RUSSIANS ARE RETREATING
REPORTED AT TOXIC THAT kU
ROPATkiN is AGAIN MOVING
NORTHWARD.

Toxic, Oct. 14.-It is reported that
the Russians are retiring along the
entire front and that the Russian force
at Penhsuhu is probably enveloped.
Eight more guns have been captured
by the Japanese.
Field Marshal Oyama, reporting
from the field Wednesday afternoon,
expresses satisfaction at the progress
of the operations and fighting between
the Taitse and Hun rivers. The cen
ter and right armies made substantial
gains. While the left army was des-
perately struggling to envelop the Rus
sian right Field Marshal Oyama dis
patched two kilograms, the first OF
which said:
"The state of affairs In the direc-
ton of Mukden is as follows;
"On the morning of Oct. II the GEN.
trail column of the right army at 5
O'Clock occupied Lokoulin mountain
and the northern heights of Pacheatzu.
The left column of the right army oc-
cupied the northern heights OF Shao-
takou and continues to pursue the en-
emys central column. The right army
succeeded in occupying Maerh noun
tain. The central army, beginning OPP
erations from midnight Get. IL,
reached the heights extending from
Sanchiatzu to Sankaushih mountain,
on the northwest, and Is probably pur-
suing the enemy. The left army con-
tinues to attack the enemy along the
Schili river and at Lungwangmiao and
Wulichieh since last night, but has not
yet attained its object. AT present.
aided with reinforcements, the left
wing Is trying to envelop the enemy's
right flank by means of rear engage
ment in the direction of Penhsuhu and
the fighting continues. Judging from
the above state of affairs the opera
tions In those directions are proceed
ing favorably toward the attainment
our first object"
The second message is as follows:
In an engagement at midnight on
Oct. IL we captured two field guns and
eight ammunition wagons. Major Gen
eral Murui was wounded and one colo
mel was killed"

FIGHTING SOUTH OF MUkDEN FAR
MORE DESPERATE THAN
AT LIAOYANG.
ST. PETERSBURG HAS NO LATE NEWS
ATMOSPHERE AT RUSSIAN WAR
OFFICE Is BY NO MEANS
CHEERFUL.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

While containing no positive infor-
nation regarding specific results the
days dispatches from both Russian
and Japanese sources seem to indicate
that the tide of the general engage
ment now In progress between the
Hun and Taitse rivers is favorable to
Marshal Oyama.
A Toxic dispatch says the latest re-
ports from the front tell of continued
Japanese successes, while ST. Peters
burg, confessing that no reports of the
days developments have been re-
ceiyed, admits that in the previous
fighting "the Russians had not been
entirely successful in defending their
positions" THE atmosphere at the
war Office" adds the dispatch, lis by
no means cheerful" The lack of ad-
vices from the Russian front is re-
garded as significant.
Oyafna, reporting on Wednesdays
result, expresses satisfaction and says
that his center and right armies made
substantial gains.
The keynote of the battle seems to
be counter attack delivered by
Oyama to Offset Kuropatkin's blow at
the Japanese right AS soon as the
weight of this movement on the part
OF the Russians became apparent the
Japanese commander responded with
an attack in force on his opponents
right. evidently with the hope of crum-
pling Kuropatkin's western columns
back and diverting some strength from
the Russian assault upon his own east
ern position. Concerning this thanking
movement Oyama reports that it lis
progressing favorably toward the at
tainment OF our first object"
Oku reports the capture of twenty
five additional Russian guns, making
q total of thirty that have fallen into
the hands of the Japanese.

LOCKED IN DEATH STRUGGLE
RUSSIAN REPORTS SAY ENGAGE.
MENT so FAR LACKS DE-
clSIvE RESULTS.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 14-The Russian
and Japanese armies wrestling below
Mukden seem now to be definitely
locked in a death struggle for the
mastery. Field Marshal Oyama is
countering General Kuronatkins thrust
at the Japanese right by an advance
against the Russian right. The situa-
tion, on a much larger scale, resem-
bles that of Vafangow, where General
Stakelberg, in essaying to turn the
Japanese right, had his own right
turned. The Japanese assumed the
offensive Wednesday against the Rus
sian right, forcing the latter TO give
ground. But, along the center, stretch.
ing from Yentai station eastward,
where General NodZu also attempted
a desperate counter attack and where
the fighting was hottest, the Russians
held their own. The result at night
fall was a draw. This is the latest
word received by the war office from
Kuropatkin. but, according to the dis
patch of the Associated Press from
Mukden, the Japanese resumed the
offensive again Thursday morning. No
word has come regarding the opera
tionS of the Russian turning move
ment on Oyamas right, on which the
success of Kuropatkin's plan of battle
seems to depend, the war office ex-
planning that reports from this point
had not reached Kuropatkin when he
sent his dispatch and, consequently,
information Is lacking of the opera
tions at the very point where all eyes
center and where the heavy blow was
evidently aimed.
Altogether the latest news is not
completely reassuring. The Novoe
Vremya voices the prevailing senti-
ment, saying:
"Kuropatkin is cautious leader
and it Is taken for granted that he
weighed well the risks before under
taking the wide turning movement. We
probably shall have to wait long and
weary hours before knowing the re-
suits of the all important battle now
begun"

RUSSIANS LOST HEAVILY.
Repeatedly Assault Japanese Trenches
at Point of BayOnst


st. Petersburg Oct. l4.-Priyate dis
patches sent the night OF Oct. Ii from
the headquarters of General Bilder
ling, whose corps occupies the Russian
center, describe the bloody and des.
perate character of the fight along the
railroad north of Yentai station, where
on Monday, the Russians repeatedly
charged the Japanese trenches at the
point of the bayonet, the fight con-
tinuing into the night The Japanese
reserved their fire until the Russians
were almost upon them. An instance
Is given of regiment getting within
few yards of the Japanese trenches,
but recoiling before the murderous
volleys of the Japanese, then coming
on again with reinforcements literally
under shower of shrapnel and finally
succeeding in driving out the Japan
ese. But the Japanese artillery fire
was so withering that the Russians
were unable to remain In the trenches.
That night the Japanese artillery bonn
barded the Russian center, preparing
the way for general counter attack,
which Field Marshal Oyama ordered
for Tuesday The Japanese offensive
extended to their extreme left, Gen
eral Oku's army being for the first
time engaged. At nightfall Tuesday
the Japanese had forced back the Rus
sian right, but the center held fast, al
though few positions had fallen into
the hands of the Japanese.
The latest newspaper reports say
Generals Rennenkampff and Kashta-
linsly encircled the Japanese right,
crossed the Taitse river and came out
on the Fengwangcheng road, the Jap
anese retiring before them.

Commander of Russian Vessel at Port
Arthur Killed.

Chefoo, Oct 14.-Local Russians
confirm the report that the Russian
battleship Retvizan was recently hit
by a shell from one of the big new
Japanese guns, but they claim that the
damage done was slight. Two sailors
were killed. Another she'll burst near
the Russian gunboat Gilisk, killing
her commander and injuring others.
The Russians admit that the new
Japanese guns seriously threaten the
harbor, docks, etc. They believe, how
ever, that the squadron at Port Arthur
will remain inside the harbor until the
arrival of the Baltic feet.
