APPALLING TOTAL OF DEAD.
japanese Counting the Piles Of Russian
Corpses.

Toxic (SpcciaD There is a strong
appeal for peace in the appalling trag-
edy which is now under enactment in
Manchura.
Both armies have fought fcrociously
for week and desperate fighting still
continues. 1t is probable that the
death roll will be largely increased
before the final shot is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate
that about 10000 men OF both sides
have been either killed or wounded,
the larger portion OF them being Rus
SLAMS, since the armies of the two
bslligerents closed in combat.
Before the severe fighting on Octo-
Der ID General Oku's army alone re-
covered and buried 1000, making the
total number OF Russians buried by
the Japanese, with Nodzu's army still
TO hear from, $3.50. Applying the
usual calculation and making reason
able allowance for the fighting OF
the I4th and 18th, the Russian losses
will exceed 10000.
Fragmentary reports OF Japanese
casualties are coming in. General
Oku, up TO and including October IA,
lost $500 men. 1t is estimated that
the total Japanese loss will be fully
10000.

TWELVE DEAD IN SHIPWRECK.
Lifeline Reached the Wentworth, But Was Of
No Avail

Chatham. Mass. (SpcciaD A small
part OF the forward section of the
hull and slanting forcmast stand
as mute reminders OF the ocean trag-
cdy enacted here when the three
masted schooner Wcstworth, Of
Moncton, N. b., struck on Chatham
bar during raging northerly gale
and all on board pcrished in the ter
rife seas.
OF the IL persons who were on
board the stranded vessel not one
reached the shore alive, although two
bodies were taken from the surf, one
OF them that of woman, believed to
be the wife OF the captain. With her
three children she was accompanying
her husband on trip from Hills
boro, N. b.. to Newark, N. J.
Little could be done in an effort
to aid the crew of the disabled craft,
as the Cape Cod lfe-savers from two
stations were unable to launch their
surf boats in the tremendous seas. A
shotline was fred to the schooner,
which lay not much more than 900
yards from shore. There was one
answering pull, and the life-savers
thought that they heard voice above
the roar OF the surf crying "All right. 4"
but beyond this there was no sign
OF life on board the craft.
When the wreckage came ashore il
was found that the first line had been
made fast to the wheel of the schoon-
or, and it is believed that heavy sea
swept over the vessel just as the line
was fastened, and that all the men on
deck were washed overheard.
The Wentworth carried a cargo Of
plaster rock. On board, so far a,
known, were the captain. his wife and
three children and crew OF seven
men.
