The main armies of Russia and Ja- gagged in a desperate struggle for su- premacy south of Mukden. On both sides there have been such losses In killed and wounded as mark the con test as one of the bloOdiest battles in history Already the losses at Liao Yang have been approxinlated and the indications are they will be exceeded, that of tbe Russians up to noon of October 14 being esthNated at 14,OOO. The Russian advance has been convert ed into a stubbornly fought retreat The result, according to the Russians, is still to be determined.
 Reports from the Russian left wing are lacking, leaving room for question if that part of Kuropatkin's army Is not in worse extremity than the cen ter and right were at any stage of the battle. On both sides the soldiers have shown the utmost tenacity and bray cry and whole regiments have gone down before the fire of the enemy.
 In official circles of St. Petersburg. there is disposition to argue that ev- en, should General KurOpatkin be oblig- ed to retire upon Mukden, his position will be quite as favorable as it was when the order to advance was given on October 6, and that on the other hand the JapaRese powers of the flu ture resistance will have been mate rially weakened. There is no news from Port Arthur.

RUSSIANS HOLD THEIR OWN.

Mukden, Oct. 1.-The Russian cor respondent of the Associated Press gives the following account Of the bat tie; Up to the present time the hat tie along the whole line has beer. one of varying success. We are now resting. cold and weary, drenched from a heavy thunder storm. which began last evening and continues this morning. We hold the positions captured from the Japanese and are awaiting develop ments on the extreme east
 The fighting on October II was fu- r1ous and continuous along a front so extensive that 1t would be impossible to give details from any one point. Judging from the sound, the heaviest firing took place north of Yentai, where the Japanese themselves assumed the offensive. Nearer the center, it was quieter. We moved forward, occupy ing some of the small passes. It should be pointed out that with such an ex- tensive front it is difficult to say which position constitutes the real center. IL

NEW CAUSE OF COMPLAINT.
The Russians Have Been interfering
 With U. S. Mails.

Washington, Oct 14-It developed today that a pouch containing mail for the United States cruiser Cinein- nati then at Nagasaki. Japan, which was aboard the British steamer Cal chas when that vessel was seized by the Russian yladivostok squadron, had been opened while in the possession of the Russian officials, subsequently, re- sealed and sent on to it's destination.
 This information came to the postof- fee department today in a communi- cation from the Japanese postal ad- ministration, in conformity with a practice always followed when there has been any mishap in the delivery of mail pouches. The matter will be re- ferred to the state department for ac- ton as was done with the case of the ordinary United States mail on the yes sel at the time she was seized.
 This latest phase of the seizure has caused a surprise in official circles. ant if the opening of the pouch addressed to the Cincinnati was willingly done. there is a probability that a second pro test will be lodged with the Russian government It is stated at the navy department that the mail pouch referr- ed to did not contain any official con.- munications, simply mail for the men aboard the ship.

READY FOR THE WORST.
A Feeling of Depression Prevades St.
 Petersburg.

St Petersburg. Oct. 15, 2:3O a. m.- Great feeling of concern. which existed m high circles in the Russian capital tonight by no means equals the fore - boding Of coming disaster prevailing the general public. which is lnduIging m the deepest pessimism. In the ab- sence of official news, the public has been fed on the widest runors of de- feat, suffered by General Kuropatk:n today. The fact that no word regart- ing the tattle has been officially given out only confirms the popular fear. The explanation offered that today was a holiday does not suffice to allay the ap- prehsnsion.
 kuropatkin's report of the result of the days operations has reached Em peror Nicholas at TsarkOe- -SeIo, but it had not been returned here before the war commission, which sat only until 9;39 o'clock, adjourned. The emperor himself is represented as being bitterly disappointed and spending hours with his cabinet, studying out, with the help or his militory aides, the reports of the battle. The general staff, however. by no means despairs. Though admit ting that the tide of the last two days has set against Kuropatkin, the gener-

The Japanese ad- vanced boldly and attacked on the ex- treme right at Yentai and further to- ward the left. All their attacks were repulsed with great loss. We also suf- fered heavily. The conveyance of the wounded to the hospitals was carried on with much difficulty.
