The shock of the explosion could be

AS SEEN BY RUSSIANS.
Report from Mukden Tells of the
Heroic Fighting Going On.

Neport from Mukden Tells of the
Heroic Fighting Going On.
Mukden, Oct. Is delayed in rams
mission) The blow directed by the
Japanese against the Russian center
on Oct. IL was heroically repulsed by
the troops of Gems. Zaroubaieff and
Miyendorff.
The night attack against the Novot-
cherkask Regiment and the lack OF
success attending it forced the Japa-
hsse on Oct. IL to transfer the weight
OF their attack to the Russian right
nank. The whole day a cannonade
ragged furiously, under cover of which
the Japanese made several bayonet at
tacks, but were repulsed.
During one of these attacks the Jap
ahese killed all the gunners of one bat
terry and the guns were left In the
trenches. An attempt to retake these
suns was only partially successful. To-
wards morning the Japanese ceased
tnelr efforts on the Russian right. and

OF Czar's Men.
Mukden, Oct. Is. 1925 p. m.-Shakhe
is again in the hands of the Russians.
After the last evacuation of the village
by the Russians, the Japanese failed
in an attempt to reoccupy it, and now
the village is held by Russian infantry.
There is every indication that the
Russian right flank is about to resume
the offensive and reoccupy the positions
held by them on Oct. 10 and IL.
The Japanese resistance is growing
weaker and they are apparently prepar-
ing to evacuate. Towards the east and
center the Japanese are more stubborn
and are showing more resistance. Some
of the positions on the fighting line
have already changed Hands ten times.
1t is impossible to say how long the
contest will continue before one side
or the other is worn out,
AS this dispatch is being finished,
the sound of increasing cannonading
from the center indicates that some
thing unusual is happening. The cor

AT LAST ST. PETERSBURG
= ADMITS DEFEAT.

st. Petersburg Oct. II, 3:45 a. NJ
The official veil was to-day lifted from
the CHASTITY tragedy around Shakhe,
but even the official account, supple
mented by numerous press dispatches,
leaves much uncertainty as to the sit
uation.
Out of the fragmentary mass of in
formation at hand it is possible only
to conclude that the costly withdrawal
and retreat from Lao Yang is being
duplicated upon an even grander scale,
after more desperate fighting and
heavier losses.
