81. IL ENcDQh0, wv. L.. vi
ficiaI reports received by the war de-
partment this morning says the bat
tie was resumed at day-break today,
that the Russians still hold the right
bank OF the Shake River, that the
pressure of the Russian right has
been relieved and that the contest
is continuing on the right where the
Japanese are still trying to break
through the Russian center, evidently
to get possession of the railroad and
cut off the Russian army from Muk-
den Unofficial reports say the Rus
sian losses are very heavy but are
not offering figures. The general
staff SAYS Japanese reports of Rus
sian losses are exaggerated, while
their own are minimized. The feel
ing at the war office Is slightly
brighter as it becomes evident that
the Japanese have not cut off the
Russians and that Kuropatkin is able
to stand like a stone wall. The right
wings of both armies are believed to
be greatly exhausted by their long
sustained efforts. The main fear is
that the unexplained ~quiet of the
Russian left may pressage some stra'
tegical stroke of which Kuropalkin
is not yet apprised.
