DESPERATE FIGHTING
AND HEAVY LOSSES.
No Sign of the Battle SIacIxening
Reports St. Petersburg.

No Sign of the Battle SIackening
Reports st. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg, Oct. IA. 1850 a. m.-
Desperate fighting and heavy losses on
both sides with varying success for the
Russians, such is the summing up of
the situation by Gen. Kuropatkin in
q telegram filed Oct. 10. There is no
contrary, Gen. Kuropatkin telegraphs
that he had ordered the army to re-
sumo the fight with unabated vigor to-
day. Gen. Kuropatkin, himself, is in
the thickest of the fighting and Gen.
Sakharoff, his chief of staff, is per-
conflict has been most desperate at
the center and on the west flank. The
advance guards at those points had to
be repeatedly reinforced owing to the
great pressure of the Japanese attacks.
At nightfall on Oct. II. the Russian
right was withdrawn from it's main
position; but one of the abandoned po-
sitions was retaken at the point of the
bayonet during the night.
Contrary to Field Marshal Ovama's
report, no indication is given in Gen.
Kuropatkin's telegram of an envelop-
ing movement by Gen. Oku. The
only positions captured by force were
at the center, where the Russians were
compelled to retire during the after
noon. There is no mention of the loss
of guns. The War Office declines to
deny that there was such a loss, but
explains that such an incident was
quite possible where positions were
changing hands, but that even if 1t is
true. ii is OF no material consequence.
According to kilograms from Russian
correspondents, the horrors of the bat
tie were intensified by the bitter cold
and rain Gen. Mistchenko. who had
been reported to be raiding in Korea,
played a conspicuous part in the fight
ing on the Russian left flank.
According to the latest news of the
fighting in the direction of Bensihu,
the Russians were striving for the
possession of a pass, but no news was
received from there yesterday. The
PASS alluded to presumably is the Hu
mass. which is mentioned IN Gen.
Sakharoff's telegram of oct. IL. Hu
mass is eight miles due north Of Ben
eihu. Should this pass fall into the
hands of the Russians. II would in
volve the capture of Bensihu, thus
opening up the road to Lao Yang. Ac-
cording to the belief of the general
staff. Gen. Rennenkampff has not pen
etrated as far as the Taitse river, put
he is cooperating in the attempt to
"a r,tura Rensihu.

GEN. KUR0PATKIN
DECISIVELY WHIPPED.
TOXIC Thinks the Tide Has Turned
Against Him.

Toxic, oct. 10, 2 p. NIT is yet too
early to measure the results OF the
tremendous struggle which has been
N.aged for the past three days south
Of Mukden, but all reports reaching
Toxic indicate that Gen. Kuropatkin
has been decisively whipped and severe
ly punished. The Russian commander
was evidently caught while making
his dispositions with his force scat
tered. and he was beaten before he
could recover.
Much depends on the ability and the
resolution Of the Japanese in apply
ing and following UP their advantages.
Kuropatkin may turn upon favorable
ground and succeed in beating back
the Japanese onslaught, but the tide
seems against him.
The Japanese yesterday began a
desperate effort to turn the Russian
right and II this effort should be sue
cessful, II will carry disaster 10 the
Russian arms.
THE struggle around Bensihu Is be-
ing followed with intense interest here.
1,he Russian force there Is estimated
NJ 1000 and its isolation or loss would
be a severe blow.
Estimates OF the total forces engag-
"a vary. One telegram from LAO Yang
saws that the Russians have 200. 900
men. with 1000 guns. The japanese
force exceeds the number engaged at
the battle Of Lao Yang.

Toxic, Oct. 1S, 1870 D. m.-An ex-
tended report received from the head

great confusion, while another portion
OF the enemy's forces appears to have
fled northward. also in great confu-
sion.
"The right army has sent a detach-
ment toward Shichiastau for the pur-
pose of cutting off the retreat of the
enemy posted at Bensihu and this de-
tachment will reach it's destination
about o'clock this afternoon.
The center army captured two guns
and eight ammunition wagons at Sank
watshishan this morning.
According to statements made by
prisoners, Gen. Kuropatkin, with
three divisions, was in the rear of the
force confronting our right army. The
center and left columns of this army,
after driving strong force of the
enemy before them. took the Russian
positions at Langtouchieh and it's vi
cinity at 1;30 O'Clock in the afternoon
and captured eight guns. The enemy
fled in a disordeTly manner to the
north and our forces, pursuing him,
Immediately advanced toward Lin

'"The right column, after encounter
ing fierce resistance, successfully dis
lodged the enemy, who was holding po-
sitions north of Yendonuilu. The
enemy retired in confusion.
Our force was engaged in pursuing
the enemy toward Lungwangnliae
south of Wulichiah at 1:30 this after
noon.
