Fighting Near Mukden Continues
the Carnage Being Frightful.
AT the close Of the seventh con
secutive day Of fighting between
Mukden and Liao Yang the battle
was still raging, the Russians Of
fering a stubborn resistance to the
fierce onslaughts Of the Japanese.
The sacrifice of life has been ap.
palIing. Estimates Of the Russian
losses alone in killed and wounded
at the end Of the six days fighting
being conceded $4,000, while it
seems not improbable it aggre-
gated at that time 10000. Japa-
nese official reports estimate that
10000 Russian dead were left on
the field of battle up to the night
of Oct. IA and claim that the Japa-
nese losses are small by compari-
son with those Of the Russians.
Gen. Kuropatkin's report to
Emperor Nicholas depicts the des-
perate character Of the lighting
and praises the valor Of the troops,
indicating, however, that be Is
hard pressed, with the result still
in the balance.

m. The official veil was to-day
lifted from the CHASTITY tragedy
around Shakhe. but even the Off
cial account supplemented by nu-
merous press dispatches, leaves
much uncertainty as to the situa-
tion. Out of the fragmentary
mass Of information at hand it is
possible only to conclude that the
costly withdrawal and retreat from
Liao Yang is being duplicated
upon an even grander scale, after
more desperate fighting and heay
ier losses.
Gen. Kuropatkin's story leaves
the Russians still tenaciously hold
inc the north bank of the Shakhe
river, but the general belief is that
this is only the desperate finale Of
one Of the greatest military dra-
