Schili river, reaching to the conclusion
that ali the indications show it was
still in progress during the morning.
The latest reports indicate that the
fighting there is of much larger pro-
portions than was at first supposed.
The battle has now ragged uninterrupt-
edly for three days and nights and the
Russians have been unable to make
further headWay since the check which
they sustained Oct. 10, owing to the de-
termined resistance Of the Japanese.
The latest war Office information
says the fighting is of a most desperate
character. The positions are con-
stantly changing hands, the Russians
infiicting and sustaining heavy losses.
A mention of the Tomsk regiment as
being the worst sufferer indicates that
the Second Siberian division, General
Gavnoff's corps, is engaged.
An official report from General Dan
ieloff, commanding the Sixth Siberian
rifle division, who is wounded, shows
that General Stakelberg's corps is also
in the fight. If the full two corps are
involved about $4,000 Russians are en-
gagged
The late news also confirms the AS
sociated Press dispatches indicating
that kuropatkin is transferring the
weight of his blow to the japanese
right.
The extreme Russian left extends to
the Taitse river, where it bends north
ward, to forty miles above Liaoyang.
Intense public interest is manifested
in the fighting at the front Everybody
is awaiting eagerly news of definite
results.
Tension and some nervousness is
displayed at the war office.

WINNIPEG, MAN, VISITED BY THE
MOST DISASTROUS BLAZE
IN ITS HISTORY.
DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT $780, 600
WALLS FALL IN AND THE RUINS
WILL CONTINUE TO BURN
SEVERAL DAYS.

Winnipeg. Oct. 13.-This city was
visited during the night by the worst
fire in it's history. In two hours two
Of the most important business blocks
were destroyed entailing a loss esti-
mated at $7o0,O0O, with insurance Of
100000. No lives were lost.
The fire originated in the Bullman
block. The flames spread with such
rapidity that at one period it looked
as if the confagration would rival
those of Toronto and Ottawa.
Owing to the fact that there were
chemicals in the Bullman building the
flames were within a few minutes
pouring forth from the top of that
structure. Tongues of fire shot out on
all sides and reached out over to the
immense Ashdown block. The fire
also attacked the Davis block and the
Woodbine hotel. The best the firemen
could do was to endeavor to locaize
the outbreak and this looked well nigh
impossible owing to the rapidity with
which it made its way through the
AshdoWn block and threatened Ban
fields, the Leland hotel and Rialto
block. The Rialto block was badly
damaged by water and heat but the
danger to the other two structures was
ayerted. The walls of the blocks have
all fallen in and, although the firemen
have the fire under control, it will
burn for several days.

WAR DISPATCHES UNMARRIED.

The armies of Kuropatkin and
Oyama are again in battle on ground
which, as far as can be determined
from the days advices from the front,
lies generally to the north and east
Of the scene of the battle Of Liaoyang
Beginning with the Russian blow at
Bentsiaputse on Oct 9 the engagement
spread until both Toxic and st. Peters
burg report that it is raging along the
entire front. So far the results have
not been decisive.
1t is evident that Kuropatkin is
transferring the weight Of his attack
to the Japanese right, which rests on
the Taltse river east OF the Yentai
mines. North of Yentai the fighting is
reported to be of the most desperate
changing hands and the losses on both
sides being heavy.
Toxic reports that the battle ragged
uninterruptedly Tuesday and into the
night and that it is believed there that
the Russian turning movement was
checked. Oyama reports that he is
gaining ground and that the Russian
attack on Siencheng, in the effort to
cut the Japanese communications with
the Yalu river, was repulSed.
At the close of Tuesdays fighting
KurOpatkin reported to the war office
that the Japanese We're offering a stub
born resistance and had even at
vanced their positions.

APPREHENSION INCREASING
ST. PETERSBURG SHOWS NERV-
BUSINESS OVER REPORTS OF
JAPANESE SUCCESSES.

st. Petersburg, Oct 13-It is now
midnight on the battlefield below Muk-
den and the failure to receive news
that the Russians achieved decisive re-
suits in the days fighting north of
Yentai, coupled with the Toxic report
that Field Marshal Oyama is gaining
ground, causes increased apprehension.
The dispatch of the Associated Press
from Toxic was the first positive in
formation that Russian troops in any
force were already across the Taitse
river, although it was already known
here that some cavalry had passed
over the river, but the report that an
other column was attempting to cut
the Japanese line of communication
with the Yalu river did not come as
a surprise, as it was known, although
not revealed for strategic reasons, that
wide turning operations were proceed

ADVANCE THEIR POSITIONS
JAPs OFFER MOST STUBBORN RE.
SISTANcE TO ADVANCING
RUSSIANS.

St. Petersburg, Oct 13.-The battle
below Mukden continues to rage along
the entire front and, according to Gen
eral Kuropatkin's latest advices, sent
after the fighting of the day had ended,
the Japanese were stubbornly holding
their own, Offering desperate resist
ance, and had even advanced their po-
sitions. After an all day fight above
Yentai, where the Russians sustained
their first check, the Japanese still
held that position The infantry prac-
tically was not engaged, the artillery
bearing the brunt of the fighting. The
Japanese stuck to their guns and the
Russian batteries were unable to dis
lodge them.
According to the advices received
by the war office here the Japanese
hold entrenched lines extending in a
semi-circle north of Yentai railroad
: station, enormously reported to have
been captured by the Russians. Thence
they have a series Of arcs covering the
Yentai branch railroad, including the
mines, whence their lines sweep south
eastward toward the Taitse river, thus
enclosing the mountainous region,
forming the triangle of their main po-
sitiOns
Strong FIanking Movement.
General Kuropatkin's right seem.
ingly is carrying out strong flanking
movement eastward, but whether it is
intended to push it home or whether
it is only feint to cover an ultimate
attack against Field Marshal Oyama's
left has not yet developed. The latter
view is held by many officers here, who
believe that Kuropatkin's purpose is
to crumple up the Japanese left, push
them off eastward from the railroad
and then if he can, carry the Japanese
triangle, compel them to retire in the
direction of the Yalu river, thus clear
ing the way through Liaoyang for pos
session OF the railroad southwark and
possibly enabling Kuropatkin to re-
lieve Port Arthur, which, as an
nOunced in the Russian generals order
of the day, is his main objective. Still
the best informed members of the gen
eral staff are inclined to think that the
strategy of the battle must depend on
the manner in which the engagement
develops. It is pointed out that in the
event of defeat, which Kuropatkin
must constantly bear in mind since
the Japanese then will doubtless try
to push through straight to Tie pass,
it will be necessary for him to keep
his heaviest battalions east.

There was a desperate struggle in
the neighborhood of Bensihu, where
the Russians crossed the Taitse river
and where the Japanese endeavored
to entrap the invaders.
The Psenchuang garrison vigorously
attacked and repulsed the Russians,
possibly relieving the pressure on the
japanese line OF communications.

A brigade of Russian infantry, with

The Japanese cut off the retreat of this
force and possibly will capture it.
The Russians are attacking Sien-
