FIGHTING ALONG FRONT.
OUTPOSTS KEPT ACTIVE.
Russians Open Inquiry at I'go-
Frances Work for Peace.

vsoukden Oct 3o-The attack by the jap
anese on the Buddhist Temple Hill on OCTOBER
27 led to sharp fighting. The japanese ar'iiieFS
played on the position from early I'm the morn
ing. rendering the trenches untenable, shells ana
shrapnel demoIshing all the shelters Two ma
chine guns with the battalion defending the mn
were smashed and disabled. but the defenders
carried off the remains OF the guns when they
were forced to retire. The Japanese infantry
attack under cover Of the bombardment was
made fn close order. There was desperate
hand to hand hghting in the trenches. followed
by a counter attack with the bayonet. The
Japanese finally gained the hill. but were unable
to hold it in the face OF the deadly Russian ar
tillery fire.
There have been a number Of skirmshes along
the whole 'front.' but no development of any seri-
GUS import has appeared. though the armies are
in the closest touch and general engagement
may be precipitated at any time. At one point
the trenches are only four hundred yards apart
They are separated by a small stream. which is
the only water supply in the neighborhood. BY
mutual consent. there is no firing on the water
carriers.
Several positions have already changed hands
many times. IL is related that in one village
that had been taken and retaken by the same
men on both sides Captain Polkanon, on being
driven out one day, left a note in the hut where
he had passed the night saying he would like
TO know the name Of the Japanese officer VINO
was in the habit OF occupying the hut in his
absence. A little later Captain Polkanoff re-
took the village and going through his old
quarters, found the following note in perfect
Russian: II am Captain Yamata. L would be
greatly pleased to make Captain Polkanoh's
acquaintance
To-day was unusually quiet along the whole
front. The Russians are in the habit OF farass-
ing the japanese in the trenches at night. Last
night Russian scouts threw hand grenade into
a Japanese trench near Sin-Chin-Pu, causing
great confusion. The Russian scouts also dis
covered that the Japanese are moving many
batteries to the front. though as yet all have
been carefully masked

INQUIRIES fail to obtain the slightest confirma-
ton OF The report that Admiral Rojestvensky
has requested Emperor Nicholas to relieve him
from his command. The Russian Consul Gen.

was any question OF replacing the admiral. and
that he did not believe such proposition had

The admiral said to-day that he could say
nothing at present about the North Sea inquiry
at Vigo Ten battleships and cruisers. he said

reasserted the truth OF his version OF the

There are five British warships cruising of
Vigo, evidently keeping in observation the Rus
sian vessels here.
The Spanish Foreign Office has given out
statement to the effect that Russia has asked
Spain's permission Tor the SHIPS OF Aonral ho-

RESTRICTIONS ON RUSSIAN PRESS.
Rumor of Intention to Grant Entire Freedom
Doubted in Capital.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 31-Concerning the re-
port that the Emperor is about to issue mani
festo granting almost complete freedom to the
press, so far as can be ascertained here it is
untrue, and received no credence in the best in
formed circles 1t is true, however, that as COM
pared with the administrations OF NJ. Piehve ana
his predecessors in the Ministry or the INTERIOR
the restrictions the press have been so re-
Taxed that the newspapers feel that they are
almost enjoying actual freedom, although IL IS
not the sort of freedom enjoyed under consti-
tutional governments. It IS also true that a
project of reform of the press administration Is
under consideration. which is expected to stiu
further to relax existing restrictions.
