MAY FIGHT NO MORE
BEFORE NEXT SPRING.
Opposing Armies May Now Be in
Winter Quarters.


Mukden Nov. 25, via Pelxin, Nov. 26.-
The lapse of six weeks without fight
ing on any large scale, confirming the
belief that the opposing armies have
relaxed for the winter. together with
the unexpected demonstration of force
which the Russians have been able to
make since the depletion of their army
as the result of the fighting on the
Shakhe river. emphasizes conclusively
the failure of the Japanese to prevent
the assembly of a large Russian army
in Manchuria before spring, thus de-
feating the strategy of the Japanese.
and their most plausible plans for the
earliest occupation of Manchuria.
This outcome, taken in connection
with the general situation, appears to
guarantee that with the opening of
spring there will sbegin contest far
more terrible than any yet fought,
and points to the termination of the
war in the next campaign. 1t is still
possible that there will be a general
attack during the winter, but the
weather is now broken and uncertain
and seen 7gly renders it impossible
for the troops of either army to aban-
don their present shelters.
The hostilities are now characterized
by individual efforts of a most daring
and dangerous character. One out
come of the close relations between the
Russians and Japanese along the Shak-
he river has been the occasional blow
ing up of houses by the opposing out
posts and the sniping Of their occu-
pants.
Chinese authorities have taken pre-
liminary steps to bring grain from the
the starving farmers and villagers.
This action was brought about by the
destitution which has been prevalent
some twenty miles behind the Rus
sian army, which is communicating all
grain and other food supplies, and also
because of the fear that the army will
move north again.
Russian s0eculators are confident
that the army will hold its own, and
are storing straw and other supplies
with a view to the coming of a time
when higher prices can be obtained.
AS has been the case in all wars there
is wide complaint that spectators
and army contractors are fleeing the
government, and the Russians are
freely denouncing them as the partic-
ular curse of their country.

Ihe prosecution has kept up an nm

was Smith who purchased the revolver
with which Young was shot. and that
he would prove 10 be their strongest
witness IL he could be found Already
ofnitns photograph has been intro
duced in the case and identified. and
the prosecution has promised that the
pawnbroker who sold the revolver Will
also identify the photograph as that
of the man who purchased the weapon.
Mr.. Rand asserts that some of the
defendants witnesses before they went
to the Office Of Abraham Levy and vol
unteered their services for Miss Pat

they had seen the shooting, and that
the actress held the weapon in her
hand. At that time, he says, these

the prosecution cast the offers aside.

"A Despatch From SakharOff.
lBy the Associated Press. }

st. Petersburg, Oct. IA dispatch
from General Sakharof dated early
this morning, says regarding the fight
ing of ctober 2 and 13, that the Rus
slams on the right wing defended their
advanced positions and also portions
of the different main positions, parIic-
ularly in the direction of SialiuhedZy,
until towards evening when Kuropat-
kin ordered them to withdraw a short
distance. In spite of the fact that the
japanese attacks were chiefly direct
ed against these troops they held the
ground TO which they retired.
On the left wing, after a very OBJ
stinate struggle, the Russians occu-
pied the Rocky Hills, south of Bent
siaputze, and near Bensihu, about ten
miles north of Yentai, but the arrival
of large Japanese reinforcements pre-
vented them from profting by this
success and as this body was separat-
ed from the rest of the troops Kuro-
patkin ordered 1T to retire.
The dispatch reiterateS that the
Russians suffered heavy losses, but no
details have yet been given out
A later dispatch from General
Sakharoff, sent at six o'clock this
morning, explains more fully the op-
erations of October II and 13. 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
JaDaneSe made series of determined
attacks on Sialiuhedzy, about seven
miles north of Yentai, but the Russians
held off their assailants. In the
meantime, however, the extreme right
comparatively lightly held, was forced
back, thus compelling Kuropatkin
slightly to draw back his line above
Yentai in order to preserve it's align
ment. On the extreme left after a
determined resistance, the Russians
succeeded in carrying the rocky
heights and Hun Pass, north of Ben
sihu. but the arrival of Japanese re-
Inducements, Sakharoff says, made il
! impossible for the Russians to press
their advantage here, and as the left
was now 200 far advanced it also was
withdrawn some distance.
