The right army succeeded in occupying

troops at Port Arthur, telegraphs that
the Russians recently recaptured Signal
Hill. He adds that the Japanese are
bombarding the interior Of the fortress
with new batteries and that the bonn
bardment is becoming more and more
violent. General Stoessel's report to
the Emperor, which is dated October ..
is as follows:
THE Japanese, having increased the
number of their guns against the north
front. commenced an approach against
that section of the fortress on the night
of October 1, but were stopped by vol
leys. The japanese then directed their
attack on the extreme right, assailing
Signal Hill, which is situated near the
sea, and commenced an attack from
Siaku Hill. Having repulsed our sharp
shooters, the Japanese occupied Signal
Hill. At daylight Signal Hill was
shelled by Russian artillery, after
which our companies drove off the Jap
anese and reoccupied the position.
THE Japanese are using explosives
inclosed in boxes and provided with
Bickford fuses, which they throw like
hand grenades. Our army is employing
similar weapons
Our interchangeable hero, Kondra-
tenko, is continually inventing fresh
means Of striking the enemy. The
troops continue showing heroism, the
wounded returning to the ranks with
great ardor."
Under date Of October Z, General
StoesseI reports as follows:
1.-The Japanese have organized fresh
batteries to lombard the inner fortress.
One of these batteries is composed Of
eleven-inch mortars. The lombard
ment is becoming more violent every
day The enemy has received rein
forcements of several battaions. The
weather is cold. The spirit Of the troops

Cars Soldiers No Match for the ISL

LONDON, Oct 14.-The Standards
correspondent in the field with General
Kuroki, telegraphing on October II,
says:
after two days heavy fighting the
enemys resistance was broken this
afternoon and the Russians are now in
full retreat"
Describing a fight for rock sur
mounted by a picturesque temple, the
correspondent says:
AT times it was a hand-to-hand con-
fiict. The Russians fought hard and
desperately, but were no match for the
Japanese infantry. On the other hand
we suffered disadvantage. Our guns
were out of range and were constantly
reduced to silence for the greater part
of the day. A timely mist enabled the
Japanese to draw near. comparatively
without damage, to the hills of the
Russian position and from which the
Russians were forced to withdraw.
Their retirement was very leisurely,
and the guns in particular remained
on the ground longer than seemed
safe
The Daily Mails Toxic correspondent
asserts that the pursuit by the Japan
csc is working great havoc to the dis
spirited Russians, who left their dead
and wounded on the field. The Rus
sian forces are estimated at 200, 900,
with 1000 guns, and the correspondent
says the fighting was the most severe
and terrible of the whole war.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. ia dis

1.-The fight opened to-day before

ing now for the front. The Russian
troops on Tuesday occupied Yentai
Station, but the Japanese continued to
hold the Yentai mines, though a furi-
Gus fight had been in progress there
all day long. The Russians also cap
tured Benshiu after severe fighting and
thus found themselves in an important
position on the Japanese flank.
There are many contradictory re-
ports of the general results of Tues
days engagement af1oat in Mukden,
and it is hard to arrive at an actual
conclusion. 1t is not even known, on
the whole, whether the Japanese or
the Russians are gaining the most

THE Manchurian army on October

miles south of the Shakhe River.
"At about O'Clock in the morning
of October 10 the enemy took the Of
fensive between the Mandarin road and
the village of Toumytsa, north of Yen

and several batteries or artillery. The
enemy's attack was checked by the fire
of our advance guards. They main
tanned an artillery bombardment until
the evening.
ION October II the Japanese attack
ed the Russians on both sides of the
railroad and north of the Yentai mines.
A fierce fight ragged all day long and
by night the greater portion of the
position occupied by the Japanese in
Khona Pass had fallen into the hands
of the Russians, who, however, at 8
o'clock in the evening had not yet sue
ceeded in capturing a wooded hill con-
stituting the key to rne position.
Throughout October IL the Russians
maintained the offensive along the en-
tire front against the Japanese ad-
vanced positions, except at some points
where they were obliged to retire to
their main positions"
