OYAMA is HANDICAPPED.
Placed at Disadvantage by InferiOrity
of His Field Guns.

LONDON, Oct 17.-All reports this
morning agree upon General Kuropat-
kin's defeat in what military critics
consider one of the greatest battles of
modern times, comparable with Konig
gratz and Leipsic. Spencer Wilkinson
considers Marquis Oyama's conduct of
the battle as not marked by the same
distinctness of plan and execution as
that of General Kuropatkin, whose
handling of his army is quite intel
ligible on the assumption that he was
ordered to make the attack.
Belated dispatches arriving in Lon
to some extent bear out this view. For
instance, the Standards correspondent
with General Kuroki's army testifes
that the Russian troops were more
skillfully led and more capable and
resolute than those encountered in the
opening weeks of the campaign. The
same correspondent remarks the grave
disadvantage under which the Japan
ese are laboring, owing to the inferior
ity of their field guns. He refers to
the fighting of October IL. when our
six batteries, though well posted and
admirably handled, were compelled to
remain silent the greater part Of the
day and see the chance of a lifetime
pass by under the very muzzles of
their guns. Effective pursuit was de-
barred us by the superior range of the
Russian artillery"

Los ANGELES, Oct. 16.-With her
thigh fractured and her leg broken
below the knee Jessie Gray, a school
girl aged 19, dragged herself on a

to the village of Lahabra to seek help

Young Seaman and Miss Gray went

Lahabra for the view. In descending
the horse slipped and fell, breaking
the harness and throwing the girl out

MUKDEN, SATURDAY., Oct. 15.-This
morning the Russian right wing took
the aggressive. The Velikiluga regi-
ment led a brilliant attack against the
Japanese positions, all the troops
fighting with the courage and stead
fastness exhibited the first dav of the
battle.
The Japanese had apparently
brought up reserves and were concen-
tratiLg an enormous force against the
Russians. In the evening the Japanese
advanced in overwhelming numbers,
forcing the Russians to retire.
The whole hospital staff is display
ing the greatest courage and fortitude,
working night and day. Many, after
working seemingly to the limit of
human endurance, have gone to the
front to continue their labor under
fire. replacing those incapacitated on
the firing line.
Every road converging on Mukden
is crowded with vehicles, transporting
the wounded, who are being sent north
by wagon road as we'll as by rail. The
result of to-day's fighting is uncertain.

PEACE TALK IN TOXIC.
Belief That Russia Should Now Agree
to Reasonable Terms.

to Reasonable Terms.
TOXIC, Oct. 16, p. m.-There is
strong appeal for peace in the ap-
pslling tragedy which is now under
enactment in Manchuria. Both ar
mics have fought ferociousIy for a
week and desperate lighting continues.
1t is probable that the death roll will
be largely increased before the final
shot is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate
that about so, 1000 men of both sides
have been either killed or wounded
(the larger number of them being
Russians) since the armies of the two
belligerents closed in combat.
Even the Japanese. to whom the
great victory is of paramount i'm
portance, seem to be shocked by the
slaughter of their enemies. The Jap
anese people are receiving the news
from the field of battle calmly, and
there can be heard no shouts in the
streets proclaiming the victory Of their
nation. Few flags are displayed. Prob
ably later on there will be a process
sion with the consequent jollification,
but there are lard many expressions
of opinion that no demonstration of
any kind should be held. A promi-
nent Japanese said to-day:
I'VE have won a sweeping and a
decisive victory, which may prove to
be the salvation of our country's ex
istence; but we regret both our own
losses and the terrible slaughter which
our forces have inflicted on the enemy.
We regret still more the necessity
which forced US to engage in this
war"
A member of the diplomatic corps
said:
Il believe the world will recoiI from
the sickening slaughter of this battle
Every interest of humanity demands
the adjustment of the differences he
tween the two nations and the proc
laratiOn of peace. The situation he
tween the two belligerents is a deli
cate one, but what a splendid tri
umph for diplomacy it would he If
peace could BE- arranged. 1t seems to
me that the question of honor is no
longer involved. If Russia feels that
such a question is involved, surely the
heroic and successful defense of Port
Arthur and the valor shown by Rus
sia's sons on the fields of Manchuria
should forever determine the quality
Of Russian courage. Russia should
remember that the distance dividing
her strength and the limitations Of
her railway are historical factors in
this war. These factors are generaIIv
known. They are appreciated by
everybody and are not looked upon as
faults"

The whole day a cannonade ragged fu-

anese made several Dayonet attacks,
but were repulsed. During one of these
attacks the Japanese killed all the gun

Toward morning the Japanese ceased
their efforts on the Russian right. and

ter. AT 3 o'clock they renewed their
attack on the right and overwhelmed

miles.
At o'clock in the evening the fight

At midnight violent cannonading
began and increased until it attained
the intensity that marked the artillery
duel at Liaoyang on August so and Au-

throughout October IA. not ceasing for

day meal. Under the cover of the ar
tillery fire the Japanese infantry cour-
ageously assumed the offensive against
the Russian intrenched positions. but
their courage was unavailing.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 16.-Un-
der date Of October Is. General Kuro-
patkin sent the following telegram to
the Emperor:
"On the night of October IA large
forces of japanese attacked the corps
drawn up i'm line at Shakhe, on the
great Mandarin road. Several attacks
were repulsed, but the last succeeded
and the corps was broken. At that
moment fighting was begun on the
right flank with a neighbOring sec
ton. The possibility was that, with
the rupture of our center, our whole
formation would be threatened and
that the neighboring troops 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 the village of
Shakhe, reOccupying the first posi-
tions.
Reinforced by reserves, the Jap
anese dislodged us again from the viii
lage of Shakhe. Then the advanced
reserves and troops defending the po-
sition resumed the offensive and after
a stubborn fight we succeeded in re-
occupying Shakhe, repulsing the Jap

"On our right wine 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 detach-
ment advanced the troops set apart
for last rally, they having attacked
the Japanese from the flank in their
turn. Several villages were Tetaken
by us. The right wing maintained it's
positions on the line of the Shakhe po-
sitions. The troops on our center
were noticeably advanced in COM
parison. with other troops in the gen.
eral position of the line. One position
on our right flank had been chosen
beforehand and partially fortified.

APPALLING RUSSIAN LOSSES
Reports Of the great battle continue

striking feature is the terrible record
OF Russian dead. Before the severe
fighting Of October IA General Oku's
army alone buried 2000, making the
total number Of Russians buried by the
japanese with NOdzus army still to
hear from, $500 Applying the usual
calculation and making reasonable al
lowance for the fighting Of the 14th and
18th, the Russian losses exceed AZ, 600.
F'ragmentary reports of japanese cas-
ualties are coming in General Oku up
10 and including October Il lost $500
men Estimates Of the total japanese
losses are not possible, but they are
small in comparison with the frightful
losses Of the Russians
Reports dispatched late yesterday
from the field are in the following
chronological ORDER
The main force Of the right army,
which had already occupied ChOuchia-
fun Heights, reached 4 point on the
Shskhe River but one division of the
enemy continues TO offer a stubborn
resistance. The center army has reach

engaged since the morning Of October
J.. On the morning Of October 15 the
enemy in front Of the left army contin-
ued holding his positions north Of Sha-
hopO and offered a strong resistance.
The center column is engaged in
taking ShahopO and the main body Of
the right column is advancing against
Lamuntun and is attacking that po-
sitiOn. The enemy has six batteries
between ShahOpo and Sugangtai. which
are vigorously shelling the attacking
column and our position at Linchionpo,
