ARMY IS
CUT OFF
Unexpected Russian
treat Saves Japanese
Army at BenSihu.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The greatest ad-
miration is expressed by the London
newspapers to-day for the tenacity dis
played by General Kuropatkin in pro-
tecting his retreat, but nowhere is the
idea entertained that the Russians
late success on the Shakhe can change
the broad character of their defeat or
have any effect beyond slightly re-
tarding the Japanese advance to Muk-
den and probably to Harbin, since the
Japanese appear to be fully prepared
for a winter campaign.
The Standards correspondent with
General Kuroki, telegraphing under
date of October Is, says:
"Kuroki, as usual, has borne the
brunt of the struggle and sustained a
majority of the casualties. We are
now occupying the line of the Shakhe,
with outposts near Mukden. The Rus
slams lost the initiative on the second
day of the battle, when the Japanese
repelled their infantry and assumed a
vigorous offensive movement. For a
time the situation at Bensihu was ex-
tremely critical, the Japanese being
practically surrounded. Eventually,
however, the Russians fed, leaving
eighteen dead on the field. We are now
pressing the enemy from the railway
into the mountains"

OVama Will Not Give
Russian Army Time
to Recover.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TOXIC, Oct. 17.-According to au-
thorites here who are cognizant of
the resolutions of the Imperial Mill
tary Council, it has been practically
settled, in view of the operations on
the Shakhe River that after reorgani-
zation Oyama shall continue his ad-
vance and in all probability deliver
counter attack to that on Oku's front.
There were fragmental engagements
on Kuroki's front all yesterday and to-
day. The situation in front Of Nodzu
was reported unchanged up to last
night The Russians delivered seven
counter attacks on Oku's left army,
all of which were repulsed with heavy
losses.
In front of Oku's army Russian
corpses lie in windrows to the num-
Der of 1000.
The number of Russian troops en-
gagged at the Shakhe River is about
226,000, consisting of 100000 infantry,
$4,000 cavalry and $50 guns.
1t is generally believed here that the
fate of Port Arthur will be settled with
in a fortnight.
1t is reported here that Major Taxa
shima's battalion captured fourteen
guns at Sairchiatzu on October 16 This
makes total of thirty-four guns cap

Further Mobilization of Troops Fol-
lows the Shakhe Defeat.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 17.-De-
spite the staggering blow Kuropatkin
has received, the Government is de-
termined to continue the war. The
Car is uncompromisingly militant and
finds none among his official advisers
to counsel peace. Further mobiIiza-
ton, the accumulation of additional
provisions and general straining to-
ward still more heroic efforts are the
facts that greet the observer in the
midst of the confused babble of the
salons.
1t is obvious that the deepest minds
in the country regard the outlook as
desperate. They assert that the Man
churisn campaign, barring the retreat
from Liaoyang (Which, after all, was
a negative achievement) has been ut
terly disappointing. That Russia is
reaping what she sowed is the verdict
of critics both impartial and compe-
tent
we have robbed ourselves of that
priceless quality-initiative," said an
old general to-day. IF we had not
done this the crisis might have found
us fertile instead Of barren. We might
have produced such fighting men as
America threw to the top in the civil
war; such conquerors as so often led
the Russians against the Turks"

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. IS, 3:15

Russian standpoint. The situation is
still regarded as being critical, but
General Kuropatkin is apparently hold
ing the Japanese firmly on his center
and right wing, even having re-
crossed the Shakhe River, and while
there are rumors of extensive Japanese
fianking movements, both on the west
and on the east, there is no evidence
that they are actually occurring.
General Kuropatkin S left has been
heard from. The press has the first
connected report of the four days
fighting from the front Of Tumen and
Saitchoun passes, resulting in the final
withdrawal of the strong Russian col

Japanese right. though General Mist

GENERAL LEADS ATTACK.

AT night an order came to renew the
attack. General Kendratovitch led at
the front and again the Russians began
to scale the rugged heights.
The Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth
regiments fell under a whitening fire.
The men were scarcely able to breathe
as they clambered up the steep slopes,
but they hung to the rocks and re-
turned the fire that was poured down
upon them. Then they scrambled for
ward again.
The Thirty-fourth Regiment was first
to reach the trenches, going with the
bayonet at the Japanese, who fought
with dubbed guns, swords, bayonets
and revolvers. 1t was an indescribable
melee.
The Russian reserves were ordered up
to support the gallant Thirty-fourth
and, aided by the Thirty-sixth, the
Russians carried two lines of trenches,
after which the men lay down, dead
tired, in the Japanese shelters till
dawn. Then it was discovered that
while the attacking forces were about
on a level with the passes themselves,
they were only half way up the
heights, which were commanded by
the japanese positions. In these cir
cumstances the Russians were forced
to withdraw.
While this attack was going on the
Russian right also carried several
heights occupied by the Japanese after
a fierce resistance. The Japanese then
resumed the offensive, rushing for
ward in a great wave, but falling to
dislodge the Russians from the posi-
ton they had gained.
LITTLE PROGRESS MADE.
On the morning of October II the
Russian batteries again signaled the
beginning of another days fighting.
One battery silenced some Japanese
guns and then another battery opened
on the Russians, but a concentrated
volley smothered that fire. Then the
Russian infantry advanced to the at
tack and the fight became general The
left was heavily engaged. Tumen Pass
was turned by detachments of the
Third, Thirty-third and Thirty-second
regiments. More Japanese batteries
appeared on the heights. One of these,
particularly annoying, was located by
Captain Michaelis, whose guns, getting
the range, literally blew it to pieces.
From the Russian positions logs which
formed the protective works for the
Japanese guns could be seen to be
thrown high in the air by exploding
shells.
The whole day passed without max
ing much headway and the Russian
troops were again forced to seek the
shelter of the rocky slopes. there to
wait until nightfall, when fresh as
sault was planned.
VICTORY PROVES BARREN.
The order came to advance at mid
night, but the Japanese themselves at
tackled at 10 o'clock They fought stub
bornly, but were driven back The
Russians followed up the advantage
and occupied the pass. Meantime, in
the darkness, the Russians got nearly
all the commanding heights. including
two conical hills, besides the pass, but
there was still one height at the left
of the pass which had not been taken
and at dawn the Russians were again
forced to retire, as the Japanese bat
teries commanded the ground the Rus
slams had so hardly won.
The next day the Russians again ad-
vanced, assaulting the main pass. Dur.

BATTERIES OPEN FIRE.

The battle began at $50 o'clock in
the morning of October IL. The bate
ries on the right flank opened on three
Japanese batteries to the right OF the
pass Saitchoun Pass is a double pass,
the main defense being to the left,
overtopped by high, rocky mountains
while to the right are rocky ridges
General Gerngrosse's corps was as
signed to capture the passes by frontal
attack and the remainder of the Rus
sian troops were to turn the japanese
position and take them on the flank
and rear. The Russian right advance
was commanded by its chief OF dIvl-
sion, while General KendratOvitch, who
was continually with the troops at the
front, commanded the left.
The first assault was set for noon
and the Russian batteries pounded the
Japanese position, searching out their
guns. Wherever possible the Russians
artillery was rapidly followed up by
the infantry advance, the cannon fire
being continued first on one and then
on another of the eminenees which were
scanned with Japanese trenches from
base to summit.
The roar and crash of artillery and
the rattle of voIley fire were deafening.
The Japanese defended desperately
Their positions were so steep that the
attacking Russians could make no pro-
gress in the face of a murderous Ire
from the Japanese. Whole advance
companies lay down, hugging the
ground until evening and repulsing sal
lies by the Japanese from their
frop0baq

HEADQUARTERS OF THE RUS
SIAN FLANKING COLUMN ON THE
LEFT, Friday, Oct. 14.-On October TO-
when the Russian advance guard ap-
peared before Saitchoun Pass, its east
ern detachment occupied a correspond
ing position before Tumen Pass. Dur
ing the night the Russian signal corps
intercepted a fiashlight message show
ing the Japanese artillery was to shell
several Russian positions where bat
teries were posted at dawn The Rus
sian batteries, therefore, shifted their
positions during the night and in the
morning the Japanese furiously DOM
barded the enemy's ground.
On the morning of October II the
Russian fighting line consisted OF four
regiments Of the East Siberian Rifles
ON the right flank and the Third, Thir-
ty-third and Thirty-fourth on the left
The right was supported by two bat
teries of the Eighteenth East Siberian
Brigade and one of the Ninth East
Siberian Brigade. One battery occu-
pied the center and three were on the
right.

VICTORY PROVES BARREN.

The four days fight of the Eastern
column was of the same desperate
character that marked the operations
of the center and right wings. A heavy
Russian column, under such leaders as
Ivanoff, Rennenkampff, Carngross and
Kondratovitch, repeatedly assaulted
strongly entrenched Japanese positions
on heights commanding the passes. The
assaults were largely night work. The
cannonading was so powerful that it
was impossible to advance in the light
of day Finally, on October 13, when
the passes had been actually occupied.
came the order to withdraw, probably
owing to a critical position at other
parts of the front. Here the story of
the operations of the eastern wing Of
the western army ends.
General Grippenberg, who has ar
rived at ST. Petersburg, will go to the
front ten days hence to assume the
command of the Second Manchurian
army.
