There is no official confirmation
here of the report from Toxic that a
Russian attack on the japanese right
on October IL had been repulsed If
this report proves true it may involve
serious consequences for the Rus
SLAMS who crossed the Shakhe while
the river was fordable. According to
the press Mukden dispatches, the
water has since risen man-high in con-
sequence of heavy rains, and therefore
it would be well nigh impossible for
the Russian army to recross the river.
owing to the absence of bridges. 1t
would be equally difficult, for the same
reason. to bring supports, supplies and
ammunition to enable General Kuro-
patkin to follow up this advance.
This may explain the statement in a
Mukden dispatch that the fighting
was slackening on the morning of
October is.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 10 (2:50

NEWS CAUSES SURPRISE.
past forty-eight hours had been hint
ing that the Russian army was on the
eve of another advance, but it was
thought here that the troops were too
exhausted by more than a week OF
titanic struggle to engage in an imme-
diate advance movement. Therefore
the definite news of the resumption of
the advance was calculated to arouse
the greater satisfaction; but the
realization of the significance of news
permeates the masses here more slow
ly than in American cities. The kaleid-
oscopic changes on the Shakhe River
have been too swift for the populace to
follow. and so the better news from the
front has been so far taken with COM
parative quiet. In the best informed
circles, however, it is already accepted
as true. 1t is believed that General
Kuropatkin intended to signalize the
CZarevitch's fete by victory, just as
Grand Duke Nicholas did at Plevna.
GENERAL YAMADA'S REVERSE.
The failure of the War Office to give
out dispatches is attributed to the hol-
iday, the censors' commission disband-
ing early. However, it is learned on
good authority that the Emperor has
received a telegram from General Ku-
ropatkin reporting that the Russians
are moving forward.
The reverse sustained by General
Yamada's column has not yet been re-
ported by General Kuropatkin or Gen
eral Sakharoff except in reference to
an unsuccessful Japanese attack near
Shakhe. The press dispatch from
Mukden evidently refers to this affair
in reporting that the Japanese left had
been beaten off with a terrible slaugh-
ter and it's retreat cut off by Russian
army corps.
Another press dispatch from Mukden
confirms the news of the Russian adj
vance when, telegraphing tonight, the
correspondent says:
1T is rumored that we are moving
ahead"
