 The full text of General Kuropatkin's report, which Is dated October lS, and addressed to the emperor, is as fol- lows:
 Last night and throughout to-day the Manchurian army was engaged in Ia fierce fight. The Japanese concen- trated a great force against our dispo- sitions on the center and right wings. We carried on the fight from advanc- ed positions, and it became necessary { to support these advanced guards from the main position. The right wing held it's advance position and only at nightfall under my orders, retired to the principal position In the center the troops were forced to retire from the advance to the main position about 2 p. m.
 . According to reports and by own ob- servations the fighting was most des- perate. We repulsed numerous Jap- anese attacks and ourselves assumed the offensive. The heroic defence of it's advance position by the Tomsk regi- ment is especially deserving of men | tion.
 During the night our troops on the fright flank recaptured at the point of the bayonet a village which had been lost the previous evening. On the left flank severe fighting for the possession of a pass has been continued. Our troops scaled almost inaccessible rocks and held their ground for two days, gradually approaching the enemy.
 T have not yet received a report of the result of to-day's fight on the left wing. Under the conditions of the ! fighting the losses are necessarily con siderable I have ordered that the po- Esitions we now hold be stubborn1y de- Ifended tomorrow"
