General oku Reports That His Men
Are Forcing Russians Backward.
A dispatch received from General
Oku's left army says that since Sum
day last the Japanese left army has
buried 4.1OO Russian dead. 1t Is esti.
mated that the Russian casualties
are from 10000 to $4,000. The Jap
anese report their casualties at about
5000.
EARLY Wednesday morning the Jap.
anese continued to advance, driving
the Russians before them, and cap.
turing two guns and many rifles. The
Russians attempted to recapture
Lamuting. but were repulsed with
heavy loss. The battle there is over.
The way to Mukden is apparently
open. The last remnant of the Rus.

tai are being driven out Of their posi-
ton by a heavy shell fire. The Rus
SLAMS appear to have been utterly de.
feated, at least on the right flank.
They are retiring hastily, and 1t Is
hardly likely that they will make an
other stand south Of Mukden. unless
along the Hun river.

LOSSES DURING BATTLE.
Never Less Than 1000 Per Day in
Ten Days Fight.

never Less Tnan 2Uuu FER Oay IN
Ten Days Fight.
The fighting of October II was con.
fined to the Russian center at Shakhe
river and was mostly artillery fire, the
Japanese using big guns and high ex.
plosive shells. During the nine days
of continuous fighting the losses were
never less than 1000 per day. The
hospitals are hardly able to handle the
wounded. Nevertheless they have
performed wonders.
The Chinese have deserted all the
villages and the troops are using the
woodwork of their houses for fuel.
The country south is desolated. The
Japanese still seem to be exerting
themselves to force the Russians out
of Mukden. A battle is assured in the
positions surrounding the town.

Citizens Of st. Petersburg Expect
Great Things From kuropatkin.

Citizens Of St. Petersburg Expect
Great Things From kuropatkin.
There is jubilation throughout the
city of st. Petersburg over the news
that General Kuropatkin has resumed
the offensive, and the holiday which
began with little heart closed
brighter.
Correspondents at the front the
past forty-eight hours had been hint
ing that the Russian army was on
the eve of another advance, but it was
thought in st. Petersburg that the
troops were too exhausted by more
than week of gigantic struggle to
engage in an immediate advance
movement. Therefore the news of the
definite resumption of the advance
WIS calculated to arouse the greater
satisfaction, but the realization of the
significance Of news permeates the
masses more slowly than in American
cities.
