LONDON, Oct J9.-A special from 1 Hukden says that Lone Tree hill, won 1 ,y the Russians after. desperate 1 struggle, has been tho object of gal l ant but unsuccessful attempt at re- capture by the Japanese. Tn spite of l he awful slaughter with which they lad been driven from the hill the Jap lnese returned to the charge during the night, recognizing that the hill was .he key to the position on the south i vest front. Nine regiments partici- 1 ,ated, creeping up through the dark ness and delivering d furious assault ] It dawn. But the hill had been bought E:oo dearly by the Russians to relin- lnish it, and the Japanese were driven back with terrible slaughter. 1 A Mukden dispatch, dated this morn ng, says that the Russian army is ad- i gancing, but rain is hindering every hing. The rivers are bank full and l he lords are impossible. There are no bridges. Supplies of, all sorts are de i ayed.
 Cossacks have brought in captured guns and Japanese wounded prisoners. { Russian soldiers surrounded the prison srs and gave them bread and water \ ind in other ways tried to relieve their wants. < News has just been received that the Japanese left flank has been driven pack with heavy loss and it's retreat :ut off. A Russian regiment is now be- ng hurried to the scene in the hope of completing the rout.
 i It is reported that General Mischt- Ichenko's CossacEs, under command of AdjItant Gavrifoff, are engaged in a not fight toward the southeast. A Cos sack horse battery silenced the Japa- 1ese guns and drove back several in santrys batallions, but were unable to capture the guns, which the Japanese succeeded in carrying off. | Shakhe station, or what is left of it, has been recaptured by the Russians, who will shortly reopen it for railway raffic with Mukden.
 i The battlefield of Lone Tree hill pre- tents the most awful spectacle that can De conceived. Russian and Japanese lead are mingled in heaps in inex- tricable confusion The ground is ,trewn with broken rifles that had been ynlashed in hand to hand fighting Ev- srything seems to have been utilized as weapons.
 Tokyo advices say that the Russians lave iercely, assaulted General Oku md attacked Generals Nodzu and Ku- 'oki, but were everywhere repulsed with heavy losses.
 The Russians enyeloped Colonel Ya- nada's column and captured fourteen guns.
 The Russians are now concentrating n front of the left army under Gen ral Kuroki and the center army under General Nodzu. Another great battle $ expected.
 General Kuropatkin remains with .he troops, having abandoned his neadQuarters at Mukden.
 A dispatch to the Japanese legation from Tokyo, giving details of the en- relopment of General Yamada's col ann, says:
 .sThe column was proceeding to re enforce detachment of our left army which was attacking the enemy north of Shakhe It defeated the enemy near Weichialoutz, captured two guns and two ammunition wagons and was re- turning to it's original position when suddenly it was enveloped by about division of the enemy.
 Tt succeeded in breaking through and regaining it's original position. The artillery, however, was lost, with most of the horses and men, We were compelled to abandon nine field guns and five mountain guns
 HThe enemy in front of our central position has been re-enforced.
 "Our casualties on Sunday last were about 1,0Q0."
 The Russians appear to hold posi- tions in the plain along the Shakhe river, extending from the railway to Da pass, beginning at the mountains. ' After threatening day the Japanese toward night rushed the village of Linchenpo, on the north bank of the Shakhe river and west of the railway, precipitating laundering cannonade and fusillade. which continued until midnight, the rifle fire continuing until dawn. The Japanese now occupy the raised temple quadrangle near Iin- chenpo.
 A dispatch from Shanghai says that Japanese shells have sunk the Russian cruiser Bayan in the harbor of Port Arthur.
