SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS
Only Unimportant Skirmishes Break
Monotony in Manchuria-Eighty
Thousand Were Slain in
Recent Battles.

A review of the recent fighting be-
tween the Japanese and Russians
south of Mukden shows immense. loss
es to both forces, but a decisive vic
tory for neither. The opposing ar
mics are still facing each other,
though a distance of several miles lies
between them. Offensive operations
on the part of Russians are reported
to have been made ten miles from
Mukden, and sk;rmish attacks are Ct
frequent occurrence along the entire
line. No really important aggressive
movements, however, are announced.
A very heavy and decisive engagement
is considered certain to occur before
many days to the southwark Of Muk'
den as a result of concentration in
that vicinity of immense bodies Of the
opposing forces. The weather has be-
come very much colder and great suf'
fering among the soldiers is report
ed.
A dispatch received at the Japanese
legation in London from Toxic, under
Saturdays date, says Marquis Oyama
reports that the Shakhe river engage
ment resulted in the capture by the
Japanese of 500 prisoners and forty
five guns, while 1O.55O Russian corpses
were counted. t..
A St. Petersburg dispatch says: The
war Office is not in a position as yet
to give figures Of the casualties in
the long battle below Mukdsn, but ev.
erything indicates that the Russian
losses reached 100000, the figure given
by the Associated Press correspond
ent at Mukden. Another correspond
ent places the loses on both sides at
$4,000.
The war Office is convinced the JAP
anese losses, while below those of the
Russians, were almost as heavy.
A delayed Mukden dispatch says:
The Japanese hurriedly evacuated
Shakepu, three miles east Of Shakhe
station, on Thursday night in order to
escape being surrounded. Under the
cover of Thursdays fog they had tried
to surprise the ad vance guard I'M
mediately on the Russian right flank.
Tie latter repaid them in their own
coin with interest by taking Shakepu
on both fianks and not leaving the
Japanese any alternative except
hurried fight. They abandoned a
quantity of arms and ammunition.
Several japanese came into the Rus
sian lines and voluntarily surrendered.
A Toxic special OF Sunday says:
Manchurian headquarters, reported By
telegraph yesterday Saturday, says
that the number Of Russian dead
found on the battlefield and inferred
up to October %, makes a total Of
10,55O. Upon this total Russian cas-
ualties are estimated to exceed co.
900. The Japanese captured total
of forty-fve guns during the Shakhe
OperatiOnS.

More American Marines to
Be Sent to Panama.
TROUBLE is THREATENED
DisgruntIed coIombians Said to Be
Preparing to Renew Warfare on
Anniversary Of Secession of
the isthmus.

A, Washington special says: Ameri.
can marines will be retained On the
isthmus Of Panama for the present,
prepared to meet any emergency
which may arise as the result Of the
disgruntled elements in the new re-
public. This decision was reached
Thursday and orders have been issued
for a new battalion of marines to go
TO the island, about November Is,
to relieve the battalion which has been
there for year. The new battalion
will be commended by Lieutenant Col
onel Thomas N. Wood. The exact
number Of men in this new battalion
has not been decided On, but it proba-
bly, will be of about the same size as
the battalion now OF the island, which
is to be brought home and dispersed
among the marine barracks in the
northern part Of the United States.
That the situation on the isthmus IS
still not all that could be desired is
the news which came to Washington
Thursday in a. personal letter from an
official now in Panama. While the Pan
anna government is entirely loyal. it
seems that there are certain disgrun.
tied elements on the isthmus, and IN
view of the ease with which revolu.
tions are started in Central and South
America, it is the official opinion in
Washington that the marines should
remain there for the present.
1t is hoped that the mission of Sec
retary Taft will have far-reaching ef-
feet in bringing all elements on the
isthmus into harmonious accord with
this governments policy.
Coombians Concentrating.
There is a rumor current in Colon
that a large body of armed Colon
bians has been concentrated near Cule-
bra with the intention of making an at.
tack there on November 4, the first an
niversary Of the secession of Panama
from Colombia. The canal zone AL.
thorities are investigating the report,
though not much Importance Is at
tached to the rumor, the origin Of
which is attributed to malcontents.
J Glad Taft is Coming.
A Panama special says: The news
from Washington that Secretary OF
War Taft is to come to the isthmus
next month, accompanied by Minister
Obaldia and William Nelson Crom
we'll, counsel of the Panama company,
to arrange the matters in controversy
between the United States govern
ment and Panama and the declara.
tions Of President Roosevelt on the
subject, are received with satisfaction
in all circles President Amador is in
receipt of messages Of congratuiation
from all parts Of the republic.

There have been several brisk skirm'

Russian Baltic Fleet Goes
Wrong at the Very Start.
ENGLAND TO HEAR FROM
Hull Fishing Fleet Shelled in North
Sea Without Apparent Provoca-
y ton and CONSERVATION.
Reigns in London.

A dispatch from Hull, England,
says: NJ. Jackson & Company, So
licitors for the owners Of the fifty
Hull fishing boats have notified the
foreign office and admiralty at London
of an attack on the Hull fishing fleet
by the Russian Pacific feet, common
ly known as the Baltic squadron,
commanded by Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky.
The official information is that
shortly after midnight Friday the Rus
sian squadron fell in with the Hull
fishing fleet in the North sea. The
first portion of the fishing fleet pass
ed safely Then the Russian ships
turned their searchlights on the Brit
ish vessels for some time, and a little
later opened fire, many of tie crew
being seriously injured.
The steam traWler Crane was sunk
and the decapitaced bodies OF her
skipper and mate, Messrs. Smith and
Leggett, have been brought to Hull.
The boatswain and other members OF
the crew who are understood to be
seriously wounded, are on bo-rd
mission ship. The only slightly in
jured member of the crew has al
rived at Hull.
Fishing Boats Badly Riddled.
The news has created an intense
sensation, and indignation in Hull.
The Moulmein arrived with her flag
at half mast. Her skipper states that
the trawlers were fishing about 220
miles east by north of Spurn Head at
l o'clock Saturday morning, the wealth
er being hazy, when the outlines OF
several vessels, apparently warships,
sailing in a line were dimly seen.
While the crew were watching the
warships searchlights were flashed
upon them, in the fare of which the
Moulmein's crew observed what they
took to be torpedo boats approaching,
apparently with the intention OF
boarding the Moulmein. They steam
ed away, however, and soon the fish
ermen were Mortified to find they
were being fired upon.
First one and then another trawler
was struck by flying shot. What
seemed to be a round shot went
through the Moulmein galley. The
Mino, lying nearby, also was struck
with many shots, but fortunately the
damage was above her water line, and
none of her crew was struck. The
bombardment lasted about 20 min
utes. When it had ceased the feet
sailed southwark.
No motive can, be assigned for the
extraordinary procedure Of the Rus
sian warships.
According to other reports the af-
fair occurred 200 miles of Spurn
Head. The Russian ships were steam
ing in line. The leading ships pass
ed without incident though most II
the vessels turned searchlights on the
trawlers long enough to prevent any
mistaken identity.
After the bulk Of the squadron had
passed, it opened fire, nearly all psr::
ticipating in the firing. The Crane
was struck below the water line and
raked above deck. Skipper Smith
and Third Hand Leggett had their
heads carried clean away by shell.
many Of the crew being seriously
wounded
Another trawler also was sunk, but
the Sea Gull, which arrived later and
brought the news to Hull, has 10 par.
ticulars as to her fate.
