REPORTED BY KUROPATK|N
BELATED DISPATCHES TELL OF
RUSSIAN DEFEAT ON THE
RIGHT FLANK.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 15.-The en-
peror has received the following dis
patch from General Kuropatkin:
''Two regiments of the Russian right
on Oct. 12 sustained heavy losses. The
commander of one was killed and the
brigade commander was wounded
Both regiments were compelled to
withdraw, abandoning their artillery,
but subsequently, under Colonel Van
novslky, who temporarily assumed COM
mand OF the brigade, they, after des-
perate assault, regained possession Of
the guns with the exception of sixteen,
which remained in the hands of the
Japanese. The final issue of the battle
Wednesday on this flank was unsuc-
cessful for us. On account of night
attack of the Japanese, who executed
turning movements, our troops were
forced not only to abandon their posi-
tions, but again lost the guns previ-
ously recovered from the Japanese.
Our forces retired to the position pre-
viously prepared on the Shakhe
river"

WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

The only direct news Of the days
fighting in Manchuria is contained in
al official report from Marshal Oyama
to Toxic that the battle is raging along
ALMOST the entire front and that the
Japanese are making satisfactory
progress" Beyond this the dispatches
relate entirely to the developments of
Wednesday and Thursday. They make
1t plain that the battle is Of the most
desperate character, the fighting ex-
ceeding in tierceness the terrific COM
bat at LiaOyang. The losses on both
sides are undoubtedly heavy, but no
figures have as yet been received.
kurOpatllin officially confirms the
loss Of large number of guns on his
right flank, which was forced from it's
position by night attack of the Jap
anese. He was also compelled tC
withdraw some distance on his left,
as the position was found to be TOO
far advanced.
The dispatches show that the opera
tiOns Of Wednesday and Thursday
were unfavOrable for the Russians.
The Russian losses are reported as
especially heavy on their left and cen
ter, where it appears that the hottest
lighting occurred

JAPANESE OFFICIAL REPORT
MlkADO'S FORCES HAVE BEEN ON
THE OFFENSIVE SINCE DAY.
BREAK THURSDAY.

Toxic, Oct. 15.-Marshal Oyama
sends the following report of the en-
gagements Of Wednesday and Thurs
day:
In the direction of Bensihu the en-
emy made repeated counter attacks on
Wednesday, but were repulsed. The
enemy showed a sign of retreat to-
wards the evening and our forces as
sumed the offensive since daybreak of
Thursday. The flanking movement of
our strong force of cavalry on the
Kanien largely contributed to the
favorable development of the situation
in that quarter.
"The central and left columns of the
right army both occupied important
eminences, continuing attacks Oper-
ations Of the central army are pro-
crossing favorably, dislodging the en-
e1ny there from several strategical
positions. Our reinforcements are ar
irving continually at Yentai."

ACRUSHIlG DEFEAT

Irom wnlcn 1t appears that the Russian
center was due north of the Yentai
mines, the right running west short
distance beyond the railroad and the
left sweeping southeastward toward
Bensihu. The real bloody work did
not begin until Wednesday, when the
Japanese made a series Of determined
attacks on Sialiuhedzy, about seven
miles north of Yentai, but the Russians
time, however, the extreme right was
forced back, thus compelling kuropat-
kin to slightly draw back his line
above Yentai in order to preserve it's
alignment. On the extreme left, after
determined resistance, the Russians
succeeded in carrying the rocky
heights and Hua pass north OF Ben
sihu, but the arrival of Japanese rein
Russians to press their advantage
advanced it also was withdrawn some
distance. Reports from the left, how

that the Japanese assaults will eX-

band received fatal injuries while
giving an exhibition test Of a new.
patent fire escape at the Germania
Life Insurance company's building in
the presence OF a large crowd. Scam
mon had descended in safety from the
eighth story to the third, where he
took his wife on the rope by way of
showing how roscues could be effected.
The added weight caused the rope to
cut through on the sharp stone sill
where it was fastened at the eighth
story and it broke almost as soon as
Mrs. Scammon got on the escape. Both
victims struck on their heads, the wo-
mans neck being broken. Mr.. Scam

Expecssd to Join Rebellion Against
German Rule,

Berlin, Oct. 15.-Germany's old en-
emy of a decade ago, Hendrick Witboi,
according to an official dispatch. from
Windhoek, German Southwest Africa,
has declared war against the Germans.
He sent Samuel Isaak, Oct 3, to Rurgs
dortf with declaration of hostilties.
The station at Morenga, which re-
Gently was reported to have been at
tackled by insurgent Witbois, is offer
ing firm resistance and is continu-
ally receiving reinforcements of mount
ed and unmounted Germans. There
are many gatherings of Hottentots on
the Grootbroek and Caro- rivers,
eighty miles south of Gibeon, connec-
tion with which has been cut off, 1t
is expected in German official circles
that Hendrick Witboi's influence will
cause a majority of the Hottentot
tribes TO join in the uprising as Wit
boi, ever since his rebellion was
quelled ten years ago, has been credit
ed with designs to seize a favorable
moment to throw off the German yoke.
