WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED

No direct word has come from the
Manchurian battlefield during the day,
but the dispatches leave little doubt
that the Russians and Japanese are
continuing the fighting that has ragged
desperately for ten days.
Marshal Oyama reports that during
the night two fierce assaults were
made on his left army and several
lighter attacks on other portions Of
his line, all of which were repulsed,
while St. Petersburg says that heavy
cannonading continued throughout the
night, presaging important move.
ments.
Beyond the fact that the great battle
has gone against the Russians and
that there have been detached engage
mentS almost unrivalled in their
bravery and desperateness on both
sides, no new light is thrown on the
general situation.
st. Petersburg officials stoutly main
tain that Kuropatkln, far from being
whipped into disorderly rout, is fight
ing a mastery retreating battle and,
While he has been defeated, he is com
pelling the Japanese to purchase the
victory at a cost of men and muni
tions that is exhausting.
A dispatch from Mukden says that it
is cold, that a cutting wind is blowing
and that the roads have been ruined
by the rains.
A dispatch from Toxic confirms the
report that the Russians on Sunday
broke through an advanced column and
captured fourteen guns. The dispatch
adds that the Russians are cOncentrat-

WOULD MEET REBUFF
RUSSIA IN. NO MOOD TO LISTEN
TO TALK OF MEDIATION IN
THE FAR EAST.
PROPOSAL CONSIDERED INOPPORTUNE
SUGGESTION FROM WASHINGTON
ARoUsEs RESENTMENT AT
ST. PETERSBURG.
PROPOSAL CONSIDERED INopPORTUAE

st. Petersburg, Oct 19.-An an
nouncement from Washington saying
that the administration believed that
the time for mediation in the Far East
ern war was approaching has created
an unfavorable impression in govern
ment circles here, where there is an
inclination to associate it with the in
terview of the Associated Press with a
diplomat at Toxic suggesting the pro-
priety of renewing the EFFORTS in behalf
OF the restoration of peace. The idea
of peace, it is asserted here, could
hardly come more inopportunely, with
the Japanese in the full flush of vic
tory. 1t has aroused only resentment
and there is no doubt that if President
Roosevelt should actually attempt to
open the question at this time he would
meet with rebuff.
An official of the foreign office with
whom the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press talked declined to believe
that the United States seriously con-
templated rendering her good offices
at this time. He could not believe
there could exist at Washington the
opinion that such overtureS would be
entertainable unless Japan had direct
ly indicated wish to end the struggle.
That Japan would be glad to make
peace under the present favorable con-
ditions he did not doubt, but Russia
was by no means ready.
'All the powers fully understand
Russia's position, said he. "It has
been made quite clear. Russia, as the
emperor announced, will make peace
direct with Japan. No Intervention of
an outside power can be tolerated. If
Japan desires to end the war she must
apply direct through such mediary as
she may choose, the United States if
she prefers, but no representations
not coming directly from Toxic would
even be answered. # she has any
propositions to submit, however, they
would of course receive the considera-
tiOn to which they are entitled"

BATTLE STILL UNDECIDED
RUSSIANS HOPE KUROPATkIN'S
ARMY MAY AGAIN RESUME
THE OFFENSIVE.

st. Petersburg, Oct 19-The issue
of the bloody drama below Mukden is
still in the balance. There is no at
tempt to minimize the severe charae-
ter of the reverse suffered by General
Kuropatkin last week, but as yet there
has been nothing absolutely decisive
There certainly is no rout and no Sc
dan and the war Office has not yet
given up all hope that Kuropatkin may
be able to again resume genuine Of
fensive. 1t is asserted here that the
tone which the diplomats and news
papers of Toxic assumed in referring
to what they seem to look upon as the
closing act of the tragedy of General
KurOpatkin's army is certainly pre-
mature. Both armies are greatly ex-
hausted and the final issues probably
will depend on which can regather it.
self the quickest. The Russian legions
are terribly battered and more or less
demoralized, but the splendid manner
in which they went forward against
Lone Tree hill Sunday is sufficient evil
dence that the temper and courage of
the troops are not completely shaken.
The emperor has received KurOpat-
kin's and Sakharoff's reports of the
Russian attack upon and capture of
the village of Shalandtzy, half way
between Lone Tree hill and Shakhe,
and simultaneously the storming of
the former, thereby gaining two posi-
tions of the highest Importance on the
south bank of the Shakhe river.
Attempt to Cut Railway Fails.
There was no fighting on the Rus
sian left Monday and the Japanese op-
erations on the extreme right, evil
dently intended to cut the railroad be-
low the Hun river, have failed, the
Japanese being unable to get beyond
Sinchinpu, two miles west of the
Shakhe railroad station. Field Mar
shall Oyanla seems to be massing
troops against the Russian center and
the war office here expects that he will
make desperate effort to retake the
two vital positions.
The general staff believes that the
storming of Lone Tree hill, for valor
and slaughter, will occupy a place by
itself in military annals. Kuropatkin,
under whose eye the assault was made,
rechristened it Poulitoff hill in honor
of the man who led the attack at the
head of the Second brigade of the East
Siberian rife division and who was
subsequently decorated on the field
with the st. Georges cross. The hill
is a precipitous, rocky height and al
though the Japanese had occupied it
only short time they had thrown up
very strong defenses. The river run
ming at it's foot increased the difficulty
OF the task, Tut it was scaled and car
tied successfully agc nst the unprece-
tented opposition of a Japanese divi-
sion, $4,000 men, with many guns. The
Russian losses were terrible The
fighting on the crest of the hill was
altogether with cold steel. The Rus
sian officers, with swords aloft, lead
ing the scaling column, were literally
lifted in the air by the Japanese bay
onets and the Japanese then bay
onetted the first of the Russian sol
diers who piled in the trenches. All
the dead In the trenches were bay
onetted, their weapons bearing marks
of the dreadful combat.

BATTLE RACED ALL DAY.
Russian Correspondent Describes Cap
ture of Lone Tree Hill.


ture Of Lone Tree Hill.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 19.-M emirovich
Danchenko, the well known Russian
war correspondent, telegraphs a de-
scription of the recapture of Lone Tree
hill, which fell into the hands of the
Japanese during night attack while
the Russians slept. lie says:
Gene al kuropatAin the following
day ordered the hill to be taken and
the whole Russian artillery concen-
trated at 5 o'clock in the morning
shoWered the hill with projectiles,
the awful spectacle lasting the entire
day. 1t seemed that no human being
could outliye such an ordeal, yet the
defenders remained manfully at their
posts.
sThe sun was already declining
when Kuropatkin gave the order to
storm. Six regiments advanced, ford
ing the river in the face of surder-
Gus fire. The enemy determined to
make us pay dearly for it. He poured
a hail Of gun and rifle fire on our ad
vancing columns, but nothing could
stop them. They reached the other
side, clambered up and at II o'clock
at night the position was in our hands.
I have just visited the scene OF our
triumph The trenches are filled with
dead Japanese and Russians clutched
in a death embrace. 1 saw no such
CHASTITY sight at Shipka or Plevna. 4'he
credit for the achievement belongs
chiefly to the Thirty-sixth and Nine
teenth rifles. Pulieff, leading the
brigade and personally directing the
attack, was the first to reach the sum-
nit and in the thick Of the tiefcest
fighting around the Japanese guns.
The Japanese gunners died at their
guns.
'Kuropatkin personally thanked the
heroes for their gallant exploit. The
captured guns were brought to Muk-t
den."

Great Britain of an indemnity of $3,-
