sixth Siberian corps.
The only defenses were infantry
trenches, which were hastily made.

French Paper Severely crlticises Rus
sian Leaders.

Paris, Oct. 20.-The Temps gives
prominence to statements in q dis
patch from st. Petersburg, which. 1t
says, comes from a highly authorita-
tive source, severely criticising the
Russian generalship In the latest bat
tie. A detailed explanation is given
of the various reverses and the writer
adds:
"At not point were available Rus
sian forces concentrated for an effec-
tive offensive. Large numbers OF men
and cannon remained unutilized. Or
ders were changed suddenly In con-
tradiction and confusing each otner'
testifying to general incompetence.
General Stakelberg's army, made up OF
the best fighting material, was 80 de-
tached from the main body that the
important turning movement connded
to it was foredoomed to failure
The dispatch adds that the informa-
tion at Mukden indicates an early
evacuation of the town.

beds, as they had evidently made no
effort to escape.
