81. petersburg, Aug. 6.-Detailed re-
ports reaching the war office from Gen.
kuropatkin's generals show that the
Russian losses July 80, July 81 and
August l did not exceed 1000 The
japanese are believed to have lost at
least an equal number.
From comprehensive review of the
fighting obtained by The Associated
Press, it appears that most of the Rus
sian losses were sustained on the Sai-1
matte road and between Simoucheng
and Haicheng. The two divisions of
the late Gen. Keller's corps did not
make serious resistance at the
Yangze pass, falling back on Liandi-
ansian with scarcely any casualties.
Similarity Gen. Stakelberg's and Gen.
Zaroubaieff's troops retired from An
shaushan, half way between Haicheng
ard Liaoyang, without heavy fighting
or loss.
VIC RONiiiiCnt GOSt OOO WE'LL
The greatest number of casualties
was sustained by Gen. Herschelmann,
who with the 9th European division
held Kuchiatzu and Yushu pass, on the
Saimatsze road. The fighting there
was of the most desperate and bloody
character A single regiment lost rs
per cent, Or 500 men, before they with
drew toward Anping. Another point,
where most stubborn resistance was
made was at Manga pass, a position
between Simoucheng and Haicheng,
which was held by Gen. Zassalitch,
who had been placed in command of
newly formed corps, including the 31st
division belonging to the 10th Euro
pean corps and two Siberian battalions,
altogether $4,000 men.
YaIu Disaster Duplicated.
Gen. Zassalitch's misfortune at the
Yalu river was duplicated, owing to
the superiority of the Japanese artil-
lery. He was making a splendid fight
until he suddenly discovered that the
japanese gunners were enfilading his
batteries.
Both Armies Resting.
There has been no further fighting
of any Importance since Aug. 1, ac-
cording to the latest reports received
by the war Office. In the opinion of
the general staff both sides need rest
after fighting three days in the terri
BE heat, and the officials here are in
clined to believe that the Japanese will
not be able to resume their advance
for several days.
May Cut Off Russian Forces.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-War news
from the battle line is exceedingly
meager so far as fresh fighting is con-
cerned, but it is reported that Gen.
Stakelberg's and Gen. Zaroubaieff's
forces have been cut off from Gen. XII
ropatkin's main army and are threat
ened with humiliation. This report
causes great CONSERVATION. 1t is
given credence because it was known
that Stakelberg and Zaroubaieff were
operating south of the main army and
when last heard from were being
fianked by Gen. Nodzu's troops.
