MANY SMALL SKIRM!SHES
GENERAL kuROPATkIN REPORTS
CLASHES ALONG THE WHOLE
RUSSIAN FRONT.

st. Petersburg. Sept. ga dispatch
received from General Kuropatkin an
nounces that numerous skirmishes
have occurred along most parts of the
Russian front. The Japanese have
not altered their positions east OF the
railroad and confine themselves to out
post attacks to the north, all OF which
SO far have been repulsed.
Reconnaissance by the Russian
troops have established the fact that
the main Japanese forces are still
along the branch railroad to the Yen
tai mines. Both sides are in constant
contact. General Samsonoff's troops
particularly have had frequent en-
counters, but have sustained very few
casualties. The Russians have cap.
tured some Japanese cattle and horses.
The Japanese have constructed pom.
toon bridges over the Taitse river al
Bensihu. The general adds:
"On the night of Sept. 26 Cornet
Mikhelff, with detachment of Ural
Cossacks, attacked the japanese biv-
oucked at Khouandi, causing great
panic. The same day the Orenburg
Cossacks laid an ambush for half a
squadron of Japanese cavalry, who re-
turned their fire, but soon retired,
having sustained considerable loss
and leaving several dead on the field" !"

DELAY IN GENERAL ADVANCE
Marshal Oyama's Plans Evidently Not
Yet Perfected.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-The latest
Official advices from the front are ST.
lent ON the subject OF the Japanese
fanking movements east and west OF
Mukden, from which the war office con-
cludes that Field Marshal Oyama has
not yet begun to press his advance
from Sianchan or up the Lao River
valley, indicating that there is still
further delay in the general advance.
The Associated Press is now author
ized to definitely deny the statement
that the Japanese in any force have
crossed the Hun river about fifty miles
from Mukden. There is no evidence
that the Japanese turning movement
is nearly SO extended. The only Jap
anese at this point are the scouts re-
ported in these dispatches Sept 26.
According to information brought in
by Russian scouts the main Japanese
forces are still concentrated along the
Yentai branch railroad and reinforce
ments are still crossing the Taitse
river, using two pontoons at Bensihu,
FIVE miles due east of Yentai station.
From the latter fact 1t would appear
that the preparations for the Japanese
advance are more backward than here
tOfore supposed.

that the sentimental question of vio-

whether the retreat will be continued

Toxic, Sept. 29.-The government
has decided to foat another domestic
loan of $40,000.000 on conditions SINH
lar to the last. The issue price will
be 92 and the interest 5 per cent.
Business conditions indicate a heavy
subscription. The minister of finance
will meet the bankers of Toxic Thurs
day and of Osaka and Nagoya on Sat
urday to discuss the loan.
1t is probable that the conscription
law will be amended, increasing the
service in the reserve five years and
making the regular reserve service to-
tai seventeen years and five months.
This means a large increase in the
strength of the army.

BIG TURNING MOVEMENT.
Japanese Forces Moving to the East

st. Petersburg. Sept 29.--In sum-
ming up the situation the military ex-
pert OF the Russ says 1t Is evident
from all indications at the front that
the Japanese are engaged In a big
turning movement on the eastward. /.
This would give them the advantage,
as heretofore, Of operating largely in
the mountains, to which their artil-
lery is better suited than for move
ments in the open. But, In the pres
ent movement, the units of the Japan
ese army are necessarily losing touch
with one another Their strategic po-
sition is, therefore, less satisfactory
than at Liaoyang.
