A SEE-SAW CONFLICT.
Japs Check Advance of Russians, But
They Come Again--6Ioody Bat
tIe Is Progressing.

An Associated Press dispatch of
Tuesday from Mukden was as follows:
IA bloody battle Is raging six miles
north Of Yentai railroadi station. The
Japanese on Sunday fell back along
the whole Of the north front and tho
Russian advance guards crossed the
Schili river (about half way between
Mukden and LiaoYang) and came
within three miles Of Yentai.
Yesterday, however, the Japanese
received strong reinforcements of in,
fantry and artillery and not only held
their positions, but even assumed the
offensive. The fighting lasted the en-
tire day and night. the Japanese dl,
rected their artillery fire with great
skill and searched the Russian posi-.
tions SO fiercely that The Russians fell
back north of the Schili river, which
crosses the railroad seven miles from
Yentai
"The Russians this morning rcsum-
cd their advance, once more crossing
the Schili river and engaged the Jap.
anese two miles south of it. a terrific
artillery engagement is proceeding
along the entire front. The result Of
the battle is still undecided"

Apprehension in ST. PETERSBURG.

a st. Petersburg special Of Thurs
day says: The failure to receive
news that the Russians achieved de-
cisive results in Wednesdays fight
north Of Yentai, coupled with the To-
kio report that Field Marshal Oyama
is gaining ground causes increased
apprehension.
The dispatch of the Associated
Press from Toxic was the first posi-
tive information that Russian troops
in any force were already across the
Taitse river, although il was already
known 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 irasuns-
that wide turning operations were
proceeding on the Russian extreme

The frontal attack on the Yentai
mines developed a desperate battle.

gagged; but though the dispatches so
far deal almost exclusively with this
feature of the battle, it is pointed out
that there is a much wider field In

He said Judge DAILY had the day be.

His statement was minute and occu-

the alleged failure to coucoct plan OF
