JAPANESE AMBUSCADED
Russians Report Having Inflicted Ser1-
Gus Loss in Two Clashes.

Mukden, Dec. 6.-There is a persist
ent rumor that the force of Japanese
sent to turn General Rennenkampf g
flank has been repulsed with great loss.
The story is not yet officially confirmed,
but details are given with great circum-
stantiality.
It is stated that General Rennen-
kampf, who knew the movement was
maturing, awaited the Japanese at the
mouth of one of the passes, and that the
Japanese turning force threw itself un-
suspectingly into the ambuscade, where,
after the fight, the Russians collected
500 Japanese corpses. It is added that
there are 1000 more Japanese corpses
which it had been impossible to collect
owing to the fire of the Japanese. This
does not include the Japanese loss in
wounded. The Russian loss, according
to this account, is only thirty or forty
men. 49,. .~'
