London, Oct. 17.-At the close of the

was still raging, the Russians offering a
stubborn resistance to the fierce on
slaught of the Japanese. The position

Slaughter Is Appalling.

that 10000 Russian dead were left on
the field up to the night Of October IA,
and claim that the japanese losses are
small by comparison with those of the
Russians.
Kuropatkin Hard Pressed.
Gen. Kuropatkin's report to Emperor
Nicholas depicts the desperate character
of the fighting and praises the valor OF
the troops, indicating. however, that he
is hard pressed, with the result still in
the balance. All hope of succoring Port
Arthur this season has been abandoned
st. Petersburg has an unconfirmed re-
port that the japanese Gen, Nodzu has
been seriously wounded.
japanese Guns Captured.

Japanese attacked the corps drawn up
in line at Shakhe, on the great man

fighting began on the right flank with

might force a retreat

"In order to support the troops on the
great mandarin road, several battalions
were rapidly pushed forward. The
troops were thus enabled to take the
offensive, and succeeded in retaking
first positions. Reinforced by reserves,

after stubborn fight we succeeded in re-
occupying Shakhe, repulsing the Japan
csc and driving them back two kilo-
meters from that place.
ION our right wing the position was
for some time very alarming. The
troops were attacked from the front and
by a turning movement on their right
flank. The chief of a detachment ad-
vanced the troops set apart for last
rally, they having attacked the Jap
anese from the flank in their turn. Sew
eral villages were retaken by us. The
right wing maintained its positions on
the line of the Shakhe positions. The
troops on oar center were noticeably adj
vanced in comparison with other troops
in the general position of the line. One
position on our right flank had been
chosen beforehand and partially fortl-
fed Our troops retired from these po-
sitions after stubborn fight.
Troops Tired Out.
"The troops have been fighting for
four days, and many regiments have not
slept for three nights. Nevertheless
have full hope in their capacity to con-
tinue the struggle. The japanese losses
must be very considerable.

ments made by Russian prisoners,
Gen. Kuropatkin was ordered by EN-
peror Nicholas to make stand at
Mukden, and to assume the aggressive
as speedily as possible in order to re-
lieve the Port Arthur garrison. This
order, the prisoners say, reached Muk-
den on September 81 and Gen. Kuro-
patkin, in obedience to 1t, began his
disastrous southern advance move
ment. The prisoners declared that the
war would continue for long time,
because the Russians had decided to
attain final victory, regardless of the
losses which might be involved, as
otherwise defeat would mean a gen.
eral revolution and the disintegration
