tinuation Of Japanese success. Gen

'Tne report that a large column OF
the enemy is moving southwest and is
commencing the erection of defensive
works at Chienhuangchiatien cannot
be verified.

reported. The right wing of the GEN.
ter column of the left army captured
four guns.

tacks were repulsed with heavy dam
age, which was inflicted by our artiI-
lery and by heavy infantry fire.

while pursuing the enemy west OF the
Schili river captured five guns, max
ing the total number of guns captured

Correspondent Sends Details.
Kuropatkin's headquarters, Oct IA.
MISUNDERSTANDING, a Russian
war correspondent, telegraphs the AS
sociated Press details of the Russian
advance from Mukden beginning Oc-
tober 6. The positions of the vari-
GUS bodies of Russian and Japanese
troops are given and the progress of
the Russians and the retirement of
the Japanese described with much de-
tail. The Russian advance was gen.
eral on the eighth and the Japanese
slowly retreated. That day after
fierce artillery fire the Japanese
abandoned their hill positions at
Bentsiaputsze, leaving their ammuni-
ton boxes behind. 1t is reported
the Japanese lost heavily here.
Meantime hard fighting was pro
ceeding on the extreme east says
the correspondent, where we drove
back the Japanese step by step. The
troops we met here were evidently
fresh importation and not those OPP
posed to us at Liaoyang."
The same day the Voronski regi-
ment occupied the hills in front of
Yentai and entrenched, driving beck
several attacks. That night the Jap
anese retired along the whole line.
Up to October 10 the Russians lost
200 killed or wounded.

HEAVY LOSSES WITH
VARYING RUSSIAN SUCCESS


st. Petersburg, Oct 14.-Desperate
fighting and heavy losses on both sides,
with varying success for the Russians
is the summing up of the situation by
General Kuropatkin in telegram filed
October 49, 4
There is no sign of the battle slack
ening. The conflict has been the most
desperate at the center and on the
west flank The advance guards at
these points had to be repeatedly rein
forced, owing to the great pressure OF
the Japanese attacks. At nightfall of
October 18th the Russian right was
withdrawn from its main position, but
one of the abandoned positions was
retaken at point of bayonet during the
night
Reports Disagree.
Contrary to General Oyama' report
no indication is given in General Kuro-
patkin's telegram of an envelOping
movement by General Oku. The only
positions captured by force were at the
center, where the Russians were COM
PEELED to retire during the afternoon.
There is no mention of loss of guns
The war Office declines to deny there
incident was quite possible while the
positions were changing hands, but
that even if it is true, it is of no ma
terial consequence.
Horrors Intensified.
According to kilograms from Rus
sian correspondents the horrors of the
battle were intensified by bitter cold
and rain.
According to the belief of the gen
eral staff, General Rennenkampff has
not penetrated as far as the Taitse
river, but is cooperating in the at
tempt to capture Bensihu.
Things Desperate at Port Arthur.
In the midst of the anxiety and sus-
pense involved in the fight south OF
Mukden comes also the first word in
many days from the defenders of Port
Arthur. While General Stoessel's re-
port of the conditions at Port Arthur
is no later than October 7, it shows
that the garrison at that time was in
unimpaired spirits, making heroic de-
Tense against series of the most bit
ter assaults in all the history of
sieges.
The most serious feature of General
report, from the strategical
point of view is in the fact that the
Japanese have gotten a mortar battery
in position to bear on the inner for
tress.

The Nails Toxic correspondent as
serts that the pursuit by the Japanese
is working great havoc to the dispir-
tied Russians, who left their dead and
wounded on the field. The Russian

1000 guns, and the correspondent says
the fighting was the most severe and
terrible of the whole war.

Rome, Oct. 14.-At the next consist

not likely that any American cardinal

without awaiting the receipt of the last

Without advising us of the fact that
the breach of such relations would in |
itself mean an opening of warlike OPP |

NEGLECT ALWAYS DANGEROUS.

TO the average man it seems childish
to doctor a cold, and unless it becomes
particularly annoying to him. little or
no attention is given it. Often a cold
contracted in the winter is allowed to
run until the opening of spring. This
is a grave mistake, as even though the
warm weather may bring relief, the
system is thereby weakened and rem
dered susceptible to disease A cold
should never be neglected, whether it
be a child or an adult who is afflicted,
as health and often life is risked. A

GERMAN EXPERTS TALK.

BERLIN, Feb. 10-NavaI men were
doing little else at the Admiralty today
than talking about the Japanese-Rus.
sian engagements and the deductions
was that Japan had acquired such s'I-
periority that her command of the sea
practically results. The unwiIlingness
of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur to
leave the protection of the shore bat
teries enables Japan, in the opinion of
the naval experts here. to conduct her
landing operations unmolested. 1t is
believed Port Arthur will be invested
on the land side as quickly as posi-
BILE.
One of the objects of the Japanese
in engaging the forts, it was further
pointed out, was doubtless to draw the
Russian fire and locate the guns on
shore. That the Japanese ships with
drew was not regarded as indicating
losses.
A contrast is also made between the
condition of Japan and Russian ships.

text of these communications had
leaked out among the newspaper men,
but as the law forbids publication of
such DOCUMENTS until they have ap-
peared in the Official Messenger, the
editors had to wait until the Govern
ment organ printed the news before
starting their own presses
The Associated Press representative,
calling on well known editor, found
him surrounded by throng of promi-
nent citizens, imploring him to read to
them the kilograms he had just receiv-
ed. The editor, pale with emotion, re-
cited the narrative of the lombard
ment OF Port Arthur Many people
kept coming in and the editor was
compelled to read it over and over
again. The crowds expressed serious
Impotence at the fact that nothing
was said about injuries inflicted upon
Japanese warships.
This morning the city was placarded
with the Imperial manifesto. The in
tense indignation with which the news
of the "stab in the back inflicted by
Japan was received here seems to be
general throughout Russia. The whole
Empire is fired by the war fever From
Kieff, Kharkoff, Ekaterinoslav and
Moscow come stories of patriotic DEM
onstrations. Public balls and other
festivities have been countermanded
and the Red Cross Society is besieged
with fair applicants to go to the front.
The state of feeling here was illus
trated at the theaters last night, when
people demanded the National Anthem.
More remarkable was the refusal of
the drosky drivers yesterday to accept
money from officers whom they drove
to the Palace.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. TO-, $50 p.

extras claiming a Russian victory at
