JAPS TAKE DA PASS
CAPTURE STRATEGIC POSITION
FORTY-FlVE MILES SOUTH.
EAST OF MUKDEN.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-News has
been received here from Mukden to
the effect that the Japanese have at
last begun the offensive. They have
captured Da pass and are pressing on
General Kuropatkin's left flank. The
wal Office is unable to confirm this Off.
cially because Kuropatkin's dispatches
are following the emperor, but the
Associated Press is informed by the
general staff that all indications point
to the news being correct. It is be-
lieved the Russians abandoned Da
pass without serious resistance. Sew
eral other passes of the Da range,
eastward of Bentsiaputze Twenty
miles southeast of Mukden), are also
in the hands Of the japanese.
Kuropatkin is evidently drawing in
his forces to the less mountainous
country northwestward, where he may
decide to give battle. In the mean
while sharp fighting is regarded as i'm
minent southeast of Mukden, whence
the Japanese are expected to deliver
their main attack, the flank move
ment from the west being OF secondary
Importance.

army and the abrupt resumption Of
the offensive by Field Marshal Oyama' S

Instead of advancing with their GUS

and in less than twenty minutes the
entire Russian front was raked by a
heavy cross fire. Several Cossack
horse batteries were dismantled be-

Severe Fighting At Port Arthur.

Mukden, Oct. 4.-Rumors that Cen
eral Kuroki has evaded General Ran
nenkampff and slipped around the
Russian left alarm army officers hare
and tend to disconcert General Kuro-
patkin's pivotal move to swing his left
north and his right south. General
Rennenkampff, at the head of his own
Cossacks and another strong detach-
ment, has been responsible for Kuro-
ki's whereabouts for several days, but
in forty-eight hours has not been able
to trace the Japanese right.
When Rennenkampff left Peosihu
after his famous raid Marshal Oyama's
three armies on the right, under Gen.
eral Kuroki, were forcing on Bent
sianputze from Sienchan and two 9TH
er points. Scouting parties from the
Cossack generals column in the past
two days reported the Japanese were
not in any OF the three positions occu-
pied by the enemy recently and that
the brigades stationed in and about
Bentsianputze were those of Kuroki's
rear instead Of his vanguard. Those
reports led to the belief that kurOkl
has crossed the Hun at least forty
miles east of Mukden and is inclining
toward the Peninsular railway from
northeast of this place.
