"BattIing'' Nelson Gets Decision at Butte City
IS HARD FOUGHT CONTEST
Mexican Administers Awful Punish ment to Nelson, But His Blows Seemed to Lack Force-Purse
 Amounts to $34oo.

Butte, Mont, September 5.--After twen ty rounds of the fercest fighting ever witnessed in this city Battling" Nelson of Chicago. before 10000 persons, was this afternoon given the decision over Areliu Herrera, the Mexican.
 From the tap of the bell of the open ing round the two light weights waded into each other hammer and tongs. Nel- son carried the fight to Herrera's corner almost without cessation throughout the twenty rounds Herrera scored the only lSnockdown of the fight, sending Nelson to the floor with hard right to the jaw and Nelson took the count of nine. Under the rules Herrera was obliged to return to his corner and before he could get to Nelson again the latter was In fighting trim.
 Drops His Guard.
 Herrera in his frantic efforts to land knockout, dropped his guard and Nell son. with u right swing, caught the Mex ioan on the side of the jaw, staggering him. A rush of Nelson then sent the Mexican up against the ropes and Nelson. although groggy, had the Mexican dizzy. The gong saved knockout, although the honors were even, both men retiring to their corners with an unsteady gait.
 The Chicago man was fighting at such close quarters as to place the Mexican at d disadvantage. Although Herrera re- peatedly crossed ais right on Nelson, his blows lacked their fvsner force and seemed to only sting the clever Cni- cago man into greater activity and fierceness. The capacity of Nelson to take punishment was marvellous and his ten acity in pushing the issues with his ops ponent, following a rain of blows iron the Bakerfied man, called for the pro- longed cheers of the crowd. In the twen- tleth round Herrera went after Nelson in manner SO wild that his blows were cleverly blocked by the Chicagoan, who sent in his left and right to the Mex jeans body with telling effect.
 Fought for s34oo Purec.
 The men fought for a purse of $3i0O, 60
 per cent for the winner and 40 per cent
 for the loser. A short time before the fight
 was scheduled to go on thirty constables attempted to stop the affair by filing D complaint against Manager Billy Nolan of the Montana Athletic club. A warrant was issued for his arrest on a charge of violating the city ordinance prohibiting prize fighting but the chief of police re- fused to serve it. The mayor was appeal cd to but he declined to make the chief serve the warrant, saying the city had deferred too long.

lines and we could not bring them in. The Japanese could not remove them and they lay most of the day and night ex- posed in the line of fire. Their cries and groans, which were heartrending could be distinctly heard. Our skirmishers fell on many of them while pursuing the re- treating Japanese and when they could. gave water to them, but had to leave them to be run over by the succeeding waves of the Japanese attacks.
 There was a Hull In the fighting on August 31. General Morozovsky, who was on the firing line the whole time, sat down with a cossack picket In the shelter of trees for cup of tea and a biscuit. The Japanese artillery suddenly fired in the woods and a shell burst. wounding the general in the leg and tear ing off his orderly's arm."

Means Abandonment of Manchuria.

St. Petersburg, September 6,-32O a. m.) Ut is impossible at this hour to obtain any statement from the authorities re- garding the report of the preparations for the abandonment of Mukden.
 This is the first intimation that such 8 course is contemplated. If 1t turns out to be true, it means the abandonment of the whole of south Manchuria and the winding up of the present campaign.
 In fact should Mukden be evacuated there would be no point for wintering the army of a quarter of a million with it's many wounded short of Harbin.
 On the other hand the evacuation of Mukden would give Field Marshal Oyama commodious winter quarters and the prac- tical control of two lines of railway. The Kinchou-Sinmintin line, tapping rich Chinese territory, stops little short of Mukden, with which it is connected by a good wagon road.
 The report of the prospective evacua- ton of Mukder if well founded would in- dicate that the crippllng effect of the Liao Yang fighting on Kuropatkins army is more than has as yet been intimated.

Pushing on to Mukden.

St. Petersburg, September 6.-Q :06 a. m.) A summary of the war situation up to date shows that the whole Russian army, or. at least the main portion of it, is al ready above Yentai Station and is push ing on toward Mukden.
 Field Mn. shal Oyamas entire army has crossed the -'aitse river and part Of 1t is hanging OH 70 kuropatkin's flank.
 Another Hsnking division on the east, pushing rapidly north in the effort to head or! the Russians.
 Against this column Kuropatkin has sent out strong cavalry division to the northeast which it is believed is already in position to check the Japanese fiankers, while to the westward kuropatkin Is moving a division toward Sinmantin, 30 miles west of Mukden, to meet any of the enemy that may attempt a movement from the direction of Yinkow or New Chang Oyama's advance is reported to be engaging the Russian rear but it is not expected to develop anything more serious than series of rear guard actions tending to harrass kuropatkin's retreat. The Japanese have thrown a strong flank ing column across the Taitse river at Benitzu, about 30 miles northeast of Liao Yang. This column is hurrying to tile northeast and endeavoring to get in between the Russians and Mukden. It is against this movement that Kuropatkin has dispatched General Rennikampf with a strong Cossack division which 1t is be- lieved is already blocking the eastern high road. Kuropatkin has three roads over which he is marching toward Muk- den besides the double track railroad.
 Marching in Light Order.
 The latter is chiefly occupied in the transportation of guns and equipment of which there is a great quantity. The sol diers are marching in light order and most of the wounded have already been dispatched north by rail.
 General Kuropatkin in a telegram to the general staff filed at l D. m. September 5 north of Yentai says the battle on Sunday engaged his rear guard south of Yintai, the fight continuing until Mon- day. The telegram details the precautions taken to checkmate the Japanese flank CTS.
 Kuropatkin estimated his losses up to and moulding September 1, at 16,000. This is considered to be very accurate. The loss to the Japanese probably will be double this number owing to their posi- ton as attackers.
 KuropatlSin says nothing regarding the loss of guns, but 1t is probable that some of the heavier emplaced guns at Liao Yang had to be abandoned.
 There is no truth in the report that Kuropatkin has been wounded.

 It was discovered today, alth Ugh 1t is fair to say not in this connection. that in spite of the precautionary measures taken, ball cartridges have been brought into the two big camps. A rigid inspec- ton was ordered today, and the belt of every soldier will be inspected before the companies go into action
